Is someone getting the WCCs and WDCs mixed up or am I missing something?

I suppose they seem similar at first glance, especially for casual fans.

Or those who support Max and ignore the truth, they seem unable to handle factual information thus I presume are easily confused. BUT at least it looks like I have found another to add to the Do Not Respond to List...

Hard to defend that Toto has done a good job of late tho. Three away the title in 2021 with a bad strategy call and produced two bad cars since, plus lost a bit sponsor and a major outflow of talent. I

Rumours from Brackley are it’s not a happy camp at present

My cousin works there, not what I hear. They put a lot of effort into HR, keeping the staff happy and involved. All of them know they went the wrong way with a car trying to get around the rules that favoured the high rake cars and not them, and that had a knock on for this year.
Some new stuff coming apparently.

Spoke to my cousin last night. "Max/RB fan I suppose. Tell him he's talking bks"

Verstappen is working towards entering his own GT3 endurance racing team in 2025. Probably running two Ferrari 296 GT3 cars. He's been out testing one https://en.endurance-info.com/auto/article/109889-...



He's not interested in a single seat racing setup through karting, F3, F2. He's more interested in a path from sim racing to endurance racing.

He's interested in racing Le Mans , and potentially with Alonso , that would be in LMP1 , interesting who the third driver would be ?

epic to have Lewis in the team , three F1 champions driving at Le Mans in the same team would be epic

Lmp1 has ended it's HyperCars now and Lewis has no interest in Motorsport outside F1. Once he's done with F1 you won't see him racing much else.

Max clearly reaping a return on his SIM hobby.

Lewis has limited talent / interest in street production based cars. Prefers being chauffeured around the mean streets.

LeMans team Max / Alonso + Leclerc or Norris would be pretty special.

I know that people here are on the wind up but to cut the st- if you can drive a current Formula 1 single seater at Formula 1 level, you can drive any current circuit race car to an exceptional standard. Why do you think everyone speculates that Lance Stroll can achieve success after F1 in endurance racing.

I don't follow WEC in particular but I knew that recent champions would back up my point. Brendon Hartley and Sebastian Buemi in the Hypercar class. Louis Deletraz and Robert Kubica in LMP2.

A crew of F1 drivers- take your pick- in the right car will clean up. Because Formula 1 drivers are the best circuit racing drivers.

He also had the R8 GT3 and 911 GT3 there

Not even attempting to hide the piss taking, wind ups & trolling now, a sad stain on the PH forums

Leave him to it… he, and a few others, are always going to do it. Best ignored.

never say never

Lewis and Seb together with Alessandro Pier Guidi in a Ferrari 499 P for 2025 Le Mans



Alonso and Max with Sébastien Buemi Toyota Gazoo racing

Remember Lewis on Top Gear how competitive he was , I imagine he would be pushing Max to attain fastest lap

either way it would be a hell of a race ,
Alonso was super competitive last time he raced the sarth

After F1 Lewis wants to hang out with his rap friends in the USA and become a fashion designer:

Karting can be said to be the foundation of the Verstappens and mama Sophie Kumpen. Max is sponsoring his friend on GT, who in turn is his manager son.

It seems likely, given Hamilton's work with his commission, other business interests, and charity connections that he will not 'hang out with his rap friends' for a living.

It will be interesting to see what he does.

This seems to suggest he either wants to work in the medical field, or as a engineer installing gas lines. Either way, both respectable careers.

Wow, look at his variance to average. That's the difference and why he's so good on a Sunday in F1
