F1 - 2025 Season
- Thread starter FrankTGucker
- Start date
Merc started to figure something out after the "mid" season break last year. Should be more competitive this year.
Are Merc replacing the stupid sidepods or will ZEE CHERMANS remain stubborn in their rightness (to be fair, they usually end up being right)

Agreed on the competitiveness factor, certainly hope so.
In no particular order, here’s what I’m looking forward to:
Can Ferrari and Leclerc challenge RB and Max
If RB is challenged will the situation between the two drivers blow up
Will Russell beat Lewis again and cement his status as Merc’s #1
Alonzo the God at Aston. A lot of investment being made in that team, will they improve or will the situation blow up and become a disaster
How glorious will Bottas’s mullet get
Speaking of glorious, is the Gulf livery making a comeback
How will the rookies do? Which will perform best
Vegas night race
The two frenchmen on the french team bumping heads
Can McLaren improve or will the car still be a tractor
Nice to see an American backed team in F1.
Need to find the next Mario, F1 champ.
Not much has changed.
Red Bull looks best. Ferrari is still pretty good. Merc still isn’t good. Aston might’ve made a step. Mclaren looks like 💩

El Plan?
Horner said the Aston isn’t far off them and Merc and Ferrari have admitted it’s extremely close, if not better, on race runs.

From what I’ve seen Alonso looks like he could legit hang with Sergio tomorrow.
I'm not yet convinced everyone is showing their full pace. The Haas up there so close is a little suspicious.
Read Alpine is really sandbagging. We’ll see.
Sounds like Ferrari is having some back wing issues
Ferrari is ****ed. But I think Mercedes has more to show, and Red Bull hasn't played all their cards.
Alonso, if he's up there, is going to become all the Max fanbois Public Enemy #1 once he punts Max about 5 times.
That'd be OK with me. Honestly, I could see Max winning 16 races this season. I think it's going to be a romp. Unless Mercedes is hiding something I don't see anyone challenging. I'm not buying into the Aston Martin thing yet.
Merc ain't hiding anything other than their failures. They're probably waiting for the new engine regs and confusion in 2025
I think their engine is fine (look at AM) but the aero design is flawed and they keep trying to make it work. should have shelved it last yar and started over but alas no
They seem to have gone balls deep into the no sidepod design. Surprised they doubled down on in this past offseason
Good to see Aston is truly in the mix. Hopefully Aston and Merc can mix it up with Ferrari this year.
I think Merc are purposefully sacrificing one lap pace for race pace
The “anti” Ferrari
