No red carpet or celebs at an FIA Meeting.

They mention swift changes in fan behavior so it sounds like they want the races on snapchat, vine and instagram.

I don't care what the GPDA thinks. I want to know what Kimi thinks.

"GPDA stands for 'racing united,'" said Verstappen. "But when other drivers are criticizing as much as they are in the media, I think 'Why would you join it?' You pay for it and nothing happens then what is the value? And do you really think they are going to listen to a boy of 17, with all of those egos?"

The younger Verstappen said he does not regret taking a strong stance against the critics, as they now know he is not a pushover.

Did you guys see this?

Rumors flying that Finnish F1 star could go to SHR


If rumors hold any weight, the sun is setting on Kimi Raikkonen's Formula One career, and he may look to land in NASCAR.



The Finn has been underwhelming in his second stint with Ferrari. He started racing again with the Italian team in 2014 (after racing with them from 2007 to 2009) and has just three podium finishes in 39 races.



For the last year, many have speculated that Red Bull Racing's Daniel Ricciardo has his eye on Raikkonen's seat for 2017.



It would surprise no one if Raikkonen left F1 at the end of the season and either retired outright or tried his hand at other motorsport disciplines. In the past, he raced in the World Rally Championship and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and Xfinity Series.



It's his NASCAR experience -- one race in each the trucks series and Xfinity series in 2011 -- that is fueling the latest rumors.



According to Tanja Bauer of Sky Sport News, Raikkonen could end up in a seat with Stewart-Haas Racing in 2017.



It's all conjecture at this point, but it's still an interesting scenario to imagine.



As of now, Stewart-Haas Racing is one of the most talked about teams in the NASCAR garage.



Co-owner and three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup winner Tony Stewart is retiring at the end of the season and giving up his seat to Clint Bowyer.



The team also employs drivers Kevin Harvick, Danica Patrick and Kurt Busch.



Right now, unless SHR added a car (unlikely) or maybe even an entry in the Xfinity Series, there doesn't seem to be room for Raikkonen.



So if he were to join SHR, it would mean a current driver would leave. The best scenarios for that would be either Harvick or Patrick taking a hike.



Stewart-Haas is switching to Ford in 2017, something that Harvick has said he has no problem with; however, he's driven Chevrolets for his entire career.



Patrick was once seen as a marketing powerhouse, but as she starts her fourth full-time season in the Sprint Cup Series, she has proven to be a middle-of-the-pack driver.



Could Harvick or Patrick leave SHR to make way for Raikkonen?

The same reason that F1 cars start to look the same during a period of stable rules.

NSX looks cool but a Ferrari is still made of more magnetic material.
