Theophany posted:It's got to be the most stark comparison on the grid seeing Vandoorne and Alonso. Stoff was poo poo hot in the feeder formula but Alonso is just on a whole other level whilst simultaneously appearing to give less than a fifth of a gently caress about driving the McLaren. I also think it'd be easier to provide Williams with free power units for a year than poach 'Nando from McLaren. I'm sure he wants to leave, but he's contract bound and short of retiring, McLaren is not giving him up because he's easily their best driver.

wicka posted:I firmly believe Alonso would be in WDC contention if this McLaren had any non-Honda engine. That's kinda why I think he'll stay next year for sure - either Honda's updates work and they prove they're figuring it out, or McLaren switches engines. Either way, I think he's in a good position. But will you toxx on that?

Anyway, so, during races, I'm going to be a bit lenient on punishing rivals.com puns, especially if the target really, really fucks up (such as: if Lewis puts it into the wall for no reason, I'm not going to object to Poois because that is really lovely driving). But only during races. Any others will get the wheel. What's on the wheel? That's for me to know and you to find out

I'm pretty sure Bottas was pretty low on Mercedes' want list, and it's becoming apparent. Everyone else they would have wanted was either at Ferrari (who won't leave because  and the fame of being a Ferrari driver), Red Bull (contract locked, most likely), or Fernando (who is also probably contract locked). Williams was the only team they had any sort of leverage with, so there you go.

Theophany posted:He will definitely be the deciding factor if they don't retain the WCC and those dipshit fuckos at Mercedes can suck a gently caress for listening to precious Lewis and not accepting Nando driving for free. Yes, because McLaren is totally going to give up their best driver while he's still under contract. Totally, 100% Lewis's fault. Yup. Norns posted:Are we getting another race with him? If he drives one more he can't do Ferrari testing. Possibly. Pascal said he's not certain he can do the next race.

Yeah, Pikes Peak is THE hill climb, like how The Indy 500 is THE Indy Car race and Monaco is arguably THE F1 race. It's the one everyone knows about and draws all the crowds and fame, but there's a lot of other ones out there if you know where to look.

Also, serious talk for a second: Who if given Bottas's seat, would legitimately challenge Lewis for the championship? Yes, we know Nando probably would, as would Vettel, but who else?

Human Grand Prix posted:I seriously think the Bottas choice was due to there being literally no-one else available. Wehrline is too raw. I think Rosberg leaving was a nastier surprise than anybody at Merc is letting on. If there is one thing RBR does right, it's having a relatively talented pool of drivers to pick from in case of emergency. I mean, look at how well the Kyvat/Verstappen swap paid off for RBR. That, and as I've said before here, Mercedes had a bargaining chip with Williams in the form of engines.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do open up an indy car team. The cost to enter is rather low, and well, given it's moving back to a spec series outside of the engines again next year, no aero devel costs. Just the cost of buying the car.
