Tsolov got held up by backmarkers at the final corner

I hear he was very good in his junior career with Nico Rosberg having a poster of him in his bedroom and calling him the best in Karts and Alonso calling him an incredible talent. But he only ever had a season in F1 before going down to GP2 and winning it in 2008

Would Ricciardo had stayed with Alpine? Would Lundgaard have been given a chance? Would Piastri have not fallen out with the team? Would Drugovich have been given a chance?

With Toyota most likely taking over from Haas fully one day and Cadillac building their own engines soon, where do Ferrari put their future academy drivers on the grid? I’m guessing they get a team to supply engines to.

From being one of the most up and coming talents in the paddock to being stuck in the midfield, what has happened to Brad Binder? Last win - 2021, last podium - 2024. Those he move to a new team like Tech3 or move to another championship like WSBK?

Would Lewis have won and later win the championship, would Nico have won or would Max somehow still win

Would he have won another championship?

How would things have gone? Different champions? Driver transfers? Different outcomes?
