Gunther is going to be busy trying to decide his diver mine up for next year.

He’d be a fool if he stuck with K-Mag and numpty. Such good choices out there with experienced and young drivers.

I really wouldn’t be surprised if he took Perez and a young driver from F2. I don’t think he would get Mick, if he’s coming into F1 he’s likely set for Ferrari’s B team, Alfa. IMO

 

Hamilton is just running away with the points

 

Lewis will run away with the points again next year. Lets face it, Mercedes has such a performance advantage over the field that no one will touch them until 2022 at the earliest. Botas is good, but he doesn't have what it takes to beat Hamilton.

 

Yup, but he's good enough to help get them their constructors. I also feel if Hamilton leaves and is replaced by a younger talent I don't think Botas has the talent to fill Hamilton's boots and will have to fight for the #1 seat and could still be a number 2 driver.

Mick is already on a mission... I can see Ferrari helping him in every which way, even if that means getting him into F1 as early as possible. I listened to a podcast interview with him earlier in he year and he claimed he would like to get more racing experience before F1, but if he was offered a seat he would snap it up...

Kids got talent. That's got to swell Dads heart.

 

Why/how is Kubica back in a Williams in FP1?

speaking of him my god I had never seen a onboard of the ring going this fast in a normal car

 

And it looked so effortless. Makes you think of just how good f1 drivers are

 

That was awesome!! Just watched that twice with a huge grin!

That's the kind of view I craved for when watching racing back in the day before onboard cameras.

 

No one see a conflict of interest here? More closed investigations for Ferrari in the future?

 

I don’t know, with qualifying he is constantly pushing Hamilton. I’m sure there is a crazy statistic out there with what the average quali time difference is between them, I bet it’s stupidly small.

It’s got to be so demoralizing for Bottas and i think that’s where he loses out on race day. He’s had years of being 2nd now. He needs a new & bigger pair of bollocks...

 

no

 

wut

 

Okay, after seeing your “wut” and reading my previous comment out loud I realise how weird it was. Kubica in a Williams in 2020??? I think either I was tripping or they were playing a replay of Kubica spinning from 2019. The reason I was so sold on it was they had the graphics on the left side of the screen with his name. But thinking about it, it was a white icon next to his name, not blue. Williams were white in 2019 and are blue in 2020!

Any waaaays...

 

He's Alfa Romeo's reserve driver

 

Yeah I totally know/knew that, don’t know what came over me. I was listening to FP1&2 whilst doing my fortnightly gardening, guess I got too hot & confused...damn chores

 

Wow. What.

 

A race.
