Mercedes and Their New Sidepods (New Sidepod Images Surface at Monaco)

It has been long awaited to see if Mercedes will look completely different or just add to a failing slim sidepod design. Well, pictures surface and we get a hint to that answer.

Max Fans Don’t Do Other Max Fans Justice (Racist Slurs in Formula 1)

I have encountered many positive conversations with RBR and or Max fans. But, two things can and are true. I have seen and encountered racial, homophobic and sexiest slur from RBR and MV orange army fans. It's ridiculous that people will see factual evidence of a racist event and throw the famous defensive "You're pulling the race card!" quote in support of the racism. Let's talk!

F1 Minute Live Show: Lewis Reacts to Tweeter, Merc Updates, Driver Celebrations

Many things are happening leading into a new race week. Lewis reacts to mean tweets, Monaco may not be the best spot for new updates and drivers feel that F1 introductions are a waste of their time. Plus I invite people who hate Lewis Hamilton to come and explain why.

Mercedes Release Mean Lewis Tweets (They Should Have Put The Harsh Ones Out)

Mercedes took a step that would display some of the non-sense that people direct towards Sir Lewis Hamilton. But, in my opinion! I believe they should have done a better job with the tweet spread. I displayed a racist tweet that was also directed at Lewis and that's only one of many through the years. Mercedes should have allowed many to see what Lewis and the team endure. But, yet they still carry themselves with resect and integrity.
 
Mercedes AMG! Next time put the racist, homophobic and bigots on display as well!

Mercedes Bringing Updates to Monaco Now (Should They Wait for Spain)

With the cancellation of the Imola GP many things have shifted for several teams. And, even more so for Mercedes as to them bringing a heavy update to the troubled W14. Should Mercedes bring the update to Monaco or wait for better circuits?
 
Let's talk about it!

Alfa Romeo is Home For Valtteri Bottas (But Will Audi Feel The Same)

Valtteri has found a warm and welcoming vibe in the Alfa Romeo building. He feels a sense of ownership he couldn't experience with Mercedes. Mainly due to his performance sitting him in the number two seat and Lewis Hamilton being as great as he is in the history of Formula 1. Now Bottas has the lead and a rookie in Zhou right beside him. Performance at Alfa Romeo is not equaling what Bottas produced with Mercedes. But, he said it's more important to feel wanted.
In 2026, Audi will be taking over the Sauber chassis that Alfa Romeo currently occupy. The big question on the horizon will be if Audi wants Bottas.

Emilia Romagna Grand Prix Cancelled | Citizens Flooded From Their Homes

Once the FIA and FOM evacuated personnel from the circuit, things were definitely on notice. More than the concerns for a GP being cancelled, were the utmost concerns for the people of this town being in danger.
I wanted to see Formula 1 do the right thing for the people. And, eventually after several videos and social media post. They did!

Ferrari, Charles & Carlos Had a Rough GP Ahead (Imola Isn’t Their Place)

Just wondering what Ferrari may have been able to accomplish at the Italy Emilia Grand Prix. And, I don't think it would have been stunning based on the previous results.
