Fingers crossed that once they get this sorted the rest of the weekend is void of anything but the usual issues.

Poor Williams. Of all the teams for it to happen to, it had to be them.

I'm a big fan of Williams, not exactly what they wanted,

IMO , Red Bull have won races pretty much every season. This big question is the Honda engines. I do feel reliability is a big issue here?. Could win between 2-4 races this year ?.

For me, has to be McLaren. Got 2 good drivers in the team and they can only move forward IMO

I believe this went to who finally got it first. Not the times.

Can you name the drivers, year and race circuit?... in which 3 F1 drivers got the same pole time?

Looking at Bottas' rating on the best driver line ups for 2019, I voted for him. My heart goes out to Bottas, he could of had a better year had this bad luck not effected him. I hope he gets a chance to score a couple more wins next year. I don't think after 2019, his contract will get re-newed :-(...

Noni

Perhaps Grosjean. He finished behing K-Mag in the points table, but in recent times when both have clean races it tends to be Grosjean who is ahead. I think he'll have a much stronger 2019. I would agree with you, however most years he's been involved in some sort of driver error of sorts and crash...

Noni

Cannot argue with pokerman's selection at the start. But would add Kimi and drop Nico Huldenberg in that top 10

Noni

1. Vettel / Leclerc (8 / 9)
~ 2. Hamilton / Bottas (10 / 7)
~ 2. Verstappen / Gasly (10 / 7)
4. Ricciardo / Hulkenberg (9 / 7)
~ 5. Sainz / Norris (7 / 7)
~ 5. Russell / Kubica (7 / 7)
7. Raikkonen / Giovinazzo (8 / 6)
8. Perez / Stroll (8 / 5)
9. Grosjean / Magnussen (6 / 7)
10. Kvyat / Albon (5 / 6)

Button is also really good though, hopefully this means no more Herbert

Whats wrong with Herbert. ?

Noni

Though i know each team and driver, it does seem difficult at times. Who knows the number of the car, who's driving?

It must seem difficult to new fans of the spot . !!!

Noni

I've noticed that Alonso has a car flag design on his car... Wow!!, I'm really impressed

If your new to motorsport, why don't they incorporate their countryman's driver's flag on each team's car?... It's often difficult to pick out the driver in some cases.

Just a thought!!

Noni

I'm hoping Daniel wins tomorrow after Max's performance today. His arrogance disappoints me!......

If Hamilton wins tomorrow, it will be 5 in a row at Austin, equalling Senna's record of 5 consecutive wins at the same circuit (Monaco 89 - 93) - Hamilton was on course to equal this at Silverstone. What happened at Silverstone? 8O He didn't win. I was thinking more about why he didn't win. I thoug...

Noni

Retirement age 39, I'm not sure Hamilton will be around that long, Schumacher retired when he was 37, that would have been a more interesting comparitor given it's Schumaher's record that's being chased? as you wish... 1. Hamilton = 92 2. Schumacher = 91 3. Vettel = 80 4. Prost = 51 5. Senna = 41 6...

If Lewis retains his winning form, he would want to make sure Vettel cannot catch up.

Noni

Many of these records are Wikipedia footnotes The main one is clearly the number of WDC and race wins. - Race wins is probably more likely . WDC is possible but I guess luck will play a part. Blown engines and a Gravel Trap in the pits ! are both things that have cost Lewis an extra 2 WDCs and nobo...

Please no. Mercedes just needs to make its own feeder team like red bull has done. Not Williams or FI, a new team. Yes, I suppose the more I think about what I said earlier, another team would help matters , like Red Bull have done. Just thinking about what I said earlier, would make those top team...

Being reading a lot lately after the silly season has almost been concluded and what has become quite a shocking transfer seasons I've ever witnessed in F1. Catapulted by a surprised signing to Renault by Daniel, has made several drivers scratching their heads for next season, specially Ocon. Most c...

