Can Ferrari fight for the championship with their massive planned engine upgrades in Spa (in 6 races)?

Thoughts on this podium?

Ik super late post, but personally it was a great moment to enjoy. Kimi's first win, Hamilton 's first podium with Ferrari, it sure was a fun race!

Who would you rank higher between these two?

(for some reason this community doesn't allow images anymore?)

In your honest opinion, who would you rank higher?

Bottas is an overall better second driver with more better performance, e.g. 2017 Baku/2021 Monza, but at the same time he was driving a much better car

According to data, Perez's performance is definitely worse than Bottas and basically ruined his own career in his final year in redbull, but he also has execellent performances with a less dominated car, e.g. 2020 sakir and 2021 abu dhabi's defence on Hamilton

How bad was Doohan’s stint in 2025 (and yas marina 2024)

I think if we removed the fact that there was money behind Colapinto compared to Doohan, he would had a pretty good chance of keeping a seat for the year? I also think he’s better than some people think, and if he didn’t have that stress of the contract he was give at alpine he would’ve done better my guess. He wasn’t to crash prone iirc
He had moments of pace, even in his second qualifying of his career in Melbourne but it was stop by a Ferrari spinning iirc. Nearly reached q3 in Bahrain but the car was quick that day. Etc what do you guys think

There are reports saying FIA could force redbull to sell Racing bulls, will that be BYD's way to F1 ? And is there any chances of Christian horner being at the helm of the project, given the circumstances.

Drivers considered bad just for being unpopular(outside of Norris and Russell)

I say outside of Norris and Russell because despite being controversial they still have their fans, I mean drivers that are truly considered bad by most.

The main example that comes to mind to me is Lawson. I mean, he's not a generational talent or anything, but he's a very solid driver despite being very inexperienced. As soon as he got in the car in 2024 he was already running pretty close to Tsunoda(who had a pretty solid season in 2024). I feel like most of the dislike for him comes from his clash with Perez in Mexico(which by the way, Perez was in the wrong) and his later "I'm not here to make friends remark"

Do people still hate on him, months after he became WDC?

Lando Norris became the WDC in 2025. Personally, i love the lad for his pace and racecraft (not the racecraft in driver combat fs). I rooted for him in 2025 but i couldn't ignore his childish and entitled remarks he made all throughout the last couple of years.

Bro became an enemy of almost all F1 fans for those remarks and statements. But months after his championship victory, seems like the wrath against him has died down. Have the fanhood finally forgiven him for all those, or have they forgotten him entirely.

Also, do people feel he was a worthy champion? I feel he was, after what all mistakes OP made last year in pressure situations. He wasn't ready yet for WDC, imo.

Gilles Villeneuve

Since it's the Canadian Grand Prix, how would you rate each of Gilles Villeneuve's seasons?

Is Stroll’s accident a contributing factor for his awful performance?

I’m not trying to say it’s the only factor, as Stroll has made some mistakes that can’t possibly be justified by his accident, nor am I saying that he was a good driver prior to the accident. But in the past 3 years his performance has been awful for someone who has been in F1 as long as he has, even compared to his own performance in 2020, which he was hit or miss but still had more moments of competence compared to nowadays

If you could remove/modify one corner on the Callender, which one would it be? (Mine is qatar turn 1)

This modification makes turn 1 a heavy braking zone and allows divebomb moves by cars and thus helps overtaking in f1 while not completely ruining the flow for moto gp
