Aston Martin are reportedly interested in Sainz to replace Fernando Alonso, while Audi are set to make a large offer to attract his services. Mercedes confirm W15 upgrades for Lewis Hamilton and George Russell for Imola.

Ending up at Mercedes sounds like a punishment
Mercedes ↔️ ferrari
@@jonathanclemmer8971Russell is just too fast.
The only thing Mercedes can offer Max is a bigger wage packet (but a slower car)…
Merc or alfa???...
Employing Lewis to drive for you is the worst punishment. Ferrari hate themselves for being so dumb 😂😂
Let’s all recognize that Ferrari pulled off two different tire strategies and made them both work in one race. Go back to 2022 and they rarely chose one strategy that worked. Thumbs up so far for Fred’s influence at Ferrari
Aston Martin would become the most hated team if they dropped Alonso, but kept Stroll
Stroll is effectively the joint owner. Not a normal situation…..
They are already getting there for me. What kills me is Ricciardo would have looked like an absolute world beater next to Stroll, would have actually saved his career
Aston Martin knows Fernando isn’t loyal to build with them, like Lando is to build with McLaren. They know if a better seat comes along he’s gone. So they’d probably rather a younger driver looking to come in and being the unofficial main driver next to the bosses son.
@@Duval-In-The-Wallno good driver needs their career saved.
Danny has been slow for a long time now. I foresee a lot more crashes in his future as he gets more desperate
i think you mean Alonso martin
That Merc seat is currently unattractive...Alonso was right
Year 2030, toto " upgrades are coming!" 😂😂
"We are moving to the one side pod concept." That one side pod will be placed behind the rear right tire. 😂
We are trying out putting our floor on the top... Groundbreaking concept
2030 Lewis still trying to get just one win 😂😂😂😂
Vindictive nerd
"We understand the car."
This guy tries to get as many words into the first 30 seconds as humanly possible.
Alright guys
Gotta hook em to book em!
And im called a weirdo when i say i watch this dude at 0.75 speed😅
i watch this guy at 2x speed to get the most amount of information possible in my 10 minute cafe break 😂😂
He should join Mercedes. If the Mercedes is that fast as he talks they will win every race. 😂😂😂
The Lewis move is really shaking up the drivers market
I would love to see Nando in a Red Bull next year. He's still pushing.
You said you didn’t want to speculate then spent 5 minutes speculating where Sainz was going 😂 You are the best!
The best what we aren't sure about, he gets confused regurgitating other people's views
Sainz & Alonso @ Aston Martin wod be FIRE... Stroll isn't good, why aren't people seeing this, or y'all afraid of the Dad Lawrence🤷
Everyone's always known he's rubbish but what can they do
Everyone with a passing interest in F1 knows about the nepotism problem at Aston Martin.
Stroll couldn't find a seat anywhere else in F1 😥
I ain't afraid of Lawrence. I wrote many times, if Lawrence wants a serious team he needs to get rid of Lance. I predicted many times Lance would be playing tennis next year.
When daddy's loaded who needs talent, Lawrence is like any other father, whatever the kid wants the kid gets, money allowing ofcourse
There has been and always will be drivers employed for the money they bring and not the talent
Red Bull wasn't threatened. If there 3 tenths behind that might be different if they were threatened. I mean Max just drove by Ferrari like he was going to Sunday school.
I feel like Mercedes have been the hardest hit team by the cost cap. They've not really had a track record of being dominant at season open. They've had a habbit of throwing money at the cars in the beginning of seasons and dominating by the end. They can't do that anymore, and it seems to be ruining them.
Sainz to Aston sounds the most reasonable. They are on rise and with the Honda engine in 2026 and Lowrence money and ambition to be a F1 winner makes then an intresting choice for Sainz. He will also be the favoured driver in Aston since Lance is a bit all over the place
Sainz will be at Red Bull next year. We want to win races not build for the future.
AMR might have to take on Tsunoda as part of an agreement with Honda to get engines in 2026. Also, if Verstappen decides he wants to move, he's moving to Aston Martin. The entire driver market right now is hinging on Verstappen and Red Bull, even though no one is mentioning his name except Toto. If Verstappen wants out, every driver in F1 is going to want that seat, and every team is going to want Verstappen.
@@mikemelina7395every team except Ferrari right now.
@@mgers75Nope
@@mgers75Max is not leaving after all.
