Will they be Sauber again until Audi officially join?

I really hope they’ve managed to bag a big sponsor over the summer break. Although their results for the last few years would make that difficult.

I see what you did there.

But you see, the drivers do still have freedom of speech. Just not so much within the organization that they work for. Just like the real world. In the same way that my job would be in jeopardy if I were to start […]

MoneyGram Haas F1 does not have a good ring to it.

Ah that’s right. Stroll and Sirotkin at Williams. The dream team.

Genuine question – has stroll ever beaten a team mate in F1?

I think Albon had a great race, worthy of more than a 6. He passed a lot of cars, unseen by the cameras, and was up there battling for 11th for most of the race after qualifying 19th.

Good news for Daniel Ricciardo – it seems that an average driver can take a couple of years out and still make a return.

I missed the sprint. What happened to Albon??

Exactly. It really devalues pole position. It sort of feels like a second rate pole.

Exactly. Now all of the other teams know exactly how much it will cost them if they ‘accidentally’ go over budget next year. $7m for an extra place or two in the constructors? Probably a financially sound decision.

I think Gio and Schumacher are under consideration. I feel like it puts unnecessary pressure on Sargeant though – they should have waited until he had the points before announcing him, but I’m sure they wanted t […]

A one year deal for ricciardo would be ideal for both parties. Give Sargeant another year in F2 and help Ricciardo stay on teams radars. If he can beat Albon and put in some strong drives in an underperforming […]

I hear you. It makes me so sad that a driver, even one who is not held in very high regard at the moment, would rather take a test driver role than drive at Williams. I am not a Ricciardo fan but would love to see […]

Agreed. It’s the perfect place for DeVries, he should be able to get on par with Tsunoda pretty quickly.

I do wish Williams could invoke some sort of performance clause to pry him out of that seat for the last few races. He clearly has no place in F1 and moreover is becoming a hazard. They should do all they can to […]

I agree with this. I like Ted, but Crofty is becoming increasingly difficult to listen to. If it weren’t for Brundle, who I’ve enjoyed listening to since 1999, I would switch to the ‘other’ commentators.

Comparable for sure. I think they would be a great line up and really push each other. Williams have not had two decent drivers for some time.

Monza was terrible timing (or great timing for DeVries), as it is probably the track that suits the car best all year. So we really don’t know what Albon could have done, but I would have expected him to be r […]
