Lewis Hamilton rated at to return for season. Pierre Gasly knows there are plenty of uncertainties over how teams will interpret the new incoming rules in F1 and it could see teams fire up the leaderboard early on - or slide the other way.
The decision of Michael Masi, the race director, to unlap only the cars between Max Verstappen and Hamilton, who was leading at the time, was seen as a very obvious move to inject last-lap drama into the championship fight. Montoya was a winner in Monaco in and while he has won the 24 Hours of Daytona on three occasions, he has not repeated that success at Le Mans. The Australian star says travelling around the world and being away from family and friends can take their toll on F1 drivers.
He could do anything or whatever. But as you know, you guys would feel it, we travel so much that you do miss loved ones. So having that kind of times 10 is tricky. After a thrilling season which saw Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen dominate throughout, F1 has drafted in new regulations to shake up the sport in pursuit of greater variance.
The sport will see a change to the aerodynamic composition of the cars. While simplified front and rear wings should result in minimal turbulent air created as well as enabling cars to follow through technical sections across all the circuits on the schedule. And after much discussion and debate surrounding rear wings and more stringent FIA tests, Key has shed light on the impact they will have next season. The Formula One race director is under pressure following a series of controversial decisions at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
I worked hard over the winter to make a lot of these improvements. One thing that made me very happy is seeing the improvements actually quite obviously have an effect and take place and show straight away in terms of results. Christian Horner has leaped to the defence of Max Verstappen by accusing Damon Hill of losing impartiality while analysing Formula 1 this season.
Riccardo Ceccarelli, the founder of Formula Medicine. The head of the sports medicine centre in Viareggio believes the Belgian-Dutch driver has greater self-confidence, though the Briton has assembled a larger support team. He has huge self-confidence.
You can see by the team radio how much he talks. He is looking for security, asking what the strategy is. Max never does this. We saw with the Brazilian flag, And he has a physio who is always with him. Nobody knows who the physio is for Max. He needs himself. It makes a big difference in terms of how you can race them and overtake and stuff. They should be further ahead.
So of course, I want the team to be up there. Looking forward to our stay this week, HiltonHonors. Is he going to beat me in every single qualifying or race of the season?
There have still been some races where he has been quicker than me and qualifying sessions where he has been a bit quicker. Once he clicks and finds his way and so on, I hope to still be quicker than him. Say hello to my new home! The place isn't finished yet but I'll be living here in Monaco when I'm not in the factory or at the track next year. I get the keys at the end of next month so will hopefully be moving in soon. Really excited for this next chapter! We will always try to race at the limits of what we are allowed to do.
A post shared by Carlos Sainz carlossainz If you do, the problem is not him, the problem is you. So from my point of view, the pressure will be more on Lewis. That would be incredible drama for the finale in Abu Dhabi, given the incurred five-place grid penalty. But Red Bull will explore every possibility, including Honda assisting with a fresh engine to seal the title.
It was the first time since I competed in Super Formula in Japan in I hope that there will be more successes of this kind in the future. I got a taste for it. Those battles defined F1 in the late s and early s, with iconic seasons in and eventually decided by chaotic penultimate-round collisions in Japan.

How impressed were you by Carlossainz55 's debut Ferrari season? The fourth season of Drive to Survive will be put on Netflix ahead of the season. There is no official release date yet, but it is expected to come out in March. There is nothing I am looking forward to more in than seeing the last episode of Drive to Survive covering Abu Dhabi. But hopefully they come back. The FIA are leading a full inquiry into what happened and will provide their findings to the teams by February 3.
Rosberg retired after winning the F1 world title for Mercedes in , denying Hamilton a third successive championship. And Villeneuve believes the Brit could opt to make a similarly surprising decision before the season gets underway. Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton battled it out for the title and finished more than points ahead of their nearest challenger.
And Pierre Gasly enjoyed a successful season with Alpha Tauri in ninth, while two-time champion Fernando Alonso squeezed into the top 10 with Alpine. Sainz performed well for McLaren but moved to Ferrari to replace Sebastian Vettel for the season. He ended up with more points than Charles Leclerc and Norris believes his former McLaren colleague could win the world title if given the right car.
That motivates me to keep improving. Based on the numbers and results, I have delivered a better performance than anyone else in this team. It disappoints me, of course. I know what I want to achieve in this sport. I want to fight at the top. I continue to give full throttle and believe in myself.

But The Times report that the Briton is ramping up training to remain in shape in his mountain home in Colorado.
Hamilton is also expected to take part in the pre-season testing next month in Barcelona and in Bahrain in March. The new rules could see the likes of Haas, AlphaTauri and Williams put in solid performances which could cause upsets for Mercedes and Red Bull.
F1 , we're coming for you! But it was the right decision to let them race. If you want to think about it carefully, on the first lap of that race he [Hamilton] went off the circuit and came back on again and Verstappen stayed on the circuit and did absolutely nothing wrong. These things happen all the time in sports. Max Verstappen was able to pass Lewis Hamilton on the final lap of the season to win the title - a move which was helped by the decisions of FIA race director Michael Masi.
