Alfa Romeo ditches Orlen for a crypto casino scam and Orlen moves to AlphaTauri. Maybe we'll see a red and blue AT?

And Kubica is leaving F1 for good with 99 races in the end.

can't Orlen demand him to be attached to the team as a tie in condition for the sponsorship agreement?

Yes but if the team doesnt accept that Orlen can either not sponsor the team or ditch Kubica.

He´s 38 years old. It´s time for his F1 retirement anyway.

Lewis is only one month younger

what disappoints me more about Kubica is the lost potential, he was destined to be one of the anti-Vettels from the early 2010's

But Lewis has still shown some good results in the past years.

Of course you're right. I think altogether it was a good decision to retire and Robert can now focus on other projects.

From other news - apparently this new Alfa Romeo title sponsor will pay 30mln per season (Orlen used to pay around 10mln). Alfa will probably have it's own Rokit/Rich Energy. Hope they have good lawyers

That colour combo could go quite well.

I think rather previous Arrows when talking about red and blue livery.

Ford has been talked about, but seems like a huge missed opportunity for Honda

Can't find a more suitable thread for this, but it's 2023 and pretty random... this guy kept popping up in my Instagram feed with his bike-engined single seater and 'abandoned' F1 cars. It looks like he found that long-ago-posted graveyard of old F1 replicas and bought a few:

Could have given us some interesting background to those cars, seeing as they have been doing the rounds on the internet for over a decade with no real information, but no, it's the 2020s so he's grifting people into thinking they are 'real F1' and that he has a working one that is definitely not fibreglass over a tube chassis with a bike engine...

Some people have tried to call him out on the obvious bullshit, but he either ignores them or claims they don't know anything about F1 :slaphead:

let's see if he'll ignore Ferrari's lawyers

Sauber has announced that Audi has bought a piece of them.

Are they coming up with "shocking breaking news" that surprises nobody every 6 months until 2026? Just so the fans don´t forget they exist?

Funnily enough, that Fred Cars guy actually had his 'Ferrari' painted up like a C12 previously...
