So, bye bye Sauber!
I wonder how AUDI will do, by I will keep my expectations in check, I have known to many flops for far more hyped entries.
Meanwhile, Verstappen is 9.5 for a victory, at these odds I see no point even waiting or trying to nab something better, a 10 to one return for the next of the races even if he loses them all, it's still beer money at the end of it, if he would have failed with 2.5/3x that wuld have been painfull.
Wanted to take some more H2H against RB, but the odds have dropped to 1.15 / 1.1 against Ferrari and Mercedes, no point even looking at them anymore.
It will be probably hard for Audi at least in the 1st year.
If' I'm not mistaken they will use their own engine and it will requires time for innovation.
The good thing about it is that they will can boost the progress with frequents updates.
Same thing will be for Redbull, they will build their or own engine from 2026, without the (official) support from Honda.
