Re: Lewis Hamilton's next team will be...

No chance he leaves Mercedes until he retires. Stranger things have happened but I realistically can't see anywhere for him to go to. Red Bull is the most desirable seat and when they won't hire him in 2011/12 as a 26/27 yr old superstar they are not hiring him anytime now as a 39+ yr old. Neither ...

Re: Bad Stuff Piquet Has Said

As an old fart that has been around since the time he won the WDC, Piquet has always been a bit of a dick. Given where F1 races now, the sponsors they allow, how preachy are we going to get about a former driver's comments, no matter how heinous?

Re: Why have Mercedes dropped the ball?

I think they are picking the ball back up. I hope they do and I hope Red Bull fix their reliability issues. Having Ferrari, RB and Merc fighting up front would be awesome.

Re: Mazepin set to lose his seat

Steiner said that Fittipaldi is "first in line" for Mazipane's seat. But I would think a driver with some sponorship dollars would be given serious consideration.

Who are the best drivers with a solid sponsor package that are available?

Of course it should and Dmitry Mazepin and all his ill-gotten gains should excluded from the sport. He is one of the original post-Soviet Oilgarchs and part of Putins inner circle. Mazepin senior is in this up to his neck. It's a lousy track anyway.

Here's the problem, Charlie Whitting is gone and Masi is not the answer. The teams are pushing him so hard and he is not standing up to them. Granted Charlie left big shoes to fill, but Masi is falling short. The teams don't respect his authority and will take any opportunity to push him. Sad to say...

Mercedes and "the greatest driver of our time" are making silly mistakes. There is no reason for Mercedes to tell Hamilton it is fine, and Lewis should also know on his own. Dumb.
Mercedes are a first class in every department apart from the strategy department.
Well put. Agreed.
