Unarkali, a chemical business run by Nikita Mazepin's father has claimed the administrators didn't act in the best interests of the team. Unarkali also made a bid to buy the team but most of their emails / calls went unanswered & there was a lack of communication. Excerpts frm the article below: 'U...

I'm not going to steal his suggestion but did Paul Tracey or Michael Andretti suggest when Dan Wheldon died involving the catch fencing bullet proof glass?

I just hope Robert Wickens will be alright.

I think though if Norris moves over to Toro Rosso then McLaren need for him to do some practice one sessions for them when the F2 season finishes, if Russell takes the F2 title then hopefully he will get a Williams seat if Mercedes offer them a big discount for engines and gearboxes. Also Ferrari sh...

Rumour has it that Mercedes are talking to McLaren about having Estaban Ocon on loan there, I can't remember where I've read this but I have.

I've read or heard that Alonso has a contract with Toyota to race in the World endurance championship next year even if he wins this year, I can definitely see the Indycar project happening and Honda seem all right about working with him again. McLaren also it seems wanna be involved but they wont b...

Fernando makes an announcement on Tuesday that'll be interesting...... (if it happens) he stays on at McLaren Indycar with Andretti Retires but takes part in the 500 again and maybe World Endurance Also I've thinking about Carlos Sainz options. Red Bull McLaren Haas Force India Toro Rosso but wouldn...

I think it's a good move from Dan, he is certainly quick and it will be interesting to see him and Nico Hulkenburg head to head. I think Dan will be quicker and then for 2020 they will replace Hulk with Ocon….

I'm wondering if Lance doesn't drive for Force India next year and goes into team management instead. A similar thing happened when the Diniz family bought into Prost.... If he races it will be him and Robert Kubica unless Mercedes convinces them to carry on with Ocon, I can see Perez moving to Haas...

This is good news! I just hope that everyone involved still funds this team properly and they just keep it afloat like Midland did.

I've read so many reports about this situation that would just turn into an essay.

paulsf1fix

I don't get it, they have sponsors and surely a good budget?

Like what another poster has put if the Stroll family buys them then I'm worried about Williams....

Maybe, Ferrari should really reconsidering their driver policy. Räikkönen keeps avoiding to win a race, even despite being in the best or co-best car for one-a-half seasons. And how many potential wins/podiums has Vettel thrown away by driving mistakes in the last 20 or so races? Six?!? That is way...

For me,

Hamilton, Bottas (I voted for him as he kept it clean with Hamilton and settled in to not being allowed to pass) & Ericsson (he kept out of trouble)

I wish Leclerc scored today and I think Hartley did well. (scored a point in tricky conditions)

paulsf1fix

Mercedes - Hamilton/Bottas Confirmed Ferrari - Vettel/Raikkonen Confirmed Red Bull - Ricciardo/Verstappen Confirmed, all though Ricciardo is expected to stay unless Ferrari make a last ditch approach if they decide Leclerc isn't ready yet Renault - Ocon/Hulkenberg Haas - Magussen/Perez Force India -...

Me personally feel it's a bit early for Leclerc to Ferrari (lack of experience) however they say if he's good enough then he's old enough. It's an interesting situation as Ferrari could put Charles in the car for testing in Hungary after the GP, At the same test Sauber could put either Antonio Giovi...

It's being reported that Ferrari are or could promote Charles Leclerc to replace Kimi Raikkonen for 2019, this is being reported by Autosport. Last time they did this report in which they list 'Autosport has learned' it was about Red Bull going with the Honda engines. So if this happens I wonder if ...

It is being reported by Autosport that Red Bull will switch to Honda engines for 2019 and an announcement could be made at the French GP weekend. It's an interesting development, what will they do about Aston Martin and will Adrian Newey stay beyond this season. There are rumours he could join Renau...

Another thing if Charles Leclerc goes to Haas where does Grosjean go? because does Kevin Magnussen have a contract for next year and his race performances so far this season be enough to keep him board? (with has) unless Ferrari and Sauber do a deal where the latter buys Ferrari parts?

paulsf1fix

The silly season is interesting, if Mercedes signs Daniel Ricciardo where does Valtteri Bottas move to? Also Kimi Raikkonen wants to renew his Ferrari contract, Ferrari shopping lists include Daniel Ricciardo and Charles Leclerc. Charles Leclerc has also been linked to a move to Haas. The silly seas...

It's amazing that old F1 cars are valued at £4m.

I hope Bernie looks after it.

The commenters on Sky-F1 today were saying there are rumours that Pascal Wehrlein could replace Hartley as early as the Canadian GP. I've heard this rumour before that Helmet Marko isn't happy with Brendon Hartley's performance this year. Seems a bit harsh but Red Bull have a habit of doing this whe...

So did Hamilton in Bahrain. Is it true there was more overtaking in the indycar season opener than F1 had in the entire 2017 F1 season? I thought I saw it somewhere on the net. I wish a tv network would show extended highlights of the indycar series as it looks good, channel 5 used to back in the da...

I just hope any potential buyer of Force India can afford this team, it's a great little team. Lets see what happens in the next few days or so.

Also it will be interesting to see if F.I or Brabham turn up at next weeks test.

Zorg Zander's first F1 car in years...

It looks like a Force India, from last year. I think.

paulsf1fix

The car reminds me of a Force India! and have they copied Ferrari sidepods from last year. We will soon get use to Halo, I think F1 could keep an eye on indycar's solution the screen but now it feels like it is what it is.

It was interesting, I didn't mind Michael Douglas narrating it. It needed to be a seperate production away from the familiar people seen on Sky or and Channel 4.

paulsf1fix

It looks OK,it's how it performs that counts.

paulsf1fix

Drivers - Verstappen / Rakkonen (unless he's too old) if so Vettel
Team Principal - Bob Fernley
Colours - Red, white and blue
Engine - Mercedes
Race Engineer - Peter Bonnington or Rocky unless he's retired

What about throwing in your dream title sponsor into the mix? A Virgin backed F1 team!

Secret Squirrel Racing is the team name of my team I use whilst playing Motorsport Manager!

I don't always comment on indycar stuff but good news for Jordan King to get a ride in the series this year, it's not full time and does not include ovals but it's still very good news for him and for British motorsport.

I've read from various F1 sites including this one that Robert Kubica lacked speed over one lap, so in my opinion as I really wanted Kubica to comeback (there's still a chance) Kimi is the better option for Ferrari. So until Sergey Sirotkin is officially announced at Williams for 2018 there is still...

This doesn’t get them around the rule regarding supplying more than 4 teams does it? Example, could Ferrari say “Haas and Sauber don’t have Ferrari engines, theirs are Alfa and Maserati. We can provide for FI, Red Bull and Williams”? I see it as the other way around. If Red Bull are without an engi...

I keep reading Kubica was well off the pace and that Williams are dilemma over deciding who partners up with Stoll, I have also heard that Di Resta was faster than Kubica. I think if Kvyat sorts out his head and consistency problems he would be a good choice for Williams, I also hear he can offer th...

I wish Massa a happy retirement, I wonder who he will drive for in Formula e though?

Also I saw on the Autosport site all though it was someone's opinion probably not factual are linking Kubica to race for Williams in Abu Dhabi. I don't know if that will happen.....

Yes a big Well Done to Force India for securing 4th in the Constructors.
