Re: Rejoining the track when you'd at sideways on to the tra
Surely with the modern electronics sending virtual safety car data to the driver, it also ought to be possible for race control to tell a stationary spun driver warnings to stay stationary until the track is clear to rejoin the circuit? How exactly would they do that? Vocally to the driver? I don't...

Re: Vettel and his Ferrari drive
No, there is no one better to replace him with. Maybe Mick Schumacher drives for Alpha next year and they promote him in 2021 when Vettel's contract expires. If he's ready that quickly.

Too much. Why don't they group them together? Do a European tour then an Asian tour, North American tour etc..

I don't think a budget cap will ever work. How can it? Who will govern the spending? Teams can easily find ways to hide spending. Also what are teams supposed to do if they hit the cap?

Re: Should Bottas contract be extended?
It would be nice to see someone actually challenge Hamilton in the same equipment. During a race I feel Vettel and Verstappen can easily dispatch Bottas in inferior equipment.

Vettel easily #1. I don't think the rest of the drivers on the list combined have as many win as he did in Red Bull. Plus he's the only one on the list to pole or win in a Toro Rosso. Dominant stretch.

Re: Anyone have any radical ideas to fix F1?
They should offer more testing days for teams in the back of the championship. Last place teams get more testing days available. Second to last get some but not as many and so on.
Could help smaller teams bridge the gap to the larger teams.

That was dumb. If they weren't going to let Leclerc pass Vettel they should have at least attempted a pit for fastest lap. I guess you have to weight the risk reward factor. The whole weekend was a fail for Ferrari.

I think Seb lost it for Ferrari. Too many mistakes. Lewis had a clean season. Verstappen had quite a few mistakes as well. From what I can remember Ricciardo had a fairly clean season with horrible mechanical luck. Alonso probably would have done well but still complained about something.
