    That's a wrap folks! McLaren take their 1st F1 'Constructors Title' in 26 years! What an incredible season and comeback for McLaren, and boy, was it close with them and Ferrari, coming down to the last race where every lap counted! Ferrari were so close, with Leclerc managing to go from 19th on the grid to finish 3rd, with a once-in-a-lifetime 1st lap getting from 19th to 8th by the end of lap one, Charles and Sainz gave it everything they had to try and take the title from McLaren! We had antics from the outset, with, yes, you guessed it, Max Verstappen taking out Piastri in the first corner. Both drivers recovered, with Piastri falling to dead last and having to climb back to the points, taking a penalty on the way for hitting Colapinto. It didn't matter in the end for McLaren, who just needed Norris to win to keep Ferrari at bay. Norris drove a perfect race from pole position to take another awesome win this year, and to be fair, most of the teams seemed to have a pretty good race in terms of strategy. Lewis Hamilton signed off after 12 years with the Mercedes F1 team with a storming drive coming from 16th to 4th, overtaking his team-mate Russell in the last few corners, with the pair running inverted tyre strategies leaving Hamilton on faster tyres towards the end. Poor old Perez didn't make it through the first lap, with a hectic move by Magnussen resulting in Bottas spinning Perez. The rumours are very much pointing to this being Perez's last race with RedBull Racing. I do believe that had their PR not been so damaged this year with Christian Horner's sexting scandal, Adrian Newey leaving, and fallouts between Horner and Jos Verstappen, RedBull would've dropped Perez earlier on, but they had to be the nice guys to help rebuild their shattered PR image. We heard that the Williams reserve driver Colapinto was going to RedBull, but several crashes seemed to have killed that rumour. Will it be Lawson? Who is leaving F1? We say goodbye to Bottas, who has not been offered a place at Sauber (soon to become Audi) next year, he is rumoured to be going back to Mercedes as a reserve driver. Kevin Magnussen left Haas and F1 after making a comeback for the last few seasons. What an awesome season, especially the 2nd half, where McLaren and Ferrari have really brought the fight to RedBull. Sypathies to Russell and Hamilton who haven't had the car to really deliver. At least Mercedes can't screw Hamilton over in qualifying or race with terrible strategies any more. Phew! Here's looking forwards to next year and next season, when we'll see Hamilton in scarlet red, and enjoy the last year of the current regulations. Will Norris take his 1st title?

    • McLaren win the F1 Constructors Championship for 2024, image shows Zak Brown and Lando Norris celebrating their Constructors Title and race win at the final race in Abu Dhabi December 2024
  • Did he do it? Yes he did! What do you think? Max Verstappen wins his 4th world championship in the F1 race in Las Vegas this weekend, in what proved to be a class race! Max needed to finish ahead of Lando Norris in this race to clinch his 4th Championship, and he did it, taking 5th place overall, which was enough to clinch the title!! Geroge Russell started from pole and took 1st place, largely in a race on his own, while his team mate Lewis Hamilton had a storming drive from 10th to take 2nd place. Overall a really great recovery weekend for Mercedes. Ferrari kept the Constructors title alive this weekend in a 3 way battle between RedBull, McLaren and Ferrari with Sainz and Leclerc taking 3rd and 4th. What an awesome race, huge amount of action, how did you find the race? #formulaone #verstappen #f1 #championship Fred Andrea Enjoy our sponsors: StrategyFred: Helping SME owners exit 7Q Ltd: High Performance Transformation CREATIVE in TiME: Digital Marketing Partnerships

