I think Seb is over it. He achieved a lot early on in his career, I think he's lost the passion. I wouldn't be surprised if he retires at the end of this year.
Thoughts?

hotbmw

Piastri looking really good. Finally he has a race win under his belt, to go with his demonstrated consistency. Looks like Zhou's 30 mil euros will get him to F1 first though Piastri being F3 Champ last year, if he then is F2 Champ, its so disappointing a young talent has to sit out a year in 2022....

Lando would not have been able to pass Ricciardo. Without the chance of both of them crashing out. Im not saying Lando was slower, im just saying he wouldnt have been able to pass without taking too much of a risk for the team. I really hope the 2022 cards allow for more overtaking, that they can ha...

hotbmw

He's back!!!
In his interviews he clearly showed he was also lacking some confidence with the past hlaf of the year. He has dug deep and come out on top. Great for McLaren to get the 1-2. Come on!!!

hotbmw

If he wins the title he can't stay in F2. He'll have to do a year as reserve driver at Alpine. God knows where he goes in 2023 though.

I didn't realise you aren't allowed to go again if you win the title. Is that the case?

hotbmw

What's happened to Schwartzman? He was so highly rated only a year ago. Bad year or Piastri next level?

hotbmw

If Piastri wins the F2 title this year looks like he would need to go again next year. I think Alonso just resigned for 2 more years. How long does Ocon have left? What's Piastris future? I think I also heard Alonso met with Aston Martin. If vettel retires maybe Alonso moves? Leaves a spot for Piast...

If redbull keep the renault engine in 2019 i suspect Dan will re-sign with redbull.
Does Vettel have a contract till 2019 or 2020?

hotbmw

Interesting. Article says redbull must decide if they will use a renault engine for 2019 by end of may.

hotbmw

Isnt the renault engine off the table?

There is only a honda engine for redbull in 2019 and 2020 right?

hotbmw

I would think if Dan had another good next race and closed the gap a little further up top and if Max had another shocker, i would think the team would try to at least back Dan partly to try and not only win the drivers championship but also try to convince Dan to re-sign with them I just dont see w...

The real play here is for Red Bull to focus on the 2021 regulations change. That will be their opportunity to get back to the front of the pack. Throwing everything at trying to catch Mercedes and Ferrari these next two years is a lower-odds play IMO. Partnering with Honda early and building that c...

hotbmw

Do you think they can switch it on that fast that they are title contenders as early as next year????

hotbmw

I am sure the Honda engine will keep improving but surely it wouldnt improve that much to catch ferrari and mercedes.

What are your predictions for Honda Redbull next year? Fighting with renault and force india?

hotbmw

What do you guys think? Could this be a turning point on 2 fronts?
1. the team now get behind Ric for a title push and
2. Dannys confidence would be at an all time high, believing he can do it

Had redbull used team orders at baku Ric would have been right up there with Ham and Vet.

Thoughts?

hotbmw

The massive performance boost has to have something to do with the deal they made with Merc to release Bottas. Has to. They must have got cash and some tech advice or parts etc.
Im hoping Williams can gain momentum from here, sign a great driver next year and enter the Top 3.

hotbmw

When does Massa's contract expire?
If Massa's contract ends at the end of this season or if Bottas moves on, Ricciardo would be a great addition at Williams.

hotbmw

Ricciardo finishes 10 seconds ahead of Vetel even though Dan had the poor start and stuck in 12th place early on and Vetel was way ahead in 5th place

Dan OWNS Vetel

hotbmw

DAN IS TOO GOOD

hotbmw

How is it possible for Dan to be the fastest in the speed trap?

hotbmw

DAN THE MAN!!! GO BOY

hotbmw

Any chance of rain?

hotbmw

Ricciardo's the REAL DEAL

Ricciardo's red bulls number one driver for sure. NO EXCUSES FROM VETEL ANYMORE

hotbmw

Ricciardo the REAL DEAL

Ricciardo's red bulls number one driver

Ricciardo's red bulls number one driver

Ricciardo totally out driving Vetel AGAIN!

hotbmw

Ricciardo teaching Vetel how to drive

hotbmw

Why didnt Vetel push hard and overtake a few cars and say finish 5th? Where was he all race? It seems a passenger. He came out on fresh new tyres after his last stop right behind raikonen who had a few laps on his tyres already. But instead of slowly overtaking raikonen or being on his tail in the f...

Ricciardo is the teams number 1 driver now. With another victory in the next race and a poor result by Mercedes somehow, Rici has a chance to win the championship.

Vetel to get the boot at the end of the year!

hotbmw

Awesome race.
Very happy for Rici. He looks so happy

deserved the win.

Awesome from Alonso and Hamy too.

Where's Vetel?"..........

Vettel seems disinterested
Or Ricciardo is the real deal

hotbmw

Exciting race. Ricciardo was the highlight. Hamilton too. Well done Bottas!

hotbmw

What's wrong with Vettel? Ricciardo from 15th has been flying even though being held up and overtaking. Ricciardo is one second a lap faster than him.

hotbmw

Vetel will never win another Championship again

DAN THE MAN!!!

hotbmw

Ricciardo too good for Vetel again!!!

Vetels the number 2 driver at redbull

hotbmw

I think it means it's to early, way to early to mention Vettel in the same sentence as Schumacher.
He's good but maybe not as great as we thought

hotbmw

I was sincerely curious if schumey had ever been dominated by a team mate in his career (pre 2010 comeback).
It's unexplainable.
Ricciardo is either the real deal or Vettel isn't quite as good as we thought?

hotbmw

Being out qualified 6 out of 7 races is what I call whipped.
The rookie is infront of him in race points.
It's very Strange.

Shumey was never out qualified 6 out of 7 races

hotbmw

But every driver has this same problem with the new car regulations.
Is he not top notch world class to race on. Alonso and Hami and Ricciardo can race on with new car regulations but Vettel isn't good enough to adapt to a new car?
STRANGE

hotbmw

Has Schumacher ever been whipped by his team mate since he was a world champion? Ricciardo has out qualified Vettel 6 from 7 races this year. Did shumey ever have this done to him? Rici leads Vettel in race points too. Vettel was unlucky with one race where he should of scored good points but so too...
