Abu Dhabi Test: Alonso crashes early on

Somehow Honda will be to blame...




An hour and a half into the morning stanza, Alonso hit the wall in Turn 13 – although not a big impact – it was enough to seriously damage the right front of the McLaren, including the front wing and suspension. The incident prompted a 20 minutes red flag stoppage. No explanation for the accident was forthcoming, although team insiders suggest the Spaniard made a mistake.

Given all the Renault PU issues/penalties and the fact that TR in the last few seasons have not developed their chassis as much as other teams due to their budget I don't think you can say anything about the quality of either of the TR drivers at this point.

Women's motor racing series proposed by London-based firm | F1 News

Looks like Massa might not have to retire...

I don't think so.

I think those are the only WDC level dudes, but there are a fair number of really, really good guys on the grid.

Ocon, Perez, Hulk, Sainz, Grosjean, Bottas

He had a good 2013, but since then hasn't been too impressive. I don't think he was much quicker than Kimi, who in turn is nowhere near the level of ALO or VET. So not sure GRO has much upside. Leclerc would be a better use of that Haas seat.

To be fair, he hasn't exactly been driving competitive cars post 2013.

Does that mean he gets a trophy at every race that he manages to show up for?
