    McLaren and Mercedes have good pairings.
    Ferrari not, Red Bull has only Max.

    They may as well put all their faith in the return of the V10 in F1 ! ;)

    May as well.

    Ferrari are now in their longest ever title draught. Ferrari is not going to win it this year, either. Ferrari has a history of not really nailing brand new regs, so forget 2026.

    I re-iterate what I said a few times now. Should've blank-chequed Newey and let him do what he wants. Drivers, team, operations. Let him operate exactly how he want.

    But too late for that now.

    Ferrari prioritizes hats over titles.

    Max's pole lap time is the fastest lap in Suzuka history.

    Yep. Dropping an excellent driver pairing for someone at the end of his career for a LOT of money is not the hallmark of a team that is seriously pursuing titles.

    And do you know what's funnier? Hamilton's salaries and bonuses would be enough for Newey AND Verstappen.

    But like you said, hat sales are doing well - that's what matters the most :rolleyes:

    Ferrari is just too focused on hype. Every thing about the company has shifted to focus on style over substance. It’s not the same company or leadership it once was.

    Remember flying into Milan Malpensa at night, you could see the gigantic gold Gucci sign from 10+ miles out on the approach,which kind of sums up Italy ;)

    Gucci, a very Italian brand, now part of the Kerings portfolio of companies... owned by the French. Lol

    Seemto me Chuck is not in that bad a position right now. If max and Norris make a mess out of themselves and eat the tires up, he may be able to salvage a podium. Thats if the cars doesn't crap out or his tires go off, or the plank is worn or they miss weight....

    On the other hand, Russell could be a threat since he's very close.
    How the Red Bull will cope with the whole length of the GP remains to be seen, Max may struggle to keep his position.
    So in a way, it's more open than expected - my first guess would have been for McLaren 1-2, Russell 3 and Leclerc 4.

    Max beat Norris by braking later in the last chicane....25 meters later. Insane.

    One insane braking won the pole position: Verstappen vs Norris Japan Q3

    This is a message for Hadjar's father.

    Could you please go to Hamilton's box to comfort him and give him some parental advice?

    Thanks.
