Silly Season 2025/26
Summer break is almost upon us and so the Silly Season is due to start.
Time to place your bets, back your hunches, spill any gossip or share any news.
I will start with HUNCHES.
(Im the Hunchbacker of Tasmania)
This is the last year for Max at Red Bull.
I still think he is definitely likely to win WDC, with McL easy taking WCC.
Both Oscar (my wish) and Lando are well in it too, but you can NEVER discount Maximus!
So come new year Max will either have 5 WDC on a trot and decide to search for new challenge (away from f1 Driving) or one of the Papaya lads will have it. If so I think Max will jump ship to a new team. Merc or A.M with Adrian Newey again? Daddy Warbucks Strolls around with a huge loot sack. And who wouldnt want a free Aston Martin or 2 in their home garage.. beats Hondas or Fords.
This will trigger all change with Nando, Gorgeous George, Carlos, maybe even Lewis or Charles, pretty well everyone seeing whats to be had.
If Oscar gets #1 at end of year I can see Lando taking his bat to another tent.
(yes contracts... but contracts are made to be broken. Show a lawyer a contract and a chequebook...)
Further I think maybe Christian might call "time please, gentlemen". After a wonderful half decades its been a rough couple of years, with the car not where it should be, that scandal last year, Jos and others at war with him. Its not suuch a happy camp in blue theses days.
He doesnt need the money and there would be plenty happy to have him...
I think Freddy is safe at the Scudia for now, despite the fish wrappers and click bait.
I dont know how much longer we will have SugarDaddy running a team for his tantrumming, spoiled, son. One (or both) of them will go away. Either the boy to WDC or Indy, or daddy will sell the whole toy box.
But thats maybe end of 2026 if their new car cocks its leg on lamp posts.
And we STILL dont know who will be in the Andrettillacs. (Cadrettis?)
Im still favouring Checo with a youngster. Maybe an American from outside F1 (Super licenses can be got, it seems)
so put your reputation where your mouth in, spread som scuttlebutt or stir up some mischief.
