i just saw footage of VET spinning out from HAM's cam. VET's car was sliding to the left and then snapped right, could have easily taken out HAM

You mean when is ALO going to confirm he is driving for MCL.

Everyone's favorite diva said he wanted to talk to Renault about their PU the week after Singapore to make sure they were on the right track. Along with being one of the best F1 pilots, I didn't realize he had a degree in engineering. Honda were foolish not to use him in helping design/improve their PU.

autosport keeps reaching out to JV for comment on things like honda switching to torro rosso. his comments are so ignorant that they do not bear discussing, i'm just appalled that people bother to listen to him

I saw his rant about how it's a bad move for TR and will kill the team. Along with not knowing how to sing he doesn't understand F1 finances. TR isn't going to lose their title sponsor because TR's sponsor owns the ******* team. TR is a test bed for drivers, engineers, and now PUs. The argument that all the good people will leave TR is pretty ******* dumb too. Those people want to get noticed and get a shot to work for RB.

JV is past his expiration date. Media needs to stop asking him about anything other than how to tune a drop D, and he probably doesn't even know that. Idiot.

I imagine JV as sort of an Uncle Rico hanging on to past glories.

wow, KVY is getting benched and Gasly is in

For a variety of reasons, some of them due to technical problems, but others being mistakes of his own making, Daniil Kvyat has not really shown his true potential so far this year, which is why we are standing him down for the next races. This will give us the opportunity to evaluate Pierre on track during a proper race weekend.”

The chances are that Kvyat and Gasly will be with the team next year.

KVY must really like eating **** sandwiches because that's all they feed him

One has to wonder about KVY having a seat in 2018. But who the hell is left?

Alonso?

some nerd with a protractor just left the FIA

The head of the FIA's Formula 1 technical department, Marcin Budkowski, has resigned with immediate effect.

Budkowski was regarded as a rising star at the FIA, and a key part of the new generation of heads that, in time, were eventually expected to replace the likes of Charlie Whiting and Jo Bauer.

He has now been placed on three months gardening leave by the FIA.

Budkowski's FIA role gave him extensive access to privileged technical information from teams and engine suppliers, including research and development ideas that are typically run past the FIA before being produced.
where to, poindexter?
