Might as well just get Max and Perez to decide who gets the Title in a 30 lap duel around Brands Hatch at this point - rest of the grid basically isn't needed

I hope as we move into the European season we at least start to see weather (rain) make a bit of an impact

How poor do Ferrari look? Mercedes out and out saying their car is **** and still Ferrari can't beat them

2/10 for me - 1 for Alonso in 3rd and 1 for Sir Jackie Stewart on the grid walk

Alonso maybe; they both live for driving. Not saying Ham isn’t invested but Max and Alonso eat, sleep and breathe racing.

Would be better to see Russell, Norris or Charles get a chance in the RB (if not Alonso).

Until Max isn't there that 2nd seat will never be anyone who's actually going to be challenging Max properly, much more likely to see a Red Bull junior or Ricciardo in there than anyone decent sadly

The trouble is, that still doesn't make the crazy domination any better/right.

I don't know how F1 can stop this happening, but everything they try either doesn't work or makes things worse.

If anything, new regulations all the time seems to actually make things worse, because as soon as we get to a point where other teams start to catch up with the dominant team, changes come and a new dominant team emerges.

I have no doubt other teams will eventually find a way to get close/on par with the new RB....but that will probably be close to 2026 when another set of new regs come in and upend everything again!

Lets be honest the only way your getting identical/close racing is a spec series and F1 has always avoided that

 

[chrismscotland]

I'll be stunned if DR isn't in an AT seat mid season, if only so that RB can see if he's still decently quick.

Could easily see Perez binned for next season if things between him and Max sour
