he's working on the '17 car and has turned up at some races lately while they start testing parts for next year

"He's excited by the regulation change for '17 so he's splitting his time between the two projects," said Red Bull team principal Horner.

"Once the Aston Martin project is into a detailed design phase, he tends to stand back at that point.

"He's very much about the concept, about the aerodynamics, about the layout of the car.

"He's very heavily involved obviously in the '17 car as well."

New Caddy for the 24 hr of Lemons. F1 has an open slot that weekend so maybe Alonso will get a shot this year.

I still can't believe there won't be a German F1 race, considering the constructors champion is a German brand and current drivers champion is also German. sad...

Merc's F1 team and Nico aren't really German. Nico is the third "German" WDC in the last 20 years - 11 of which were won by Schumacher and Vettel, so by now the Germans are over the novelty.

All you had to do was look at the stands this year and realize the writing was on the wall.

Not to mention the spectacle is significantly diminished with the current turbo-hybrid era.

Plus what Tim said. Germans have juan over 50% of the titles available since Schumacher juan his first. (12/23 to be exact)

Wrong 24 hour race. This one will be running with IMSA (it's a replacement for the Corvette Daytona Prototype).

Button said he'd wished he'd gotten to drive for Ferrari in F1. Apparently he had the chance but turned it down to stay with McLaren.

Would've been nice to see him in a Ferrari. Probably would've done better than Kimi.

The Mercedes driver said one of the defining moments of this year's championship was his victory in Japan, where Hamilton finished third after a poor start.
"The changing moment was Suzuka for me, when all of a sudden had a 33-point lead and that meant that it was in my hands," Rosberg said.
"It's mine to lose, because it was enough to do a second, second, second, and third or whatever.
1x WDC confirmed

Kimi had to battle and get lucky to win a championship at Ferrari Button got handed a championship based on loopholes in the rules about rear diffuser, just how do you figure Button would do better than Kimi?
