The Dutch GP might be in danger next week. Because it is probable that taxi drivers might protest for the whole race weekend which would prevent the race from taking place according to the source.
I hope such thing doesn't happen and there would be an agreement between sides. Because due to not having the right certification many taxi drivers are unlikely to be accepted to the circuit. This might lead to protesting the whole race weekend which can result in the cancellation of the race there.
Hopefully this doesn't happen after leaving a long break behind. Despite Verstappen's domination I have missed watching races honestly.

It wasn't really that big of an advantage anymore, 2021 was really close between Red Bull and Mercedes. And the FIA thinking that the 2022 specs would be better for F1 because it would remove the dirty air and make it easier to over take were wrong. Pretty sure Adrian Newey found a couple of loop holes here and there and took advantage of it. I'll say it again, if F1 stayed with the 2021 specs for a couple more years we would have had a couple more exciting seasons.
As for the way things are now, it's isn't really good and 2026 is a long way off.

Attention, they changed the rule in the winter of 2020.
In the 2021 they got the new car with -30% drag on the back of the car.
It is only for this reason RBR won the title otherwise Mercedes kept the dominance.
Yeah you're right... But I doubt Mercedes would've kept their dominance. Adrian Newey was onto something during the 2021 season that's why it was so close between them and Mercedes. And as far as I know, usually it's Toto Wolff who lobbies for technical spec changes. :/ Not sure but anybody can look it up online.

I don't think anyone will be able to catch up with Red Bull including next season. I hope that we see seasons with Hamilton-Verstappen competition much more in the future.
It depends on what FIA will do in the next months, remember the 1st title of Verstappen.
Fia killed the Mercedes advantage cutting the read drag by 30% in a few months.
FIA won't do anything unfortunately until 2026 so most likely we will continue to see the dominance of Redbull but lately we have a good precedent,that of a McLaren performing really well after the team managed to hit the right upgrades to the car within the actual regulations,I think if other teams clearly double or triple up their effort to build a winning car we may still have a remote chance of seeing some team stopping the complete ridiculous Redbull domination which is making the season one of the most boring ever,I think this one is even more boring than 2009 when Brawn GP won races by a huge distance in seconds gap.

If Red Bull were also close to the other teams we could have watched a quite competitive season in Formula 1 this season. However Verstappen is killing the feeling of competition by dominating the races completely and doing great things with the car he has.

I think right now it is McLaren and in the last race they made an error in the setup as they wanted to win the race if there would be enough intense rain,
Yea, but all the teams are close, with just a single update gaining 2-3 tens of a second you can change from eight to the second team.
Look at Aston Martin at the start of the season and now, they were the second team now they are the 5th or worse.

I really want to see Leclerc at a good team except Ferrari very much. I trust him for his showing us what he can do under pressure and how he can challenge with Verstappen while he has also a good car. If Red Bull bring a driver like Leclerc in Perez's place I'm wondering how Verstappen would react to this as well. Many people must still have the incidents happened in Webber/Vettel time in mind.
Besides RBR all the other teams are at the same level, all the cars are fast or slow depending on the track they are running.
I can't see really who is the second-best option after RBR.
I think right now it is McLaren and in the last race they made an error in the setup as they wanted to win the race if there would be enough intense rain,they aimed for that and that is why it looked like they were struggling,they designed the car setup to be a winning one if heavy rain would have been possible in Belgium.
You will see in this track in Netherlands if it does not rain and they make a normal setup of the car,they will definitely be after Redbull and most likely they will be beating all the other teams.This does not mean though that the things will continue this way,this may change but so far only McLaren has worked much better than the other teams in this direction.
The problem with McClaren its you never know how really well they are, seems like now they are more solid than before, but i see them walking backwards after good reaces. But yes right now seems like the only team who found a path to the correct upgrade and develop of the car for the future and next races.

RBR is already thinking about the next years.
Yesterday they did an interview sayng the are not working anymore on this year's car.
Now we understood they are looking for a new driver for 2025 and it can be one outside Perez and Riccardo.

Who tho? All I can think about that's not Perez and Ricciardo is the other Alpha Tauri boy which seems to be a long shot of getting in the first team imho. A possbility is somebody who's unhappy with Ferrari who might be looking for an out... Leclerc.
And just wondering... If it's to be Ricciardo moving up to RBR, would the Vettel clout come into play and get Mick Schumacher at Alpha Tauri? I heard he was trying to get Mick in Aston Martin after he left.

RBR is already looking ahead to the future like a team with a crystal ball. In a recent interview, they spilled the beans that they've parked their wrenches when it comes to this year's car. It's like they're playing F1 chess, scouting for a new driver for the 2025 season, and it's anyone's guess who will slide into the cockpit – could be someone other than Perez or Ricciardo, maybe they're secretly summoning a Formula 1 unicorn!

After the break began we started to have speculations about drivers right away.
Leclerc is speculated to be signing a new contract with Ferrari soon. It is reported to be at least two years and there might be an option to extend it more as well. Despite all that problems at Ferrari he still wants to fight for Ferrari's success seemingly. I don't know if he is doing the right thing to be honest. Because it is really difficult to predict if Ferrari would change in the future. They need to take important steps to put an end to this nonsense mistakes once and for all.

I don't think it will be the right choice for him,or he will be another "sacrificed" driver of the so many who have been doing the same thing and I can name big names here like,Irvine,Vettel and Alonso who spent several years at Ferrari when Ferrari was even better than now and could not win the title.I think it would be the best for him to wait and to just extend for one year more with Ferrari and not two years while by doing so he will have more opportunities for him as he is still a relatively young driver and having chances to move to a better car is always to have so I would suggest him that.
Maybe he can't imagine himself at any other team on the grid now. That might be why he is seeing Ferrari as the best option for himself. He will be the number one driver at Ferrari if he extends his contract as well. Because Sainz is very likely to join Audi by 2026 season as it has been all over the news.
In this situation Leclerc will most probably have a companion which won't have the same status with Sainz. I mean there is going to be a hierarchy once again. I'm afraid this really seems like the best idea in this sport otherwise it makes things more difficult for a team to have a driver being the champion.

It's exactly how Vettel's RedBull sounded a decade ago. Just search videos on youtube and listen to the engine and you will find out that the sound is almost the same and I do think there is something irregular with RedBull engine but we will never know for sure.
Also , last friday there was an FIA investigation about RedBull car and guess what...a few hours after that , there was nothing to investigate because Redbull changed those 2 important parts and they got a grid penalty instead...so I don't know , I really don't like and never liked to see a long domination from a car or a driver.

Yeah, it was called Blowing Effect and it has been banned in F1 cause its overpowered effect.
It will be interesting to know if RBR has found a way to use this effect in another way or it is a similar effect.
