Other winners: The fans. Cuz now we get to hope that Hulk can finally get a podium. : )
Don’t Jinx it
By how things are looking at sauber he has a better chance with Haas
@espvp it's not about now. It's about 2026 and beyond
That’s a big ask, to presume either the Audi PU or chassis will have a concrete chance of a podium, let alone both.
Oh for sure. We will more than likely be disappointed again and again. But there is that slight chance that he has a better shot there than Haas. @@mitchdaytonam3
Fred Vasseur: "Im building an army." Audi: "We have a hulk."
This is why we need more teams in the next 3 years
For the likes of Bottas, Zhou and Tsunoda? Thanks I pass.
@@tarisznyanice 😂😂
@@tarisznyai think you'd be absolutely shocked to hear that you could give drivers outside of F1 a seat as well
Tsunoda will stay for another year Ricciardo not so much
Seriously that's so dumb just look at the disparity between teams right now, more teams will mean battle for the last place
I love how theres TBC(Lance Stroll) in the graphic 😂
spoiled rich kids as usual decide to do what they want when they want at their own whim
@@jamesdrummond7684blame his dad for spoiling him, he bought his way into f1 and paved the way for his son. At least Lance has had his moments here and there (been a while tho)
I dont think he will be there stroll doesn’t own aston for him self there are other stakeholders and partners such as aramco and so on they will put pressure on him for sure with out lance i think aston can be top 3 for sure
Bottas +Williams reunion ❤
probably gonna sign Antonelli
Its a shame for Bottas because he’s been consistently outperforming the machinery he’s been given. Hope he gets a seat somewhere else if not Audi
Bottas back at Mercedes while Antonelli spends some time in williams?
@@greenfj1466 nah he was asked in an interview specifically about this and he said only if its a long term deal not a 1 or 2 year contract.
I really hope this is a positive step forward for Nico.. he's one of those guys that just can't get into a good car .. so it would be cool for him to be in a good car and see him lay down awesome results.. he deserves it ...
Bearman needs top 3 in F2 this year, good news for the Hulk and Audi
Remember back in the early 2000s and before when the grid was at full occupancy and teams were begging to get a spot? I don’t know what’s happened since then but those days need to return, far too few seats for talented drivers that should be on the grid annually.
The technical regulations are too expensive to comply with. We also had at that time the 4 manufacturers of today, plus BMW, Toyota, Cosworth (Ford), thanks to that.
Well they rejected Andretti for no good reason. The teams just want a larger cut of the money so they won't let a new team in.
I swear if hulk gets his podium imma name my first born son hulk by second name
I don't think it's a lost for Valtteri. I'm pretty much sure mate will stay. Despite his recent performance, Valtteri is a 10-time winner, and that adds value to pair him with Hulk.
Apparently Audi has already offered a rather fat deal to Sainz so all he has to say is "yes". If I were Sainz I'd bite unless he can take Hamiltons' seat at Mercedes (Because Russell hasn't quite shown world champion form yet they'd likely be treated as equals). Recent years have shown that you don't want to be second fiddle to Max Verstappen.
@@WeerknuffelbeerSainz would probably beat russel Honestly but that just shows the calibre of leclerc. If I was Sainz i would go to Audi because RB isnt a good environment for anyone who isn't max apart from Alonso or Leclerc and Mercedes doesn't seem great
I mean, bearman did well in Jeddah, but he's been pretty ass in F2
Prema being sh*te hasn't helped either
I really do see Bottas going to Merc on the old 1 year deal, letting Russell finally be #1 at Merc. He was at Brackley the day after Hamilton to Ferrari was announced... Sainz to Audi (also finally being #1). That way Kimi has time to mature in F1, Bottas a seat and Sainz protagonism he wants (probably). Everyone happy with drivers they actually trust with the job
This makes sense, some of these fans think grabbing a young driver and sticking him in a top tier team is the solution when they have no experience compared to seasoned drivers
Lmao what are these paid comments
No one pays for comments.
