Ferrari won’t renew Lewis Hamilton’s contract for 2027 (LA7). Ex-F1 driver Martin Brundle says Haas rookie Oliver Bearman should be next in line after his stellar Mexico GP. Why wait? Ferrari should make the move for 2026. #F1 #Ferrari #Hamilton #Bearman #MexicoGP #SillySeason

In a 2023 interview, Bernie Ecclestone said he only considers Schumacher a seven-time F1 champion. He dismissed Hamilton’s 2008 title, admitting he knew about Crashgate and chose not to act to protect F1’s image. Massa still fights for justice. #JusticeForMassa #F1 #Crashgate

Race strategy looks sharp. Pirelli’s latest data favors a one-stop plan shaped by altitude, heat, and compound gaps. Tyre wear is fine, but thermal degradation bites. Cooling is the fight. Grip is the prize. #RaceStrategyLooks #F1 #TyreStrategy #Pirelli #OneStop #GripGame

Tire management and pit strategy can be as vital as raw pace. The Mexico GP often brings surprises and Safety Cars, and smart timing could decide who leaves Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez closer to the world title. #MexicoGP #F1 #Formula1 #RaceStrategy

Tire strategy could shape the 2025 Mexico GP. Pirelli brings C2, C4 & C5 compounds with a main plan, but altitude, tire wear & overtaking difficulty allow bold variations. Pit stop timing will be key. #MexicoGP #F1 #Formula1 #Pirelli #RaceStrategy

McLaren and Mercedes should've been disqualified in 2024 – and again in 2025. Rules must apply equally to all. If a solution only becomes legal in 2026, the FIA is implicitly admitting it was illegal before. #F1 #FIA #Mercedes #McLaren #Formula1 #FairPlay #Motorsport

The controversial movable wings of McLaren and Mercedes will be legal in 2026. But what about those who clearly broke the rules and used Mini-DRS, flex wings & tire cooling when it was banned? No penalties? #McLaren #McLarenRacing #MercedesF1 #Formula1 #RacingPolitics #F1 #FIA

Pirelli’s 1-stop strategy: start on Mediums, switch to Hards or end on Softs. 2-stop: Soft–Medium–Soft/Medium. With high temps in Austin, tire wear and thermal management will be crucial. #F1 #USGP #Pirelli #RaceStrategy #AustinGP #Tires

Pirelli predicts multiple strategy paths for the 2025 #USGP, with Soft and Medium tires in focus. The performance gap is minimal, but starting on Hard could be risky and cost positions early in the race. #F1 #Formula1 #Pirelli #RaceStrategy #AustinGP #TireTalk
