My money is on Nando going to Mercedes with Strudel Vandoor taking the McLaren seat.

That system thinks pretty highly of Sainz! But I guess it also lists Nico as the 7th best driver of all time, so... :shrug:

Hey, while we're still speculating on the empty Merc seat... how old is Schumacher Jr. now? Time to upset Max as the youngest baby to drive F1?

OK, I did a quick wikipedia search, and it looks like Mick Schumacher is 17 now, so he wouldn't break Max's youngest driver record even if he did start next season. Michael must be rolling over in his grave, having been beaten by Jos at something.

Holy crap. His posts in that thread make our endless petty and childish infighting about inane technical details and the good/bad old days actually seem intelligent and cultured.

In more relevant news Paddy is going for a pay rise and seems to be rolling the hard six. http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/rival-f1-team-bid-for-lowe-adds-pressure-to-mercedes-talks-858200/

Wow. You think you know someone as being this obnoxious prick and next thing you know he's a literal Nazi heil hiterlin' Austrian. Who saw that coming?

Speaking of Nazis, I'm now going to be really disappointed if the 2nd Mercedes seat isn't "temporarily" filled by either Alonso, Button, or Massa. I don't like Wehrlein at all.

You, the fans did this by bitching about how boring the races supposedly are. Every some you bitch about Shumacher/Alonso/Vettel/Hamilton going Pole-to-win, they add another chicane to a classic track.


At this point i'm so sick of braking zones i'd be all for one legit points-paying grand prix round being at the Indy Oval.
