F1 2024 News/Misc.

Lewis qualified P18 for the GP after making setup changes for the dry and locking up on the penultimate corner in his final Q1 attempt. Seems like it’s always up and down for that team these days. P3-P7 were once again awfully close.
 
Checo looking competent again has been an underrated storyline so far this season, imo. Guy was spinning in every practice session and getting eliminated in Q2 every week last year, it felt like. So far he’s back in form.

Supposedly Mercedes and Sainz are both very interested in each other, but Merc want to do that 1+1 contract structure they did with Lewis while Sainz wants 2+1. Toto is still gung-ho on Antonelli and would probably want him in their car no later than 2026, as long as he progresses as they’d like.

Didn’t see this posted but Will Buxton thinks Merc is off the table for Carlos b/c Toto wants Antonelli in the car and 2025 can be a learning/throw-away year. Carlos might end up at Sauber/Audi