I truly believe once Max has pulled a couple seconds, he's humming show tunes to the finish line.
Where does the behind the scenes info comes from?
Close the Gap is a line we been hearing for years now. Finishing 20s behind RB isnt closing a gap... and does carlos think RB are not developing either?
"Even Fernando Alonso can't hold back time for eternity." That's very sad, I'd definitly miss him.
So Ferrari will catch up to RBR per Sainz? Well maybe to this RBR car because by then RBR is midway on next years car. Teams are 2 seasons behind RBR.
Williams's upgrade pic was funny. 😂
Silly season has come a lot earlier this year - it’s all pure speculation and we need several more races to see who remains the consistent performers and how the cars improve with big upgrades coming for the European leg for many teams.
When Carlos and Ferrari catch up to where Redbull are now, they won’t be there anymore.
I wonder where Merc would be if they stuck with the w13 idea. It was faster, shocking from Mercedes
It's absolutely absurd that we're talking about Aston Martin getting rid of Fernando Alonzo instead of Stroll. Smfh
Maybe the redbull is a second faster in the wind tunnel as well so merc needs 2 secs in wind tunnel.
Alonso to Red Bull would save the sport as an entertainment proposition (unless Ferrari can close the gap this year).
It would be very entertaining to watch Max beat him
@@Duval-In-The-Wall In your dreams.
@@creepingdread88
You really think it’s a stretch to think that Max, the best driver on the grid, would beat Alonso, a man who was ran as close as possible by Ocon?
Seriously?
@@Duval-In-The-Wall its just racing math, alonso had terrible reliability, ocon beat max to the title in f3
@@MrHayze88
Fucking hell if this means Ocon could challenge Max lmao
Also Alonso’s h2h stats with Ocon are 23-21 in quali and 17-17 in races, reliability has nothing to do with that
teams are also talking about whether Yuki is available. This will be interesting!
I agree it would be a total shame to oust any driver to keep Strohl
Setting 4 laps before the end the fastest lap on old hards tells you enough
So what stopped perez from setting the fastest lap?
@@leotimtom6637skill on old tyres
Yup it tells you that Max has managed his tyres in that last stint well…keeping some left IN CASE OF A LATE SAFETY CAR…he now could use that what was left for the fastest lap, with only 0.1 sec faster than 2nd fastest by the way…..
Max knows how to manage his tyres well till the finish 💪
ORITE GUYS
The silly season is like a box of mixed doughnuts. The big teams want that first jel filled pick.
I just hope the 5 plain ones don’t get eaten.
It’s heavily under the radar but BOTH Ocon and Gasly are going to be on the market next season
Are they going anywhere but out?
They can’t move. Ocon will stay as lead driver, as he is clearly trying to be right now, constantly trying to somehow motivate the team. Gasly has no choice but to stay cos he can’t proof his worth to other teams in this car….
@@Redlingstein
This is nonsense. They are both out of contract, they are both F1 winners, with plenty of good performances, they’d definitely be worth looking at for a few teams
Idk why on earth they’d want to stay, they were already expressing dissatisfaction before the season started… now? Hahaha
@@lenlaskowski7374
Out of F1? I’d be very surprised, but most fans will forget that they are good drivers
@@Redlingstein
Gasly’s worth is proven tbh. Only teammate he has ever lost to is Verstappen
I’m wondering if Lewis will win next year with Ferrari…
Tactical, you always deliver the best F1 news. Keep it up.
By the way this is fascinating stuff. Helmut Marko's comments were quite illuminating I must say. It's not a popular opinion but I think if anyone deserves that Aston Martin seat it's Felipe Drugovich. He's been very loyal and has looked quick anytime he's sat in the car.
Marko makes comments with a purpose, always… to create a reaction somewhere…..
Politics
But don’t believe he’s sincere…he is always saying stuff with an alternative motive….
I think daddy stroll needsto wake up and smell the roses, that Lance isn't a good enough driver for Aston Martin and is just holding Aston Martin back from being higher up in the constructors championship!
I would love to see Sainz go to Reb Bull. Another top drive in that car will show how much how much is Max's success him or the car. Should be very exciting.
Yup it’ll shut up the max haters for good
If that is Astons plan for real, they are voluntarily taking the biggest L in driver swaps in recent history
It's to the point now at Mercedes where heads need to start rolling. Enough excuses, it'sobvious that the current leadership isn't capable of figuring out what is wrong with their car. For a team with their resources, that is simply unacceptable.
