Autoweek regarding what their writer is calling the '24-'25 Silly Season:

"The breakdown: It's a buyer's market, and as many as 13 seats on the current Formula 1 grid could be up for grabs."

Just Autoweek's speculation, but I don't think that there is any doubt that there won't be a lot of changes.

So who thinks that the Mr. Horner saga's verdict was inspired and paid for by Netflix? Just in time.....

Ya think? Nah...that would NEVER be the case. Lol.

Wonder what they paid Christian Horner to agree to allow Netflix to put dirty laundry rumors out there while also capitalizing on his distraught, crying celebrity wife. It would have to be a substantial amount. I guess he drew the line at allowing the "inappropriate" behavior to cross over to infidelity or advances of that nature. Can't let it get to sullied!!!

The "news" of the exoneration per Autoweek:

If Sainz has a good Season he seems like a top choice for many teams! Funny how regardless of what type of racing one likes ( F1, Nascar, Indycar, etc. ) each has a dramatic " Silly Season " every year. On the sidelines we call it " Drama " but if one could get into a top driver's head the level of intense constant pressure must be insane?

SimCity on steroids x 1,000,000 = SimLife! Nothing Is Real. Hahahaha.

Very little surprises me anymore so maybe you're on to something!

No surprise Max grabs the first pole of the season . Ferrari/McLaren/Aston Martin not far behind . Hulk pulls off another good qually hopefully the Haas chassis doesn't grind the rear tires off in five laps . Disappointed in Logan Sargeant , he better realize it's this year to prove his worth or he's gone . Alpine are lost they have a huge hill to climb . Stake/Sauber not much better . VCarb barely ahead of those two . Russell beat Hamilton by quite a bit . Let's hope for a good race tomorrow .

Wait! There was driving? All I see is the soap box drivel
