Testing is over, season begins in 2 weeks.

I'm picking McLaren constructors champions and Leclerc WDC!

The first four races have been decent, but I doubt RB will fix their issues anytime soon. My favorite so far is Piastri because he seems to handle the pressure better than Norris. But the season is so long and a lot can happen.

If Norris just gets in a groove he can win easily, but he makes one error, and then goes wide on overtakes, and he just cant' get past top-teams with 2-3 small mishaps. Piastri is so solid, he's a force for sure.

Meanwhile the other teams are all in their own battles to match that speed and none have really proven anything. Max can win if the track is hard to pass and he gets a massive pole position like in Japan. Helluva drive. But also, if Red Bull like...figures out how to make their car operate easier (bc it seems like it's a bit slower to the pack and much twitchier than normal) Max could steal this title away from McLaren. I still picked Leclerc WDC but Ferrari have to win races immediately for this to be a reality lol

Things are going kind of crazy in the F1 world

Hello, pal. Whats up ?



McLaren are under pressure. Ferrari suck (which I'm a tortured Ferrari fan, but that's ok I'm used to it). Max is on a charge. Can he topple the faster MCL team in a stunning upset ??? I'm very eager for the US GP in Austin tomorrow and with 6 total races, two more sprints, all is on the table --- that's 168 pts. [I'm rooting for Verstappen lol]

DIdn't know this was a thread. I am also Verstappen fan, I found myself cheering for the favorite only in F1, in other sports I almost always cheer for the underdog. But I was huge Schumacher fan and now was Verstappen fan since very beginning, I thought he will be new goat. He is not favorite this season, but been huge one in some previous seasons.

I am very casual fan, I do not follow any news, just see races and thats all. Not sure what is happening with McLaren, but they won construction cup already, so they can allow non sense a bit at least this season. I hope Verstappen makes a ridiculous comeback, if not, I hope Piastri wins, just cause I have money on him or Verstappen winning, if Norris winds championship I am left with nothing :lol:

I'm a bit casual I dont know technical specs at all but I have a love for the talent of a race --- moto... f1, etc i love the massive risk it takes to win as a driver. So..... ya McLaren has had a championship winning car, but they've muddled up their dominance by trying to play it fair to both Oscar and Lando, even with a constructors champ they surely want a driver's champ too :lol: but Max, man, he's a living legend even if I'm not a RB fan, he's the best driver I've ever seen and I root for him too 8-)
