You guys cannot imagine how the "orchestra" still plays the Symphony with full roar. The F1 column of "specialists" on the diaries, is still specially on Alonso. The typical reaction on anyone doubting ALO is the F1 version of Anakin Skywalker's supernatural powers, is calling him a no brain man: plus envy, frustrated etc. That's it. All this has been fuelled by Alonso and his close circle.
People still stays on discussions of how good he is compared with Kimi, Massa, etc.

BTW, what you guys think of the hinting of Ricciardo joining McLaren??
I typically ignore a lot of those people. I've found a lot of people don't really follow F1 closely. They listen to the stories and then make decisions based on that and act as experts when they haven't watched a GP live in years!

He should stay at Red Bull. The ideas that RBR favors Max have been disproven this year, and STR has been doing great with Honda this year. Its likely the Honda engine will just be getting better with two teams instead of just one.

Going to McLaren, who haven't won a race as a non-works team for decades would be a bad idea.

Think so too, not a choice which pushes him forward i guess....

Hope that Kimi stays at Ferrari finaly!
Take a stand!

Autosport just announced it as official quoting Ferrari's press statement. Strange they piped motorionline.it
Well, now it's a question of wether KR will stay at Sauber or retire...
Looks like a great motivational boost just before Singapore, right? :lol: :lol: :roll:

Though I'd prefer him to stay in red but well...
We'll see now what happens with Lec. Great test for the "hype squad"...

So, It's back to roots for Kimi. They could still switch Bo77as to Williams and Ocon to Merc. That would be perfect and lots of new people watching finnish pay TV.

I don't see that happening, Bottas is the perfect wingman for Hamilton and the press doesn't dog him like they do Kimi if he shows a supporting role.

Well, there is a tiny difference between Valtteri and Lewis though. Bottas can surprise by beating Lewis whenever he has an off day, which is pretty rare. However, Lewis can always get just a tiny bit more out of his car when it is already at the maximum. Also the way which Lewis can adapt with changing conditions and strategies, shows that he can combine the fiery temperament of a Senna and a thinking approaching of a Prost. As well, the decisiveness at overtaking successfully is also a very special skill which not too many drivers can do regularly. In addition, keep mistakes to a minimum also helps. If you can win, take the maximum points. Then again, if you can't, get the maximum which the car allows you to do so in order to minimize the damage.

You put all of those qualities together. That's the difference between a race winning driver and a champion.