I really dont understand why everyone is speculating who will be in the RBR second seat when Perez is doin fine.
Maybe long term . Plus Liberty media wanted that RBR should have a competitive driver beside Max .
@@sidharthtirkey44 assuming Max stays at Red Bull after 2024. That's the dog that hasn't barked yet in the 2025 market, every team and driver is holding their breath waiting to see what Max does. Would Carlos go to Aston if Max leaves Red Bull? Nope, he'd go to RB. Which team isn't going to move heaven and earth to get Max...Ferrari, who else?
@@mikemelina7395 A great driver like Max still need a fast car to win races. An average driver can win races with the fastest car. Perez would have won 3 races this year if Max didn't drive at all. So Max would be the biggest loser if leaves RBR and Perez the winner
So my bet? Max is smart enough to know this, so he's not likely to leave RB
Perez is lucky that there is no emerging talent in the Red Bull pipeline, that’s why they’ve been trying weird gambles on NDV and Ricciardo
If there was a Leclerc, or a Piastri-type at VCARB, they would have been promoted for sure
Still think they were idiots for letting Albon go, demoting him was smarter
@@sidharthtirkey44nobody cares what Liberty Media thinks 😂😂 they have NO SAY in teams
I think the reality is that Helmut has absolutely no say in what Horner wants to do!
...but tons of influence over Max Verstappen, which means he has some say with the team.
Yup, the power situation has changed…for the better. The CEO/Teamboss should be the one deciding on the drivers…not a RB advisor…. Horner has more power now, it seems, and that’s a good thing. Horner didn’t want Gasly/Albon swap mid season and Horner didn’t want Albon kicked out either for Checo…..
Time for Stroll to call it quits
Guess who is 67 points behind Max just after 4 races!?
A mix of Red Bull and Monster for this dude.
Alonso could just be playing games to get a better deal. If he has options, he has negotiating power and therefore can command a better deal. Flavio Briatore is the master of this.
Unless he can get a seat at Red Bull, I don't see him going anywhere.
Has Ferrari maintained their fast(est) straight line speed with the aero improvements that led to reduced deg ? Or was that a trade off?
Aston knee capping themselves keeping stroll in the seat
I want to see Lawrence Stroll tested on a polygraph to see what is more important to him:
- Aston Martin F1 team be as successful as possible , or
- Giving his son a chance to race in F1 in the best seat he can get?
Is Lawrence losing any sleep at all that he could have a line-up of Alonso and Sainz?
Or could he be happy to push Alonso out to make room for Sainz?
Quality F1 drivers who are multiple race winners and in their best form don’t come onto the market very often.
no way rab does f1 content too, LFG
Has Max had to actually to race in the past two years ?
I'd low to see him pushed. That would be fun 😂
he was pushing. Even in the last corner before finish line he was on the limit.
He had to race in Baku 2023, in Bahrain 2022, in Monaco 2023, in Miami 2023, in Spa 2022, in Hungary with spin 2022, in Zandvoort 2023 with rain, in Brasil 2022, in Singapore 2023, in Barcelona 2022, in Montreal 2022 against Sainz… SO MANY RACES, rewatch them, where Max had to really battle to the front and for the win or P2… also Jeddah 2022 and 2023…. Also Monaco 2023 with the rain….
Max isn't sacrificing a guaranteed title in 2025. He'll just accept that Horner runs the show and see how 2026 RB challenger is before he decides to jump ship.
Helmut will probably get sacked or "retire" by the end of this season.
I agree, Max tries to bluff with Merc but Horner isn’t buying into that 😂
If Alonso gets kicked out instead of Stroll Aston will lose all accountability, you don't kick your (far) better driver, if Alonso finds another sit by his will and Stroll stays along with a new driver, that's another thing (although Alonso/Sainz at Aston and Stroll out sounds good to me and seems far better for Sainz that going to Audi, a newcomer)
Aston already lost their accountability when they threw away the easiest top 4 finish you will ever see to McLaren of all teams 😂
“You don’t kick out your better driver”- get with the program mate, that’s what this team does
In 2018 we dropped our future talent in Ocon for STROLL
In 2020 we dropped Perez in order to keep STROLL
In 2022 Vettel retired but surely he was sick of his existence after we finished 7th TWICE
So yeah, the better driver has left FI/RP/AM the last 3 times, and we had the consistent Hulkenberg as our fucking reserve
It’s a past “we” btw, been a supporter for 15 years but last year broke me
Honestly I wouldn’t wish 6 years of the Strolls on anyone, their incompetence could bring down an empire, even Red Bull
its soo weird seen toto and mercedes puzzled by their creation, if they were a new team, i'd understand but we are talking about mercedes a multi year world championship team not knowing what to do with the crapbox if a car they have.
