Those two unironically would be great replacements for Nico and would probably give Lewis a bit of trouble.

What the heck is Toto getting at here? http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/127386/mercedes-reluctant-to-chase-vettel-or-alonso


It really seems like he's saying "I don't want to gently caress them over this late in the year," which is just bizarre.

It's "didn't want" before the inevitable round of "can't get" or "can't reasonably afford"

I mean even if they did have pick and choice they're going to have to turn down all but one

The not pissing of customer angle is possible but I'm not convinced that's it

I set up a cytu.be channel with a bunch of old races, season reviews and other f1 videos in a random order. I currently have 110+ hours queued up and will keep adding as I find more. I just watched Frog Dad have a pretty decent wreck at Interlagos 94. Come hang out and watch some racing. 99 Italian GP is next, followed by the 1990 Season Review.

We hate Lewis because he's a man child who comes across as a complete tit on instagram (I blame Ron Dennis), not because of the colour of his skin. He's not even the only mixed race driver on the grid, this year there were three and we couldn't have given less of a poo poo about the other two unless they were annoying Seb by refusing to get out of the way of blue flags.

So we all agree then, Lewis is poo poo regardless of what he looks like or where he is from. Glad we cleared that up.

I think Hamilton is a dickhead (though a very good driver who lost the wdc due to suspiciously high number of failures) but this thread is racist af and I'm just pointing that out.
I'm a die hard Lewis fan and even I'll ask for examples of this racism. Alot of people in this thread don't like Lewis because they don't like him as a person. Can we stop this poo poo of "I don't like this person" "OH BECAUSE HE'S NOT WHITE???"

Currently I'm in a scenario where I don't actually hate any driver. Even Vettel who I used to froth at the mouth with hatred towards I've warmed to. I couldn't hate Rosberg because he was just plain. There was nothing to hate.

Toto said he doesn't want to hire one of the big boys because of contract issues. At the same time you have Niki on record as saying it's their job to find loopholes in all the contracts.

Also Toto doesn't want Wehrlein because it would create a situation like 2007 with Alonso when the upstart Lewis didn't respect Alonsos achievements and bla bla.

Basically Pascal sucks.

He's clearly going for an experienced race-winner that is out of contract.

Toto already said that he's "not keen on replacing Rosberg with big-name driver" so Pastor is sadly out of the question

All Mercedes need is another Barrichello; i.e. someone who's....

a) cheap

b) unable to challenge Lewis for the win

c) quick enough to average more podia* than the next best team

Still third behind Hill and Villeneuve.

Also I think Mercedes' dilemma is they don't know how their 2017 car will stack up yet. If it's supremely dominant again they can hire anyone [i.e. new kids] and seal the constructors easily. If they've got competition they need someone competent enough, and there's very few people who do this on paper and will meet Toto's criteria.

Both Red Bull and Ferrari have drivers who will be consistent enough to go row-by-row and score points.

I think Merc know they have another dominant car and are playing it off as though that's not the case, verbal sandbagging.

It's going to be Wehrlein.... unless they can get Hulkenberg out of Renault. And give Renault Wehrlein instead.... while somehow compensating Manor with a huge cash injection to keep them going.
