Billy only went and put his car on pole on his first return to Donington since the crash there that resulted in his legs being amputated, this kid is special in my opinion.

If they don't like it they can go elsewhere as far as I am concerned, they always manage to find something to moan about.

It's all well and good doing wind tunnel testing on these designs but surely the only way they are going to tell if it works is for the FIA to pay one of the teams to build two identical cars and get a couple of recently retired F1 drivers to drive them at a selection of circuits as some circuits ar...

It says Concept 2 in the picture so I wonder how many other concepts there are and how they differ.

owenmahamilton

Looks pretty good to me.

It's more like his 4th win in 8 races, which is still decent but hardly dominant. I'd hope/imagine he'll move up to F2 next year and we can judge him on that. I guess I misunderstood the report that I read, it says he has won at 4 successive rounds so sorry for the mistake: https://www.motorsport.c...

owenmahamilton

He seems to be doing pretty well in F3 after winning again today for his fourth win in a row, so when do you expect him to graduate to F1 and for which team?

owenmahamilton

I didn't see the need to create another new thread about Billy Monger so I will just add my comment onto here. He's currently racing in F3 where the cars currently don't have a Halo, I wonder if he would be able to manage to get in and out of a car that has it fitted. If not then I think that's a bi...

If & whenever Stroll goes to Force India, Williams could employ either Nikita Mazepin or Artem Markelov, both which have wealthy fathers & wouldn't mind investing in the team. So it leaves Kubica out in the cold as sponsorship is a bigger priority than experience at Williams. http://www.grandprix.c...

Just seen this on the Planet F1 home page:

If true I wonder what team it was.

Alonso (and McLaren) to Indycar pretty much confirmed.

I was surprised that Rich Energy hadn't sent out an angry tweet like they did when Force India went into administration, so I just checked their twitter feed and they have actually congratulated the new owners. Lawrence Stroll may not be the best owner for the team but I think that if Rich Energy ha...

Just came across this video on Youtube, I like it when they do this sort of thing, it only ever seems to be Red Bull that does it though which is a shame.

Should Stroll buy the team, I am VERY curious to see what engines he chooses to run being as he is a Ferrari aficionado of sorts. :wink: I had the same thought. I've no idea when Force India's Mercedes engine deal runs until - the only information I can find about it is that it was last reported as...

owenmahamilton

If it is indeed Lawrence Stroll buying the team, I fear the worst for Williams to be honest, yes they get rid of a not very good driver but they also lose a lot of income in 2019 as well especially with Martini pulling out of F1 at the end of the 2018 season.

I was going to speculate whether the halo would still be needed with these much stronger helmets but I guess it is here to stay until the FIA come up with something better.

owenmahamilton

I was going to create a topic along these lines a while back but never got round to it. What I would like to see is say 6 engine manufacturers in F1 who each run their own works team but also supply one other team. That way you would have 12 teams in total but the engine manufacturers would only hav...

owenmahamilton

This doesn't sound good, reading the article it sounds like someone really screwed up somewhere, I'd be very surprised if they don't finish last this season.

I see that Leena Gade has left SPM already, I wonder if they are blaming her for Hinch failing to qualify.

I wonder what this means (if anything) for Toro Rosso. Would Red Bull want Honda engines in both teams?

I don't know how many people are signed up to this forum but I'm surprised that so far only 9 people (including myself) from the forum have signed up to the Fantasy F1 game and joined the PF1 league.

This is now live at the following link.

If the mods want to move this topic to the gaming forum then that's fine.

This is a great story, it's a shame that as of now he doesn't have funding for a full season, hopefully someone will step up and give him the money that he needs to be able to do the whole season and to be able to compete at the same level as all the other drivers in the series.

owenmahamilton

I just looked on the official F1 website just to check when the next race is and what time it starts here in the UK and on the main screen of the website it mentions something called F1 Fantasy and it says it's coming soon. I just thought I'd mention it if anyone's interested.

owenmahamilton

There was an interesting (worrying?) conversation about the theme tune on the F1 Word last night https://youtu.be/OB1JF2PX92w?t=933 involving its use during the race. Have a listen and see what you think. One of the sources they reference i think is this tweet https://twitter.com/Fitcho_/status/976...

owenmahamilton

I'm not really sure when this new theme music is meant to be played. If it's to replace this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BJx_ll01fU Then in my opinion it's far too long, also it sounds way too much like a movie soundtrack which I suppose seeing as that is what the guy who wrote it is famous fo...
