Re: Honda veto Alonso at Andretti for the Indy 500

This x 1000. Ferrari is not going to win next year and Vettel is going to be out of Ferrari after next year. Said that, the next cycle is going to be for RB not Ferrari in my opinion.

Re: Should Bottas contract be extended?

The same problem RB face with finding someone to pair up with Max. And how is going to challen...

The story will be different if he had the winner trophy. I hope he doesn't have the power to tell Netflix what they can show or not, that's censorship.

Re: Fernando Alonso to race for McLaren at the 2019 Indy 500
I'm not sure because Alonso apparently doesn't want to do the full series, he doesn't like the cars. Yeah that's what the Spanish press close to him is saying, he didn't enjoy the car in a normal circuit plus doing so many races away from Europe. Honestly he should suck it and do it. Winning the WE...

A fine or some point in his driver license will do nothing. He is a classic bully, on track and outside the track, if FIA don't do anything about it, he will create more trouble in the future, mark my words.

I suspect that Red Bull have been more interested in Alonso than simply making one offer back in 2007, as Christian Horner has claimed. But I also think that Alonso himself is exaggerating the frequency and/or firmnes...

Ferrari is going to lose the WCC because Kimi, so yes, is time to replace him. They should have done it a long time ago but Ferrari is always so safe with their drivers, they shoot themselves on the foot just for the sake or making Vettel happy.
