“It’s not been the start that we hoped for but probably one that we expected" Really Claire? With zero preparation going into the Aus. GP this season, the team is essentially set up to fail now. You're at the helm, and you're clearly offering nil as a leader. So far out of her depth it's embarassing.

What's probably being forgotten, is that MSC wouldn't settle for this "is he or isn't he my #2" thing that Vettel is contending with at the moment. MSC would have had the other car moved over straight away in Germany, and he wouldn't have been giving it a tow in Italy. It's a great question though. ...

Under the current Formula, whoever can avoid a Renault engine is best placed IMO. I think Perez is best placed, has the FI situation and knows it well, knows the Merc engine will be thereabouts up to the new regs in 2021. Move to Haas won't entirely surprise for next season, if Leclerc goes to Ferra...

Amazing to see that there are people happy to watch Ferrari walk, and not actually care for the health of the sport. The sport needs Ferrari, it's honestly that simple. It may not be a popular fact, but it's still a fact. If Red Bull left, it would suck but the sport would carry on. If Mercedes left...

This is hardly new, and it's not really different from any other time Ferrari have threatened to leave. I do recall ten years ago or so, when the Concorde was up for renewal, a large chunk of the teams (not including Ferrari) threatened to leave Formula 1 in an attempt to get a better deal in relati...

Proper good race this. Not quick, but proper endurance race. Richie Stanaway is a star.

My son claims it is cheaper for hil and mate to go to the Bathurst than the British GP at silverstone. He usually stays 4 days and all passes, is this really possible?

https://twitter.com/twitter/statuses/916573098274463744 That's the pole lap from earlier today. Lap of the Gods MKII. Thanks JackAttack for posting this. I wouldn't put it up there with Murphs but Christ it was a good lap. As a lifelong Ford and Dickie Johnson fan it'd be very sweet to see the #17 ...

That lap from Murph was just something else. They have never gone into the 7s until that weekend and then he bypasses it entirely. Now they're doing low 4's.

If anyone ever gets a chance, or an inkling to attend, do it. I ticked that box a few years back. It's truly an incredible experience.

If I was Haas, I wouldnt offer him any more extensions after current contracts run our of if I have termination clause, I would use it if some other good driver lines up and becomes available. On this point, I'm actually surprised Haas aren't ahead of Sauber in the Leclerc stakes, if he is indeed g...

JackAttack_19

Is it a complete disaster though? IF they can get the gearbox back in order, they're set. Worst case there, 5 places in Suzuka. Not ideal, but not a disaster I wouldn't think. Did Vettel also not take 2 NEW engines this weekend? Effectively meaning he has one fresh ICE, and one fresh minus any wear ...

"The most unsporting driver on the grid" - Nico Hulkenberg "Hulkenberg was right", and later ""For his driving, we more or less agree with the other drivers, it's 19-1." - Fernando Alonso. So, is K-Mag fundamentally a dangerous, unsporting driver? Or does he simply take the "I'll LEGALLY put my car ...

Let's bin the whole thread. Painting this as Vettel/Webber MKII is genuinely laughable, but after 11 pages we've reached that point. Well done.

JackAttack_19

I think he needs to have a dynamite 2018 to be there in 2019, and even then it may not be enough if either RBR driver wants that seat. DanyRic is out of contract, and Max will 110% have clauses in his contract around RBR's performance in the same way Vettel did (and just about all elite sportspeople...

Switzerland allows it, so there's nothing any organization can do to stop this from happening. People leave and join other companies all the time taking vital info. Not sure what the big deal here is. It sucks, but there's no slavery in the modern world (and rightfully so). A person can move to any...

JackAttack_19

DanyRic also outqualified Vergne something like 25 times in two seasons together, outscored him across their two seasons. JEV is now driving battery powered Formula 3 cars, DanyRic looks like getting to pick whether he drives a Ferrari, a Mercedes or a Red Bull in 2019. I'd suggest that not only is ...

JackAttack_19

Gee Sky and particularly Ted don't want to let this Singapore situation go. All drivers including Max are trying to move on. Doubt this discussion would be happening with the same tone if it was their boy in the Vettels position. Also the way Sky are talking like Di Resta is guaranteed for Williams...

JackAttack_19

FWIW, Ricciardo drove the bulk of Singapore with a dud gearbox, and Bottas honestly couldn't get near him so the drive I thought was very very solid all things considered. His racecraft is second to nobodies, obviously we know he can fight wheel to wheel with anyone and doesn't take a backward step....

JackAttack_19

This same thread title could have been interchangeable with Seb at the start of the season when he clearly had a length on what Lewis was producing. Some of the drives/moments Fernando has produced this season have been drive of the day stuff, too. It's just that DNF'ing sorta rules you out of that ...

JackAttack_19

What sort of lap times do we all think we'll see this weekend? Sub 1.20's? RoGro has said he doesn't expect the same sort of gain to be had here, as elsewhere. Long straights, extra drag on these new-gen cars etc. Certainly be interesting to see if Ferrari can genuinely stay near Merc in quali-spec ...

JackAttack_19

What he was producing was worthy of criticism. He was a pay driver, in the third best car on the grid (at the time) and underperformed. Forget his age, forget his experience. This is meant to be the pinnacle of the sport and he should be judged as such. I'm happy to say though, he has well and truly...

JackAttack_19

Stay with me here. It's not even a debate that Lewis did the wrong thing, by sitting there leaving the turn at 50kph NOT accelerating. I'm surprised it didn't cause a concertina accident, given Perez wanted to get after VET etc. The SKY coverage afterwards was a genuine parody. Croft lacked anything...

I'm sure it has been asked before. But what stops McLaren building their own engines? I'm not so much talking for 2018, I mean moving forward into the new regs (2021) when everyone is essentially going to be starting from scratch (assuming the move is away from the complex hybrids we have now to som...

I think what McLaren have to decide for 2018 (and possibly beyond) is simple. Do they want Alonso? Or do they want Honda? I'd be stunned if they have both next season. For me, no brainer. Alonso can 'out drive' the car, but can the Honda overcome a potentially less capable replacement? While I agre...

Yet another abysmal qualifying performance from stroll, somehow taking the 4th fastest car out there and making it seem a real battle to beat sauber. I feel sorry for any patriotic canadain fans paying money to watch him race. The worst part is I suspect it's actually the 3rd fastest car at many tr...

My stab at the 2018 lineups Merc: HAM/BOT - Suspect they're enjoying the smoother intra-team relationship too much. PERHAPS the only caveat, is if they fall right back towards RBR and Bottas is fighting for 4th every weekend. But even then, would Toto Wolff want to start playing ABBA that badly? #ca...

It's a bizarre thing for Williams to come out and say. Surely she must realise by saying such laughable things she just makes Stroll even more of a laughing stock? It has been YEARS since I've used a forum, so apologies if I look a dinosaur using the 'quote' function. It honestly just looks embarra...

Reading further up ^, that Max was personality of the year. 2015. Doesn't that imply you have to have a mentionable personality? He's a nice guy and all, but not a 'personality' of the sport. ANYWAY.
