'Jackpot for FIA: Fines handed out tripled over the last year'
Hello; Back in the 1960's thru to around 1970 there was a small town with the reputation of being a speed trap. It was on US 25E north of Corbin KY. Eventually I-75 bypassed that small town and i imagine their revenue dropped.

Yep, the Sharpton Jackson of F1. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him do a side by side with aoc some where down the line. And if KTM has an ounce of smarts they’ll keep him as far away from that team as possible.

Stand back and stand by.

I completely get developing drivers. I do think many times they push them up to quick and they ruin what could be very good drivers with just a little more time to mature and develop.

With 6 rookies on the grid (and Stroll lol) we're going to see a lot of incidents and some teams cutting development due to the cost of fixing cars.

You’re referring to the guy that raced the first several races this season with broken bones in both his lower arms? He won F3 at one point to. Never understood why so many hate on someone that had an opportunity that was helped by their father. His Dad never apologized for what he could do for his son, nor should he.

Here to #8!

Hello; My favorite currently active driver is Alonzo. However, he is over 40 so I realize his age is a big factor. Experience can help a driver up to a point. Put him in a top tier car and he can do well. Hamilton is near as old. Both are hanging in a bit too long.
The Ferrari will need to be the superior car by some margin to give Hamilton the needed edge to overcome age slowed reflexes. Ferrari being Ferrari and going by recent performances I do not see that level of advantage.
But it is too early to make a call on which team will have the better cars. Might be LH will have lucked out with the move. We shall see.

A boon for the Hamilton fanboys which naturally translates to hatred for Max is the level of punishments being put upon Max. I do not follow off season stuff much but did see a story of Max getting penalty points from a simulation. Apparently, the penalty points from a simulation run will go on his racing license. That could be one way to keep him from wining another championship, by banning him from races.

If that happens it's absolutely insane. I don't think it would ever happen but some odd decisions are made at times.

Max Verstappen hit with first penalty of 2025 for sim race incident

Hello; Not clear in this link that the penalty includes points on his license. I thought I had seen a news flash about this a few days ago which appeared to indicate such a thing. Regardless some officials are apparently gunning for him.
