Re: More cars for top teams.

Please no.

Mercedes just needs to make its own feeder team like red bull has done.

Not Williams or FI, a new team.

It must have been a slightly humbling experience for Ocon. Perez had his number on this occasion. Gasly looked a level or two above Hartley who at least rear gunned manfully when asked. It was a very difficult one for the Renault team, next race won't be easy either. They could come under pressure ...

Re: Alonso's legacy in F1

Alonso will serve as a reminder of how much of this sport is about the car you drive rather than the skills of the driver.

As such, make no moves to alienate the top teams in the sport, otherwise even one of the best will be regulated to the best of the rest series.

If he continues to finish near the bottom with a much better car than the Williams he is currently in, that says all there is to say about him deserving to be in Formula One.
