It's not as good as it used to be in my mind, but it produces more entertaining racing, consistently, than just about any other circuit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katsuya Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 The "Ferrari are a shitshow" thinking is strong ATM, but spare a thought for McLaren, who forgot to submit their tyre choices. So whilst every other driver has at least 7 Supersoft tyres, Alonso and Vandoorne only have 4. They also have 4 sets of Medium tyres, and nobody else took more than 2.

MJB Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 Ferrari cocked up the strategy again and a mistake by Vettel puts him 9th for tomorrow. Hamilton on pole with his wingman alongside him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His decision gets more bizarre as time goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Hamilton wins, Seb and Max come together. Seb ends up 6th. Gap is 67pts with four races to go. If Lewis outscores Seb by 8pts in Austin, it’s all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Lineker Posted October 12, 2018 Author Admin Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Quote Formula 2 title favourite and Mercedes protege George Russell has secured a Williams Formula 1 drive for the 2019 season. The 20-year-old has signed a "multi-year agreement" with the British team but will also maintain his link to Mercedes, for which Russell has been a test and reserve driver this season. Russell is poised to clinch the F2 title in next month's Abu Dhabi finale, having stepped up to the series this year as the reigning GP3 champion. "It is a huge honour to join a team of Williams' prestige and heritage," said Russell. "I would like to thank Claire [Williams] and everyone at Williams for their faith in making this decision, as well as Toto [Wolff] and the team at Mercedes for their fantastic support throughout GP3 and Formula 2. "I am incredibly excited to start working with everyone at Grove and to take my first steps as a Formula 1 race driver. "I cannot wait for Melbourne next year and to join Williams at what we all believe will be the start of an exciting new journey." Russell tested for Mercedes and its customer team Force India this year but a volatile summer of driver market activity threatened the 2014 McLaren Autosport BRDC Award winner's prospects of graduating to F1. Williams is enduring a difficult season and lies last of the 10 teams in the constructors' championship. It has targeted Russell for several months as part of the plan to change its fortunes. Williams was criticised earlier this year for signing Sergey Sirotkin to partner Lance Stroll. Deputy team principal Claire Williams said it has "always tried to promote and develop young talent at Williams, and George fits that ethos perfectly". She added: "He is already highly regarded in the paddock and a driver whose career we have been watching for a while. "In the time we have spent with him so far, we believe that he will be a great fit for our team; his commitment, passion and dedication is exactly what we need to drive the positive momentum building at Grove as we focus on the future. "We are extremely excited to welcome George and working with him moving forward." Russell's appointment means it is unlikely fellow Mercedes junior Esteban Ocon will race in F1 next year. Ocon had previously declared Williams was his last realistic option and is now poised to move into a reserve and test driver role ahead of a likely return to the grid in 2020. The identity of Russell's 2019 team-mate is unknown, but Russian rookie Sirotkin is vying for a second season. Sirotkin has compared well against podium finisher Stroll in qualifying, and Stroll is poised to leave the team to move to Racing Point Force India - where his father Lawrence is now a major investor. Another Russian, Artem Markelov, has been linked to Williams, while reserve driver Robert Kubica has not given up hope of an F1 comeback either. Three Brits on the grid next year then - Hamilton, Norris, Russell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see more Brits on the grid, and especially nice to see one in a Williams. I hope the team's performance improves for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katsuya Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Vandoorne and Wehrlein have now both signed for Formula E teams (HWA / Mahindra respectively), which takes them out of the Toro Rosso speculation. RIght now, it looks like it's either Sirotkin, Hartley or Albon who will get that seat. Apparently it's now between Ocon + Kubica for the other Williams drive.

Adam Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I'd love to see Kubica back, but if Ocon doesnt have a seat next year it's a travesty so I'd like to see him in the Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katsuya Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Speak of the devil: Albon looks set for the Toro Rosso drive, which means the top 3 from F2 are probably going to be driving in F1 next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