    It's time for VEGAS!!! What do you reckon will happen? That's right folks... one for the 'Bucket List', Formula One (F1) is in Las Vegas this weekend! Will Max be a 4 times world champion this weekend? So far, Lewis Hamilton has looked racy in P1 and P2. Maybe Toto Wolff has stopped turning the engine down after Lewis pretty much said he doesn't want to drive their car anymore after an awful Brazil! I can't help but feel there has been a bit of a conspiracy internally at Mercedes this year after his announcement to move to Ferrari; Lewis has out-qualified all teammates, including Alonso, Button, Rosberg, Bottas and Russell, EXCEPT for the year he is going to Ferrari??? Max, who blasted from 17th to 1st in the wet and stormy Brazilian grand prix, has wrapped things up, in no small part due to his talent and aggression (the subject of much talk), and also in part due to strategic errors made by McLaren this season, who have had the fastest car for the second half, and failed to ensure they took Max's crown. Anyway, tune in for an exciting weekend, what are you looking forwards to?

    🏁 F1 Mexican Grand Prix Recap: Sainz Takes the Win, Penalties for Max 🇲🇽 What a race in Mexico yesterday! Carlos Sainz put on a solid performance to grab the win for Ferrari, while Lando Norris fought hard to take second place. Max Verstappen, though, had a rough one ( 😁 yay). After some pretty questionable moves in his battle with Norris, he ended up with two 10-second penalties that pushed him down to sixth. Not the best day for the soon-to-be champ (I know, but it's too late now), but it was refreshing to see him held accountable for once, even if he doesn't ever take accountability. McLaren will have come so close, but ultimately need to take a long hard look at themselves for not maximising all chances of taking the drivers championship, which means everything to the fans and the media!

  • It's back!! What a wait... Sunday's F1 Grand Prix is what we've been waiting for... Will Max have a fast enough car to win? Will Leclerc get a late season boost? Will Norris & Piastri trip over each other? Will Mercedes be relevant or somewhere in the pack? There'll be no Daniel Ricciardo, he's been replaced by Liam Lawson for the remainder of the season. And what about the rest, will there be any surprises from the midfield? 8pm on Sunday if you are watching LIVE.

    Ricciardo is OUT of RB, Liam Lawson is IN for the remainder of the season. RB have confirmed the very open rumours that last week's Singapore race was to be Daniel Ricciardo's last race for RB as Liam Lawson takes his seat. The rumour mill has been surprisingly accurate this season. There are many opinions on WHY, but the most logical rumour seems to be that Liam Lawsons contract will allow him to separate from Red Bull if he doesn't drive for the rest of the season. So, Red Bull had to face dropping Ricciardo, or losing Lawson permanently to another team. Most people are certain that the original intention was for Ricciardo to earn a seat back alongside Max, but his performances just don't match his former 'honey badger' reputation anymore. Sad days for one of the smiliest and most charismatic faces on the grid, but... Ricciardo WILL become a face of F1, either for Red Bull in ambassadorial roles, or be snapped up by a TV channel to commentate on it. This won't be the last we'll see!

    Norris SHINES with a commanding win at the Singapore 2024 F1 Grand Prix, whilst Hamilton gets SCREWED by his own team, Mercedes. McLaren continued to dominate F1 this weekend with a commanding pole position and win for Lando Norris, who, despite nearly binning his car 2-3 times with minor mistakes, made it back to be a well-deserving, if a little lucky, winner. Lando has reignited his potential championship chances vs Verstappen, but I can't help feel those 7 points forcibly given to Piastri earlier in the season will come back to haunt them. Verstappen only needs to finish 2nd to Norris in every race to remain champion. A tall order if ever there was one. McLaren are supporting Norris' title bid now, but is it a bit too little, too late? Lewis Hamilton, who started in P3, got royally screwed by his own team, Mercedes, bizarrely decided to start him on a different strategy to everyone else, using soft on the grid, meaning he had to pit early. If that wasn't bad enough, they prioritised his teammate George Russell by pitting Hamilton even earlier as they felt he was holding George up. This dumped Hamilton into slow moving traffic, meaning that he couldn't even perform the 'undercut', using newer tyres to get in front of his rivals, let alone maintain position. I can't help but feel Toto and Mercedes are covertly sabotaging Hamilton to favour Russell, wanting Russell to outperform and ensure Hamilton leaves their team a beaten and underperforming driver. A sad goodbye for so many years of success together. For me, as a Hamilton fan, I think his last race with Mercedes can't come soon enough! George pitted 10-12 laps later and came out in front of Lewis on newer tyres, having been behind Lewis before any pits. There was no overcut, Hamilton got screwed. I'm really pleased for Lando that he's got that win, and when given free air, Lando is clearly a very talented driver in race trim. Whilst Verstappen took a 2nd place that was largely as much as he could do, Piastri, the 2nd McLaren driver managed only 3rd from starting 5th. Can't help feel that McLaren played Piastris strategy wrong too, waiting behind Russell until he pitted and then running him long, leaving him too much time to make up. I think McLaren could have pulled the undercut earlier on Russell and gone after Verstappen with time to spare. Leclerc in the Ferrari had a great race, starting 9th and making a long first stint work to overtake Hamilton on old tyres, and was within touching distance of Russell at the end. #F1 #singapore #norris #hamilton #mclaren #mercedes Our sponsors, please visit!

