What was their excuse for sucking the last couple of years

 

I wonder if all six of those drivers knew that when they signed.

 

It's not like they had choices to go anywhere else...

 

Williams should try to keep moving forward, they might even be able to get a point or two off of their own backs this year.

 

I think they knew...

 

too true!

 

There's a budget cap now , spend some of this years money to develop the new car for next year or throw money at a car that is at the end of its development in a season you are unlikely to finish higher than 9th

 

Glad haas got some good data from mazespin last race

 

Does Kimi have a multi-year deal? Just can't see him hanging around for no good reason.

 

Just till end of this year for now.

 

1 year , reportedly $7.5M

 

Canadian GP in doubt as F1 asks for additional $6M to run without fans

no fans allowed at any sporting events nationally here

 

I'm in

 

For Alpha and Haas, part of the issue was the "restricted" Ferrari engine. They were not great, then add in a deficient power unit and they were doomed from the start.

 

I think Kimi will hang around as long as someone pays him to show up. I believe he has said as much.

 

And he's just pure entertainment and someone who just loves to drive

 

He knows what he's doing

 

I think F1 sucks for demanding ransom from the Canadian GP organizers. It's an historic event. Guess that carries no weight for that mustachioed jerk.
