Lawson announced as the RB driver.

Never really been much of a fan of Lawson, but i knew it was inevitable because of Honda holding Yuki back. I really hope Yuki at least can somehow keep a seat because AMR will be impossible to do so.

Hadjar promoted to the VCARB seat along side Tsunoda. The 2025 grid is finally filled until someone in the RB organization gets sacked.

Also announced - Bottas to be the Mercedes reserve driver.

It's the 24 Hours of Daytona this weekend. Too bad 18 of 24 hours is paywalled behind Peacock.

But first, the start of Race 2 of the IMSA MX-5 cup. What a hoot! https://www.reddit.com/r/IMSARacing/..._what_a_start/

Everyone became a BMW hater for the GT Pro class. The #48, a full 50+ laps down, set up a pick move against the corvette causing damage to help the #1 BMW teammate. So about 12 min to go the corvettes decided to punt the #1 into the shadow realm.

Monaco turned into a two stop race. https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/a...pOcqBe9f6PYgkq

So pumped that we get Albert Park and Suzuka 3 of the first 4 weeks. We're going to be eating good.

I'm ready for Ferrari to break out the clown shoes.

Oh and footnote for the weekend - 12 Hours of Sebring on Saturday 10:30am EDT to 10:30pm EDT. I'd say it would be a perfect lead in... if it were not for all them shit ads.

This is a GLORIOUS week of racing. I'm subbing to F1 TV this year, fuck Youtube TV.

Ferrari is primed to absolutely stink the place up.

F1TV now has a premium tier that broadcasts in 4K HDR. It’s not compatible with all devices for the time being sadly, but it looks like it’s on Apple TV and Roku.

It’s $130/yr so $50 more than the original subscription. I’m tempted to get it but unfortunately my Sony android tv doesn’t have the F1 TV app available so it’s kinda pointless for me, and i’m not buying an Apple TV or watching it on my TCL Roku tv. I normally have to cast it from my android tablet to my TV to watch.
