Re: 2024 Season Grand Prix Megathread

@P4st3l1ak Aha, don't give our politicians credit by using the word "bullied". The correct word would be "fooled". 🫣 But that's another argument anyway....

Actually, I'm already looking past this season and into the 2026 regs. Looks like there's a few issues with the active aero @mariohomoh , have you been following?

If what the race are saying it seems that Antonelli is favourite for the Merc seat in 2025 unless they can sign Max. I don’t see Max leaving Red Bull though considering its the best car on the grid

Hey folks,

quick reminder to keep things on topic and F1 related. This forum isn't a place to discuss politics. That includes off-hand comments or jokes.

@Cpayne32 Haven't watched the video yet, but yes, Antonelli would probably be a good gamble to take. I still think Toto will want to take his time with the decision. Keep in mind, Antonelli hasn't even won a race in F2! I just checked and he's in 9th place after 3 races.

If he doesn't show considerable improvement and raw talent in the next few months, I see no way of him getting the Mercedes seat. Way more likely that he'll race for Williams in 2025 and if he performs, only then a Mercedes seat might be an option with the new 2026 regulations.

@EA_Vendcera Yeah i could much much see Albon getting the mercedes seat but that would leave logan as williams experienced driver which im not sure is a good stop
