I wonder if Sainz named his car Chocha this week


I just noticed 1 of Renault's sponsors is Goodwill Private Jets. 1% indeed

It's not the full upgrade doe from what I've been seeing on F1T and other such sites. Waffle was on US while others around him were on SS or S ('cept Massa who was also on US)

Seems Massa is more than 3 seconds behind his teammate...

https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/w...-us-gp-967999/

Williams was three seconds late in giving back a set of tyres from Felipe Massa’s car – which was enough for them to be called up to the stewards. The FIA reprimanded the team and said the fine would be suspended pending no further breach of the rules this year.

If we hadn't had BUT GRO PER that would be funny, but it just isn't the same. Unless you are into sex with robots

If OCO hadn't beaten his teammate we'd have had

A friend, sure...

At some point this season I want to see this running order:

1 Merc, 1 Williams, 1 Ferrari, and 1 FI

HAM STR RAI PER

I would settle for a Haas sub for the Ferrari but it wouldn't be quite as good with GRO

So been thinking about RIC and VER. VER must know something we don't concerning the PU supply, right? Could RB do a deal with Merc to get their PU, badged as Aston Martin in exchange for RIC?

I know Merc said they would never allow the rebadging of a PU but if RB were to give them exclusive rights to RIC now it would make it a lot easier to sign him at a good price. Seems unlikely but I can't imagine VER is going to stay there if RB have a ***** PU. Even if he has an out clause it probably wouldn't be triggered until after 2019 which is a year of his career wasted if he's stuck using a garbage PU.

VER isn't going to MERC as long as HAM is there and HAM isn't going anywhere as long as AMG keeps pumping out world beaters. Bottas cries into his pillow at night.

RB car has won two races this year and with the new FOM pushing to even-up the show i dont expect engine to be as big a factor going forward.

Read again...RIC to Merc, not VER. I think HAM would take on RIC. Plus if he did that he could then say I beat RIC head to head, VET couldn't do that.
