The BBC have made an entire quiz solely to point out that Bottas looks a bit evil because he doesn't have a lot of hair and he also has eyes

E: Okay, now THIS is scary

Nice one Seb
THE VALTTERI CONSTANT™

Also while following along with the thread it's pretty clear how much better the C4 team is than Sky, at least assuming the commentary was recorded live.

Everyone knows Mercedes is still going to win WDC/WCC, right? Ferrari will gently caress it up on either strategy or reliability, that's even assuming we think they have the best performance right now.

I know we have Max "Max" Verstappen to thank for the result, and potentially the warm conditions to thank for Ferrari's tyre performance, but come on, let's at least hold on to the hope that there's going to be an actual team battle this season. Unless Red Bull come good.

I'm fairly sure this is the busiest the thread's been in SA history, I'm not sure if that's encouraging or scary.

Oval racing is cool to watch as a one-off, not sure it'd hold my interest for a full season. Speaking of one-offs, it's probably for the best that nobody's mentioned Alesi's effort that one year. Not entirely his fault, mind, but still.

Can I point out that the BBC article is the usual crap speculatory Benson piece:

quote:

McLaren executive director Zak Brown says two-time champion Alonso's replacement is "not in place".

But there is no other serious option than Button, 37, who is contracted to McLaren as a reserve driver and will race barring unexpected circumstances.

It'll be Button, we all know it, but it's not been confirmed yet.
