You’re forgetting option 3; Ferrari don’t think Seb will win the Championship this season and want to ensure there’s at least one Ferrari champion on the grid next season.

When was the last cockpit fire ?
Modern self sealing fuel cells and the refuelling ban have dramatically reduced the risk of fires reaching the cockpit, and most fires involve fluids getting onto […]

In 3 races he will become the driver with the most starts without a podium, that is exceptional, exceptionally bad !
I literally can’t think of a single great performance from his F1 […]

@ambroserpm
Nobody is suggesting F1 can save the world, they’re just pointing out that F1 doesn’t exist in isolation from the automotive industry, or the world, and that it has its own part to play in our […]

Hulkenburg represents all that’s wrong with the F1 driver market – a mediocre talent who will never win an F1 race, yet considered a safe choice due to his experience so keeps getting hired in the place of far […]

I’m not a fan of street circuits, they rarely produce decent races, and on the rare occaissions that they do it’s mainly because they’re chaotic crash-fests like Baku the other week rather than because of the […]

Some of their decisions have been questionable, at best. Which is a common problem with large big money sports organisations that too often operate like an old boy’s club, rather than the multi-million pound […]

Sometimes it’s nice to be proven wrong.

It’s already got to the point where I’m struggling to keep an interest, let alone enjoy it.
The highlights are so badly edited that it’s hard to follow what’s happening, and as it’s almost impossible to […]

Really not enjoying C4’s picks this year, I appreciate they don’t get a free choice, but they’ve ended up with some poor races for their live shows.

@hohum
Or maybe they replace the hybrids with small turbo engines with a variable valve system to boost efficiency and Honda build the best engine, giving their new partner Red Bull their first championship in […]

On results ?
Yes. Obviously consideration is given to machinery, but, at the end of the day, drivers are judged on their results.

@bamboo
I’d guess that Nico’s talent would ensure he’s the number 2 in a potential pairing with Alonso. If Perez can make Nico look average, I’d hate to think how bad he’d look with Alonso as a team mate.

@addvariety
That’s not how it is now because 3rd drivers aren’t allowed.

@afonic
Guest cars/drivers would be far more welcome than some of the mediocre pay drivers that are only there because Daddy or their sponsors have deep pockets.
And there’s no reason why it couldn’t be […]

How about a mini mid-season break that coincides with le mans and rearranging Monaco/Indy so that they don’t clash so any drivers wishing to compete at either or both could do so without it interfering with the F1 […]

Let’s be honest, any one of us could take Alonso’s place at Monaco without any risk of ending up with a worse result for the team, you don’t need a double world champion when your car struggles to complete a lap. […]

@friedatwo
The guy is a cheerleader for Ecclestone and Putin, which is a clear sign that his opinions can be safely filed away in the bin with all of the other rubbish.

@peartree
I used to like the David/Mika/Kimi that McLaren used to put on the sidepods in countries where they couldn’t use the tobacco sponsor decals. They were huge and looked great.
