Silly season 2021-2022-2023

I'm not a fan of Charles. I rate him with Webber and Barrichello.

Leclerc > Vettel > Webber > Leclerc



If Webber = Leclerc and Heidfeld = Sainz, then does Ferrari urgently need to bring in a more talented rookie at least a Tier 1B level like Williams did? So Rosberg = Bearman...? One wonders how so many other F1 fans and Ferrari itself are so mistaken about Leclerc.

They are welcome to rate him however they want.

That doesn't change my opinion of him. He's still not a top-shelf talent like Ham/Ves/Alo.

Horner says Riccardo is now competitive on the sim again and has his mojo back. This certainly sounds promising for a return next year.

“But he seems to have rediscovered his mojo, he’s been working hard on the simulator, he’s now extremely competitive in what he’s doing in the virtual world.

Christian suggested that's its up to Alpha Tauri if they want him.

[djos]

Agreed, but if Perez keeps screwing up or throws in the towel, Daniel might get his RBR seat back.

That move he put on Max at the start of the sprint race was dirty AF, at least Christian knows that Daniel will race max cleanly.

What about LeClerc to Aston Martin in 2025?

[Zynerji]

Agreed, but if Perez keeps screwing up or throws in the towel, Daniel might get his RBR seat back.

Like Baku 2018 clean?

That was different, Max cut back across the front of Daniel and the loss of downforce caused his brakes to lock and then he crashed into the back of Max.

Checo has a history of trying to force other drivers off the track.

I think RBR should buy out Lando. THAT would be a team to watch on track.

[Willy]

They should immediately put Lawson at AT and see how he performs and develops over the next 12 months. Then they can have choices which are both internal and external like Lando and Charles.

RUMOUR - According to Corriere dello Sport:

If Carlos Sainz leaves Ferrari at the end of his contract (2024) to go to a team where he becomes the clear lead driver, Ferrari may target Alex Albon to replace him.

Albon's current contract also expires at the end of 2024.

[DGP123]

Albon

My god. Ferrari doing Ferrari things.

[TNTHead]

Albon

My god. Ferrari doing Ferrari things.

Actually they are at the same level, or SAI a bit higher if you compare them in their time in the same team as VER.

[chrisc90]

I will be massively surprised if Perez keeps a RB seat after 2024. I agree with Zynerji - RB should buy out Lando. That would be a good team for RB. Said it before and ill say it again. If I was Lando - I would have regretted not taking up a RB offer when it was there.

[djos]

After another poor qualifying, Perez is imo toast! Time to slot Daniel back into his seat!
