Re: Rightio. Who's it gunna be??

There are some reports doing the rounds where Mercedes wish to acquire Vettel for 2018, which means Bottas would be given a 1 year contract. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/f1-autosport/752845/Mercedes-shock-swoop-Ferrari-Sebastian-Vettel-join-Lewis-Hamilton Would Bottas leave a secure place like Wil...

Re: Will drivers be affected if F1 cars revert to manual tra

Manual gears in the pinnacle of motorsport! Doesn't add up.... Well if things like CVT are banned, it is a matter of degrees I would love to see Manual gears back in F1. There is some additional feel to it which is not in automatic gears. But F1 cars are semi-automatic aren't they which is a blend ...

Re: Manor in administration

Time we crowdfunded a fan-owned F1 team! Wasn't this done with another team a few years back? Or maybe a driver, I can't remember. I think Ron should step up and throw his hat back into the F1 ring with a new project. I don't want to think he's done with F1 yet. Brabham http://www.executivestyle.co...

The more I think about this, the more I wish for the choice to be Wehrlein.

My impression was that Ocon was much closer in race pace , particularly towards the end of the season. Ocon also thumped Werhlein in Brazil. So how do we know if that's unimpressive or not?

Re: Is Bottas really fast enough to go up against Hamilton?

Bottas will be good but he may not be able to challenge for wins. Incase Hamilton retires (dare I say due to engine blowup), Bottas may take the win then.

Bottas will surely be having a very anxious Christmas & New Year as he must be itching to get in the Mercedes car.

So now we have Wolff saying he didn't sign Wehlein because he didn't want a repeat of 2007: Wolff told Kolner Express, “Lewis and Pascal would be an explosive mixture. What I want to avoid is the Alonso-Hamilton scenario [of 2007]. I will not go there.” http://www.grandprix247.com/2016/12/22/wolff-...
