That was fun, think I'll watch more of the cup series. Hope Kimi does some more races. Too bad his teammate screwing up is what took him out

McLaren will be in deep if the contract ruling doesn't go their way. What a mess.

From everything I've read on the piastri thing, Apline held out too long and somehow missed the expiration date of their agreement by like a day or something like that.

I can't imagine Piastri or Mark Webber hamfisting this. I can however, see Alpine being totally oblivious to any given thing on any given day. They're French car makers. That's what they do.

Here comes Audi

https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/a...ooms/10356808/

Quote:
But amid growing indications that confirmation of their intentions for 2026 is now imminent, Audi may be the first to reveal its plans and could do so as early as this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix.

After months of discussions to sort out a partner team, it is understood that an agreement is now in place between Audi and the Sauber team, which currently competes under the Alfa Romeo moniker.
Quote:
Discussions have now advanced with Sauber, after its owner Finn Rausing previously rejected an offer from Michael Andretti to sell the team for 350 million euro at the end of 2021.

It was suggested that Rausing insisted on the continued existence of the Sauber Group at the Hinwil site and the preservation of jobs, and also demanded a further 250 million euro as a contribution to the team in order to be sure the team was in safe hands.

In the end, Andretti walked away because of terms it could not accept.
Quote:
There is also the promise to further develop Sauber as a factory team, very similar to how the Sauber-BMW partnership worked between 2006 and 2009.

It's interesting to note that current Audi CEO Markus Duesmann, who has pushed the brand's F1 entry, was head of development at the BMW-Sauber team between 2007 and 2009 and still knows the Hinwil operation from back then.

I was really hoping one of Porsche or Audi would come in as a works team, but also knew that was not very likely. I do like knowing that we could have a legitimate top 4 battling out for wins.
