Unfortunate Leclerc lost the lead in the championship, huge distance in front and the car breaks down. I don't know what happened or if it was heat related. Mercedes-AMG cars had their overheating problems, but the pilots still managed to get good final positions.

Not looking good for Ferrari...

As ever...

I must say,the only two People in the Past who constantly "kicked" Ferrari in the Ass to evolve / progress a Car over a Season (or more) were Niki Lauda and Michael Schumacher....

It's F1 at Montreal, this week end, on Father's day

Now it is clear,why Verstappen has a Contract with Red Bull until 2028.

Next Week,the VW Group (Audi and Porsche are Subsidiaries) will finally give Green Light for Formula 1 Entry in 2026.

Reb Bull with Porsche (they have a 10 Year "Plan")


...it will then probably be called from 2026....


That also means for Mercedes to "dress warmly"....

As predicted:

Porsche buys 50 percent of Red Bull

Background: Porsche AG and Red Bull GmbH have to report their joint project to the antitrust authorities - also in 20 countries outside Europe. In Morocco, such an application is subject to the obligation to publish, which means that the deal, which has been kept secret for a long time, has probably finally been fixed.

Should be "Porsche set to buy 50..." but otherwise a good post.

Let's hope this happens. Just imagine the let down if, after all the hype, after all the waiting, after all the announcements of pending announcements about announcements that will be happening soon, we end up going into 2026 with the same 3.5 engine manufacturers!

It would be nice to see porsche in F1. Are they gonna build a new powertrain? Or rebrand the Honda engine...

Since the current engines are frozen and there are going to be new PU regulations for 2025, chances are we will see new powertrains, or at least heavily developed from the current base.

Technically this is wrong they are not buying Redbull F1 if you read the documents released by Morocco’s Conseil de la Concurrence (Competition Council) they show Porsche is in the process of buying 50% of the shares in Red Bull Technology, which manufacturers the F1 team’s chassis. Not actually Redbull F1

In saying that the scope of a final deal is likely to go much further than this, and include Red Bull’s junior team AlphaTauri which is also supplied by its technology division. In the future Redbull F1 team will still remain 100% owned by Dietrich Mateschitz/Redbull

The information was vague, I even wondered if they were getting 50% of Red Bull Racing or 50% of Red Bull overall. So it's not even 50% of Red Bull Racing. I'm a big fan of Porsche's logo (I know, a weird thing to enjoy in the middle of all this) and I'll enjoy seeing it during the races. I'm expecting Porsche to take over the responsibility of the power unit. I'm also expecting to see Audi in there.

In other recent news, Sebastian Vettel will retire from Formula 1 at the end of the season. I must say I missed his golden years, but he's still a positive presence in the track and through his activism.

 

[zxr750j]

I'll miss Vettel, he has got humor (for a german)

 

[Alexander1970]

It says clearly:

Wie die Kartellbehörde des nordafrikanischen Staates veröffentlichte, will Porsche große Anteile an Red Bull Technology übernehmen.

As the North African state's antitrust authority published, Porsche wants to take over large shares in Red Bull Technology.

That's what I said Red Bull Technology is an entirely separate company from Red Bull Racing. Porsche are buying 50% of Red Bull Technology and as Red Bull Technology own the AlphaTauri team its clear that AlphaTauri will become Porsche F1. Red Bull Racing will continue to be 100% owned by Redbull but will probably end up with a Porsche engine in them. I know to some it may seem confusing but its really not lol.

 

[Dark_Phoras]

@AmandaRose will Porsche get their own team and compete as Porsche in the place of Alpha Tauri, while also supplying the engine to Red Bull?

Lewis ain't going anywhere until he gets that 8th world title. If last season had not been fixed by the race director for Max to win then Lewis would already be retired I believe.
