Congratulations to Max Verstappen, this year it was an easy season for him to become world champion, but I hope for us viewers that next season it will be a bit more exciting and there will be a two or three-way fight for the title.

I wish that too but it seems kind of unlikely in my opinion. As long as he races in one of the top 2 cars, he will be champion until 2026. But what I am most curious about is whether he can continue with the same motivation after the championships, otherwise I think he will retire rather than becoming a "safe driving" driver like Hamilton. And also, we can see what a huge dominance he has, he became the drivers' champion in the race he didn't win. That's saying something.

I don't think Max will retire so quickly, the dominance of Max and RedBull as you write will probably stay until 2026 unless Ferrari and Mercedes make a huge step forward.

From the 2026 season with a new engine regulation it will hopefully be more exciting again, and there are at least 2 teams at the top, before RedBull with Mercedes it was also boring even if Rosberg could keep up with Hamilton, which is unfortunately not the case at the moment with Perez.

Max surely wants to beat all the records on F1, including the world championship one, now in hands of Schumacher and Hamilton in 7, so i can see him here for a few years more.

Plus i see him enjoying being lonely in the top of the race without so much battling.

Lando Norris is way too arrogant lately in order to be good on track and if he thinks he is still funny ...well ..he is not anymore. Sure , he is pure talent but he is nowhere near as talented as Piastri becasuse this kid in his rookie season might end up with more points than Lewis had in his first season and this is without taking a victory so far.

True , Verstappen had no real fight this year and it's the same year like 2003 with Schumacher when he really dominated from start to end most of the races. 

For me, Oscar Piastri is more down to earth than Lando Norris so for sure Oscar Piastri is a boy next door kind of image in my opinion, for sure both McLaren did a great job in the Qatar Grand Prix and I think both McLaren deserves it but for sure Oscar Piastri is more talented than Lando Norris for sure Oscar Piastri in this Qatar GP is quite formidable in always getting 1st or 2nd for sure

Congratulations to Max Verstappen, this year it was an easy season for him to become world champion, but I hope for us viewers that next season it will be a bit more exciting and there will be a two or three-way fight for the title.

Actually, I am excited about McLaren's pursuing the Podium every race, McLaren is doing great right now, and well maybe we can see McLaren can get a win next season or take over the Dominance of Red Bull but for sure McLaren is nearing that kind of upgrade and because of the talents of both driver I really think they can eventually done it,

I don't think Max will retire so quickly, the dominance of Max and RedBull as you write will probably stay until 2026 unless Ferrari and Mercedes make a huge step forward.

For sure only Max Verstappen can answer that if he's going to retire so soon, but I think Red Bull is doing great right now I think he will do whatever it takes to take all records if he can, and right now he has gotten his 2023 Formula One World Champion in winning the Qatar Grand Prix, but we still have 5 more rounds on the Calendar for this season but because of all that wins Max Verstappen has he already won the 2023 F1 World Champion,

This is true since he has a competitive side around him so of course he will more than likely want to beat those records. He won't retire until he comes close and eventually smashes them.
He began driving in the F1 at the age of 16 so in a span of 10 years has accomplished so much. I wouldn't doubt if he drives for another 10 years from here.

I remember and saw the video when a young Max Verstappen kissed Michael Schumacher in the cheeks. Jos Verstappen the father of Max has a long-term friendship history with Michael Schumacher and at a very young age Max Verstappen is quite sure what he wants to do with his life, for sure when this video emerges because of the Series in Netflix Drive to Survive for sure it does feature the History of F1 and the best one is with Max Verstappen youth and when he was starting in the sports of racing

Right now Max Verstappen has gotten his 3rd championship because of his winnings and pretty much it is settled even if he loses in the remaining Race Calendar Max can surely relax but for sure he is not letting this slip the remaining Calendar Race to make his winning Streak record again,

The next Calendar will be in the United States and the Circuit name will be Circuit of The Americas for sure this is another challenge for the drivers of F1 for sure,

The last 5 races of the season start this weekend, I just checked (I'm already too far behind to get any further) but the TOP10 at Superbru are close together and with a bit of luck anyone can still win.