You mean bots...
@@ngc-fo5te The comment section is full of half naked chicks as profile pics...
@@Legend57. Which outside of advertising spams don't exist on here.
@@ngc-fo5te Just scroll down the comment section and you'll see them
Given the Haas performance this season, and Audi's essential management incompetence, this might be a trade-down for Hulk.
Management incompetence? Nah bruh. Audi are probably some of the most disciplined when it come to winning.
Look at Dakar. They were in the competition for two years and won. It could've been a 1-2 buh had flat tires with the other car.
So they made sure that the other car won no matter what.
That's management competence
What are Bottas’ chances for a 2025 seat? I guess maybe Haas if Bearman doesnt go there, which he most likely will. Maybe Sauber might still keep him alongside with Hulk for 2025?
I think Merc is out of the question, Williams maybe might want a veteran driver to replace Sargeant.
Hulk on the podium in a Sauber/Audi? I doubt it but damn do I want it! If (in the unlikely event) he gets his first podium, I'll be crying for him; he REALLY deserves it and tbh, F1 really needs it!
He only deserves it, if he earns it. He has never even got close, so he absolutely doesn't deserve it yet.
Why do we just assume Audi is going to be world beaters off the rip?
Audi has had success in just about every motorsports discipline they have entered so..
@@andrewakker4833 means fk all, since this is F1 and not other motorsports
@@KingofClubsMCDLXXXVIII so Le Mans, LMP1, GT3, DTM, WRC. Innovating the use of AWD in rally. Pioneering using a turbodiesel at Le Mans, means nothing. What an unintelligent statement.
@@andrewakker4833 past success does not guarantee future success
@@andrewakker4833 Formula 1 doesn't allow innovations anymore because of a strict ruleset + the budget cap. All the cars look the same and have the same engine configuration. What Audi achieved in other motorsport won't come as handy in F1.
Yay! Nico gets to stay in F1 ❤!
If Max leaves RB they could hold a destruction derby between the many drivers wanting the spot, though Stroll has been practising already
We definately need more teams in F1 like we use to as good drivers are finding it harder to get seats
I just got into F1 end of last year start of this year and the amount of support for hulkenburg is great after just getting into it all you see is the top 5 getting credit
I suspected this for some time. At my local branch of Aldi, Nico started doing the early shift about 8 weeks ago. He certainly has reduced the queues at the checkout.
Bottas is a top driver on the market now
“Top” is debatable
Bottas isn't a top driver on the market unfortunately. He might not have a seat after this season. 🥲😭
@@ratuldeoun7228that doesn't mean he is not a top driver
@@JnManuelAGTop drivers are the very best of F1,Bottas cannot compete with Max,Alonso or Leclerc. I know he seems extremely good in stake but that just tells us that top drivers are better than good
@@greenfj1466 Bottas can beat Leclerc wdym. Give him a proper car and you'll see. His time at Mercedes proves that
Excellent news coverage !
Bearman to Haas is a mistake. It's where rookies go to have their dreams crushed.
We need more teams. Imagine 4 or 6 more driver slots on the grid, the ammount of talent and possibilities that could from from thst.
Please make a full video about this
What would they talk about? Already discussed everything there was to in this short.
At 7:30 you should've put "gentlemen, a short view back to the past"
Bottas can beat Max and Lewis at the same time if he's having a good day
awesome video!!
Congrats on Hulk for his podium!!!
I'm glad they recognized Hulkenberg's talent Really hope Hulkenberg can get podiums in 2026
They really help hulk to win
Red Bull chooses between Perez and Sainz.
Mercedes chooses between Sainz and Albon.
Audi chooses between Sainz, Albon, and Gasly.
Jhou was never in question
I just wish the best for sainz
Comments go crazy
Ferrari is mad for losing sainz. He's a superior driver to leclerc.
I reckon, Sainz also to Sauber 2025. Bottas back in the Merc seat (for 1 season or so) and Zouh idk. Bearman is the guy in that new Haas seat
Good on Hulk!
