Yup

He started off the season winning a lot, but in the end, his car was more reliable. If Hamilton's engine did not blow up in Malaysia, he would be the champion.
That aside, Hamilton did win 5 races in a row to finish the season. He did everything he could have but that's part of racing.

VES drove another great race. Put a equal car underneath him and he could be the next world champion. He can drive.

Same can be said for Verstappen and Riccardo. Slightly better cars and those guys could both be champs.

I can't believe the dq'ed Nico! Ham wins the championship because of some tire issue with Nico? This is going to destroy team Merc.

Huh?

(TS checks his calendar to see if it's April 1st)

I don't think so!

Holy Shit, it's legit and on the Formula 1 page
http://www.formula1.com/en/latest/headlines/2016/12/rosberg-announces-his-retirement-from-f1-racing.html

So who is currently available to fill that spot?
Would Jensen Button be able to make that move?
Where did Hulkenburg end up?

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #1834 on:** December 02, 2016, 09:52:02 PM »

I might be able to fit that into my schedule.

Critterman · « **Reply #1835 on:** December 02, 2016, 10:46:25 PM »

Don't they have a junior driver in the wings? There are a lot of drivers who would love to fill a seat on that team, contracts or not!

elff · « **Reply #1836 on:** December 03, 2016, 04:03:30 PM »

Felipe Nasr is another option.

LatinVenom · « **Reply #1837 on:** December 03, 2016, 05:18:46 PM »

MB could also try to get someone from another team. Is possible they could go after the Red Bull people. I agree Felipe Nasr could be a good choice.
They could also tap Gutierrez since he no longer is with Haas.

elff · « **Reply #1838 on:** December 03, 2016, 05:35:53 PM »

Rossi would be a good choice. The couple of times he raced in 2015 he did very well. I was actually surprised that Haas did not pick him up

LatinVenom · « **Reply #1839 on:** December 04, 2016, 06:31:58 PM »

We should be hearing something soon, I do not think it can wait, the new season is just around the corner.

elff · « **Reply #1840 on:** December 04, 2016, 06:46:19 PM »

Yea, they need a driver for testing

Critterman · « **Reply #1841 on:** January 16, 2017, 06:34:31 PM »

Announced today:

Valttteri Bottas will be driving a Silver Arrow along side Lewis Hamilton.

LatinVenom · « **Reply #1842 on:** January 16, 2017, 07:11:04 PM »

That's great for Bottas, wounder who else was in the running for the position?.

elff · « **Reply #1843 on:** January 17, 2017, 04:18:42 PM »

I think he was a lock. Because of that Masa is going to race one more year for Williams.
I am psyched to see him race for a little longer.

Critterman · « **Reply #1844 on:** January 17, 2017, 05:24:08 PM »

I just noticed that about Masa, I saw his name mentioned but never followed up on it. There have been a couple of other changes as well.

elff · « **Reply #1845 on:** January 17, 2017, 07:40:59 PM »

Yea
Magnussen for Haas
O'Connor at Force India
Vandoorne for Mclaren

LatinVenom · « **Reply #1846 on:** March 16, 2017, 04:25:00 PM »

Just a head's up that the new season starts next weekend in Australia.

elff · « **Reply #1847 on:** March 16, 2017, 06:35:58 PM »

Holy crap it's that soon
AWESOME

I have been reading up on the F1 website and I love the aggressive look of the 2017 cars.
Not sure how it's going to pan out, but it seems like a lot of teams have very fast cars

Critterman · « **Reply #1848 on:** March 16, 2017, 07:32:08 PM »

How about that pink rocket?
