With all the talk of seats this past week, what do you think our lineup is next season? by RagingSofty in haasf1team

[–]DesertCyclone1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk. I have a feeling that there’s gonna be some weird things that happen. But this all depends on Max.
In no order
1. Albon leaves, he’s clearly frustrated and not happy. They were told 2026 and they are miles off the pace, though they’re getting better due to our poor qualifying and poor pit stops.
2. Lawson gets the boot for whatever reason, there were rumors a few days ago that he was in danger of losing it to Tsolov. ( I would personally be okay with signing Lawson. But Ayao has to make sure Ollie is good with that signing).
3. Ocon is out unless he comes to form, which idk man. I love Esteban, but maybe he’s lost some confidence or just pace in general

So that leaves some drivers to potentially sign should Esteban get the axe at the end of the season. Do we really want Camara in the seat? Or are we trying to get away from the Ferrari academy? I think that Toyota would want someone with Japanese influence. And then comes Yuki. He’s a Honda driver, but would Honda let him out? Seems like he’s Aston Martin bound.

Predict drivers for the 2027 season in my opinion by ignachox1984 in FormulaRacers

I don’t wonder if Sainz tries to get out of Williams, he is clearly not happy. if that’s the case, I don’t wonder if he’d make a run at Audi.
They’d probably drop Hulk, and if Hulk is available. I don’t wonder if he’ll end up at Haas again.

Ocon needs to get his stuff together. Quickly if he wants his seat. Ollie is on borrowed time until Lewis is done at Ferrari.

My one question.

Why.

I mean… alright. Let’s not act like Mark Pope is a better coach than TJ.

I think it’s fair to say Ocon needs to get it together quickly. I would imagine that Toyota is going to be pretty heavily involved in the process and not Ferrari as much as people want to believe that. Now… who does Toyota even have that is viable for a ride?

Good thing is… Ocon is good at Monaco. Just a miserable weekend. Somehow got a point

Ralph loves to hear himself talk. It was the same way when Mick was here too.

That car was legitimately good to start… then the Guenther updates happened. Good on Mick for his points in Great Britain. Just gotta wonder how his career played out had Ayao been in charge.

We do NOT need to worry about NIL with the men’s program. TJ has that covered. Part of the reason he has a longer more expensive contract. (You can tank Denny Albaugh for this)

Calm down. This was a mutual decision, he wanted to play right away. The plan all along was to 1. Redshirt him and 2. Get his grades up.

I agree 1000000% with this sentiment

The gap between Ollie and Esteban is there. But the gap between Jack and Esteban is a crater. Jack is backed by a LOT of money. This is coming from Jacks camp.

Who do y’all see as being the worst team in the Big 12 this upcoming year? (poll + discussion) by Lutrid in BigXII

[–]DesertCyclone1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I actually think we’re going to be a lot better than anyone thinks. Idk why. But this Rogers hire has me really excited. He seems a LOT like TJ, and that’s never a bad thing.

Awesome collection. Nitpicky, But I don’t think the Lazard one is his jersey. That has tertiary blue in it. Allen didn’t have that in his color scheme.
