I think he’ll sign eventually, but it is strange how long it’s dragging on. With the season being moved back a bit and testing now mid-March they can probably go as late as the end as February to get a deal done.
Pretty strong statement by Monaco, but I can still see Montreal and Baku being cancelled again.
Lol I would say Uralchem and Uralkali more than fill the void. One place said $40M I think.
This could very well be Lewis' last season, if he wins number eight I think he retires.
He said he wants to drive the new car, IIRC.

Gonna keep happening with these guys that run out of budget or get stuck in a driver academy backlog. Enzo Fittipaldi is coming back to America for the RTI, Callum Ilott is being placed in a GT program by Ferrari. F1 feeder system is just brutal right now, Logan was one first-lap incident at Mugello away from an F3 title and gets this instead.American F3 ace Logan Sargeant eyes sportscar switch
FIA Formula 3 Championship star Logan Sargeant is weighing up a switch to sports-prototype or GT racing because he is short of budget to continue in open-wheel racing.
Logan Sargeant might be leaving the Formula Feeder Series ladder due to a budget shortfall. He was really, really good in F3 this season and man it would be incredible to see another American driver in F1 again. If he switches to sports car racing, I'm sure he'll be able to land something solid. The young man is a really well-rounded driver.
I wonder what Dalton is up to these days, I'd love to see them both driving together in IMSA. Dalton was a handy road racer himself, but oddly enough Logan has always been an open-wheel guy.
In the coming years I think we’ll see stuff like the Alpine and Ferrari academies used more and more to develop guys for the programs they have in the pipeline but haven’t formally announced yet too. Better to develop a guy for a few years and have somewhere else to put him if there aren’t enough seats at the top in F1.
The Road to Indy seems to work pretty well looking at how the amount of young North American drivers increased over the last decade.
He just disappeared after losing that truck ride. Dalton has been inactive on twitter since 2018 and website actually still has GMS merch. I would've liked to see him stick around in NASCAR. He wasn't bad at all.
They were considering replacing qualifying with a sprint race with the starting order determined by the overall standings in reserve.

Engine development will be a massive undertaking if that’s really what they do from 2025 onwards, and can’t find a manufacturer to partner with - I don’t buy into the constant Porsche/Audi tease. I think the engine freeze between 2022-2024 should be good, I’m interested to see what their “engine parity” plan for that time period looks like.Red Bull just announced they have bought the Honda engine program and will run the engines until 2024 then develop their own engines for 25.
Red Bull teams to keep Honda engines
Red Bull's Formula 1 teams will still use Honda's engines after the Japanese company leaves the sport later this year.
Red Bull is really starting to dive into engineering. The Valkyrie project, the development of the Hydrogen project with Oreca, so this almost like progression for Red Bull. They still have a ton of engineers from Honda still helping out, so this will be an interesting development over time.
After getting burned by Rich Energy and having to take a highly-funded driver in Mazepin, Haas need all the external help they can get, IMO. This isn’t a bad year to do it since they have no expectations anyways, along with the new regulations to focus on. Otherwise I don’t wanna hear about how poor they are and how Gene is spending so much out of pocket to stay in the sport.
