Bottas to Merc and Wehrlein to Williams with a sweet engine deal, and problem solved. Wehrlein & Stroll? Not the sort of line-up I believe Sir Frank or Claire for that matter would go for - I don't see it I'm afraid. What Williams need more than an experienced driver is better car development, and ...

I initially thought rogro had moved just prior to braking / under braking, but looking at various angles I think it is more down to the way the track bends

to be fair, it would be much fun to watch even if they weren't all in the same car. Drivers under contract bring the car they are allowed, drivers not under contract get something standard. As long as they have similar spec it would work.

Maybe Newey is going there with Seb.

stringy

Presumably the agreement will be subsidized/free Honda engines in exchange for complete engine data from Caterham?

stringy

Would have to be a pretty solid source to run that story right?

stringy

Well, looks like we'll find out soon.
Various journalists tweeting that they've been invited to a McLaren media event tomorrow....

Maybe Alonso was set on WEC & has something lined up.
McLaren are just trying to lure him back & are negotiating terms so he can race LeMans etc. ?

Think next year will be similar to this. Williams are the best placed to catch up, but I don't think they have the self confidence/ambition to do it. They were far to happy to settle for second best in races this year, and I think they will have the same mentality next year. Williams, Red Bull and m...

He was involved in no less than four crashes without clearly causing them (Australia, Canada, G. Britain and Germany). He was quite unlucky with these ones, unluckiest of them all this year. Not that he would won any of these, but his points would be at least above Alonso's. Other than that, his te...

at some point he turned into a parody of himself?

Maybe with the Mclaren upgrades Button will be able to win his last race...

stringy

Definitely Yes. They should start relaxing the rules to allow teams develop the tech further.

GP2. best game ever. classic.

I dont think Rosberg will be close enough

Nah, Lewis has gone with a race setup & settled with a 2nd place start. He's going to bluff Rosberg into outbraking himself into turn 1, and will romp off with the win... 8) Not with them flat spotted tyres that were causing him a vibration, it's not good racing with that True, but did Lewis actual...

I think its too easy for Massa to say that after the event. He thought it was too wet at the start of the race & at the end, whereas other drivers thought the conditions werent too bad.

stringy

I think the revised list of what's banned makes a lot more sense. FIA haven't done themselves any favours over how this is implimented

stringy

Vettel and Alonso at McLaren would be a tasty outcome.

stringy

A racing incident, but easily avoidable by Rosberg. I don't think he deliberately tired to crash. I think he tried to be aggressive and got it wrong. Thing is, it could easily have worked out in Lewis's favour. No damage to Lewis & a broken wing for Rosberg & this race would have been completely dif...

Separate strategists for each driver. Try and keep everything as separate as possible. The only thing that needs to be coordinated is pitting, which can be down to decision of leading driver as currently often happens. No team orders, nothing. During the race & quali, make it as much like being two ...

stringy

I think you cant just base this on one race. However I agree with the OP. I don't think I've ever heard Massa admit anything was his fault, or that he might have maybe been slightly partly to blame for an incident.

stringy

Its the lower noses, Newey was right, these noses are flipping cars far too often. The must go back to last years nose regulations and get rid of these ugly noses. Hasn't it been wheel-to-wheel contact that's been causing the flipping? I think the one yesterday was wheel to wheel but Maldonado on G...

Someone told me (so probably bs) that rumours are quietly going around that merc have not put the car/engine in a mode in the top third. Something about them having a dial which goes to 20 and it hasn't gone above 12 and wont until they master the reliability. As I said probably bs but thought I'd ...

stringy

I dont recall what Bottas' pace was relative to Lewis when they were both in clear air. You got to think that things could have been closed had the Williams qualified at the front. I think we could still see some upsets on the high speed tracks..

stringy

wonder what the weather will be like tomorrow. could be key.

stringy

Anyone got sector times for those last runs??

This. the cars in front shouldnt pose to much of a problem for Lewis in the Merc.

I seriously cant believe that Williams didnt put a banker lap in. Baffled by that one.

RunningMan wrote:So who wins the award for the biggest cock up in quali?

Lewis? Ferrari? Williams?

Riciardo? Torro Rosso? for not running again in quali.

It's got to be Lewis. Surely the last sector of the warm up lap would have given a really good indication that it would be fast?

stringy

Another thing. Earlier in this topic I said that I would have to find a way to get used to the sport and then I discovered some Videos on YouTube. I do understand how people can be pleased that someone else is dominating other than Seb and the RedBull but I cannot understand how people can say they...

stringy

I think they will hold it for quite some time.

The engine is giving them a big advantage, but that cant be the whole story. They've got some other stuff going on thats making them so much faster than the other Merc engined cars.

Too early to say, but its definitely fun to watch Dan in the mix. Love how he comes across out of the car, as well as on the team radio. Looking forward to see how this inter-team battle develops.

stringy

I got a call on the radio, which I heard but I didn’t understand it at the time. I should have understood , which is why I apologised to the team because with my action I put myself above the team. Initially I didn't understand (the request) It all sounds very familiar, if I do say so myself. I tho...

stringy

was there ever any replay of the Vergne incident at the start?

stringy

TBH Im not sure why Williams told Bottas to hold station behind Massa at the beginning of the race. Should have let him go for it then, could have turned out a lot different.

p.s what role does Claire Williams have during the race? she always seems to be hiding behind her hands.

stringy

Not sure who is the new version of.

K-Mag, or Magners. Or just Young Kevin Magnessun as mentioned above

The point of the safety car is to bunch up the pack so the marshals have a safe operating window to work in thus not having to constantly watch out for cars that may be coming every 20 or so seconds and not having to constantly run back and forwards on and off the track . Cars will be going very sl...

given the impact it will have on airflow for the rest of the cars, i wonder how many teams may end up radically changing their nose over the course of the season.
