Fantastic performance by Porsche in P1. Maybe Nico Hulkenberg will ditch this F1 morass and come to WEC permanently.

Good move by Ferrari. The Kimster never has looked comfortable or committed in his return to F1. Sadly, he's the past. Bottas is the future.Rodster wrote:If rumors are true, looks like Kimi is out and Bottas is in. It cost Ferrari 12m Euros. One helluva talent headed to Maranello.
Umm, Kimi actually looked quite good when he was at Lotus, got a win, was competitive. As David Coultard recently said, Kimi has lost his edge, maybe marriage and fatherhood has played a role, who knows. I do think Kimi was hoping for an extra year of pay. Austria was just brutal and felt bad for him when he crashed out when he lost control of his car.pk500 wrote:Good move by Ferrari.

Dumb, dumb, dumb. Under your policy, Fangio never would have won a world title.Rodster wrote:I personally would like to see Formula One discuss a policy of retiring drivers at a certain age thereby letting the new crop get a chance like Verstappen. I doubt it will ever happen though.
Yeah, i'm still leaning and hedging my bets the Hulkster will be back at Williams at least I hope so. Williams is now a competitive team. I would have loved to see Ricciardo at Ferrari but supposedly Red Bull is not letting him out of his contract.GB_Simo wrote:Are we putting Hulkenberg back at Williams, lads? I don't see Danny Ric leaving Red Bull for a team with a substantially lower budget and a patchy recent history, present relative success notwithstanding, Alex Lynn needs another year at GP2 level and a Button/Massa pairing, the other rumour doing the rounds, doesn't seem right - it'd be their oldest full-time line-up since Senna and Hill.
More than that, Nigel Mansell would have to retire.pk500 wrote:Dumb, dumb, dumb.