Their engines carried them for years.....when the regulations went more towards aero....well....
Mercedes is not solving a technical car problem, they are trying to solve Lewis lack of confidence problem.
That's why they are clueless on what to do, as they are not working on an engineering problem but a psychological one.
That's why they have no choice but to run and try various setup configuration on Lewis car until they could figure out what Lewis' actually want from the car.
George doesn't need to do that because he can adapt to the car much quicker.
George's only problem is that everytime Mercedes tried to introduce something to the car to help Lewis, he had to readjust and make compromises which offset his own progress.
That's what happened last year when Mercedes shifted the car development direction to favor Lewis' preferences.
@@gelmir7322 the car has been crap since the start of 2022 regardless
Yea but they have lost so many good engineers that the team is not what it was. Many are now at Red Bull, and look where they are.
@@gelmir7322no thats BS George has the same feedback. Read the comments
Mercedes will be in the background for the next 10 years
Aston should drop stroll for the good of the team
Toto says we can't understand to many time for too many years to be in his position in F1!
Please start posting these on Spotify 🙏🙏
i will look into it, thanks.
I've no doubt that Max has a veto on his future team mate at RB, so don't expect anyone good to join there anytime soon
Ferrari posted Rawe Ceek. Merc admin is just a ship toaster.
jeez, Stroll keeping his seat is a joke.
Don’t new rules open Parc ferme up after sprint race?
Yes after Sprint parc fermee opens again 👊🏻
yes indeed as far as we know, which is a good change but still I imagine will be chaos.
RB is giving the others some hopium ... or does anybody thinks Max was flatout 😂😂
I’ve been watching your videos for almost a year every single day but for some reason every time you say “Subscribe if you’re new” I always think you’re gonna say “Subscribe if you will” 😂
Watch your channel and good job on your narrative. One thing please, pretty please...it's Ast'o'n Martin not Ast'i'n Martin..driving my OCD into crazy...
"better for the team". We saw how differently Max drives when it matters with Lewis.
Ver/Sai would be spicy. Ver/Alo would be thermonuclear.
Verstappen/Alonso will be very one-sided tbh
There will be plenty of incidents and drama for sure
You mean…we all know what LH does when he sees a RBR car…. We saw that with Albon and Max, he crashes them off hitting their rear tyre….
Stop being delusional, LH was ONLY ever threatened, after Rosberg, by Max…so LH drives against Max ALSO different than against any other driver… it goes both ways. They were both their only real competition. So BOTH drive differently in those situations
@@Redlingstein my guy talks about delusion but got breathless typing out a comment.
Are you alright there little guy?
The only time I would support alonso would be if he went to red bull to challenge max
that williams would be entertaining in the sprints if all teams would have a car like that and then have 1 of the drivers steer and the otherone controls the pedals.
Audi is pushing drivers to decide. They have Hulk secure. First choice surly is Sainz, but if he doesnt decide or goes to Mercedes, Checo might be the second choice. A n interesting posibility for Checo. He now has to push RB to decide if they keep him or not. We could see Sainz to Merc. Checo to Audi with Hulk . RB.. MV and Albon? 🤷
Hulk to a (good) works team is exciting. Last of the German army
Audi is 2026…
not gonna lie..Mercedes and William deserve all the jokes...hilarious
Everytime I hear someone say the greatest drivers in the world, I think Stroll and Sargeant 🤔
Don't dare listen to Mr. Rab at 2x video speed 😅😅
i hate how the schedule was made this year with all these 2 week breaks between the next 3 races?! are you kidding , i know there are other reasons why they don’t just make an efficient schedule we’re the next race is the closest location but going : monaco > canada > spain , is the dumbest thing i’ve ever seen
i honestly doubt Mercedes get a podium, unless there upgrades somehow catapult them above Ferrari which isn’t gonna happen
I'm sick of hearing Mercedes and Hamiltons excuses. Hamiltons "My car isn't the best by a mile anymore and it's showing my true skill level, it's not fair". At least he's not claiming he's losing because of racism in the team now like he did when Rosberg beat him.
