neonfox65 As stated by: It isn't about placing a bet—I've just officially decided that Ricciardo is my new favorite. 😉 Next year, we're coming for that title. 😉
Alonso is planning to stick around for another five seasons after this one... aiming to snag four titles in the process... followed by a year off to go win Le Mans driving for Porsche... and then, of course, he’ll make a comeback to pick up two more championships with Renault
Why did the person who posted that poll on this thread leave out one very obvious option... that both Ferrari drivers will completely fall apart and finally show everyone their true colors?
Richard Ross11 said:If Alonso takes first place, then we might as well expect a massive pile-up involving Unknown and Barbie, Ricciardo and Verstappen, Bottas and Massa—plus maybe a sudden engine failure for Button just to keep things interesting... 🙂
Huge congrats to Max Verstappen—he’s got quite the future ahead of him In my book, Fernando Alonso remains the absolute gold standard of the grid right now It looks like Sebastian Vettel has officially slipped out of the top eight drivers today Helmut Marko is set to step in for Maurizio Arrivabene Joseph is running into some serious trouble
Nico Rosberg was stuck in the wrong engine mode and ended up going 11 miles/h slower than Lewis Hamilton... which meant Hamilton didn't have the window he needed to react, leaving the FIA to just brush the whole thing off as a racing incident.
We really ought to find a way to penalize Sebastian Vettel for his constant whining over the team radio—it’s honestly starting to damage the reputation of Formula 1 as a whole.
Kyle Edwards5 said:Are you seriously suggesting that McLaren has the third-best chassis on the grid? 😁 On average, they’re the slowest ones on the speed trap... which tells me they're running massive amounts of downforce. Look at Manor—they absolutely fly on the speed trap, yet they’re the slowest of the bunch in the third sector. There’s your comparison right there.👍
Grab a hammer... at least 2kg... and give them a good whack on the head until they stop talking nonsense.😵 😵 😵

http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/f...-11254274.html "Right now, we're sitting on the third-best chassis—that's backed up by our performance in the third sector here in Sochi. Only Mercedes and Red Bull are outperforming us at this stage; Ferrari, Williams, and Force India are all trailing behind." In fact, Alonso clocked a 29.198, which put him just four-tenths off Lewis Hamilton and a mere two-tenths behind Daniel Ricciardo.
Third fastest in sector three—sitting right behind Red Bull and Mercedes, but ahead of Ferrari.
