StaffsRam Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Bottas momentarily forgetting where he was and slipped into stock car/dodgem mode! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Merc must have known that was always a possibility when they didn't stop Bottas when Raikonnen pitted for the second time. Hamilton had that sewn up the moment Ferrari ballsed up Vettel's stop. Shame we were denied Verstappen being in the mix today, would have shook things up nicely. Spa after the break will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leap of faith me thinks ………… and possibly a very lucrative contract, or maybe its not Renault... who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Could be a future masterstroke with the major regulation changes from 2021. If Honda are as bad for Red Bull next year as they were for McLaren, then he might still be in the third best car, with a slightly easier job versus his team mate and be in a works team for 2021. Rumours of Newey potentially jumping to Renault as well. Bad for Alonso - probably the only place he could go to that would give him a chance of a podium at least.

No mention of him retiring from the man himself in his own press release, simply that he’s leaving F1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Hope this is just a sabbatical (and not a la Mika Hakkinen), he wins the Indy 500 and comes back in 2020 to a team that can challenge for the WDC. Best all round driver on the grid and it's a shame that his lack of timing and too much politics has reduced him to driving rubbish cars for half of his career, and now leaving the sport when the likes of Stroll and Grosjean have drives.

I think you will find Alonso is the instigator of lots of politics, along with personal bad choices. There is no doubting his driving, but it's what he brings with him …..

Takes a special kind of person to **** off Renault, Ferrari, and effectively lock himself out of a Honda powered Red Bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 All change ahead of the Belgian GP. Carlos Jnr "Sainz" for McLaren. Gasly to Redbull replacing Danny Ric. Ocon possibly heading for Williams. Stroll seemingly heading for whatever Force India call themselves. Vandoorne possibly in a straight fight with "Chuck" Norris to be the other man in a Macca next year. Plus it's going to rain on Saturday and maybe Sunday!

JoetheRam Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Pretty gutted for Kimi, probably won't be a better chance this season for a win. Hamilton was on fire today and Merc got their strategy spot on. Great dice with Raikkonen. The difference between Hamilton amd Vettel was there to see from the way Hamilton let Raikkonen back through early on, at the second chicane - playing the long game, rather than a risky defensive move. Verstappen needs to get a grip. Too hot-headed at the moment to prove he is anything other than super fast, but risky. Vettel doing his best impression of someone who isn't a four time WDC. His title to throw away, and looks to be doing just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vettel comes across as a petulant kid that can’t get his way at times, he’s way better than he acts, just plain daft doing his best to give it to Lewis who is showing maturity, that a couple of years back you wouldn’t have seen....without losing his competitive nature. Meantime chuffed for Norris, said after Silverstone he looked a talent, edged a reward in front of Russell by virtue of being on the McLaren young driver program.