Hamilton is exposing himself in real time since 2021, and there were already signs he was dropping off that season
At this point people will say Alonso is better 😂
Lawrence Stroll should put the team above family, sack Lance and bring in Sainz and to partner Alonso
ALO is on another level to Sainz and always will be.
This channel is more entertaining than the racing in this sport right now
MB used a different company for the radiators, intercoolers to the rest of the F1 teams. Guess you should stick to people that know a bit 😂😂😂
O.596sec Wtf What an effort by the Scuderia Rosso to catch that much time on the same Circuit over 6 months is light speed in terms of pace, by Abu Dhabi at that rate they’ll be 1.4sec a lap or ok got it -0.804sec a lap quicker than Red Bull. At that pace they’ll win the race, all things being equal, so Ferrari would win that race by 46 seconds. I’ll be there with my son and I’d love to see that, statistics although somewhat fascinating leave a lot to be desired sometimes cause if Ferrari or Mclaren between them win more than 7 races, sprints included I’ll be shocked to say the least. 😮
Guys I’m seeing a lot of Sainz to Aston posts, sorry I called it Feb 1st as soon as Sainz lost his job. I didn’t say Benz cause I knew they’d be shit cause why else would Lewis leave, not the money, he’s got plenty, it’s all about no. 8 well 9 really, anyone deny that no, didn’t think so. So Lewis will get no. 8 if the Ferrari is half as good as it is now, and the fact it’s gonna be better again must thrill Max cause him and Lewis have great respect but race hard and they love it their the best two on the grid and ticket prices will double and the circuits will still overflow cause like it, hate it everyone wants to see Lewis win a World Championship in Scuderia Rosso #44, it’s gonna be epic. Phew ok all good now Sainz with Alonso, I’ll be upset if Toto doesn’t pop Albon in the Benz, even though the Williams could be the better car, Albon deserves a payday, he gets a pathetic mill, for the season compared to Max £50mill, and Lewis £100mill at Ferrari, poor Alex, I’d sue Toto if I didn’t get the seat, he was paid more at Benz for his simulator work than his seasons at Williams and he supports all his family and pets, oh what car does he drive, a Renault ?
😂😂😂😂 you are so delusional
I really dont know what Stroll is doing in the Aston at this point.. He must know somewhere inside himself, that the only reason why he is in that car, is because his dad is the boss.. It must be embarrasing .. He said "The car didnt have the pace" and "I didnt have the pace in me" .. He really let the team down over and over again.. (And then from time to time) he has a good Race, but there is long between them..
Merc biggest problem is clueless strategy of what tires, when with how much fuel. Sometimes Lewis is as fast as anyone, other times being passed by everyone. The car setup is the setup in both cases
Might be time for Toto to step aside. New blood might energize the team.
Red Bull should definitely choose Alonso over Sergio, if Alonso was booted for sainz and had no drive then he’s a way better option than Perez
If Max has a DNF or is off form one race like in Australia, they need Perez to win, or at least Podium.
When this happened Perez was nowhere.
Arent you forgetting something? Horner said it and Helmut said it.. 🙄
That social media post from Mercedes was a disaster
I think Alonso could mean how well he controlled the car with what he had and not necessarily star studded results.
Your videos are very informative.
The best F1 informative channel on TH-cam.
Maybe Mercedes need take W13 or w14 to races where they were competitive.
They wouldn't even be in the points
crazy how hyper you are at the start and end like a sleeping tablet
Enough of this Stroll nonsense. If he was in any other team he wouldn't have been in F1. They would have let him go years ago. If they want to be serious it must be Sainz and Alonso. That's something great to aim for. Wake up Papa Stroll, this has gone on way too long.
No one will get anywere near honda They were cruizing no one was pushing them Max pulls out fastest lap at end race with old tyres He just crusing
Pure comedy gold. That end plate damage on Lewis’s car is sod all. He’s driven with the end plate missing completely before today. More excuses from the Stroll mk2 driver. 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
What Alonso is doing with that Aston Martin is outstanding! He seriously deserves that Red Bull seat and a chance to fight for the championship.
