Alonso will do the 24 Hours of Daytona and Paul di Resta will be one of his teammates driving a sister car.

And supposedly an IndyCar race at Mexico City is close to being confirmed for 2018. I wonder if a different configuration will be used to avoid a direct comparison with F1 laptimes.

This is what happens when you try a three wide start that's NOT the Indy 500. =P

Yeah but rolling 3 wide start >>>>>>>>>>>> harder than standing 3 wide. Plus with the 3x2x3x2x3 idea it is not as bad as full 3 wide. Still gimmicky doe

Seems like if someone on a two-wide row gets a good start it might be harder to get past the car or cars ahead compared to someone on a three-wide row getting a good start and only having to deal with two cars ahead.

Max Raced from Abu Dhabi 2015 a total of 39 races, in total he received 5x a penalty. (Wich in Abu Dhabi 2015 he got a DOUBLE PENALTY). All from the same Steward named Connelly.

In 28 races where Connelly wasnt a Steward Verstappen received zero penalty's. Connelly was a steward in 11 of those races. Max drove 8 of those races to completion. From those 8races he finished he received 5 penalty's from Connelly:

There could have been another penalty added in Suzuka 2016 from this same Steward named Connelly but his co stewards dint agree and he then walked to Mercedes to still try and get Verstappen a penalty on wich Mercedes said NO WE WONT FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST VERSTAPPEN at wich this Connelly gave up his effort.

+2015 Abu Dhabi: track limits (5s + 1p)

+2015 Abu Dhabi: blue flag (drive through + 2p)

+2016 Mexico: track limits (5s + 1p)

+2017 Hongarije: botsing 1e ronde Ric (10s + 2p)

+2017 US: track limits (5s +1p)

he could have put a little more effort into his disguise. Not too many Merc personnel rocking red polos and flip-flops.

I don't think he would have been able to get that through the gate either and where would he put it on the way home? This was not a well thought out plan IMO.

Daniil Kvyat dropped by Scuderia Toro Rosso, permanently

"Kvyat will not return again," Marko told Germany's Auto Bild."We do not believe he can make the turnaround in the long term."

Marko also confirmed that the Hartley-Gasly pairing would remain in place for the final three races of 2017. "Gasly and Hartley will finish the season," he said. "Then we'll see what happens."
Kvyat to Williams

Massa has gone from annoying toilet bug to full on minkie. Just go away already. People need to stop putting a microphone or recorder in front of him.

Massa is skeptical however of the Pole's ability to race and perform consistently in F1 given the limited ability of his right arm.

"I have no idea how he's driving, first of all," he said in an exclusive interview with Motorsport.com's GP Gazette. "To be honest, I cannot do what he's doing, driving with only one hand. "It's impossible for me to believe that he will not suffer with some of the races with this car that we're driving that is a lot more difficult physically. "I really respect what he's doing, and what he's doing is just amazing. But it's impossible to believe that he will not have some issues."

As he grind his axe, Massa also took a shot at di Resta, claiming the Scot's results in DTM with Mercedes these past seasons were nothing to write home about. "I don't believe he's the right driver for the team, to develop the car and show the results and everything," Massa said. "Plus I mean I don't think he's doing a great job in what he's racing as well. Anyway, I'm not here to complain or say about anything, that's only my opinion."
