Good for Carlos.
Payback for screwing up his pit stop and getting booted from Ferrari in favour of Hamilton.
I'm still pissed about Sainz leaving, I've been a Testarossa fan since Niki Lauda. Had Jon Elkann not faced down a hostile takeover, the Hamilton deal may never have happened.

Blame Trudeau.

I can think of a few teams that may experience radio problems when it comes to team orders the last two races. Still the constructors point to consider for a few teams but for the drivers it’s all about racing for pride now.

I don’t think Max is going to have a cakewalk of a season next year, damn good thing he built up a big lead this year or I doubt he would be champion and all bets are off for 26.

Would love to see Caddy come in and kick ass like they do in IMSA and at LeMans.

Is this basically saying Andretti will enter a F1 team in 2026?
I didn't see his name mentioned in the article that's why I am asking.

Andretti announced a few weeks ago he was stepping back from Andretti International, not leaving but taking a lesser role.

I have zero facts to back this up but I have a feeling that all the bad mouthing he, his wife at the time and later Marco did of Micheals brief time in F1the years following his quick departure may have had something to do with them not wanting to give him a team.

From the little bit I’ve seen on this it will be a GM lead team using Ferrari engines in 26/27 and then their own in 28 going forward.

I would LOVE to work with Red Bull. They are such a fantastically creative and adventurous group, all founded in integrity.

Good for Carlos.

I've been involved with Ferrari in AMLS and to a lesser degree with their F1 team in the past before and during Sergio's tenure. Same with Piaggio who used to build a really cool twin turboprop call the Avanti. Great hosts, great food, very stylish, super friendly IF you are on the inside but HOLY FUCK what a group of underhanded double crossers. And this Agnelli family has royally fucked up Chrysler/Stellantis or whatever the fuck they call themselves these days.

I still respect Ferrari for many reasons but they do make a lot of bad decisions. Like abandoning Sainz who is a real class act and more representative of the Ferrari brand than Lewis Hamilton will ever be. LeClerc is arrogant and has the Monagesque lineage to be cocky and fit in at Ferrari, but deep down, the eye-ties in Maranello won't take too well to a black former superstar with his own distinctive fashion style from England.

Sainz is a class act with skill and discipline. He reminds me of Nico Rosberg in his cool, understated intelligent disciplined personality. I will follow him to whatever team he drives for.

Congratulations Max! 🏆🏆🏆🏆

I go back to the days of watching Senna, live, in Montreal, in the JPS Lotus, the rain. A truly remarkable driver. Max, in my opinion, is on that level.
