2017 Formula 1 Season Paddock

He was in the frame for the 2018 Williams seat , I suspect he has heard it will not be him

I think we'll see Paul diResta in his seat next season

 

Well that settles that

 

Didnt he only really come back cause of the team losing Bottas and the Martini specifically wanting him?

 

Yes , he had a drive lined up in Formula E

 

I do miss seeing the IR shots. Something fun about seeing a red...almost purple brake

Kind of an interesting video since you mentioned the eye level camera

 

yup it is...from a year or two ago

 

Will Ferrari actually leave F1 if they don't get their way? Probably not. I don't think Ferrari can maintain its global status without F1 involvement and they know it. Maybe Liberty will call their bluff and end Ferrari's "special" status. A piece of Ferrari's $70M exclusive bonus would go a long way for other teams like Sauber and Haas.

Have you looked in the stands during an F1 race -- anywhere -- and not seen a sea of red? Liberty won't cut off their nose to spite their face. They might negotiate, but F1 needs Ferrari as much as the opposite.

 

Id like to see Robert Kubica in that seat.

 

Awesome!

 

We are always reading and hearing about F1 drivers spending time in the simulator. I always wondered what they are really like and assumed that (1) the simulators used by top teams are a lot like ones used by military pilots use due to their huge budgets and (2) they are closely held secrets so we can't actually ever get a look at one. So I spent a couple of minutes looking it up (Yea, I wasnt THAT interested) and there is a bunch of what looks to be trade show and promotional stuff out there. How many of those pics and videos are of the real deal even if its posted by somebody like McLaren? I dunno. But I did find this from way back in the dark ages of 2013. Far beyond what we could possibly ever build at home!
