Yes, unless an existing driver on one of those teams were to block him. Two reasons: 1) to get a driver with promise, 2) to get him out of the Ferrari.

Good points. I am not too concerned with the half day in London proper other than the best way to get there from Heathrow. For the full day, we would like to see and experience places like perhaps Shere? If we rent a car, we could maybe visit a few places in a given area? Suggestions to off the beat...

Blake

Much to my surprise my brother said he would prefer to take our full day in England to visit a quaint village/city of two where we could experience the rural culture/life/architectural of the country. As for hotel is near Heathrow, we would be looking for convenient train routes, or bus...I don't th...

minchy wrote:Probably not the suggestion you want, but get out of London! Try Bath or York or somewhere instead

Minchy, I could go for that, but I suspect my brother might prefer the landmarks. Are Bath and York reasonable day trips from Heathrow?

Blake

Thanks for all the suggestions. I am traveling with my brother who wood cathedral to the north pole barefoot than visit an Art museum, but the museum's certainly appeal to me! I might be able to convince him t to see the Imperial War Museum, however. Sounds fascinating to me. I saw a Thames river cr...

Blake

Hmmmmmm. Leclerc gets a contract and Vettel gets trashed again.

Blake

I am going to be in London for a short stay in early March of '20. I have a room near Heathrow, and have two nights and what amounts to a day and half to explore. So...I am looking for suggestions both regarding public transportation and "must see" activities. One source has suggestion a train to Vi...

Hamilton is arguably the quickest driver of his generation. That being said, we should not ignore his history, of questioning the team and becoming toxic when faced with a worthy teammate. The top teams are learning that the best driver combination is one star and one sedate and quiet teammate who ...

Blake

Definitely agree, Ferrari is a pressure cooker and actually he performed TOO well in his first season, because he essentially became Ferrari's lead driver in only his 2nd F1 season. As I mentioned in my original post I feel like he needs a mentor or something of the sort, and I feel Hamilton would ...

Blake

This thread is about Tifosi wishful thinking, as usual. You heard it here first... Hamilton will finish his career at Mercedes. "Tifosi wishful thinking, As usual"??? There are very few Tifosi comments (maybe Siao & definitely me), the OP is not a Tifosi either. Sorry to disillusion you, DFW. ;)

Blake

Too many factors to be considered to make such a call at this date.

Blake

Good post, funky

Imagine if Manchester United has a veto on how the Premier League worked? It’d be crazy. The teams shouldn’t have a say in decisions on the rules. Definitely involve them in finding out what they think but final decisions shouldn’t be voted on/vetoed by teams. the teams SHOULD have a say in decisio...

Blake

We're they the only team in favor of the Veto use against the price cap? I was thinking nearly all of the engine manufacturers objected to being forced to selling their engines at a lost??? Can't imagine why? ;) That's not the point. This isn't about evil Ferrari. It would be just as wrong for a sp...

Blake

Has Ferrari ever used the Veto or abused it? If not Ferrari, who should represent the teams with veto power? I seriously doubt that Ferrari or any on F1 team would exercise the Veto without broad support from other teams. They blocked a cap on the amount manufacturers could charge for engines. Nobo...

If no team has a say, then the teams have no real power in the directives passed down. as long as the threat of a Veto is present, the teams have an "ace" in the game. Personally, I feel the Veto power is a good thing and would have no problem with it being rotated amongst the top teams. I would, ho...

Is there any chance the list is just made up to include the best candidates, regardless of race? I don't know much about them, but am curious when race percentages are brought into an equation. Do candidate percentages have to match population demographics? The answer to both of those questions are...

Scouse... Long time no see. Hope things are going well for you.

Blake

It's already been covered but LH's apology means nothing as it was better to look the 'bigger man' and own up to a supposed wrong doing when the titles are already won and you don't really care about the points anyhow. It worked too as I saw an article written last week criticising the Ferrari driv...

Blake

There is no way on this earth ferrari have been acting within the spirit of the rules. I would call it cheating. This is year 6 of the hybrid engines. Performance generally converges over time, especially when there is such limited room for improvement. mercedes have done an incredible job on their...

Blake

So... Even though Lewis said it was his fault, it was Albon's.

Blake

It's simple. The FIA are never going to out ferrari. To do so would blow up F1. Liberty can't even stop ferrari from getting the extra 100 million. They will keep coming out with a directives to stop whatever they are doing. This is all controlled as a business decision to keep the money flowing. A...

Blake

Then why the comment on me taking part in the discussion? I have to assume then you simply ignored my previous posts and keep asking the same question but only want answers that agree with your own thinking? Even P-F1 have run an article pointing out the drop in performance of Ferrari since the TD ...

Blake

Vettel was 99% ahead and made the move fraction too early. Charles knew what was coming but still did not want to give up. That incident is being blown away out of proportion. It is was racing incident and sadly for Ferrari there was huge consequence for it. Agreed. Racing incident. Amazing consequ...

Blake

Yeah Ferrari are damned if they do damned if they don't when it comes to team orders they genuinely get slated whatever their approach Indeed. Nothing wrong with Ferrari letting their drivers race each other, they should be commended for it. You'd hope that two drivers in the same team would be abl...

Blake

Kudos to Andy Green, the driver. Imagine strapping yourself into that monster knowing even the slightest of mistakes means near certain death. It seems as though the drivers often get neglected in telling the story of land speed record cars. Ironic isn't it that in other forms of racing it is the ca...

Blake

True. I wonder if they have taken downforce off the car to improve straight line speed in order to try make this story go away? So let me get this straight... If Ferrari is slower, it is because they were cheating. If Ferrari is faster it is because they are trying to cover up the suggestion that t...

Blake

Based on FP2 it seems Ferrari’s straight line speed advantage is back to where it was previously. Christian Horner said Red Bull we’re losing 0.7seconds on the straights. I’ve just read a tweet that says that Merc we’re losing 0.8-0.9 seconds. Qualifying and the race will obviously tell us more whe...

Hamilton may have a lot of fans but not actual fanatics.

Come now, poker. He certainly has his share of "fanatics", certainly in this forum.

Blake

From our coverage here in the US I always liked Bob Varsha. He left the joke cracking to David Hobbs and occasionally to Steve Matchett, the two color commentators. Bob just pretty much announced the race and facilitated the discussion with the commentators and the pit reporter(s). Please give me a...

Nevermind...I misread your post, poker

Does he have to like him? No, but if a presenter shows a dislike for someone then it's not alright to flag it up? As long as it is alright to "flag up" the presenters who are overly PRO someone. It works both ways...Or should. Personally, I have yet to see those diResta attacks on Lewis though. ;) ...

So, if I have read this correctly, we have two pages of discussion as to whether Paul di Resta heaped enough praise on Lewis?
