That Christian Horner interview was truly excellent, I enjoyed it so much, was actually listening to it when you posted it.

Reports of a 2 year deal for Bob at Team Willie.

I'm all in. If reports are true that A) he has the speed but B) lacks long run consistency, then no ******* **** they sign him. Much harder to make someone that is slow, fast, than it is to get them in shape and learn the Pirelli's.

I SUPPORT BOB/WILLIE 2018

Pascal bet with his F1 career whether Manor really existed or not.

Williams has issued a statement denying signing KUB while more and more credible journalists are confirming it. #f1

I think Webbah wood be a good driver to have do the laps. If not him then they should get Juan. Or maybe Pascal, he'll be unemployed soon enuff.

The increased coverage for sponsors alone is going to make this a huge windfall for Williams even if they finish dead last. KUB is going to be the hot ticket everywhere as far as media interviews and you know every race there will be at least 1 lap where they follow KUB.

My friend works at a watch store and for a bonus he got an Oris Williams F1 watch from 2013. Owner of store had it sitting in one of their glass cases but hasn't sold it so he wrote it off and gave it to my friend for exceeding sales projections. I thought my friend was gonna give it to me since he asked if I heard of Williams F1 but he said it costs around a thousand dollars.

That particular watch goes for anywhere around 1200$ to 1700$... it's a nice watch and Oris makes beautiful time pieces also!

I'd be too scared to wear something that expensive on my wrist. My $12.99 Armitron works fine for me.

So last years thread went to 586 pages. Weak sauce this season. Maybe we need to redo the post count system. For 2018 1 post will now count as 2.5. Just like when wins went from being worth 10 points to being 25.

Rita was MIA from that thread for lengths of time, as was I.

There was a lack of commitment from everyone this year. There were almost 15k posts last year and we aren't even at 6500 this year.
