Why on earth would Mercedes ditch Bottas? He's overperforming in the role they expected him to do and making up WCC points when Lewis is having his lovely days along with a win so far. Why would Alonso go to Renault? That team is in dire needs of severe rebuilding and they'll be hampered by the underpeforming Renault engines. Meanwhile you have Williams with one of the chief architects of Mercedes domination, Paddy Lowe, over there and Mercedes engines. I can very well see a scenario of Alonso/Stroll with Williams squeezing Daddy Stroll for every penny he has to offset Alonso's salary. Hell, I don't even think Alonso would even want a full blown retainer at this point. He's swimming from his Ferrari and McLaren pay days and can easily take a paycut in order to be in a competitive car.

You know what would be a paycut in a competitive car? Indy  Joking aside, he'll probably have a clause in whatever contract he signs that would allow him to do the 500 and Le Mans most likely than not if anything.

keevo posted:If Alonso leaves Mclaren, where the hell does he go? Only places he can really go is Ferrari and Mercedes and as much as I can see both teams ditching Raikkonen and Bottas, I can't imagine Vettel or Hamilton letting him be a teammate. But also lol if he goes to Red Bull. If he goes back to Ferrari I will literally drench this thread with my cum. That man

iospace posted:Let's assume for a moment Alonso does leave, and Stoffel re-signs. Who does McLaren pick up to make them competitive for wins? Lewis, both RBR drivers, and Ocon are locked up for next year. Sainz? It'd be a struggle to pry him away from Red Bull but he's probably the best option.

The interview he did where he said he doesn't know what else he has to do to prove to Red Bull that he deserves a main team drive. Red Bull is not ditching Ricciardo or Verstappen for a long time.

I fully expect Mercedes to win in Canada. A big power circuit, I don't think the Ferrari quite has quite the power Mercedes does.

Not even vaguely bold prediction: Lewis will fail to get his tires into range again and he'll be very petulant. Bottas will do fine.

And because there's bugger all young Red Bull drivers knocking on the door now, they're unlikely to try and ditch him and give him the easy way out either

This is his extra year after Red Bull took up the option to continue on in 2016. I know Renault is very much interested in him so we'll see how it plays out.

That contradicts literally everythin he's said including the bit where he said he's spent 16 years honing his skills for F1 and his priority is F1. He desperately wants that 3rd WDC and will do anything it takes to get it. He already knows he's good enough to win in literally any other category.

Fernando ain't daft, he may be telling everyone how happy he is in F1 to get a better deal out of a team in a different race series.

What series can offer him as lucrative of a race seat as F1 and be the top-tier of motorsport that any driver aspires to race in? Fernando loves racing and being competitive over ANYTHING else. It has nothing to do with attention for him as you note in your other post.

I'm not saying he wants to go, clearly he would rather be racing for the championship but he's not going to be able to do that if he can't get in a Mercades or Ferrari. Racing flat out in equal machinery in Indy, even if it is easy mode for him, has got to be better than pootling about at the back in a car that might poo poo the bed at any given moment.

So, a bit weird, but my friend has won the chance to ask questions to Felipe Massa directly as part of a charity thing. I don't have anything I want to ask, but does the worst thread have anything they want to ask him and can they keep it clean while doing so? I'll pass them on to my friend as asked
