BOTTAS RETURNS TO MERCEDES IN 2025! 🏎️✨

Sergio Spinoza / Formula 1, Motorsports / en / December 19, 2024

Finnish driver Valtteri Bottas is heading back to his former team, Mercedes-AMG Petronas, as a reserve driver for the 2025 Formula 1 season. This announcement comes after his departure from Kick Sauber, following the conclusion of his contract after the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. A SECOND CHANCE AT MERCEDES 🌟 After competing for five seasons with the Silver Arrows alongside Lewis Hamilton, where he secured 10 victories and 20 pole positions, Bottas returns to the team aiming to contribute his experience and remain active in the F1 world. Mercedes has decided to reintegrate the Finnish driver as a third driver, a crucial role supporting its main drivers, George Russell and young debutant Kimi Antonelli. Bottas expressed his excitement: “Coming back home to the Mercedes family as the third driver for 2025 is what’s next, and I couldn’t be happier.” CHALLENGES AND EXPERIENCES AT KICK SAUBER 🔄 After leaving Mercedes in 2021, Bottas joined the Sauber team, then known as Alfa Romeo. Although he began his tenure with a solid 10th place finish in 2022, subsequent seasons proved challenging. In 2024, Bottas finished without scoring any points, and Sauber opted not to renew his contract, instead signing Nico Hülkenberg and Brazilian rookie Gabriel Bortoleto for the 2025 season. Bottas’ transition to his new role at Mercedes will keep him close to the action while he considers a possible return as a full-time driver in 2026. BOTTAS’ ROLE AT MERCEDES 🎯 As a reserve driver, Bottas will attend most of the Grands Prix, contributing to the team’s development and supporting Russell and Antonelli in achieving their on-track goals. Additionally, the Finnish driver will bring his invaluable technical expertise, garnered over 12 years in Formula 1. Team principal Toto Wolff highlighted Bottas’ positive impact: “Valtteri was key to our five consecutive championship wins during his time with us. His ability to provide technical feedback and his character make him an invaluable resource for the team.” A NEW ERA FOR THE SILVER ARROWS ⚡ With Bottas on board, Mercedes strengthens its lineup during a critical phase for the team. Russell, solidified as the team leader, will aim to fight for the championship, while Kimi Antonelli, a promising talent, will make his debut in the premier category. The return of the Finnish driver represents a key asset for Mercedes-AMG Petronas, as the team strives to maintain its position as a top contender in the Constructors’ Championship and renew its fight for world titles. A FUTURE FULL OF HOPE 🚀 Bottas’ return symbolizes both a tribute to his successful past and a strategic move toward the future. His experience and dedication make him an essential ally in Mercedes’ efforts to reclaim the pinnacle of motorsport. As the 2025 season shapes up to be thrilling, Bottas’ role as a reserve driver will be critical for the car’s development and the team’s performance.

NO PATO AT THE AUTÓDROMO HERMANOS RODRÍGUEZ 🚫🇲🇽 Mexican driver Patricio O’Ward, a star of IndyCar with the Arrow McLaren team, has confirmed he will not be present at the Mexico E-Prix, scheduled for January 11, 2025, at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. The announcement was made by O’Ward himself on his X account (formerly Twitter), where he expressed his disappointment at not participating in the Formula E event. “I won’t be at the Formula E event in Mexico City. Why? I wasn’t given an explanation, but I think the plan simply fell apart,” O’Ward shared in a video, making it clear that the decision was out of his control. CANCELED PLANS AND HOPES FOR THE FUTURE 💭✨ The Monterrey native had been considered to perform a demonstration with Arrow McLaren during the second round of the electric single-seater championship. However, the project was canceled, leaving Mexican fans without the chance to see him in action before the IndyCar season begins. “I hope in 2025 we can do something amazing, maybe a show run with the IndyCar, to bring you a spectacular experience and make up for this absence,” Pato added. A STANDOUT DRIVER IN 2024 🌟🏆 Despite this setback, Pato O’Ward closes 2024 with remarkable achievements. He finished fifth in the IndyCar championship, making him the best-performing driver in the Arrow McLaren team. Additionally, he delivered a standout performance at the Indy 500, securing second place. His next IndyCar season will kick off on March 2, 2025, in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he aims to surpass this year’s results and continue establishing himself as one of the brightest Mexican talents in international motorsport. MEXICO E-PRIX MOVES FORWARD ⚡🇲🇽 The Formula E championship will continue its 2024/2025 calendar in Mexico City, an event that has been a staple since 2016 (except in 2021 due to the pandemic). In the last edition, German driver Pascal Wehrlein claimed victory and is currently the reigning champion of the category. Although Pato O’Ward’s absence will leave a void in the hearts of fans, the electric single-seater spectacle promises thrilling moments and a fantastic experience for attendees. Pato’s future and his connection with Mexican fans remain strong, with the promise of exciting new projects and major surprises for 2025.

