The Official Formula 1 2016 Season Thread
I'm indifferent, I just think it's a little premature. If they wanted to do it this early they should have just done it b4 the season started. Russia may have been the tipping point but RB had to already be leaning in the direction of the swap. Just seems like a weird time...
What a poser.
At least when I am absent for extended periods of time it's not because I can't hack something. I am trulli busy with **** going on and have no time for HT F1 thread fuckery. I do miss it doe...
See I'm I'm on both sides of this argument. I can see why RB did it (especially with the potential of not knowing what they have in MAX and his supposed out clause if he isn't driving for RB in 2017 is true) but I also think the timing is pretty pathetic.
It is shitty, BUT it could be worse. RB could have dropped DK completely. I think a lot of people were surprised when he got the RBR ride in the first place after just one year at STR. While he did well at STR, it wasn't anything I would consider spectacular.

Well I didn't think Ricciardo would have the upper hand over Seb at RBR...
My prediction before 2014 began

Since Ricciardo wasn’t able to deliver the kind of giant killing performances that Vettel did during his time at Toro Rosso, I have a feeling he will have just as much trouble as Webber did trying to take down finger boy.

Hey lookie I was right on this one too
Unless he pounds Kimi into the ground and is fighting for the championship at the last race, I think the McLaren-Honda combination will prove too tempting for Alonso to turn down, especially with Red Bull aero chief Peter Prodromou on board.
Seemed like Seb took longer to adapt to the new cars and by then he saw what ***** the Renault PU situation was and thought Ferrari was a greener pasture. Be interesting to see if that it turns out to be the right move...
