There was a lack of commitment from everyone this year. There were almost 15k posts last year and we aren't even at 6500 this year.


Too bad I didn't finish 5th. Would've mirrored JV's standings from 1997 to 1998 when he went from first to fifth the next year.

Sauber set for 2018 driver line-up, Alfa Romeo announcements

It is expected that Pascal Wehrlein will leave the Swiss team after Sunday’s 2017 finale in Abu Dhabi, to be replaced for next year by Ferrari junior Charles Leclerc.

The other seat, even though it is currently occupied by Marcus Ericsson, who is very close to the team’s owners. But Ferrari wants its other junior, Antonio Giovinazzi, to also drive for Sauber in 2018.

For months, it has been rumoured that Sauber’s engines next year could be rebranded as Alfa Romeo, the Ferrari-linked luxury car brand. Italian sources say that deal is now effectively done.
Sauber Romeo?

Well using the same hard and soft compound at every track would result in tyres that don't wear at all or too much, depending on the track. I understand why they want so many compounds but why not just call them soft/med/hard and then have 3 different degrees of the soft/med/hard. Casual fans wont care if its soft tyre 1,2, or 3 being run during a weekend.
