2025 Aston Martin | Aramco F1 Team

[Farnborough]

I wouldn't mind Bearman.

Ferrari must have him on a contract that ties to them longer term. Doubt there's much chance of that letting him go.

Performance so far has given that he can ultimately execute the pace he can apply in bringing that to close out results. Quite often elusive a quality in drivers that are otherwise fast.

He must be contingency for SF team should current driver lineup change.

If it is true then Max will move to Ferrari....HAM and Max in Ferrari will be very interesting Like Alonso VS HAM 2007.

Couple of things have to happen for that scenario to have an increased probability.
#1 RBR have to suck in 2026 with a wait of more than 1 year for them to return to prominence.
#2 Ferrari have to look strong, top 2, out of the gate in 2026. Otherwise why would he go there?
#3 If Ferrari are in the top 2, the other top team better not have a drive vacancy, they might out bid Ferrari.

So that sounds like alot of things to fall into place. Little early to be counting those chickens.

The other thing is, 2007 happened cause of the age of the 2 drivers, the team they were at and the fact they were a UK team played into it as well. Neither MAX or Hamilton are Italian so neither would think that the other was getting preferential treatment cause of the other's nationality. Plus, Hamilton wouldn't let it get to that with the experience he has now, completely different head space.

Agreed, they can't keep him down forever and they will have to get rid of one of the two they have on hand. They're all drivers I'd take over there. Heck I'd even take the one they let go, Sainz.

At the moment I believe they are just speculative media information.

Leclrec is very talented and excellent for media marketing.

But if Piastri will be available then why not try to get him.

I have read another speculation that Aston is aiming to change the whole line up duo in 2027

Less than 10% chance of points in my opinion here... Only Haas look slower so far?

[search]

Bortoletto runs old parts, I think, so he may be withing reach. Haas should normally improve tomorrow.

[FNTC]

Both Astons stayed in for the first 45 minutes of fp3 as if they are just waiting for 2026 to come around

[FNTC]

The boys put the cars in P8 and 9 after just a few laps of running, so lets hope its slippery in qualy too then

[Otromundo]

First time the tire strategy works. They've been sharp this time. We'll see if we make it to Q3 and what happens then.

[vas_04614]

Race is expected to be dry, looking at q1 of quali hope it rains tomorrow also

taking inters there in Q2 was too much of a gamble, I think. Not necessary, with one of the fastest cars in these condtions.

Agree. Really hard to understand this decision

[Otromundo]

For the race, I would load half the fuel in Fernando's car... and let him enjoy it a bit until it runs out. Then withdraw, and if we have to pay a fine, it won't be money compared to what has been wasted.

They asked Stroll if he wanted to try inters, he said yes. They asked Alonso and he said it was too wet. There was also this thing were they expected to have 3 more hot laps and that was missed by seconds.

I didn’t know they had asked the pilots’ opinion about the possibility of switching to inters. I thought it was the team’s decision to run with different tires to gather more information, and I thought that was fine, although I also thought they did it late.

I’ve checked the weather forecast, and rain during the race cannot be completely ruled out. If it rains, things could get interesting. And it could also work in our favor. Although this fight for scraps… mmm… it’s not exactly what I was expecting at the end of this season.

That’s why running with half a tank to enjoy half the race would make sense. Despite the consequent penalty. I’m sorry for being a bit grumpy, but what a disastrous season this has been...