THE END OF AN ERA? SERGIO PÉREZ AND HIS POSSIBLE EXIT FROM RED BULL IN 2024 🏁🇲🇽

Sergio Spinoza / Formula 1 / en / December 17, 2024

The future of the Mexican driver in Formula 1 remains uncertain as Red Bull finalizes its lineup for 2025. CRUCIAL DECISIONS IN MILTON KEYNES 🏎️🇲🇽 Mexican driver Sergio ‘Checo’ Pérez might be nearing the end of his time with the Red Bull Racing team. The Austrian team is reportedly considering announcing before Christmas 🎄 that young New Zealand driver Liam Lawson will replace him for the 2025 season. Since the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Pérez has held meetings with Red Bull’s top management in Milton Keynes, where his future options are being discussed. While Pérez is under contract until 2025, his performance over recent months has raised doubts and sparked speculation. A NEW DESTINATION FOR CHECO? 🌍🚗 Among the possibilities for Sergio Pérez’s future is a role as a Red Bull ambassador ✨, involving appearances at marketing and promotional events. However, he could also choose to cut ties with the team to explore opportunities in other motorsport categories. One of the most notable options is joining General Motors’ Cadillac team, which plans to enter the Formula 1 grid in 2026 🚀. This move would allow Pérez to stay active in motorsport while potentially paving the way for a return to the top category in the future. THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE: A TOUGH SEASON 📉🏆 Checo Pérez’s performance has been under scrutiny following a second half of the season with below-par results. Since the Dutch Grand Prix, Pérez has scored only 21 points, with his standout performance in Zandvoort earning him 8 points. However, his results in the Austin, Mexico City, and Las Vegas Grands Prix were disappointing. On the other hand, while Red Bull remains silent, Pérez surprised team staff with a holiday gesture, gifting them bottles of his tequila as a Christmas present 🥂🎁. A GRID IN CONSTANT FLUX 🔄⚙️ The 2025 season promises significant changes in Formula 1. Lewis Hamilton will take his iconic number 44 to Ferrari 🏎️🔴, Carlos Sainz will join Williams, and young prodigy Andrea Kimi Antonelli will take a seat at Mercedes-Benz. Meanwhile, Red Bull seems to be betting on youth, with Liam Lawson ready to step into Pérez’s seat following an impressive stint with their junior team. PÉREZ’S FUTURE IN LIMBO 🌟🤷 Although the official 2025 lineup still lists Sergio Pérez as a Red Bull driver, uncertainty surrounds his career. According to sources close to ESPN, ‘Checo’ Pérez is expected to leave Red Bull Racing. Is this the farewell for Checo in Formula 1? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: his legacy in Mexican motorsport is already secured. 🇲🇽✨

With this agreement, Ferrari showcases its ability to remain a cornerstone of technical development in Formula 1, while Cadillac takes its first steps toward a future that could reshape the grid dynamics.

