Re: Mercedes grovelling apology disgusting

I'm really taken aback that more hasn't been made of Mercedes allowing the chief strategist to self-flagellate so publicly like that on Lewis's radio. I'm angry at Lewis's sulking triggering it, but it is highly beneath Mercedes to have allowed that grovelling apology. The team should always come f...

Re: McLaren vs Honda 2018

Honda made some progress, granted. But other than a few glorious years as the very best two/three decades ago, they have only ever struggled in F1.

They wont provide free engines to mid-level team and NOBODY is willing to pay for the pleasure. When you look at Honda's track record in F1, it is highly over rated. With the excepti...

Re: If you were Vijay and Otmar....

The problem with instituting team orders with these two is this: Who really believes they will be followed?

The money Perez brings with him is important, but remember that money was not enough to save Maldonado. At some point the cost benefit analysis breaks down against a chaotic pay driver.
