I liked Lando, but then the heathen went and threw away the pickled onion monster munch!
Yeah he's basically dead to me now. He has the girliest laugh :D

He's only about 12, his voice has yet to break.Yeah he's basically dead to me now. He has the girliest laugh :D
Does anyone else think this Verstappen/Leclerc and "the future of F1" thing is being overhyped?
I feel like if it comes to a head-to-head battle Verstappen would just crush Leclerc, and we're back to a guy dominating.
Silly season is in full effect. Thus far I've read rumors about Vettel looking to return to Red Bull. Nico Hulkenburg being eyed as a replacement of Gasly by Red Bull (would be conflicting). Ferrari looking at Ricciardo and Bottas as a replacement for Vettel. Ocon getting a seat at Renault.
I think it's always better to quote the original article, rather than an article about someone else's article, if only because it allows people to reflect on the source:
Not really a fair comparison. Verstappen's been embedded in a team that's now built around him for over 3 years. LeClerc's in a team where he's the number 2 driver for 3 months!
Oh yeah I agree that Max hit the ground running but, to play devil's advocate, how many times has LeClerc beem given the shaft through no fault of his own this season?I think we can make that comparison though.
With Verstappen that killer instinct was apparent straight away.
He came in and started rocking the boat straight away.
I don't see that to the same level with Leclerc tbh

I wonder if it is random and not replacing the second driver, because I joined McLaren and replaced Carlos Sainz. Surely he is first driver for McLaren, right?Yep. Last year, you got a choice on who you replaced, now you just take over for the second driver, apparently. I'd much rather be against Stroll, though, as I'm certain to be getting smoked for a few races while I learn to drive the car and find some setups that work for me. Also, I'm not some rando, I bring a lucrative resetera sponsorship with me!
Retirement, according to the article. He's recently married, disillusioned with the sport, not at a team that can win the championship, etc. etc. Not likely, but something Ferrari would want to be prepared for.

Wonder if Ricciardo to Renault was really just the first step of his master plan to extricate himself from RBR and wait for a Merc/Ferrari seat.
I'd actually like the idea of Vettel leaving the toxic environment and general strategic incompetence of Ferrari behind to return to his old team. I'd like to see him bring the fight to Max. It would certainly be a great driver lineup. But I simply can't see that happening. I'd sooner see him leave the sport behind all together.
If he did it's back fired as he certainly not at the front of the queue for either of those seats.Wonder if Ricciardo to Renault was really just the first step of his master plan to extricate himself from RBR and wait for a Merc/Ferrari seat.

Apparently he has a clause in his Renault contract that allows him to leave in 2020 if he gets an offer from Mercedes or Ferrari (specifically).Why all this talk about Danny? I'd assume his contract would be for a good couple more years.
You really think Leclerc is faster than DannyRic? One's a proven race winner, the other one got passed 3 laps before the end of the race the last last GP. Riccardo is a safe bet for any team, We haven't seen anything special from Leclerc yet.So Danny didn't want to be number 2 to Max but he wants to be number 2 to Charles?
No shit? That would be a hell of a sunken cost for Renault if that happened. Well, I guess I cross my fingers for the guy then... could see him being a Rosberg-esque foil for Lewis.Apparently he has a clause in his Renault contract that allows him to leave in 2020 if he gets an offer from Mercedes or Ferrari (specifically).

What is that?
Engine covers throughout the season so far.
Unless they thought he was faster, but it would cause big problems having Vettel and Ricciardo as teammates again.
What is the green supposed to actually represent? Because it doesn't seem to actually line up with the bodywork in most of the pictures.
Can't see Hamilton going anywhere unless they have a dominant car if he's one title away from matching the record
Not sure if Hamilton is even that interested in Ferrari - even as a pity drive towards the end of his career.

Mercedes to release Ocon?
Couple of things I take from that. Firstly that Bottas knows he's on borrowed time with Mercedes if he doesn't pick up. Secondly that if anyone wants Ocon then they're going to be paying a premium for him. Could last years failed Renault move be back on the cards?
And Ricciardo plays reserve?
I don't think Hamilton would be ready for the level of scrutiny he'd get at Ferrari.
