Seen the rumors also but I don't see either LeClerc or Hamilton playing second bitch, definitely a recipe for disaster and a repeat of the Hamilton vs Nico Rosberg fiasco... imo I don't see Ferrari putting themselves in that situation.

It's not a rumor, Ferrari and Mercedes have both confirmed yesterday that LH is moving to Ferrari in 2025 on a multi-year contract, activating a release-clause in his current Mercedes contract. I guess Ferrari wants his expertise to build and develop the 2025 regulation car.

Tbh, I did not expect that. I would have thought LH is going to stay with Mercedes until his retirement.

Though not a fan of Lewis, I do think he's got balls going to Ferrari. But Ferrari is about the brand, Lewis (thinks) he is a brand on his own. Curious how this pans out!

I hope Charles steps up and affirms his number one place on the track. I like Charles, Lando, Fernando and Daniel the most (maybe add Gasley).

Carlos Sainz will miss this weekend's race due to an appendix issue.

Am rooting for the dude coz he deserves that Ferrari seat more than Hamilton. I want Sainz to outperform my dude Le Clerc as a big fuck you to Ferrari management.

As a Tiffosi for life I say Fuck Scuderia.

Hope he recovers from appendix surgery asap.

'Smooth Operator' gets an amazing F1 win after appendix surgery.

Ha! Take that Verstappen!

Anyone else ecstatic over Carlos Sainz leading a Ferrari's one-two win?
Remember when I said Sainz should show Ferrari and Hamilton the middle finger for dissing him over a 2025 seat?...Thats how to do it Carlos...Bravo!

Adrian Newey moving to Scuderia Ferrari, awesome.

Well, that's not yet confirmed. All we know is that he is leaving Red Bull.

As he publicy already ruled out joining Aston Martin and has also stated in the past that he would regret never having worked for Ferrari, it could be a very real possibility.

It will be interesting to see how this affects further personell decissions at the team. Might we see a chain reaction triggering Max Verstappen's contract exit clause? With Lewis Hamilton joining Ferrari Next Season and Charles Leclerc in their other car, where could Max go? I am not sure if he and Mercedes would be a good fit, seeing how poorly Mercedes performed the last 2 seasons.

    the legal drinking age here in the US is 21, as some of you may know, but i think either it should be 18 or the age you're an adult should be 21.

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"
    first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states
     +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also my reasoning for adult age being 21 is because the reason that's the drinking (and now smoking) age is because it "gives them more time to think rationally and not drive drunk"
    so you should have that extra time to mature and think rationally before going to serve in the military or vote

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    tl;dr the "adult" age and the legal drinking age (and voting age) here in the US should be the same

    What about making kids wait till 18 or 21 to drive? And yea is messed up, you can join army and die for your country at age 18, but you can't drink alcohol or smoke a cig til 21, is ridiculous

    If someone is in the military they should be allowed to smoke and drink at 18.... Would help drive recruitment lol

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We all know they do and will anyways. I think laws prevented them only pushes them to illegally do it. Even tho if was legal, most prob wouldn't even bother. Not a big deal or risque if its legal, no fun.

    That's why some kids don't mind having a rap sheet or two just so they never get drafted

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also, i think the voting age should match the adult and drinking ages too, because by the logic of giving them time to mature and think rationally so they don't drive drunk, then they should also have that time to mature and think rationally so they can think for themselves
