I was gonna comment "Isn't it a little bit late for 2025 as they should have already started designing the new chassis by now?" then I read this

While a change of engine for next season would trigger some extra effort for Alpine in sorting out new installation for its 2025 car that is already being worked on, a switch to Mercedes would bring a likely immediate competitive boost because it is widely accepted that the current Renault power unit is down on power compared to the opposition.

I'm pretty sure the EU Commission will have something to say about this

If I understand correctly, it's just a fancy donation?

Well, Perez can thank the rain for allowing him to start 15th rather than 20th tomorrow 🙃

Edit: welp, the rain is stopping, so I stand corrected

But according to the Italian branch of Motorsport.com, Williams has tried to take advantage of the situation between Ocon and Alpine as they head towards an exit.

It is reported that the Grove-based squad attempted to bring Ocon to the team with immediate effect as a replacement for Logan Sargeant.

Wait a minute, isn't Ocon linked to a Haas seat? I'm lost...

I'm surprised Datadog is that much of a money maker to be able to afford GitLab

The studio behind Driver (Reflections Interactive) and the series's licensing rights have been purchased by Ubisoft in 2006

Is there an existing community for on-track sim racing?

Indeed, there is no option for commenting in the available swipe actions

Maybe, though I understood the reason RB renewed Perez in the first place was because they were afraid Carlos and Max competing each other would lead to a Gasly-Ocon situation, so he may be waiting for a seat that will never be offered to him.

If it's true, bummer for Doohan, would have liked to see some more rookies join F1 next year.
