Good news re signing Oscar longer term, I think.... Though have a niggling feeling Macca would be better off with a No1 driver and strong 2nd driver. As things are now, we could have an internal battle that could dilute both championships. But, early days.

I am really surprised that Piastri signed with term. Lando has been holding his own there. And there could be opportunities at the other big teams. Will Lawson and Antonelli work out ? Who knows. Will hamilton finish his contract or retire mid season ? I could see him retiring.

I would take it as a promising sign for the 2026 prospects and beyond, especially since he was already signed up till the end of 2026. If he feels there's a good chance McLaren will be front running long term, why would he leave? Look at Daniel Ricciardo, we can now all agree that leaving Red Bull was the worst decision of his career, even though he made a lot of money. I'm happy that Oscar, like Lando has bought into the project.
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?
Kimi Raikkonen: I can only drive one car, obviously.

Given current weather forecast let's hope we will get to see a proper race.
Seems very rainy on Sunday right around race start time.
