The Formula 1 Thread 🏎

The Frenchman will be replaced by New Zealander Liam Lawson, who normally races for Red Bull’s second team Racing Bulls.

Lawson’s replacement will be Japan’s Yuki Tsunoda, Red Bull’s reserve driver, who was dropped from the leading team at the end of last season.

Red Bull have not officially announced either move, with their official guidance only that Hadjar is “likely” to miss the race.

However, the situation has been confirmed to BBC Sport by a source close to the team.

Red Bull have not yet revealed any details about Hadjar’s injury, but he is understood to have broken his hand while boxing.

Could just be Andrew Benson jumping the rumour mill gun again… waiting for the official big BREAKING banner post.

And there it is…

Yuki! Yuki! Yuki!

What a race, I actually enjoyed it, Hulk for the win with the reaction time, Im really impressed how the guys avoided the accident scenes. Some great overtakes when they happened (I like the track but wont miss it that much in the future)

And goooooooooo Lando - was really impressed with him, he just kept his head down. Especially in a car that I still feel like isnt 100%

What a monza race - the overtakes was brilliant, felt bad for Charles, Gasley did well to hold out as long as he did.

Kimi deserved that win, not sure where Lando was the whole race

I’m still not convinced by it. That said, I had similar initial misgivings about Las Vegas and that turned out to be a pretty decent circuit. Guess we’ll see in a couple of days time.

Also,

Welcome to the Red Bull family, Robin Räikkönen. One of the most promising young talents of his generation, the young Finn will become part of our driver development programme from 2027.

Bwoah!

Williams did a thing for “El Matador”…

Sadly, it’s just a promo suit. The actual race suit is a special one, but not nearly as special as that.

I saw that! It is amazing that the Kimi clone is already a junior! It feels like last year that he got on his first bike

Official circuit layout.

Trophy looks neat. Reflects the curve and banking of La Monumental and has the circuit outline as its shape.

Not really a fan, my wife is, she showed me the track, its got more twists than an episode of The Bold And The Beautiful.

And what a dissapointing race

Mclaren threw away the win, but then I also still think even if he pitted with the rest he would have lost the spot. P3 was realistic. That qualy lap though was special.

2027 calendar is out. 24 races. 10 Sprint weekends, one of which is Monaco??!!

Everything you need to know about the 2027 Formula 1 calendar

“Pre-season testing will take place in Bahrain from 24–27 February before the Championship returns there for the first race, followed by Saudi Arabia.”

Some dumb war thing might have a word to say about that… Still waiting to hear about whether they’re going to risk Qatar and Abu Dhabi for the end of November and first week of December.
