So Are Nando wins WDC next year, and leaves at the top to go dominate WEC. What a proper gentleman.

I've seen this video so many times but, fuuuuuuuuuuck that car moves. I can't even wrap my brain around how insanely hard that car must accelerate from the drivers position - 1350hp in a car that wights 1,200 lbs. :psypop:
I just recently got a HTC Vive, and the Lotus 98T is loving terrifying when used with a steering wheel and pedals.

Can't even begin to imagine how scary it would be in real life.

BLMW and Nando whipping around in Porsches would have been a lot of fun to watch. Then they could take a break in the off season and start a dirt racing team with Jenson. The funnest and coolest team ever.

This sounds like it would be a great sitcom.

Yea of course. He's going to win every race of 2017, secure the WDC and WCC for himself, then ride off into the WEC sunset winning with Porsche for many years to come.

E: wasn't it kind of surprising to learn for sure that ron was the guy who wanted to keep magnussen instead of button? that alone almost justifies firing him, since magnussen is bad and button is not.
