Formula 1 2025

Lots of respect show by Verstappen and particularly Piastri straight after the race  congratulating Norris .

 

And  Russell and Sainz were quick to congratulate too .

 

A very emotional win for Lando obviously.

As an F1 casual these days, I don’t know much about Norris’ back story.

Someone told me he was a spoilt rich kid born with a silver spoon in his mouth whose career has been bankrolled by his rich father.

Is that fair?

He certainly had all the advantages of wealth when it comes to getting seats in the best cars all the way through on the way to F1, and additional track time.  You still need to have the talent to win it of course, else every rich kid would be driving a Formula 1 car.  By all accounts he is a good guy, my mate was his fitness coach on the McLaren Young Driver program from when he was 12 to about 19.

We have one of those guys here 

 

I don't watch much F1 these days, but congrats to Lando on the title

Looks like Helmut is retiring, I think it’s gonna be a long time until redbull win a title again

Max doesn't have beef with Lando, and it's always been reciprocated as well. 

I feel for Piastri a bit - with being out in the cold for two years (which still is bemusing), he's proven that he's a match for Lando and he probably should have won it. Though look which unfortunately knocked his confidence. 

 

Will be interesting how the field shapes up next year and whether it will be even more competitive. Hopefully we won't have another dominant run of seasons where one manufacturer runs away with it from the start while the others play catch up for 2 or more years.

Saw this video on YouTube on how the season looked in reverse .

 

Really would have been an even more painful way for Oscar and Verstappen to not win the title in more dramatic circumstances.
