Hey everyone!

Some of you may have heard about the F1 x Heineken competition for the 2027 F1 Season Ticket, giving one lucky fan the chance to attend every Grand Prix next season, with flights and accommodation included.

Well, I’m Lukas, an F1 fan from Czechia, and somehow I’ve made it into the final six! 😄

To enter the competition, I made a video about retiring my sofa and trading it for the grandstands. After years of watching F1 from my couch, I think it’s time for an upgrade. 😂

Now the public vote is live on F1.com, and it closes on 19 October. If you enjoy my little sofa retirement story, I’d really appreciate your vote!

But I also want to make this more than just my own adventure. If I win, I want to bring the fans along for the ride. My plan is to let you guys choose challenges for me during race weekends and share the results - including the embarrassing ones. And of course, I’d love to take on a challenge suggested by this community!

So, I have a question for you:

If you could send me on a challenge at any F1 race next season, what would it be? 👀

Thanks for reading and for any support. Hopefully, this Czech guy will be trading his sofa for the grandstands in 2027! 🏎️

Pulled every lap of the 2026 season to check, using Russell in the same car as the benchmark.

Qualifying is a coin flip: Kimi is ahead 10 of 17, but Russell is slightly quicker on average. Races are where he pulls away: ahead of Russell in 9 of the 13 where both finished, and +25 places grid to finish (Russell +3, Hamilton +2).

He leads by 102 points with 6 to go. My read: the car gives Mercedes the title, but the races decide which Mercedes driver gets it.

Where does the data mislead me?

#OnThisDay 11 October Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton won the 2015 Russian Grand Prix, held in Sochi, extending his championship lead. Nico Rosberg, his Mercedes teammate, started on pole but was forced to retire early due to a throttle issue. This allowed Hamilton to take control of the race. Sebastian Vettel finished second after a solid drive, while Sergio Perez secured third, benefiting from a late-race collision between Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari) and Valtteri Bottas (Williams). The incident helped Perez to secure his first podium of the season.

Hamilton’s win was enough for Mercedes to clinch their second consecutive Constructors’ Championship, repeating their achievement at the same event in the 2014 season.

Ngl, it was thrilling to see George went from P19 to P9!!! Congrats Kimi for the podium 🎉🔥 I am beyond grateful for that. Kimi FTW!!!

I wanted to know if Mercedes has lost a lot of talent on the aero side. I am new here; I started watching in 22, so I don't know how the team developed before. From what I have seen, Mercedes suck at aero work. Of course, that may be an exaggeration on my part, but it seems Mercedes haven't just failed to develop; they've actually gone backward. Anyone with more knowledge, please be kind

Edit: I changed it to the team. Now, if you have info, please say it kindly or don't. No need to reply as if I made a cardinal sin by saying we

Some of you might have seen him with Toto at Merc's garage during the Italian GP recently. Right now, if he continues to dominate the karting scene, he's expected to race in F4 in 3 years time (minimum age to race in f4 is 15 years old). Looking forward to Niccolo's bright future in motorsport.

Kimi 🗣️"It was a very tough race out there. But really happy with the podium at the end. I managed to take advantage of the fight of Lando and Lewis and make a move on both."

"To bring home P3 is a great result for the team and very happy with that."

When pointed out he could win the world title at the next race in Austin:

"Can I? Really? Well, let's not worry about that. Let's try to do the best weekend as possible and finish the job."

Kimi's current gap to 2nd place in WDC points after Singapore GP is 102. Since there are no sprint race left, even by winning the next 4 GP will not be sufficient to overtake his points. (4 races times maximum point = 100).

Before you jumped me, I'm fully aware that the FOM has already announced that they're proceeding with Qatar and Abu Dhabi exactly a week ago. But if you read the news, there has been multiple escalated terror attacks around the region after the announcement.

The latest one 12 hours ago.

Eventhough there are multiple rumors going around about having Imola as the replacement track. I do think it's a bit too late by now. Even Malaysia was announced more than 2 months before the race date. Plus the track will get more and more frozen up nearing end of the year.

I don't really have any hidden intention by posting this. Just something that came across my mind after the GP and thought it'd be interesting to share it with you guys. And I also like to emphasize that war is bad. Formula 1 is just a sport compared to the terror of what the victims actually go through.

But yeah, if it did actually happened. Congratulations Kimi Andrea Antonelli for winning the 2026 Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship!

i think it has great wallpaper potential using the patterns , the adidas petronas stripes and the mercedes badge
