    Ocon is going to Haas. This is where things sit officially right now... assuming that Perez doesn't lose his seat at Red Bull based on upcoming results. Sainz still needs a new team; some of the others might not be moving and just haven't confirmed yet.

    whatever merc found with their upgrades around the austrian/british gps is really paying off. great win and strategy for george.

    edit: oh dear, car was significantly underweight. may be a dq for george, that would be brutal.

    I like the tire management with one pit stop. It would be too bad if he gets disqualified, which it looks like he probably will.

    he's been dq'd. really hate that, but supposedly that's an extra tenth a lap underweight, which is significant.

    good for lewis, though. and podium for leclerc!

    Sainz has signed with Williams. Kind of feel bad for him, he honestly deserves better. But it would also be kind of cool if Williams can make a comeback of sorts with him involved; they've got a good history.

    i really, really hope newey goes back to williams now. albon and sainz are a brilliant duo, james vowles is one of the best strategic minds in f1, and now they just need the technical pedigree.

    seeing williams atop (or even on) the podium would be amazing to see

    Glad to have F1 back this coming weekend… even though Max will probably win at home in front of the Orange Army.

    pretty cool what we're seeing this year. aside from checo and red bull, both drivers at each of the four "big" teams have all won a gp.

    mercedes has given bono a very well-deserved promotion to head of race engineering, so he won't be off to ferrari with lewis. wonderful partnership they've had over the years, six world championships and birthed a meme.

    I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that the Mazepins would find something like this to use against Haas sooner or later.

    biding their time until the team worked its way through guenther and onto an upward trajectory to strike them down. gene haas is a scumbag, so i'm sure there's plenty of merit to the claims.

    Right, I was going to add that if it's a valid claim that Haas owes them money, that was pretty dumb on Haas' part.

    lol@Sargeant.

    Wonder if Colapinto can do anything in his 9 races to get a drive next year. Though unlikely as Drugovich, Pourchaire and Vesti still waiting in the wings.

    What will it take for an American driver to "stick" in F1?

    bearman driving for haas at baku, replacing k-mag.

    will be interesting to see what he can do in a substantially lesser car than the one he drove at saudi arabia for sainz. good preview of what he may be able to do next year for haas too, beneficial all around.

    From the NASCAR thread:

    I haven't been able to watch most races this year (I only have an antenna and no streaming subscriptions), but from what I've seen online, "refrigerator" is painfully accurate.

    I’d prefer Ferrari, but I’ll happily take McLaren in the “not Red Bull” category. :p
