F1 Race Stars on Xbox... They made a free mobile app version as well.

It's no Mario Kart but it's not terrible.

Not sure what FelipeBabe was paid last year but it's been rumoured he was offered 5 million pounds for 2017. Not sure who would foot that salary if he accepts though I bet most if not all would be by Mercedes, or Williams would get a discount on engines.

Some guy got arrested or charged for trying to sell picture of MS for a million.

From Schuey's manager:

Around Schumacher’s Swiss villa, photographers would hide in the forest or even try to shoot from helicopters. “It is never relaxed because it is a permanent strain,” [Kehm] stressed.

I was going to make a snarky joke about no German's been on the cover of time since Hitler, but nee, there have been a few. Recently even Merkel. O well.

Pat Symonds has left Williams. Does that leave an opening for Paddy Lowe?

BO77AS!!!

You're all underestimating the Fin. He's far from flashy, but he is quick and reliable. I can see why Merc would want him for a #2, but he might bring a bigger challenge to Hambonz than expected. Hope he gets the opportunity.

That would be a good matchup. I thought Bottas would dominate Felipe based on the hype but Felipe was almost a champion at one point.
