Lol, you probably said that in the 2023 thread but I forgot. And going to 11-20 would make an absolute mess of my spreadsheet

I still think we should change the point system. Getting 4pts for picking Max P1 shouldn't be the same as getting Hamilton right at P10.

I like the Sauber...though it makes me think they just left the green aerodynamic testing paint on too long and it dried. I also gets hints of Tron and the Dallas Stars turnout coat jerseys.

Do we know why RB is investigating Horner? Seems odd to announce something like that.

Rumours are that it involves acting inappropriately to a female staffer.

I like thr rules the way they are. The drivers actually get standings points for 1-10, so imo it makes sense to draw the line there.

And everyone gets the same 4 points for picking max to win. The problem with making first worth less points is that it punishes someone who take a risk on predicting a non-max victory and is correct because they don't get as much of a leg up on everyone else.

This Horner saga is wild. All rumours but lots of juicy gossip circulating.

The behaviour was allegedly not sexual in nature and instead apparently stems from Horner being too controlling.

Meanwhile there are rumours it’s a borderline coup orchestrated by renowned wife beater, child abuser and all around psychopath Jos Vertappen possibly with the support of Helmut Marko.

Either way it sounds like he’s on the outs with red bull. Not only that but apparently him and Newey have clauses that if one leaves, the other has an out in their contract to leave too.

Wonder if all this RB usurping has to do with incoming Audi.

This would make things very interesting if true. Would have no shortage of suitors.

This story could then go into a tailspin because, according to well-informed British F1 journalist, Joe Saward, it is said that Christian Horner and Adrian Newey have contracts at the team that protect each other. If one leaves the team, so could the other.

If Horner/Newey went elsewhere I wonder if they'd be able to get equity. You'd have to think there'd be multiple suitors, and Horner seems like the type of guy who would be pissed that Wolff is much richer than him/has an ownership stake in a team.

It’s much better than all the carbon liveries we’ve seen so far

The Bahrain GP, Saudi Arabian GP and Vegas GP are on Saturday's this year.

Should we change the rule for entries for these races to being due by Thursday 11:59 PM MST?