To me, Hamilton has got better with age. I am still confused why Kimi has not won a grand prix since his return to F1 :uhoh: ... It appears that Vettel does not like pressure compared to Hamilton, who thrives on it. :) Also, I've noticed that Hamilton's results get better in the 2nd half of the seas...

Noni

My interest remains the same.

F1 motorsport evolves around technology, always have done!...

You cannot criticize drivers that go along with regulations and the FIA. I do agree, we need more teams and regulated prize money, so the other teams can catch up.

Noni

Listening to Toto today it looks like Ocon is out for next season. It also seems like he has a great chance of a Merc drive in 2020. Bottas is under huge pressure going into next season. He's been unlucky this season, he should have more points from the first third of the season, this and the fact ...

Noni

I think the 1st lap.

The 1st and 2nd practice indicate that Mercedes have improved here!...

Another crash by Vettel already in 2nd practice. I'm hoping the nerves are getting to him!...

Noni

I voted Max > Ocon >Leclerc as of 2018. 2019 will be different With Leclerc moving to Ferrari next year, it will take him probably 6 races to settle in and may even challenge Vettel in a couple of races. I'm not sure about the Honda & Red Bull partnership, specially with Honda's reliabilities issues...

Noni

Agree on everything that has been said here!... :) I love Kimi too bits, but he's not challenged Vettel or won any races sinces going back to Ferrari again. That surprises me a lot!! 8O Have no doubt that Leclerc will win several races over a couple of years and with that in mind, Ferrari will alrea...

I guess it's going to continue like this until 2021? Pay drivers are always going to happen it's just thrown into stark relief when compared to the talent we are losing. Teams take on pay drivers as a means to survive, budget caps and in particular a fairer distribution of prize money hopefully may...

Hamilton, Raikkonen, Bottas, because: Hamilton: Was hanging in there and managed to make it stick when it mattered. Raikkonen: There is nothing he could've done better after being sandwiched by the Mercs. Not a foot wrong in the whole weekend, but lost to Merc's team effort. Bottas: Basically the i...

Noni

Well pleased for Kimi, sort of confirms that Vettel is number 1 in that team by politics rather than pure ability. I wonder how far Kimi would go to retain P1 in a dash to the first corner? People forget Kimi is a world champion too! It will either end in the pits or at the start. If Kimi is that g...

I've not voted. I think RBR have been deceiving and have done it more than one occasion. They've often denied preferences inside the team which is a lie. They've even denied Marko having any real influence in the team which again is a lie. With the comments Horner made regarding Ric.. that he was a...

I have no problem with Croft, I think he does the lead commentator job quite well in terms of keeping things engaging when nothing is happening on track. . I agree, though I'm not a fan of Crofty, you need another Murray Walker who shows excitement and the calmness of Martin Brundle showing wisdom....

https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/138279/mercedes-possible-driver-swaps-like-chess-pieces Looks like Vandoorne might be the odd man out. I can see Stroll going to Force India, with Ocon replacing Vandoorne mid-season and also joining Sainz for next year. Norris will have one more year in F2 (probab...

Noni

Persoanlly I think Ocon is a better driver then Perez. I like both drivers and equally talented IMO!.... To have Ocon sitting on the sidelines will dent those prosperous stars without money. I don't think Stroll is at that same level of Ocon or Perez IMO.. Please give OCON a good seat please!!... :-P

What a terrible name. Why not get rid of Force India right then and there? What a completely stupid name! It must be the most awful name in formula one's history! For legal reasons and the F1 Championship, they needed to keep the Force India name. According from the press interview, it appears they...

Alonso seriously claims that he had an offer from Red Bull in 2011 and rejected it. Does that mean he was afraid of Vettel? I also would say both are to blame. In regards to previous contracts, Alonso wanted that Ferrari seat and not Red Bull!.... Alonso is not afraid of anyone. He admitted had he ...