Anyway, it was the first time for me to take part in such a betting game, even if I won't be able to get much further ahead this year, I still hope that this game will be back next year and that I will make an effort this year and with a bit of luck get a bit further ahead.

The top 10 in the F1 pool for the forum are indeed very tightly packed together in points and it will come down to these five final races since we had a few races cancelled during the season so it does make it harder to catch up in the standings.
Yes, it is fun to participate in these forum pools and it is a bit of a bonus if you end up winning something at the end.
Just as long there are enough interest associated with them as shown in the number of entrants will they continue to have them sponsored thus having entry available at the start of each season.

Max Verstappen for me is a legitimate F1 Driver in regards to those speeds that are needed on the track while managing to be focused is really something that he can only achieve, for sure just what you think about him I really think that Max Verstappen will not retire yet, it is really great if you can retire early on and you will now enjoy your retirement but for people that are being practical in life for sure Max Verstappen will likely focus with what he can achieve now, so for sure he will not retire so soon,


New for the F1 fans just some Premier League footballers Trent Alexander-Arnold and Juan Mata and champion boxer Anthony Joshua are one of the highly profiled people in the sports that are now partners and investors for Alpine F1

And not just that The consortium is made up of Otro Capital, RedBird Capital Partners, and Maximum Efforts Investments - the latter led by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny, who also own Wrexham AFC, plus fellow actor Michael B Jordan also listed as a co-investor, For sure the sports of F1 is pretty much likely got their attention now, for sure there will be some major sponsors in the future that will likely get partnered with the F1 sports as well in the upcoming future,

We have F1 returning this weekend at the circuits of the Americas in Austin Texas with a couple of sprint races.
So anticipate another few unexpected results with Max already closing out his season.

It is very good when the races are at USA because it's at hours that you are almost always at home. Most races in Europe happens at times when it is not really possible for me to watch because I am not at home, it is Sunday so people are usually out, if I am at home then I definitely watch it, but when I am not at home because of the hour I miss them. This one will be at midnight for me so it is going to be good, I will be at home anyway and should be very fun to watch once again.

It's a trick track as well and the results are a little unknown, we do not usually have any crashes all that much, not single car ones at least, cars could hit each other, but it is not a street circuit and along with French gp, it is one of the most wide open ones, and usually we see cars max speed here.

[owengtam09]

This week we are in the United States for the next F1 race let's talk about the Circuit Of The Americas, and on this track that was first used in the year 2012 there are 56 laps available Circuit length was 5.513km, the Race Distance was 308.405 km, and in 2019 Charles Leclerc was the fastest to run his record of 1:36.169 time, this Circuit was designed by Hermann Tilke in collaboration with American architectural firm HKS and was Lewis Hamilton’s last ever win in a McLaren before his switch to Mercedes for 2013, and this Track for sure has many wide tracks for F1 to make an overtake so this is 1 chill ride in my opinion, now here is the video of Nico Rosberg explaining what he thinks about the track

And Great news for the Philippines F1 fans because McLaren is signing F1 Academy's Bianca Bustamante as 1st female member of the Driver Development Programme this is certainly a true opportunity for the Filipina to set her dreams to be in the F1 race and sure in the McLaren a well know F1 team that means she will be working with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri for sure, and As part of the program, Bustamante will represent McLaren on the 2024 F1 Academy grid and run their livery, switching to race with ART Grand Prix, for sure she is one grateful Filipina,

This is some amazing news for the F1 Academy and it also is important to mention they have announced that all races in this women's F1 driving will be fully televised starting new year for their 2024 season.
Where they have been only showing highlights of each of the races having been taking place. Which I found strange as well.
So each race only was shown for roughly 25-30 minutes or less and only available online.

[redsun114]

With females getting a lot more time on the academy part of the deal, I wonder when will be the next time we will end up with a female driver.

