As expected Gasly to Red Bull has just been confirmed. The combined age of the two drivers next season will be 44! https://twitter.com/PierreGASLY/status/1031617818851246080?s=19 https://twitter.com/redbullracing/status/1031616493631488000?s=19 Come on Ferrari, follow the example and hire Leclerc t...

I myself in the past have often agreed with the rankings on F1 Fanatic, now known as Racefans. I do agree with a lot again this year, but some IMO are well off. Rankings 1 - 5: https://www.racefans.net/2018/08/17/2018-mid-season-f1-driver-rankings-part-3/#comment-3840630 Rankings 6 - 12: https://ww...

I think Vandoorne has had a good chance to show what he has got and has confirmed to me that he is Button level which is still very good but not leading edge. I would like to see Norris in the seat to see how he compares against Sainz otherwise Ocon. If Norris does not get an F1 seat I would like t...

I voted for Sainz and Vandoorne, which is what I think they'll have. Sainz is a driver with some references, so he'll provide a good final assessment of Vandoorne. If he beats Vandoorne, Stoffel is out. Also, if Stoffel beats Sainz, Sainz is out. Norris will be in the car in 2020 regardless. The St...

Now Max will have to be the leader and I don't think he is up to it. Will he be fast - absolutely Will he be Wise enough - doubtful. But daddy will be there to coach him and that's when Max messes up. I'm hoping Renault really come through and get in the top mix. If they can get close Dan has the r...

This has been one hell of a silly season IMO!!...

Probably the most craziest so far!......

Noni

Just read 1 atrocious if not silly rumour!!!! As per reports in Belgium, Ocon will replace Vandoorne at McLaren from Belgian Grand Prix onwards. I feel sorry for Vandoorne, don't think his talents has been justified. However, I do like Ocon though, would be great to see him knock the pants off Alon...

No! No! No!!! I hope this is just a rumour. http://scuderiafans.com/ferrari-kimi-raikkonen-reach-agreement-2019-according-spanish-media/ This does not surprise me at all. Kimi is a great #2 driver. Vettel is obviously going to be happy that Kimi will be supporting him next year. I don't expect a lo...

I think Alonso will stay with McLaren but spread over F1 and Indy. McLaren just may be the right company fit for Alonso now if they diversify as expected into Indy. The WEC adventure this year and Indy 500 last year while still driving in F1 maybe a taste of Alonso's future and no other F1 team wou...

https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/137937/alonso-not-the-healthiest-choice-for-red-bull Not that I ever thought it would happen but Horner basically confirmed that RBR will not pursue Alonso. He also clearly explains that Alonso's reputation for creating turmoil combined with his age are the main re...

The return to flaky rubber would be an awful backwards step. F1 should be the pinnacle of motorsport, but drivers tiptoeing around 8 seconds off of qualifying pace is the exact opposite of that. I know tyre management is a skill in itself, but it isn't what the best drivers in the world should have...

Noni

He will pick up some podiums and maybe even 3 wins over the 2 seasons. He will go to Ferrari at the end of his contract unless Renault end up producing a WDC winning car. He probably would have done if he had stayed at Red Bull, doubtful he will do that in the Renault. A lot depends on that Honda e...

Noni

Yes Fernando, you had a great run but please go. Not for the fans, they still love to see you drive, but for yourself. It is over for Alonso. The team will be better off without him and Vandoorne / Sainz would be good. Who knows he is still that good? We think he is. We like to yhink he is but do w...

For me I knew a move by Dan was comming after Hungry last year, after Max hit Dan you could see on the debrief Dan had with Marko Helmut, Dan looked very angry at whatever Marko had to say and it looked like Marko was partitioning Blame on Dan. Dan held out for as long as possible for a Merc or Fer...

I'm going to cast the first vote, and put my own opinion down outside the starting post so that people can vote without reading my opinion if they so choose. I think it's a good move, and it will result in more success for Ricciardo than he would have had otherwise. Red Bull is clearly building aro...

Reports from Austria have claimed that Niki Laua is now awake and breathing on his own after being in a serious condition following his lung transplant, which left him breathing via a heart-lung machine and deemed to be in an extremely critical condition. https://www.gpfans.com/en/articles/2210/lau...

Indirectly Hulkenberg's performance against Ricciardo could make or break Perez. I think Perez is already in serious danger after the beating he's received from Ocon so far this year. If it keeps up, his already fragile chances at a top seat are finished. I would say they've been pretty close to ev...

Noni

I'd rather he didn't go, but I can imagine it must be soul destroying to be relegated driving around at the back when you know that you are at least as good as anybody in the prime seats. And it certainly looks like Alonso will never be considered for one of those seats again, unless any of those t...

I have a gut feeling that Red Bull will struggle next year with their new Honda engines. This will leave the possibility of Renault being the 3rd best team. Renault have not been the best in strategy calls and tend to favour one driver. Red Bull have suffered from reliability issues and so far this ...

Noni

In my thread about should Alonso go, my answer is YES!!!. He will never win another WC again in F1.... He's better off leaving F1 with a good reputation behind him and extend his talents to another series, like Mansell did. Make way for fresh blood!..... Button, Massa, Barrichello and Webber all lef...

Noni

As some suggested Alonso will retire and move to Indy car racing. Certains seats will be available and awaiting news on Force India status.

I believe Red Bull will struggle with the Honda engines next season.

Noni

Who's to say that Red Bull and Honda won't work next season, the same as McLaren were. Honda have had reliability issues with their power units. We may see Renault as a top team and now Red Bull with Honda, could see Max suffering with DNF's... I'm only speculating folks, but Renault seems a better ...

First of all I honestly hope Lauda has a good recovery. Ok so that said, i'm going to say something that's not going to be popular here and will probably cop me a lot of flack but I really think that deep down most will understand where i'm coming from. And it's maybe not the place to say it but i'...

Breaking News:.... Daniel Ricciardo to leave Red Bull. Could this leave the opportunity for Alonso??????

Nikki Lauda: Three-time Formula 1 champion has lung transplant. Wishing Nikki all the best and speedy recovery..

Getting back to the title thread. Hamilton was 40 points down on Vettel this time last year. Vettel has made 2 errors so far this year with Hamilton suffering from Mechanical errors.... Now Hamilton leaves on his summer break with a 24 point gap advantage. There are some strong Mercedes tracks out t...

I'm quite a fan of Alonso, but over the past few years McLaren have been no where at all. Fighting for a mid-field positions is not in Fernando's character. You can hear his frustration over the radio during each grand prix race. With next year's drivers line up in Indy cars, should Fernando jump sh...

Noni

Gasly and Ricciardo and then Hamilton.... Despite Bottas involved with those crashes, I thought he drove well to hold up the Ferrari's. Hamilton was able to control the pace.

Noni

Sorry mods here, but Vettel once again bounced back,,,, I hope this Mercedes issue is temporary... I'm bloody furious at this result and even refrained from swearing .

Planet F1 reporting Hamilton has signed a two year extension at £40m a year. Can someone explain to me why Merc would pay that sort of money when Alonso would drive the Merc for peanuts? It's not even as if Hamilton had many options, especially if he wants to win more titles. Hamilton makes Mercede...

I like Kimi. To be honest, but his career is over, time for fresh blood in F1. The problem with Ferrari, they only appear to be putting their eggs into one driver and that's Vettel. I hope I'm wrong here. Daniel would not allow Vettel to walk all over him. Not sure about Leclerc as a team mate ?......