Poor Williams! They could stay home and save the fare.
I just know that Ricardo is not going anywhere, only he will going home to Australia😂
Alonso + Checo in redbull. Or Carlos Sainz and Checo in redbull 🔥🔥🔥
Hamilton in HAAS.
I think next to RedBull, Mercedes is the Most interesting Place to be if were already thinking about new engines in 2026.
@@jonathanclemmer8971 will be very interresting greetings from Germany 🙏
😂😂😂 2026 are still these ground effect cars…remember
what are these goons at aston saying, why would they want him for 25 knowing hes quite well linked with audi for 26
Austin Martin dumping Alonso before they dump Stroll is just insane, I know Stroll has bought the drive but getting rid of Alonso would be huge shame! I like him a lot and he can still deliver someone would benefit from having him in their drive
Don't understand why everyone is talking like sainz is a verstappen, he just got a couple of good races and all of a sudden, he is the best driver.....pff be real.
Last year, all of yall were saying daniel Riccardo was the next good thing ...ppffff
It’s classic flavor of the month with F1 fans, memory of a goldfish. At the start of 2023 people thought Perez was going to fight for the WDC, Stroll was good, Ocon was a top driver, Norris was overrated, and that Piastri made a mistake with McLaren
Later that year suddenly Gasly and Albon deserved top seats, Norris was good again, Russell was a top driver- no wait he sucks- no wait he’s a top driver
Last season Ricciardo qualified P4 and everyone was saying “sack Perez on the plane” now they want him sacked
Magnussen was useless, now he’s quality. People forget Hulk and Bottas exist
Currently, apparently Sainz will be able to challenge Verstappen (lmao) and Leclerc was never that good (LMAO), Hamilton is finished (lmao), Tsunoda deserves a Red Bull seat (LMAO), Ocon/Gasly basically don’t exist
80% of all opinions are completely dependent on car performance. If Haas and Sauber suddenly got cars that were as good as the McLaren, watch people start talking up Magnussen and Bottas again 😂😂
@Duval-In-The-Wall hahhahhhaa dam dude, you just spoke the truth the and nothing but the truth so help you god 😂😂😂😂. 💯 i just dont understand these people they just go wherever the wind blows.
Totally agree. Carlos has been VERY INCONSISTENT in 2022 and 2023… now has a few strong consistent races and is SUDDENLY THE MAN lol
@@neumanuelhart4473
Tell me about it. Memory doesn’t go back even more than 2 races. All you have to do is look at the comments section for each race highlights vid, you get a time capsule of where the fanbase was at the time. It changes a RIDICULOUS amount
I get bashed for being “stubborn” but the truth is I have something called MEMORY
No, I don’t believe Sainz is Verstappen-level, because the last time he out-qualified a teammate across a season was Kvyat in 2017
I don’t believe Tsunoda is suddenly amazing because I watched Gasly mop the floor with him as teammates, and he has been against the weakest drivers on the grid since
I don’t think Alonso is capable of challenging Max either, because he genuinely had to stretch every sinue he has just to barely beat Ocon as teammates
I don’t believe Leclerc is “inconsistent” in fact, he has a streak of 11 top 5 finishes in races he was allowed to finish. Even in what is a bad spell for him, his average finish is 3.25
I believe Norris is the real deal, because he’s out-qualified every teammate he’s ever had, and his teammates were Sainz, Ricciardo and Piastri, constantly scores podiums and outperformed the Alonso/Ocon duo in a slower car in 2022
I believe Hulkenberg is underrated, because that man jumps in a car with zero practice and puts a result on the board like he did at Racing Point, or missing 3 years and beating his teammate by 5-6 tenths on his comeback at Haas. People do not realize how much that team upgraded their driver lineup in 2 years
I’ve been watching F1 for 15 years, fans may forget easily, but the people in charge do not
Sometimes good content sometimes click bait
Does this guy have a hard-on for Ferrari or what? Ferrari were only 3/10 of a second behind RedBull!!!!! Sainz still finished 22 seconds behind Max, bro.
Mercedes, as a team with a rich Formula 1 history, has been actively collecting data for the past three years. While they have achieved significant success over the last eight years, there seems to be a recent struggle to maintain their dominance and avoid falling into the midfield ranks. It is unclear what has happened to the wealth of data accumulated during their winning streak, especially considering the departure of Niki Lauda.
