I am not 99% certain Max is gone from RBR.

He can get a better car on another team. Likely Mercedes.

I've heard speculation that he might just take next year off to see who does have the new regs figured out. The redbull is clearly a crap car. Of the other top teams, McLaren, Ferrari, Mercedes, its clear that those cars are more drivable as multiple drivers can you know actually drive them.

Really happy for Hulk getting the podium yesterday. Deserved that.

A year late.

Based on the internet this makes it more likely that Max will both stay and leave lol

So it looks like F1 will be streaming only in 2026. Way to destroy momentum.

Apple TV charges $99 for the MLS season.

Guessing it will be about the same for an Formula 1 package.

It will be interesting to see if people are willing to pay that.

Ianhatcher · 07-13-2025, 11:12 AM

I'm good with F1 TV at $79 a year and hope that doesn't change. So much more in value there then just the races.

If I'm being honest, most races are on either overnight or early Sunday morning and the racing actually sucks, I'd probably just watch the 7 min highlight package on youtube.

I believe I read that in America that F1 TV won't include the Grand Prix races. Only practices and qualifying.

JRX · 07-15-2025, 10:13 AM

I'll add that a huge element to making racing watchable is the presentation. While I don't like the overt bias of sky they do a good job making it easy to follow. The indy car presentation has too many commercials and its difficult to follow which strategy each car is on. That might be partly due to the difference between the sports as F1 is now so optimized pretty much everyone has the same tire strat.

Ianhatcher · 07-15-2025, 10:44 AM

Interesting, everything I have read is they will have the GPs still for F1 TV in the US market but if they remove them I see no reason to keep the service. That would be disappointing for sure as I have no interest in Apple TV outside watching Slow Horses.

JWBlue · 07-25-2025, 09:14 AM

Max to to remain at RBR for 2026 with out clause in 2027.

Probably the best decision to find out which car will give him the best chance to win.

JWBlue · 07-26-2025, 08:16 AM

Holy crap. RBR had upgrades and Max won the Sprint.

And then we got a boring procession where Lando got beat by Oscar early and it was over. I was thinking what if F1 only used the softest three compounds. Get rid of all the hardest tires, the engineers have gotten so good even Mediums last most of the race.

What a qualifying. Baku is easily a top three track for me along with Austria.

I like Baku too.

I like Singapore next week too. Always like the night races and of course the hot conditions.

Max will have a more difficult time there with it being a high downforce track with few long straightaways.

Singapore is also a great one. High speed street track, great circuit.

Will there ever be another F1 release on Topps US? Geez louise.
