They're only allowed 4 drivers in a season, except in case of force majeure. Lawson is safe until Lindblad turns 18.

Enjoyed the stat that came out after yesterday that Lawson has a 50% crash rate in his F1 career. Not always race ending but his current participation record is he's 50/50 going to crash each time he enters a race weekend.

Horrendous accident at the British Superbike Championship round at Oulton Park with an 11 bike accident in the second Supersport race causing the race meeting to be cancelled.
Its since been confirmed that three riders suffered significant injuries, two of which died afterwards; horrendous.

A interesting video about McLaren's (possible) brake magic from the guy who did his PHD on phase changing materials while working for them a couple of years ago:
It's an interesting hypothesis, it'd be neat if its true.

I thought this had been proven to be water in the tires? Horner has proof ….

Chris Medland reporting that Ollie Oakes has quit at Alpine and Flavio is taking over as team principal
Especially as he shouldn’t be within five miles of an F1 pit lane, ever.
Unsurprising, given how much the Cheat has been undermining Oakes.

How coincidental that rumours of Doohan likely being dropped come out the same day as Briatore somehow gets control of Alpine again...

Doohan was a dead man walking from the minute Colapinto was signed. Totally setup to fail.
Wild that Flav has squirmed his way back in in 2025 ffs!

Flav shouldn’t be anywhere near F1.
It’s unbelievably harsh on Jack Doohan and as already said he’s been setup to fail, when Alpine signed Colapinto anyone could see the writing was on the wall and this change was inevitable.
Oscar Piastri must be so glad he got himself out of there when he did.
