neonfox65 why on earth did you drop an Alonso photo in a Vettel thread? 🤷

My mom's generation is absolutely losing their minds because the best just arrived at Ford...

Nothing new there... just look at the old threads. 😁
I play exactly like this every single tournament. 😉

Barely scraped through the group stage 😂
Honestly, they would’ve cruised through even if it was one massive group where only the top two advanced🤣

Look, I have zero clue how accurate that number actually is. Honestly, I don't even get where USA Today pulled that figure from 🤷
But hey, that's what they're reporting...

Who is he even trying to justify himself to?🤣
Honestly, isn't it a little childish and just plain ridiculous for a driver of his stature to be bickering with his former boss in the papers and leaking old emails? 🤣
I don't know, calling it "childish" might be an understatement... I’d say it feels more like those emails contain something incriminating. It's probably a warning to Matijač to quit playing games before things get ugly. 😁

I'm with you on that one...
I'd say Ross isn't even in the running; it’s probably just some journalist rambling in the paddock...

But this bit in today's The Evening News is actually interesting—apparently, Vettel's contract is sitting at a massive 63 million euros a season. 😲
Alonso's probably losing his mind if that's actually true, because it would mean Vettel's paycheck is basically three times his own. 😁

To little comment about how he’s got a mountain of Matijač's emails sitting on his computer doesn't sound ominous to you? 😬
To me, it sounds a lot more like "Matijač, shut up or I'm leaking everything." 🤣

I'm honestly just sitting here waiting for Matijač's next statement so we can finally see those "concrete" emails. 😍

Tyler Bennett5 said:Is tomorrow basically Mattia Mattia's last race sitting in the Ferrari garage?

Word on the street is...
Sky Sports was hinting he’s out because Ross Brawn is coming back, though I wouldn't hold my breath on that one...

It’s happening. It’s finally happening. 🤣

...tons of emails still sitting on my hard drive...

I'm dying to know when those emails actually hit the news outlets.🤣
And who knows, maybe they'll end up in someone else's inbox too, not just the reporters.🍿

Hey 😁

Valtteri Bottas - Felipe Massa

And he’s joining them in the red car with number 5 next season 😬

Just sitting here thinking...
If they actually added a third car to the grid and shoved Kamui Kobayashi in there, by some weird miracle, I’d probably end up rooting for all three of them at once...
God help me, I might actually love that lineup 🤣

Great. Now we’re just sitting here waiting for Dennis Rodman to announce his driver lineup for next season is Jenson Button and Kevin Magnussen. 🍿

Well, the breakup is official...

He insisted that Ferrari was in The team's Best interests as well as his own.

"I also proved to be a true team-player, putting the interests of the Scuderia before my own," said Fernando Alonso.

"When I had to take important decisions about my future, i did sol with Ferrari in my Heart, driven by my love for the team."

Huh. Pretty weird thing to say. Not really clear what he means by his leaving being "best for the team"...

Hamilton - Hamilton
Verstappen Vettel
Schumacher Kevin Magnussen

swifttiger75 said:Tibi, you actually managed to talk yourself straight into the finals with that prediction! Congrats. 👍

Jessica Ramos12 and I are heading out for a beer.

If I’m reading the rules correctly, our score is actually 5:2.
But according to my math, it's 2:2...

So, what’s actually new here?
Honestly, these head-to-head matchups have always been a total mess, regardless of the series...
It’s the same script every single season: everyone drops their qualifying predictions right on schedule, then we get hit with this whole driver duel nonsense and everything just goes completely sideways.

Alonso says there's life after Ferrari...

I’ve been thinking about this lately, and honestly, I can't think of a single driver who actually snagged a title after leaving Ferrari...
I mean, maybe they did back in the day—surely Alain Prost and Nigel Mansell managed it—but in the last 20 years? Nothing.

So, what's the deal with that now? 🤷
So, am I actually supposed to follow up on my own offer or what?

If I absolutely have to, here's my take:
Nico Rosberg Lewis Hamilton
Sergio Perez Nico Hulkenberg
Ricciardo Valtteri Bottas
