There are so many drivers now on Renault's 2017 possible driver list.

Obviously there are question marks about whether or not Magussen and Palmer keeping their drives next year.

Bottas, Massa, Perez are possibilities. I wonder if Estban Ocon will be loaned to Manor for next year?

paulsf1fix

Only a suggestion.......

When the safety car comes out why not get the commentators or someone selected maybe from FOM to interview the drivers..... like they do in indycar?

I think Sky's F1 coverage is excellent and channel 4's.

paulsf1fix

I'd like to say Sam Bird, shame he blew his chances of winning the GP2 title.

paulsf1fix

He will move to either McLaren, Renault or any other place nearer to his family. I have no link all though Im pretty sure I saw on the Sky f1 website recently under gossip that James Key could move over to Ferrari.... That would be sad news for Toro Rosso though, either that or they should give Ross...

paulsf1fix

I think this could happen for next year.

Williams: Button & Bottas
Renault: Massa & Ocon
Manor: Vandoorne & Wehrlein
Haas: Grosjean & Magnussen
Toro Rosso: Sainz & Gasly

paulsf1fix

Are all the seats in Formula e been secured yet? one will be now......

Thats where he'll go next year and will probably sign reserve and test driver role elsewhere next year.

paulsf1fix

It's very possible that it is. We won't know until Australia 2017.......

Oh and I wonder if Dan Ric stays on to find out.

Yup I did, he was just quite careful though. I admired him for 'helping' Lewis though.

paulsf1fix

It's been a tough year, I thought he looked good in Australia but since then he's gone right downhill it's a real shame because he was the one I really supported in GP2 in 2014. He was fast and was a good overtaker, if I was running the team I would give Esteban Ocon more time in the car but I'd swa...

paulsf1fix

The GP2 commentator on Thursday (during the feature race) was saying that Button, Lynn and Nasr are being considered for a Williams drive next year. So maybe Bottas or Massa are leaving, I also wonder if Renault will (sadly) replace Palmer for Esteban Ocon next year if they can't get hold of Vandoor...

He, Ron Dennis got a Schumacher to drive one of his cars once but it was Ralf.... (only for a test)

paulsf1fix

I am too a big fan of the note books but he seemed a bit star struck with her, I liked the way he told her she could get a river bus back to where she needed to go. It was a little awkward, he should have asked the footballer about F1 and not about the Euro's as he said he knew nothing about. Overal...

paulsf1fix

No I don't agree, it's a bit better this year than last year. They are planning to make a big engine upgrade, soon according to (Autosport)

paulsf1fix

I think Alonso has a contract with McLaren for next year, dunno why Rosberg wants to move to Ferrari. However Hamilton Vs Alonso again would make great viewing and it could mean that JB doesn't get the chop from McLaren......

paulsf1fix

I thought Alonso has a contract with McLaren for next year?

The F1 silly season is one to watch this year, however Wolff could be onto something though

paulsf1fix

Who won the Offical DOTD? on the F1 website.

I would vote for Verstappen, Sainz, Massa and Button (for passing Gutiérrez towards the end)

Sadly I didn't really think either Ferrari driver deserved DOTD. Unless Kimi had passed Max on the last lap.

paulsf1fix

I hope that Palmer doesn't get the chop I don't think he's done anything wrong.

Esteban Gutiérrez has done OK but his car has been unreliable compared to Grosjean's but he still needs to deliver.

paulsf1fix

Honda have a couple of options and they are to me quite limited, They could offer units to Sauber, if they are cheaper than the Ferrari ones. Force India is a possibilty (again if they become more affordable compared to the Mercedes deal) Red Bull they are better off with the Tag's (Renault) at the ...

paulsf1fix

I am voting Manor, I like Nasr though. I've been pretty impressed with the Manor drivers this year.

paulsf1fix

Hi Guys, I need some advice please, I've booked to see the British GP this year and I have bought a seat at Vale and club corner in C section. I really do not want to pay the £50.00 - £60.00 and been looking at the cheaper alternative park and ride, what I would like to know is it easy to find? and ...

Had Eddie Irvine won the 1999 that would have made a great film. I sometimes wonder if the film 'Driven' that stars Sylvester Stallone is loosely based on the 1994 F1 season, originally he (Stallone) wanted to do it about F1 but Bernie wouldn't give him full access to the world of F1 so he did it ab...

I wonder if Hulkenburg gets his marching orders, it'll be no fault of his own but I reckon they could probably need the cash from Alfonso Celis Jr. I hope not though.

paulsf1fix

Its seems they are weighing up their options, I read the article and I quote Marchionne is quoted by Italy's Autosprint as answering simply: "If someone will assume all the debts..." I wonder how much is owed? also I wonder if they would move the team to Italy and if it effects the special relations...

paulsf1fix

I've used Wikipedia, also the official F1 website used to give a lot of older F1 race results and then it got a revamp. Now I think the results have come off, sadly. I also like Autosport race results and ebay for finding old Autosport's for them, I recently bought one for the Australian GP results ...

So would the fastest lap times in the sprint races determine the grid for Sunday? Could the Saturday 'race' have it's own championship table? or would that be confusing, I'm a little bit against the idea otherwise the Championship could be won on the Saturday and the Sunday would be or could become ...

I think Williams could do with Ruth Buscombe from Hass, she is chief strategist there.

paulsf1fix

I don't get it, I thought I've seen a few new sponsors on the Sauber cars. Surly they have enough in the bank to see the season through to the end?

Very strange.

paulsf1fix

I feel bad for Alonso, it'll be interesting to see how Vandoorne goes this weekend. I actually thought (so did a few other people connected in F1) that Jolyon Palmer did OK in his debut and did some good wheel to wheel stuff with other drivers- who were / are in quicker cars. I think Stoffel will do...

paulsf1fix

Very impressed. Liked the use of the 'chain' and the title cards The new presenter seemed to know what he was talking about and didn't seem nervous, I will watch their live coverage as I like D.C and Ben Edwards. I'll record their highlights show even if I watch the live one on Sky.... I really thin...

If we had a wet race it would liven things up a bit!!

I'm pretty pleased with Channel 4's lineup, it's good. I reckon Murray Walker will do some features rather do commentary for them.

paulsf1fix

I know this sounds random but I goggled a search for Channel 4 + 1 and came across this!

Great news if this is true and hopefully a full announcement is made next week.

They the VW group will be fined billions over 'emissionsgate' so this has probably been the real reason for ruling out F1, all though VW could have bought the Caterham team on the cheap! oh well.

Here's hoping McLaren sand bagged last week then!

paulsf1fix

It's in early (ish) stages

Their F1 website, I'm looking forward to C4 announcing their lineup soon as much as the new season starting off!

I'm pleased for Alex Rossi to find a good drive in the indycar series, in some ways it's a better deal than had he stayed in F1. I wish him all the best for 2016, not that he might not read these comments. Who knows if he goes well then the door might re-open for him in F1 in the future but I doubt ...

paulsf1fix

It's quite sad that Alex Rossi lost his seat, I thought he did OK against Stevens and he (Alex) finished 2nd in the drivers GP2 Championship, a real shame that an American sponsor couldn't have been found. Maybe he could still find a ride in indycar and prove his former employers they were wrong to ...
