Formula 1, 2017 thread

No doubt some idiot will want lottery funding to support it in the future.....

 

Time for RBR to demote Verstappen to Toro Rosso as the kid must learn the basics of F1.
Sainz is a more than adequate replacement as there wasn't much between him and Verstappen when they were together at TR and he will bring home good points unlike DNF-Max. Let Kvyat and Verstappen crash each other at TR where it doesn't hurt RBR in the constructors!

 

Ricciardo "Was that who I think it was?"
RBR "Yes".
Ricciardo "****, sore loser"

 

Ricciardo is certainly speaking his mind this afternoon about what he thinks of Verstappen...... “It’s not on, amateur to say the least. I don’t think he likes when a teammate gets in front of him”

 

Ricciardo: Look, the way Max handles it, more than the way I handle it, will dictate how it goes in the future. For sure I can go and call him names but if he acts like the age he is, or if he acts like a man and admits the mistake.
I'd like to be a fly on the wall at todays RBR drivers debriefing.

 

This would never have been allowed under Bernie.

 

Windy podium.

 

Lol...is that her DRS...

 

There were several thoughts for a title went through my mind and all of them on how certain parts of the DRS system open and close.
I thought I'd probably have to give myself a warning.

 

Interesting thought and Williams really need a deal with a manufacturer.

That was close for the Force India cars.

 

This time they hit, couple of clowns this pair.

 

Perez has a puncture ............ how surprising tuesday_wildchild

 

I wonder what colour her knickers ....Were ?

 

Looks like McLaren have finally given up on Honda - according to bbc they're going to announce a Renault engine deal for next year at Singapore this weekend.

 

Not a real shock, Toro Rosso to Honda and if Honda finally get it right RBR will become the factory team.
Sainz to Renault as part of the deal and Gasly into Toro Rosso.
Ricciardo to Mercedes in 2019, as soon as his RBR contract is up.

 

Raining in Singapore, this should be interesting.

 

The weather should mix it up a bit, the last thing Vettel wanted was Verstappen diving up the inside on a damp first corner!

 

Oops!!!

 

Well... that wasn't unexpected!!