I wonder where Valtteri will end up in the 2025 season. I remember hearing somewhere that Lewis Hamilton would like Valtteri at Mercedes again
I don't think this changes anything for Magnussen, he is still at risk. I'd put my coins on Zhou replacing him because he is growing in China.
Totally agree, Zhou should be a nobrainier. He been relative a good driver. And VW has lost market hold in China the last years because Chinese EV uprising . Having a Chinese driver in a Audi should definitely boost sales in China.
I doubt Audi are going be "win" competitive in their first years, so they need the extreme top drivers.
Idc about the new sauber drivers tbh i just want zhou to keep a seat in f1 cuz he worked really hard to get to f1 harder then all the other drivers so he atleast deserve a seat if its not sauber then atleast give him the seat to Williams
Yes... He is so podium worthy. He maybe as good as the top drivers given the right equipment
Losing experienced f1 drivers for bearman is just a setback for the team. Ocon or gasley bottas already shown they can perform with a better car. Whatever that’s F1
Seeing the name ‘Lewis Hamilton’ in Ferrari is so odd
F1 never was so ridiculous as actual days
Genuine question, why isnt Pourchaire being considered for the Audi seat? With him being a sauber driver wont he become an Audi academy driver?
Bearman, solid 19th place in F2 right now. Why don`t they take the champions like druggovich into the grid??
No way they resigned these old drivers
man how much i would have loved to see lando and max on the same team
I'd imagine Bearman pulling what Pedro Acosta did in MotoGP, became a championship contender in a backmarker team. Sure Haas probably bottled it, But Bearman is a much more consistent driver than Mick.
Is it a good thing for Sainz? It seems like there's more pressure on him now
I can’t help but think that Bottas’ mullet cost him the seat.
Please replace stroll PLEASE😢
Hope KMag keeps the seat🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
I mean it was basically confirmed since jeddah when komatsu said he will get bearman in haas for 2025, either the german to the german team or they drop kmag. Hulks move made more sense. Tbh i think bottas will retire and zhou will get dropped, and means either sainz will go to audi if a red bull seat isnt there or they will finally get theo pourchaire in f1.
Bottas won't retire he probably would get an offer from Williams...I mean with Logan crashing it makes sense. Otherwise he would be retained by Sauber...only time will tell
They gonna do like Mercedes on 2010 with German drivers
Bro didn't even mention theo porchea 😂
What are Zhou's prospects of remaining? He has had little opportunity to truly prove his worth, but I imagine his sponsorship value is worth a loooot..
Sorry for the rookie question, but what is Sauber's engine situation for
next season? 1 year before becoming Audi, with their own Audi engine,
will they still get the (slightly detuned) Ferrari engine, like Haas? Or
the (in theory!) same engine as Ferrari? Or a "lesser" engine than
Haas?
I believe they will run continue with Ferrari until the new Engine standards in 2026.
Wait I Thought Carlos was In talks with Audi last year and that Audi Starts in 2026 ?
Nico hulk and mick just like Nico rosberg and Michael Schumacher when the Mercedes started
Was expecting Audi to sign Carlos might still be possible but seems unlikely. Also depends in the car perfomance ... He can now be the Merc driver we are looking for. Haas and Carlos is just not appropriate a top order driver in middle order is just non-progressive
I might actually drop F1 after this, imagine recycling the same old washed folks over and over again ffs
If only a new team joined the grid and gave more drivers more chances.
Bearman is not good enough, and that's saying it very politely
I’d say Sainz isn’t a winner in this as it’s more pressure from Audi to sign up and complete the lineup.
It’s tricky with Redbull because in 2025 Sainz would be absolutely slapped down by Verstappen, and then after that either he’ll be slapped down by Verstappen or Verstappen will have left and then maybe Sainz could lead Redbull, but they wouldn’t be winning if it got to that point
Everyone is a winner. Audi gets an experienced German driver. Hulkenberg gets to extend his career in a home team. And the rest of us get to watch another back marker. Maybe my comment won't age well, we will see. 😂
Didn’t hulk get a podium in Brazil 2022?
