UKTexans Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Mercedes dominant in FP1 These engine penalties are getting beyond ludicrous, they need to think of a better solution. I've seen docking constructors points as an idea. Alonso 35 penalty places Ricciardo 20 Verstappen 15 Sainz 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnygsm Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Merc dominated again. Great drive by Ricciardo. Lewis finally takes the lead in the WDC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely won't last long. Ferrari should have advantage in Singapore. Great drive by Riccy, shame he couldn't pip Seb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFM18 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 As a Red Bull fan hoping for a lot more in Singapore, as I expect the team is by taking the engines for Monza. Was still a great drive by Danny Ric. Shame Max didn't get to show what he could do up at the front of the field again. Maybe a track more suited to the Mclaren too so maybe Alonso can perform too.

UKTexans Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/41230504 Sounds like a win win for all in Formula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drd23 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Bottas re-signs with Mercedes for 2018 http://www.bbc.com/sport/formula-one/41255147 Unsurprising imo. Bottas is good enough to win points for Mercedes in the Constructor's Championship wiithout being so ambitious that he won't challenge Hamilton or cause disquiet in the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwedeCane Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Logical decision by Mercedes. The silly season next season will probably be a lot more interesting with Ricciardo out of contract and Verstappen also might be on his way out of Red Bull if they continues their struggle.

UKTexans Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/41265779 Interesting twist. Wonder where Red Bull look next?

Buc Ball Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I really hope Red Bull don't end up with Honda. F1 could have four teams pushing for wins if McLaren and Red Bull had engines comparable to Ferrari, let alone Mercedes. Interesting point from Horner today saying that it wouldn't necessarily be Honda as Red Bull has an existing relationship with another manufacturer. I'm hoping he was meaning Audi, or at least VW Group. Audi are probably too tied up with Formula E, but Porsche have pulled out of WEC despite earlier saying they wouldn't and don't have an interest in Formula E. Pure speculation at this point, but Red Bull essentially being a Porsche works team would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, was he really even that good? It always felt like the Sky commentators kept trying to hype him up because he's British (as they do with them all much to my chagrin) rather than anything he actually did in F1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
