Can anyone else foresee an engine swap between Mclaren and Williams? That’s my bold prediction, Mclaren will negotiate and get themselves a Merc deal at the expense of Williams What would be in it for Merc? I think it makes much more sense for them to have Williams as a customer. Haven't Williams u...

But isn't this why he was employed to drive alongside Vettel rather than a more experienced driver?

What have we learnt after the Australian Grand Prix that wasn't expected and wasn't thought of in the off season?

Kev627

Who is going to have the first race win of 2019? Will Ferrari or Mercedes be battling for the win or will Red Bull, Haas or even McLaren take the honours?

Kev627

Only races where Renault and Mclaren will finish ahead if RBR have a DNF. It is very unlikely both cars to have DNF. Hopefully the gap between midfield and top team is not huge. Last year Max and Ricciardo starting behind were easily able to clear the pack and midfield did not even put a fight. Red...

I agree with Fiki, ban the radio altogether! All pit car communication is to be done using pit boards.

How much more developing of cars can the teams do between now and the first race?

Kev627

How could the teams develop clutches to increase performance from standardised gearboxes?

How I would like to see the WCC at the end of the season.

1. Ferrari
2. Red Bull
3. McLaren

I know, unlikely but stranger things have happened!

Merecedes looks very regretful in signing Bottas for 2019 with their latest statements. Expecting him to match Hamilton, or the seat is gone. So, he needs to be close to top 5 best ever F1 driver in history to keep his seat. What an insane pressure is that. But isn't that was F1 should be all about...

What about a points system? Failures earn a driver points depending on it's severity and when a driver gets a certain number of points he gets a grid penalty, a higher number of points will then get a second penalty and so on.

Are used Hypersofts actually any good? I would have thought they would only be any good for a couple of laps.

Will Sebastian Vettel finish ahead of his team mate Kimi Raikkonen at the 2018 Japanese Grand Prix?

Kev627

Raikkonen winning a couple of races next season with Sauber.

Could this be part of Silly Season 2019?

Kev627

I hoping for a Ferrari one two, Vettel, Kimi with Verstappen third with Hamilton totalling his car on the Curva Grande on lap 1 whilst fighting with Bottas for position in to the second chicane.

Due to Alonso's poor or badly timed team moves and his reluctance to stay with good teams despite his 2 WDCs I never think of Alonso as a particularly fantastic driver at all. Very much a case of 'so what?'. How do badly timed moves affect how good he is at driving? He might be a very good driver b...

Where do we think Zak Brown and Eric Boullier might be looking as a replacement for Alonso as I'm not sure he'll be around for much longer?

Kev627

Bottas had to ease off towards the end as he was running out of fuel,so without the early safety car he would have run out!

There's too many accidents because of "cool" tires. Most other racing series in the WORLD deal with COLD tires - I thought F1 drivers were supposed to be the best in the world and they can't deal with 'cool' tires. Give me a F'n break.

If Massa hadn't been partnered with Michael Schumacher at Ferrari in 2006, 2007 and 2008 would he have still managed to finish the WDC so highly and would he still be considered average / mediocre by some?
