Well, never believe a rumor until it's officially denied.

Other: Kvyat - has shown he can be a solid midfield driver, while most people here seems to think he doesn't deserve a place in F1

this article is saying that Alex Albon will take the 2nd seat at Toro Rosso - http://autosport.com.ru/f1/53586-neofic ... toro-rosso

It references comments made by Giedo Van Der Garde on TV in Holland.

Kinda weak excuse. Marko seems like a guy who can put noses back in the joint if need be.

I can't understand the logic of hiring Kvyat. They've already established that he's not good enough and the only reason for bringing him back again is that they've run out of young drivers to promote, incidentally much the same reason that Hartley is there. They'd be better off swallowing their pri...

One thing I don't understand is the votes for Serotkin. I bet it is just because he was on the screen for about 20 - 25% of the race. He may have been unlucky at the start, but there isn't really anything he did that was better than Stroll. That pit stop he had at first was a free one. and he could...

Talk about Kvyat being back to Toro Rosso next year, realistic?

Well done Fernando! Although it was effectively a two-horse race he had to drive a big night stint to make up the deficit of a penalty and pulled it off. Gutted for Jenson though - very good drive himself but the car failed him and his team-mates. What did his team-mates do wrong? I think you need ...

Reports that Toro Rosso approached McLaren to sign Lando Norris until the end of the season to replace Hartley. Seems like Hartley will be gone once they find someone to replace him. https://www.planetf1.com/news/mclaren-turn-down-loan-offer-for-norris/ I knew they were interested in him but I thou...

Replacing Kvyat with Hartley seemed like a strange decision from the get-go and starting to look like a bad one more and more. Although Hartley isn't that far behind and he should get his chance until the end of the year at least.

Sainz out qualified Kvyat 8-4 at an average of 0.12s, that's not what I call Kvyat matching Sainz, but the Sainz being over rated bit might be true with him presently getting beat by the Hulk.

Australia and Bahrain qualies were screwy because of the BS sliding knockout timer thing, or whatever you call it, that year which was really stupid and RB screwed Kvyats qualies because they couldn't adjust to it. Ric was obviously a priority. He wasn't equal to Ricciardo, but he was close. He had...

typaH4okc

He was doing as well as Ricciardo when he was axed. You've gone ahead and bought into the media hype as to why he was axed instead of realizing that the only reason he was "demoted" was because Verstappen was being wined and dined by others and Red bull reacted rather than risk losing their young g...

I wonder how an F1 car would do in 6 hour race? Would it make it to the checkered flag? Of course they are not built for that, but what do you think? I personally believe that a Mercedes F1 car (they seem to have the most reliable engine) turned down to run at just a few seconds faster than LMP1, w...

I think the problem with Max's move is that he completely shut the door on the left after opening it. That is what contrasts it with other similar moves we've seen before.

Is there any chance they're killing two birds with one stone here? - Kyvat is on the brink of a race ban because of penalty points. These will reset at Austin. - Testing Gasly for 2 races means they can further test his ability while ensuring they Kyvat gets time out and can come back fresh with le...

I've been following your posts on Kvyat/Sainz and I think your assessment is the most reasonable one of what I've seen here so I fully agree. Even in Monaco, his race pace looked pretty similar to Sainz, but he was took out by Perez. But again, he didn't do the job he needed to in qualifying which w...

Sad news. Most of what I read here about Kvyat is nonsense. He definitely has the speed. He matched Sainz on Saturdays. On Sundays Sainz clearly beat him but most of it was due to bad luck. Objectively I'd say Sainz has better race craft and maybe better tire management. I agree that Kvyat is having...

typaH4okc

I think RedBull mismanaged Max badly. They should have promoted him at the end of 2016. He wouldn't have ditched them if they kept him at bay til the end of the season. Now they played to his ego and he's almost certain to leave at the end of his current contract. I think either Merc or Ferrari will...

https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/kvyat-new-toro-rosso-contract-928978/ In Monaco, Kvyat again wasn't that good in qualifying. He proved that he was very good earlier in practice when he was right near the top of the time sheets. He qualified 11th. Sainz got a very good 6th. The car looked so stro...

One of the most logical arguments against Mercedes signing Alonso is having to deal with 2 top drivers. If there is substance to the Eddie Jordan rumour that Mercedes will leave after next year because they no longer believe they are getting a good marketing return, maybe they figure since they are...

I couldn't say Sainz was soundly beating Kvyat. (unless you meant the past mening last year) If you did then what I'm saying is irreverent. Although the points show he is beating Kvyat by a long way, that isn't really true. Sainz has made far more mistakes than Kvyat. It's looking like a Kvyat 2016...

typaH4okc

Don't know about others, but if it was Kvyat they would probably give him a 10 sec stop/go and then a few laps later a DQ and a race ban.

typaH4okc

Yes, but here's the part where it seems a little less similar... Verstappen's teammate over the same period: 1 DNF, 2 finishes outside the points - 9 points (3 more than Max) Stroll's teammate over the same period: 1 DNF, 2 finishes outside the points - 20 points (18 more than Lance) So both Versta...

Kvyat did start form his original starting position: P11. He was supposed to got the pit lane I'm guessing.

What pressure? The guy has already won 3 world championships. A 4th one would be gravy but it is not a must have for him. I have sensed that all year and thought that is one of the reasons Nico will win the championship this year. I think Hamilton is under a lot of pressure. He really wants to beat...

Ricciardo seems to have a weakness for about 3 races around the early-to-mid season. I am talking specifically about Canada, Austria and Silverstone. He was beaten by Kvyat on merit in all three of these races in 2015 and again by Verstappen in 2016. This is either a weak patch of the season for hi...

Well, Kvyat has had twice as many races and outperformed Ric about twice as many times as Max has. His quali record vs Ric is better than Verstappen's not this year it wasn't.

I think Ricciardo haven't had to face any real pressure yet. Of course part of the reason is that he's that good and hasn't been challenged enough.
