    We stopped acknowledging those fake, pompous “titles” on this side of the pond since 1776 ;)

    “Sir” my ass! :D

    Yet they say nothing about His Sex-Text Messageness being virtually 'titled' now as well LOL! Hilarious, those pics of Horner immediately after that mess hit the press were priceless. He was white as a ghost and meek as a mouse. His utter nature exposed.

    Red Bull boss Christian Horner is on the brink of knighthood after being named in the last year's New Year's Honours list. Oh no! Read below LOL.

    --The 51-year-old received a CBE for his services to motorsport to move just one step away from joining Mercedes rival Lewis Hamilton as a knight.

    Just further proof it’s a nonsense, politically motivated fake title bought or handed out for show.

    I dunno. "Sir Horny," "Sir Horndog," and "Sir Hornicator" all have really nice rings to them.

    "Sir Wanker" or is that being reserved for Lance?

    They should have knighted the cars that he drove instead.

    You mean the ones capable of winning, that he drove consistently to win.
    I want the best for Ferrari with LH. Its their call to hire. This may not work but I hope it does. We have seen enough years of no titles. We suffered with Kimi phoning it in. Vettel choking with a fast car etc. Time for winning. I dont care who the drivers are. They need to win.

    There’s a difference between a car that’s “capable of winning” and one that’s easily able to lap the entire field. Let’s all stop deifying the man. It’s embarrassing.

    Bernie is sharper than LH and Liberty.

    Yes and no driver wants a winning car lol. Try another sport. This is not news. Max won how many races in 23??? Think before you post.

    That was literally one season and when did Max lap the entire field? Check for condescension before you post.

    We have made any bets on how many, if any, races Lewis wins at Ferrari this year??

    I vote: 1 race win

    Too soon to tell really. I'm sure he'll also get at least one win also. 8 wins? Lol, not unless Ferrari gives him a car that is light years beyond the competition. Hopefully he helps get the WCC but doesn't even come close to sniffing the WDC.

    He's bumped a bit in the Vegas WDC odds from +800 to +550

    • Max Verstappen - +220
    • Lando Norris - +220
    • Charles Leclerc - +460
    • Lewis Hamilton - +550
    • Oscar Piastri - +850

    I say 0 race wins for Hamilton in 2025 due to a number of reasons:

    1) The last time Ferrari used a pull-rod front suspension was in 2015, so that's a 10 year gap.

    2) Ferrari is still struggling with correlation issues from what's being tested in the wind tunnel to what's actually going on the track

    3) How will the SF-25 eats its tires in ALL compounds? Or prolong them? given this new front suspension setup(pull-rod).

    4) Then you have Max, Lando, Pisatri, Russell, Leclerc fighting up in the front. Lawson and Antonelli are maybe's but definitely in the mix since they have a somewhat "consistent car" with " consistent teams." Alonso MIGHT also be in the mix as well.

    So again, Ferrari definitely have a new car. It's just a matter of will Ferrari and its drivers capitalize on the cars performance or will it be another year of falling in 3rd or 4th place.

    As it stands, Ferrari and the tifosi are in the honeymoon phase and everything looks good so far. Wait till the first 4 to 5 races happens and see how the tifosi and the Italian papers react if it doesn't pan out for 1 or both drivers.

    All valid points Joe, but the tire wear woes of 2023 appear to be behind them; and after the post Monaco slump Ferrari finished 2024 strongly. I am genuinely optimistic for 2025.

    Thanks. I'm going into 2025 where "I'll believe it when I see it."

    With regards to the tires, like I said, this is a completely different car(SF-25). If you look at the pull-rod angle compared to Mclarens pull-rod angle, McLaren seems to be ahead of the game given last years car performance.

    I also failed to mention that on a per season points basis vs Hamilton, Russell is 2 to 1(3 years) over Hamilton. I rate Leclerc above Russell btw.
