Max said, with his words that Kimi moved right and then Seb moved left. So my question is, if we all know that didn't happen like that, why is he saying it like that ? This is how I saw it. Kimi had a car's width room on the left, but started moving right because he would never be able to take the ...

Max said, with his words that Kimi moved right and then Seb moved left. So my question is, if we all know that didn't happen like that, why is he saying it like that ? Maybe he perceived it like that from his POV? it was after the race, in the interview pin. During the race we kept seeing him talki...

Watching the video again, I think Verstappen also has to take some blame. The initial contact was Kimi's right rear wheel with Vertstappen's front left wheel. This happened because Verstappen was moving across on Kimi (who was running out of room). Yes, Verstappen was reacting to Vettel, but there ...

the incident in Max's words 12:15 . Please put video in parallel.

He said Kimi was squeezing him to the right and then Seb pushed him to the left. If that is the case, I think I have seen a different start.

Daniel's showing was beyond poor.

He's quite the loudmouth about taking oportunities, but yesterday for me it was just a bad showing from him.

Kimi steered into Max

PS: 0:16 0:17 why the hell is Max turning left, considering Vettel is still far away.

He got a poor start and as Daniel said, he's a sore loser.

Did Max actually swerve into Kimi to avoid Vettel? If so, then Vettel's chop caused the accident. this is actually the only issue here. Watching the picture in page 1, and looking only at Max from the start, he instantly goes left towards Kimi, with Vettel being distant from Max, when Max started t...

It just seems unlikely that Nico was the 'more vicious instigator' in the team - bearing in mind it took him a long time to mirror Lewis' aggressive race tactics (against his team mate!), not to mention AFAIK Nico hasn't fallen out with other drivers previously? On the other hand, Lewis has 'played...

Many times, too numerous to count, it was said over and over that McLaren should never give up the Honda engine because they would become just a customer team which meant that the works team (in this case Renault) would always have a better engine. They would have no chance to compete. Well, the re...

Finally, the news is official. I am so happy. Overjoyed. Actually beyond overjoyed. Watching McLaren go down the drain, weighted down by the feckless Honda engine, has been the second worst experience I have ever had with Formula One. How Honda lost their technical chops is truly a mystery. I know ...

I think its time to put money on Honda having power parity with Renault come the end of this season and then to be ahead of them come the first race of 2018 :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: we all know and you know as well that now it is "personal" for Honda. What happens next we wil...

paul_gmb

Even with that title sponsor, without the money from Honda, there are some tough times ahead financially. Unless they consider they can make this out of prize money. Then probably title sponsor and prize money should be there or there abouts. Wrong. Zak Brown from McLaren states that they have no n...

paul_gmb

It does indeed seem that the coup at Macca to oust Ron Dennis, was planned way ahead. It seems weird to me how Zak Brown managed to get sponsors for most of the teams, and Mclaren was the only one left behind. Now suddenly it seems that they will get a title sponsor for next year. Financially there...

paul_gmb

if this does turn out to be true, all I can hope for is that the decision is the right one. Considering that engines seems to have narrower gaps, it should not be a bad call. All I hope is that Renault and Honda are more or less on par next year at least. This is all that it's left to hope for. All ...

Interesting stuff here: https://joesaward.wordpress.com/2017/09/06/pure-speculation/ Like most people, Joe Saward expects McLaren to use Renault engines and Honda to supply STR. But he goes into more detail. He thinks Red Bull is looking for an exit plan from F1 by the end of 2020 for both its team...

At this point, considering things have gone quiet, I would say either Honda does not want to break in a friendly manner or Toro Rosso/RBR is not willing to change. Or worse, Honda is either Mclaren or the highway. Or is just Mclaren trying to lengthen the situation as much as possible... Tough days,...

It's clear that we are split into 2 groups, with the only common ground being we all support Mclaren. :))) I'm not old but also not young anymore. I am curious what is the average age of those of us supporting staying with Honda, and the ones that support the split. Maybe it's us older farts that c...

Autosport says 'McLaren hopes deal is imminent' whereas Marca are actually saying the deal is done. Basically the complication here is that Honda will only leave McLaren if they get another team to supply their wonders of technology to. Their next victim is supposed to be Toro Rosso, but no agreeme...

Ron must be laughing like crazy. At the same time, he is seeing all his work go down the drain. McLaren's problems over the last decade stem from Ron's mismanagement. I'm afraid I must agree. Although Ron's management style did bring success previously leaders must adapt to changing realities or th...

paul_gmb

no, it's exclusively the problem of the engine and the engine manufacturer. But making an engine takes time, so you either invest time or you do not. Mclaren chose NOT to continue it's investement and swap to Renault. Big mistake from my POV, but it is what it is. Ron must be laughing like crazy. At...

If i were honda, i,d do everything to win with toro rosso.

Japanese people have their pride. This will be funny as hell next year.

Altough it will be tragic for mclaren.

paul_gmb

i just can't stop thinking that such a deal would be a dream for Toro Rosso. If RBR are blocking this they are total idiots. Nobody cares about STR anyway ( especially RB ), so why not let someone pay bit of a bill. I'd even let Sainz go to Renault and put Kubica in. If they don't perform, change it...

at this moment there is no logical reason to switch to renault. None, whatsoever. Except if they think with their gearbox, they might do better. But, as we speak, i see no reason. Yes, I'd have to agree. It's not like they have a class-leading PU. To me it's stepping from the frying pan into the fi...

as I;m seeing in some news, and from what I can read into it, it's make or break this weekend. So, supposedly Honda will be bringing a new spec engine, or at least from what I've read from BBC. I guess we will know on Friday, or if not on Saturday who they go with for next year. If the deficit is in...

But for this season, Daniel has made his move, and reliability or not, Max has to do it now. No matter how reliability goes, questions logically remain to the one that hasn't answered them. Is he a great talent ? Yes. Question answered. Has he had some great drives ? Yes. Question answered. Is he a...

you have to ask wether Ricciardo still has anything left to prove Well, yes he has? What about him getting outqualified more often than not? What about him proving that he can be ahead of Verstappen without the latter having bad luck? I mean, I'm pretty sure at this point Verstappen's stock is at l...

I have seen drivers in the past with the same technical reliability luck as Verstappen. They got the boot at the end of the season. I am not saying he should get the boot, but you have to ask wether Ricciardo still has anything left to prove. I mean he took every sniff of opportunity he got. I think...

with Mario Illien you just know he will deliver a decent engine. Probably not a Mercedes, but more or less there or there abouts. If you take Renault as engine partner, you will be there or there abouts also. So why drop 115 mil ( 100 mil from Honda and 15 mil to pay for Renault engines ) to have th...

Vandoorne gets a 35 place grid penalty for getting a brand new Spec-3 Honda engine: https://www.f1today.net/en/news/f1/230481/vandoorne-receives-35-place-grid-penalty-for-home-gp That's not news anymore! i do hope at least they go mad and are testing a crazy spec.

What if they color the HALO, one with yellow one with black ?

This way we immediately know who is who. Bottas black Hamilton yellow. For me it would be easier.

All your replies are correct, and are more argumented than mine.

It's just that after seeing Rosberg do it, the whole logic that I was working on changed a bit.
