Though this one is terrible... :mrgreen:
I think he is better than what we saw so far. Haas is generally a bad team for drivers to show something. I think he should take another chance if you consider drivers like Stroll, Tsunoda and that Chinese guy are driving.

This is an absurd statement. Tsunoda has turned it up this year and Zhou, yes you can say his name, has been coming along decently as well.

I think it is previous obvious to me that Mag was better than Schu last year and that the Hulk is an improvement on Mag. So I'm not sure what you're talking about exactly. Personally I think that Mag is in trouble over at Haas.

I think McLaren will now have data in the MCL35M at Portimao for Ricciardo, Norris, Piastri, Palou, Herta, O’Ward, and Schumacher (maybe others too, who knows). Obviously they’re not all on the same day so you can’t do a 1:1 comparison, but I would absolutely love to see what that data shows.

I’ll be very surprised if they are within championship contention in ‘25.
Looking early at the new ‘26 regs might be a good idea though
If things go according to plan for McLaren then I expect they might be in with a chance of getting close to fighting for the championships or be not far behind the top 3 teams. The aerodynamics for 2026 haven't yet been finalised last time I looked. I expect all the teams are looking at '26 in terms of the aerodynamics and the engine regulation changes. I think that's what James Allison was working on for Mercedes until recently.

look at how close teams are now, with stable regulations for the next 2 years I expect the gap to keep closing, so by 2025 perhaps we could have a real title fight between half the grid, with driver ability playing a key part

Samsung Galaxy have been there before (beach ball helmet for sure) - I think it's part of the Android deal rather than having Samsung as a partner - they can vary what Android devices they choose to promote.