McLaren consiguió el campeonato de constructores en F1

McLaren Secures the Constructors’ Championship in F1

Omar Rodríguez / Formula 1, TAUROMAQUIA / en / December 10, 2024

McLaren won the 2024 F1 Constructors’ Championship, their first in 26 years, with Lando Norris clinching victory in Abu Dhabi. They surpassed Ferrari and broke the 14-year dominance of Red Bull and Mercedes. The 2024 Formula 1 season has come to an end. The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix marked the final race of the calendar, and Lando Norris’s victory not only sealed the event but also delivered McLaren its first Constructors’ Championship in 26 years. While Norris’s individual victory was symbolic, given that Max Verstappen had already secured the Drivers’ Championship at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, the triumph was celebrated by the entire McLaren team. It marked the end of a title drought that had lasted since 1998. McLaren Ends Red Bull and Mercedes Dominance This championship put an end to the dominance Red Bull and Mercedes had held in Formula 1 since 2010. During this 14-year period, Mercedes won eight consecutive titles (from 2014 to 2021), while Red Bull claimed six titles (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2022, and 2023). McLaren earned their ninth Constructors’ Championship, tying with Williams for second place in the historical standings, though still far behind Ferrari, which holds the record with 16 championships. Ferrari Came Close Ferrari, McLaren’s direct rivals, gave a strong fight. In the final Grand Prix of 2024, Carlos Sainz finished second and Charles Leclerc third, completing the podium. Despite their efforts, the British team finished first in the standings with 666 points, while Ferrari ended the season with 652 points. The Moment That Changed the Season There’s no doubt that McLaren’s performance this season was a surprise. At the start of the year, they were not considered contenders for the championship. However, everything changed at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where the strong performances of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, combined with Red Bull’s poor results, allowed McLaren to take the lead in the Constructors’ standings—a position they never relinquished.

2024 SEASON: A RECORD-BREAKING YEAR IN FORMULA 1

Sergio Spinoza / Formula 1 / en / December 10, 2024

Formula 1 experienced a year of unforgettable milestones and iconic moments that will forever be etched in the history of motorsport. From individual achievements to collective feats, 2024 was a season that redefined the boundaries of competition. FERNANDO ALONSO: THE KING OF GRAND PRIX Spanish veteran Fernando Alonso reached an incredible 400 Grand Prix starts, solidifying his place as the driver with the most participations in history. This milestone was celebrated during the 2024 Mexican Grand Prix, with his 400th start officially marked in Qatar. With over 20 years on the track, Alonso remains a beacon in Formula 1, while rival Lewis Hamilton, with over 350 races, is the only active driver who could come close to this record. A UNPRECEDENTED EVENT: THE FIRST SUSPENSION Danish driver Kevin Magnussen made history as the first driver suspended after accumulating 12 penalty points on his super license. The incident occurred following a collision with Pierre Gasly in Italy, costing Magnussen his participation in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where he was replaced by young talent Oliver Bearman. This event serves as a reminder of the sport’s stringent regulations. THE RETURN OF THE BLACK FLAG For the first time in 17 years, the black flag, a symbol of disqualification, was waved during the Brazilian Grand Prix. Nico Hülkenberg was penalized after receiving external assistance to rejoin the track—an action prohibited by the rules. This rare occurrence highlighted the strictness of the regulations in the pinnacle of motorsport. FERRARI’S DOMINANCE ON THE PODIUM Ferrari, the most iconic team in Formula 1, achieved two new 1-2 finishes in the Australian and Austin Grands Prix. Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc extended the Italian team’s historic leadership with 87 double podiums, further distancing themselves from Mercedes, which secured its 60th 1-2 in Las Vegas. SEVEN WINNERS IN A COMPETITIVE SEASON Unlike 2023, the 2024 championship saw seven different drivers claim victory at the top of the podium: Max Verstappen, Carlos Sainz, Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, George Russell, Lewis Hamilton, and Oscar Piastri. Each driver secured multiple wins, representing four different teams. HAMILTON SETS NEW PERSONAL RECORDS Lewis Hamilton not only extended his victory record to 105 wins but also established himself as the driver with the most wins at a single Grand Prix, with nine victories at Silverstone. BROTHERS MAKE HISTORY For the first time, two brothers, Charles and Arthur Leclerc, competed for the same team, Ferrari, during an official session at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. This unique occurrence marked a historic milestone in Formula 1’s 74 seasons. VERSTAPPEN: LEGENDARY FOUR-TIME CHAMPION Max Verstappen secured his fourth consecutive title in Las Vegas, joining the ranks of legends like Fangio, Prost, Schumacher, Vettel, and Hamilton. This achievement cements his status as a pivotal figure in Formula 1 history. The 2024 season not only broke records but also proved that the excitement and competition in Formula 1 are more alive than ever.