I mean this isn't really all that impossible, sure requires a bit more strength and I wouldn't be able to drive it as a male, so we all know there are already some great ones, but with them getting this much time on the tracks and getting to know it and learning, there could be one eventually. Thinking about PR as well, I think a team that is running at the very bottom could end up with someone who could give them some marketing, a female driver would be a huge huge deal, and that would be a lot of money for that team if they did that, could be a good idea to at least give someone a few tries in a few races as a reserve driver.

Actually, for sure it was really time for them to do such a thing I guess it was really late because we only had 1 more race on the Calendar, that is why it is really a bummer that they are late in doing so, and maybe bookies can add the F1 Academy on their list as well just in case we want to make bets, there is a lot of possibility to be added for the F1 Academy, that the public wants or maybe the personal fans for drivers of the F1 academy, for sure will be a having a place for a certain someone,

Actually, their last Calendar race is on a roll, just like the F1 race that is now in the United States and just the regular F1 we also have the F1 State United GP, and right now the Calendar is already starting, the Practice 1 was dominated by the Prema Racing driver Marta Garcia, while Practice 2 results Rodin Carlin has made a win in the Practice 2 for the last GP in the F1 Academy,

With females getting a lot more time on the academy part of the deal, I wonder when will be the next time we will end up with a female driver.

The F1 Academy is just getting started and I think this is the 1st F1 Academy there is, One of the drivers in the F1 Academy has made way for her to be seen by the McLaren team, and for sure McLaren wants Bianca Bustamante to be in their team Andrea Stella, McLaren’s Team Principal has said

“The team are delighted for Bianca to join us, and for McLaren to be involved in F1 Academy. It’s a core principle of ours to be a diverse and inclusive team, so we’re pleased to be so involved in Formula 1’s work on the important topic of improving gender diversity within motorsport. We also look forward to seeing Bianca grow and progress within the McLaren Racing Driver Development program under Emanuele’s guidance.”

so for sure we now have a female Driver getting her way inside the F1 race even though she will just be in the team's presence and will in the McLaren's Driver Development program,

Crazy qualifying.

The drivers were very close, Max got the potential pole position for 5/1000 of a second but they removed the time.


So, Ferrari in pole positon and Hamilton second. It will be interesting for few laps.

[Captain Corporate]

It is definitely nice to see Ferrari doing better, and for a change Max not being the leader as he almost always is. To be fair, Max is not the greatest qualifier, he doesn't do his best work there, but even with dying tires, he keeps the car going very well with consistent pace and usually does quite similar times every single lap, he is always way too focused and that is his power, at a very long race that they do every week, that matters a lot, but during sprint it may not be the decisive factor, lets see how he will do. I think its going to take a while and we are going to end up with something much different when the time comes, we just have to wait and see the sprint and the race, I say Max doesn't win the sprint and someone else does, but he wins the race.

Amazing! I almost forgot about the F1 Academy for sure and I was really shocked and happy at the same time seeing this article or news that our very own Bianca Bustamante will be taken by the F1 Team McLaren for me this is really great as we Filipinos now getting well known even in the F1 Community, this is really a dream come true for Bianca Bustamante as she really wants this for sure,

That is why the F1 Academy was here for females to be ready and be trained to be in the F1 I really think that this kind of separate race will be good for these girls to be ready to get aboard into F1 and for sure now that Bianca Bustamante is now in the McLaren driver program for sure she will be given training and for sure she will learn the basics and the hard part for the F1 in the McLaren,

Crazy qualifying.

I was really shocked I really thought that Max Verstappen won the Qualifying but suddenly they deleted his time so for sure Ferrari has now become the leader for this Qualifying and I really don't have any clue why the time for Verstappen got deleted, can anyone explained what happen, but we still have the Sprint and Sprint Shootout for sure,

[LTU_btc]

Not much what to say about Sprint qualifying as we don't have anything unexpected. Now waiting for Sprint Race, there is still few hours left. I hope I won't fall asleep as it will be late time here in Europe.

Better later than never. It was shame that they weren't showing races live and highlights only. Because even amateur karting races have live streams now. I have watched US GP qualifying and race as live stream was available on Youtube
As I understand, next season F1 Academy will be support even of F1 race weekend, same like F2, F2 or Porsche Carrera Cup.
