That's too bad. I wish him well. Ironically a trip I have been looking at for 2021 to Monaco features him as a guide for the tour. I hope we get to see him then.

Bottas for me. Fast, level headed, accepting of the role.

Even if they are wrong the scale will be about right. Is it any wonder there are issues at Ferrari when Vettel is reported to be on $56,000,000 and Charles Leclerc (Ferrari): $4,600,000 about 12 times his salary! Lando Norris (McLaren): $370,000, no wonder McLaren are pleased with him! No kidding. ...

I voted Danny Ric and another driver. Danny is isn't living the dream right now but he can still deliver.

Very interesting. Thanks for doing this.

I'm usually too drunk to remember most pub conversations but I've found that recently a lot more F1 fans are springing up at work (possibly due to my wearing F1-branded clothing around the office) and I'm sometimes chatting for 20+mins with people. One of our high-up management has just booked Monz...

For starters, the title is completely wrong and should have been FERRARI SLAYER, as that was the name of the GT40 program. It was named so because it was purposely created to teach the ever arrogant Enzo Ferrari and the entire world a lesson. I had the good fortune of meeting one of the lead mechan...

That man was just born fast. Congratulations Kyle.

Can we all just take a moment to remind ourselves of the wonderful moment during the race where Max came on the radio to complain that another driver, Lewis I think, had gone too fast through a yellow flag zone! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: You can't make this stuff up. Yes :lol: :lol: :lol: in th...

This is going to be a great race. Can't wait!

Re Indycar Penske news. I can't express how pleased I am. Roger settles for nothing less than the best and I am sure Indycar will be a much better organization because of this. Re F1 Mercedes rumour. Wow, that would be something wouldn't it. Can't help but think it's not really going to happen. It j...

Nice. If you can, watch some of the practice from the stairs up to the bridge over the track down by the S turns, it's not far from where you are. Looks great, have a good time!

I bet if this race did go ahead it would be the end of COTA. Replace a universally applauded purpose-built road course with yet another temporary, mickey mouse street circuit? Nonsense! :thumbdown: Oh I agree but look at the financial disaster COTA has been. It apparently is barely afloat according...

jimmyj

Pretty absurd stuff at the meeting. I bet if this race did go ahead it would be the end of COTA.

I wonder what will take place between the 2 Ferrari cars. I wonder if there will be any sort of team orders. Why would they? Because its a long run to turn one and if they plan to slipstream one another then that gives them the best chance to be 1-2 after turn one. A bit like Russia. I don't have a...

I wouldn't bet against it, all the way through turn 3. This should be good.

Food for thought. 3 place grid penalty to a safety infringement. 5 place grid penalty for a gearbox change. Bit backwards if you ask me. Agreed. Not hugely important in the grand scheme of things but the penalty system is probably something that F1 could do with sorting out Very good point. Totally...

How about as a test they add the screens and leave the mirrors for a season to see how it goes. I think this is a good idea, but until you use it in real life how would you know exactly how good it is.

jimmyj

Thank you. I am learning that a DIY trip may be the only feasable option.

jimmyj

I will totally be there.

jimmyj

So far my queries into this trip have been discouraging, the costs I am seeing are unbelievably high, shocking in fact. Still looking through.

jimmyj

Excellent discussion. I can't wait to see what happens.

jimmyj

I must be borderline dyslexic, everytime I read this thread title I see, "Verstappen needs his watch back" Ever since I read that I now see the same headline, oddly disturbing :uhoh: Same here. :D I think that if he needs to watch his back, perhaps all he needs to do is is adjust his mirrors. Or ju...

jimmyj

I can't understand how people continue to entertain the thought that Verstappen will have a choice of Merc or Ferrari for 2021. Leclerc's made Ferrari a closed shop for Verstappen. They're starting to have troubles controlling their drivers now. Verstappen & Leclerc as team mates? That's bound to e...

The first comment below the article is pure cruelty hahaha (says word is that they are already faster than Williams)

To ease the confusion I think we should call them Minardi and Sauber. You aren't getting those two confused.

Check out the Johnny Cash video for his version of the song Hurt. Very good and the story behind it is interesting too.

Asphalt_World wrote:Nice interview with Leclerc. Hope he can maintain his calm attitude outside of the car. It's refreshing. He could be seriously less happy sounding.

Charles continues to impress. He doesn't seem to suffer from the immaturity that some younger drivers have struggled with, on and off the track.

I think i can see steam coming out from Charles' helmet.

Vettel took a lot of risk there.