  • Perez sees RED as McLaren bounce back! Perez has a miserable end to the Azerbaijan F1 Grand Prix in Baku on Sunday. After putting in an admirable and above normal performance to stay close to Piastri and Leclerc for much of the 2nd half of the race, Perez day came to a rather miserable end when himself and Sainz collided at the end of the race, taking them both out. After making a move on Leclerc to take second, and not pulling it off, Perez lost his third place to Sainz after he went deep and didn't pull off the overtake. After so much hard work, he'd lost a place near the end. He saw red, he was going backwards not forwards! Sticking with Sainz, they were on a race down to the next corner, Sainz ahead and moving gradually to the centre of the track, Perez wanted to squeeze Sainz back to the outside to maximise his chances of winning 3rd place back, Perez held his line despite being behind Sainz, and ended up clipping his front wheel to Sainz rear wheel. What a shame... In the meantime, Piastri drove a storming race, take the lead from Leclerc in the 2nd stint and then resisting constant pressure for what must have been almost 30 laps to take the win! A great day. Norris, who started in P15, managed to finish 4th thanks to Perez and Sainz taking themselves out of the race. Whilst Perez felt Sainz was to blame, as the car chasing, he didn't work with the ebb and flow of the racing car in front, and ultimately paid a heavy price!

  • Adrian Newey to Aston Martin! But WHY? Imagine you are Lawrence Stroll. You have picked up an F1 team (then called 'Force India') for a snip. You've bailed out the Aston Martin car company and franchise with a view to turning it around. The value of F1 is rocketing into hyperspace thanks to Netflix and Liberty Media, the future is bright, very bright. You have the potential to build a huge multi-billion dollar brand, and satisfy your investors, who've you've assured will see a healthy return. After several years of trying, your F1 car sucks, and you can't blame the engine supplier, Mercedes, because McLaren are winning with the same engine. You need a plan. You need to convince your investors that you will succeed. The investors need to see the 'right person' leading the technical side. Adrian Newey is available and planning to go to Ferrari, BUT, you can outbid them, you can be more flexible, you don't have a 'this is our way, you join or you don't' like Ferrari do. You can do this. You stand to benefit £multi billions. Adrian is happy to take £30m a year in exchange for helping you achieve your goal. It's a deal, it's a snip, it's the 'Sale of the F$$kin Century' (Guy Richie). What a great change to see unfolding in F1!

    • STACKS fS
Adrian Newey to Aston Martin, WHY?

You are building Aston to be a glorious sports car brand.
    • The ROI (return on investment) for both your F1 team and Sports cars from a having a successful F1 team are is in the $Billions.
    • But, your F1 car sucks, you’ve become one of the slowest teams with a Mercedes engine.
    • You have to convince your investors you have a plan, and you need that plan to work.
