Re: Who will claim 4th in the WDC?

I would bet checo, he has 2 races less than the rest, so he has comfortably scored more points per race than his competitors, so if this tendency continues in the last races he should be able to retain his recently gained 4th place

Re: Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon

IMO I see both Checo and Ocon better than Bottas, the problem is tht none of them would be willing to play second fiddle just as Bottas would, so for Mercedes it might not worth the gamble. I see Bottas at a Hulk level, pretty good, but somehow plain and predictable, without that killer insctinct of...

Re: Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon

Runors indicate that red bull has built a superb chassis for new 2017 regulations, and without the token limit Renault PU can get closer to Mercedes PU, so I wouldn't be so sure about the Mercedes domination again, I firmly believe that Ricciardo will be in contention for the 2017 title
