There have been a couple of good races lately.   Riccardo's taking the fastest lap away from Lando in Singapore means that if Lando wins every race and Verstappen comes in second, Verstappen will win the championship by one point.  Riccardo is rumored to be out of a seat.

No it isn't, Miami already happened.

I am going to miss Riccardo, not sure why he hasn't been meeting expectations for the last few years.

It?s definitely been a very interesting season.
It?s nice seeing a major shake up of the top teams and never knowing who may actually win on Sunday.

Sad to see Ricciardo go. I too just don?t understand what happened with him. 
We will not be seeing another changing of the guard as a bunch of new younger racers come in and more veterans retire. 

I was super happy to finally see Verstappen penalized not once, but twice for driving like an A-Hole.
He could have caused a major accident with that B.S.

Verstappen had better be careful with that crap or he could take himself out of a race and make it that much easier for someone else to take the championship from him.

I can?t remember the last time someone won the F1 driver?s championship but their team did not win the Contructors.
This was a very refreshing and exciting season with the possibility of almost anyone being capable of winning.

With the driver lineups shuffled next season, I am curious to see how it all pans out.
The Netflix show for this season should be interesting.

Curious to see if Perez keeps his ride or if they replace him, because he is the reason Red Bull dropped to 3rd in the Constructors.

Finally watched the last race, Verstappen proved once again why I don't like him.  When he made the should have asked for 20 sec comment, the FIA should have said here you go you now have an extra 20 sec penalty.  What a a%@hole.

Season is over, we have a major shuffle in driver's line up.  Next year should be interesting.

It is almost that time again.

The first Formula 1 race of the 2025 season will be the Australian Grand Prix, which takes place March 14?16, 2025. The race will be held at Albert Park in Melbourne, Australia

Did you watch the 2025 F1 livery reveal?  I feel so sorry for the drivers having to put up with that (though Jack Whitehall was funny - actually the star of the show).

Well I can't find the livery I first saw, instead only this one which I think is horrible:

6 Rookies have made practice interesting, at least a couple of them have :)
Qualifying was interesting.  Keep an eye on the team in blue.

WOW!   Rain, dry, rain, dry.  Action packed in sections and follow the leader in others. One car off in the formation lap, two off in the first lap.
4 of the 6 rookies in the wall.  2 Veteran drivers into the wall.  A nail bitter at the end.

Leclerc, Hamilton and Gasly disqualified.  Hamilton's rear skid plate was worn to 8.5-6 mm and the limit is 9 mm.

The other two were 1 kilo below the 800 kilo limit.

P1 and 2 where last night.   P2 had 3 or 4 red flags two for fires.  The grass around the track is very dry.
