Drive to survive ratings bonanza!
How's Big Shooter doing? He ok?
The big question to me is, has Lewis not been paying attention to the Ferrari team lately? If it's not a reliability issue, it's a strategy problem. He's trading poor performance and strategy for good performance and poor strategy and poor reliability.
I think Ferrari has unquestionably been the 2nd best team in F1 these past two seasons. I mean, they have 5 race wins, a 2nd place in the constructor's, and a 3rd place(narrowly lost 2nd) in the constructors over the past two seasons. They're well behind Red Bull, yes, but I'd argue they're the best of the rest. And I think Vasseur is only going to improve Ferrari too.La Fours said:

They've made some big hirings in several departments, so maybe that's something that enticed Lewis to make the move.
What a way to provide cover the Andretti news…almost like this was all planned…
Merc finished P2 in the constructors last year.
For me it comes down to "it's the devil you know vs the devil you don't." And there's a **** load we don't know about Ferrari under Vasseur.

Must be. It for damn sure isn't because of how well Italians treat black athletes.
I'm checking in. This got interesting

Who's your pick to take the 2025 seat at Mercedes now vacated by Lewis Hamilton? 👀

Let us know who you think we could see alongside Russell in 2025! 👇#F1 pic.twitter.com/9GdwmcB91V

According to @JennaFryer the email invitation to an in-person meeting was from a FOM staff member but went into a junk folder

⚠️ | Alex Albon has reportedly been offered a 3 year contract at Red Bull Racing starting in 2025, according to Peter Windsor.

He elaborates further: "As I understand it, Albon has been offered a 3-year contract to start in 2025. So I think you're going to see him alongside Max… pic.twitter.com/5wbiRMaqQl
Would love to see him get another shot. Bad situation 1st time around
He should tell RBR to pound sand.
He did this year at Canadian GP. I think Merc is a better fit.
It’s been a crazy few days which have been filled with a whole range of emotions.

But as you all now know, after an incredible 11 years at Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, the time has come for me to start a new chapter in my life and I will be joining Scuderia Ferrari in 2025.

Since it's still a bit "early" in CST and if you are up, the F4 UAE and FRMEC (Formula Regional) Race 3 of each are starting and should be done by 1:15 AM.
Middle East gets a lot of European drivers in the winter to get ready for the European series that start in March/April so it's competitive, got very popular in the last few years. Two US drivers part of F1 Academies are in there (Ugo Ugochukwu from McLaren races at Regional level this year and Alex Powell is moving up to F4).
Doriane Pin is another one I like. She races the first 2 rounds then flew to Florida for Daytona in the GTD class and flew on Sunday back to UAE for Round 3 of this championship. She is easily a Top 2 on the F1 Academy grid this year and got signed by Mercedes as well, imo the best female driver under 21.

Twitter is starting to go nuts with the fake F1 Breaking News tweets.

Wait, is this fake?

It would be really sad if Lewis was parting ways with Roscoe as well. It appears Roscoe is ready for his turn in the W15 though.
Redbull not being left out of the news cycle:
🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Red Bull has launched an independent investigation after allegations of inappropriate behavior by team boss Christian Horner.
— RBR Daily (@RBR_Daily) February 5, 2024
The company confirmed this after questions: 'We take this very seriously."
Horner himself denies these accusations.

From the telegraaf : "Horner is said to have been guilty of inappropriate behavior, in particular towards one particular team member of Red Bull Racing. The boss of the energy drinks company, Oliver Mintzlaff, knows about the accusations and takes the accusations very seriously"

really missed the white suits, but I still prefer the shade of blue used in 2020.
Sprint race changes up … again
🚨 | BREAKING: FIA confirm 2024 Sprint Format
— formularacers (@formularacers_) February 5, 2024
FRI: Practice 1, Sprint qualifying
SAT: Sprint race, Grand Prix qualifying
SUN: Grand Prix
More info
🚨 | BREAKING: DRS will now be activated on lap 2, rather than lap 3.
— formularacers (@formularacers_) February 5, 2024
DRS will also be activated just one lap after a Safety Car restart.
Four power units will be allocated per driver in 2024.
I wish COTA didn't have a sprint race. I'd rather see a FP1 loaded of "rookies" like in 2022 when they had 5 running. Now they do Mexico City instead. With no feeder series on the bill this year's USGP is honestly looking to be the most boring one in a while unless there's a good fight in the standings.
The new format also makes me wonder how risky drivers will get on Saturday morning. Why risk totaling your car and have a DNQ that evening to start P20 on sunday.

Its all over social media from known journalists. New rumor is being floated that he is being advised to resign.....
Yep. This is either a giant misunderstanding or Formula 1 is getting its second massive shocker in less than a week.
All the Andretti/Cadillac news has completely disappeared.....
its not even 5 full days into February and we have:
- F1 not accepting Andretti
- Lewis moving to Ferrari in 2025
- Christian Horner & RBR under internal investigation
- Singapore GP being investigated for corruption *** I haven't seen this one yet....

🚨 As per @AP the complaint against Christian Horner is allegedly about his aggressive management style
