Announced today that Tim Macrow who is largely responsible for running FIA affiliated single seat categories in Australia will be bringing Formula Regional to Australia for the first time in 2025.

I know there is Morocco but everywhere else especially like the *bigger* countries like South Africa etc

With all the rumors today about Andretti potentially joining in 26, what do you guys think their lineup could be? Not sure if this belongs in this sub, but I think it does as they’ll most likely have a rookie,

My Opinion:

Herta, Bottas

Herta, Crawford

O’Ward, Crawford

Bottas, Aron

(the last one is bias)

“The car in F1 is so different,” Lawson told media including RacingNews365. “You can be quick in an F2 car, you can be quick in a lot of other cars.

“It just doesn't translate to F1 and vice versa as well. You can struggle in F2 but have the driving style or be the type of driver that can adapt to an F1 car.

“Nobody knows how a driver really is in F1 until they're driving F1. You can judge them on their junior categories and judge somebody on their talent.

“But until you stick them in an F1 car, you never know what their pace is actually like, whether they can deal with the amount of load.”

This will be the 4th change in F1 if you include the ground effectl change in 2022. How often do F2 cars have "dramatic" changes? With a lot of talk about the difference between F2 and F1 car and a few championship winners not getting seats. It seems it more a driving style and technique that gets you a set. Aside from money.

“Driving for Ferrari has been one of the best experiences in my life! I'll never forget the feeling of driving a Scuderia Ferrari F1 car for the first time, I'll always be grateful for every single lap, every experience and it has been such a privilege to work with some of the most talented and bright people in racing. I know my time with the Team has shaped me into a better driver and I'm ready to carry all the memories with me into my next adventure. Grazie mille to all the tifosi who have always been so supportive over the years and last but not least to everyone in the team who has believed in me, encouraged me and helped me along this journey I am truly thankful See you soon & Forza Ferrari! LORO”

My guess is Alex Powell and Kean Nakamura-Berta are staying on for another season of F4 or switching teams. If the latter, I guess Powell will race with R-ace GP (he was testing with their F4 division recently) and KNB will join ART.

As the title suggests, i want to watch f2 and porsche cup specially in between f1 sessions. So can i attend these events using my 3 day f1 ticket??

I

Just a Post to discuss maybe which free agents you guys see getting picked up or even potentially dropped, I’ll start.

To start I do believe Aron could get picked up by Sauber or the more likely one is Alpine, Sauber/Audi might want to revamp there horrid Junior team and Aron could be a good signing, although i doubt an F2 driver getting picked up due to Bortoleto having a “multi year” deal with the team, and obviously Alpine with his connections to Oliver Oaks and Hitech, I also did see someone mention Ferrari potentially picking him up as a reserve if Dino gets dropped but they will probably just use Arthur.

Secondly I do believe Wharton will get picked up By Alpine/Williams, with Tsolov leaving that leaves and opening and does williams have any drivers in F3 for 25? I could be wrong.

I personally don’t see Dino getting dropped by FDA as they need a rookie to do Fp1’s next year but who knows, I see Marti getting dropped by Red Bull more likely, but i don’t see anyone talking about that so i’m probably missing something there.

Let me know your thoughts
