Charles Leclerc hit with 10 place grid penalty for having to change out the battery pack . That really hurts Ferrari in their chase for the constructors championship.

Major ouch, but since I have been rooting for McClaren to win the Championship this year I imagine this gives them some breathing room. I will admit 2025 is looking like it could be a banner year for F1 and hopefully we will see a new Driver Champion.

Interesting development regarding McLaren, the automotive company. The sale has apparently been in the works for awhile now.

"SSO Update: McLaren Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday"

"Under this agreement, CYVN will acquire McLaren’s automotive business and a non-controlling stake in McLaren’s racing business."

Lots of "His Excellency" mentions in the article - several different "His Excellencies", actually.

Appreciate all the info gentlemen, and I have to admit the McClaren purchase was a big surprise, as I thought full info on Aston Martin and a possible purchase might be dropped soon.

That rendering looks good to me. Several other significant changes outlined in the article. Hopefully, those will all further contribute to the better racing F1 is experiencing.

I like this line at the end: "Teams cannot start aerodynamic work on the 2026 cars until January 1 2025." Anyone cheating? Lol.

Wow, 2026 will be here after one more season - hard for me to believe!

In sad F1 news former team principal Eddie Jordan announced he has been diagnosed with aggressive prostate and bladder cancer . I wish him the best in his fight .

Sergio Perez released from Red Bull effective immediately . Liam Lawson will probably backfill . Tough business but too much $$$ at stake for poor performance .

Red Bull announce Liam Lawson is moving up to be Max's teammate .

Ya think that Red Bull has a bias against asian drivers?
