Red Bull also confirmed that checo is staying for the rest of the season.

I guess that one year at Sauber would have been too painful to wait out.

Glad this saga is finally over. I wonder what eventually made him choose Williams over Alpine.

Stable management vs chaos? Just a guess

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Mercedes engine in Williams instead of under performing Renault engine in Alpine?

[–] narc0tic_bird@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago (3 children)

They are switching to Mercedes engines though..?

They are thinking about switching to Mercedes engines.

Well, it's not acted: Renault needs approval from Viry's labor unions.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Who, Alpine? I thought that was 2026.

[–] GreenEngineering3475@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Vowels letting him(and his team) write the contract probably.

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Hopefully this will start the great driver change.

[–] GreatRam@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I wonder how much Williams is paying him

[–] cheddar@programming.dev 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's huge for Williams. I wonder what made him choose them over other teams.

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

[–] Knuschberkeks@leminal.space 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

you think Williams is paying him more than Red Bull, Mercedes or Audi?

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

That's about the only way for a consistently bottom tier team to land someone of his talent and experience

[–] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Let's go!

Sainz-Albon first appendix-less driver pairing in F1

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 3 months ago

These are the kind of stats I'm here for
