We knew it had to happen. He was lucky to have been brought back this season and the team still made treacherous mistakes.   Their cars were much faster than Mercedes and 2nd place never should have come down to the last race.    This bodes well for Ferarri going forward.

Andretti just broke ground on a $200m facility for their Indy Car team. The article said it could also house facilities for their possible F1 team.

Seems like it would be hard to have F1 HQ in the US.   It would limit the amount of factory talent that you could poach from the existing European teams.   Hard to get people to move from England, Germany, or Italy to Indianapolis.

That is an interesting point.  I guess I don't know how much F1 experience is needed for these types of things.  We do have a few engineers over here and we do make stuff go fast.   Honda did OK building an engine 10,000 miles from London.

I know a guy who used to build chassis for Ferrari during the Schumacher days that is looking for a job.

Williams announced its team principal and technical director both are leaving.

Honda registered with the FIA so they can build engines in 2026.  Not exactly sure why they left to begin with.

There was an article today saying Vasseur is the guy for Ferrari.  That the deal was done quite a while ago.  Seems odd if true.  Why not just announce it?