How is this a win for Sainz.? Audi now has a Hulkenberg and one less seat
Sorry, I do not understand why Sainz is coming out as a winner from this situation?
Bearman hasn’t been great in F2.
Be wild if Max and sir Hamilton were teammates driving for Audi near the end of 2027. Got a feeling Audi car is gonna give the RB’S a run for money.
I think that's highly unlikely......no one, not even Audi are going to hit the ground running in the top four teams.
@@CosmicSeeker69 you’re right I wasn’t thinking about what year it was!! But around 2030 maybe lol I know it’s a far far thing from happening.
Don't get how Sainz is a winner, he looses out in this situation as it just means there's less options open to him.
Bottas and zhou not showing anything to keep them
Red Bull: Verstappen and Vettel
McLaren: Norris and Piastri
Aston Martin Aramco: Alonso and car 2 driver vacant
Ferrari: Leclerc and Hamilton
Mercedes-EQ Vestas: Car 1 driver vacant and Russell
Verstappen Racing: Lawson and Tsunoda
Haas: Car 1 and 2 driver vacant
Sauber: Di Grassi and Sainz
Williams: Albon and car 1 driver vacant
Alpine (soon to be BMW): Car 1 and 2 driver vacant
Great for Hulk but Sainz if signed would be their number 1 driver, i hope Audi can shake F1 up.
Based on what exactly? Sainz is hugely overrated nowadays it‘s actually insane. Both of them were teammates in 2018 and guess who won that fight in points, rqce h2h and quali h2h? Hülk was on average 1.5 tenths faster than Sainz that year.
I hope Audi steps in starts to dominate like Audi does best.
Sainz, Bottas, Zhou without seats while Lance Stroll and Logan Sargeant still driving is unfair
Why is he so rated? Other than experience he has achieved nothing in F1. Bottas is a far better choice for the first few years, his experience with Mercedes would be highly valuable.
Haas will ruin Bearman like they did with Mick.
The only two that were right is Hulk and Bearman LOL everything else was littearly the opposite of what you said, no wonder F1 removed
'the race" from being able to get media passes LMFAOOOOO
I hope Berman won't join Has. He will lose his shit in that car
Riccardo should've been chosen or bottas...
.they are race winners!!!
I don't think Sainz is a winner at all for this. It's one less seat for him. The walls are closing in.
HAAS should resign Mick Schumacher. He won F2, Bearman literally just qualified well in 1 F2 race.
Or Robert Schwartzman.
Mick has had his chance and could not raise his game
I dun think Haas loses. Having Nico was never gonna be permenant and now with Nico settled he can go 100% in 2024 for Haas to be the best of the rest.
Sainz is joining him
I hope Audi Sauber go bold and choose either Pourchaire or Maloney as Hulkenberg's teammate but this is a team in total mediocrity so I'm not getting my hopes up.
Audi chooses guy who has never stood on a podium to be the lead driver…should have went with Bottas.
Maybe I’ll get proven wrong
This means that Zhou is out, probably also Bottas
We see it in Audi
SEBASTIAN, SEBASTIAN, SEBASTIAN, SEBASTIAN, SEBASTIAN, SEBASTIAN, SEBASTIAN, SEBASTIAN, SEBASTIAN
Newey to Audi. Book it.
Guess Audi's expecting to be mid
When will see audi at the grid, 2026?
Hulk/Sianx
What’s with all the comments from fake profiles lol
What fake profiles? How do you know a fake profile?
Oh yay, just another old man taking up room for tons of rookies, the man should retire, along with plenty of other drivers that just refuse to retire even though they aren't performing anymore. I'm not saying Nico id a bad driver, I'm saying theres too many drivers that are trying to stick around when they should be leaving.
