Big loss for RB losing their best driver.

I can only assume that DR felt like Max would end up becoming the main man at RB.

Such a likable guy, i hope the move pays off for him.

Oh, I'm pretty sure he recalls me pretty well.

That who was more rhetorical than anything else.

Saw that Hamilton post on Twitter. Didn't turn the volume on, he's a weird cunt .

Next years grid though:

Mercedes - Hamilton and Bottas

Ferrari - Vettel and Leclerc

Red Bull - Verstappen and Gasly

Renault - Ricciardo and Hulkenberg

Haas - Magnussen and Ocon

Force Canada - Perez and Stroll

McLaren - Sainz and Norris

Toro Rosso - Hartley and some rookie

Sauber - Giovinazzi and Ericsson

Williams - Sirotkin and someone else with money.

Oooooh, we're doing grid predictions now? Well, here's my take. 

 

Mercedes: Hamilton - Bottas

Ferrari: Vettel - Räikkönen

Red Bull: Verstappen - Gasly 

Renault: Ricciardo - Hülkenberg

Haas: Magnussen - Leclerc 

Force Stroll: Stroll - Perez*/Kubica

McLaren: Alonso - Ocon

Toro Rosso: I have no idea. Harltey? Maybe. Maybe Norris next to him. 

Sauber: Giovinazzi - Ericsson

Williams: Grosjean/Sainz - Sirotkin

 

BOOM, let's see if I'm somewhat right.

[Storts]

For me Norris could do with another year out - Russell is ready though and should have a drive. The rest of F2 is pretty meh 

[Tommy]

Fuck, I forgot to include Checo  Of course he'll have a drive next year. Funny if it's next to Stroll at Force Whatever. Checo would absolutely annihilate Stroll.

I forgot about Russell and jumped Norris into his position as a junior driver. You're absolutely right.

With Russell affiliated to Mercedes I can see them parachuting him into a Williams for next year in that case. Unless they no longer have Mercedes engines in which case fuck me for forgetting and being too lazy to check. Either Alonso does another year at McLaren then or Vandoorne survives one more year.

[AMG]

Mercedes - Hamilton and Bottas

Ferrari - Vettel and Daniil Kvyat (He's Ferrari Test driver, remember?)

Red Bull - Verstappen and Hartley

 Renault - Ricciardo and Hulkenberg

 Haas - Magnussen and Ocon

 Force Canada - Perez and Stroll

 McLaren - Sainz and Alonso

Toro Rosso - Gasly and Leclerc

Sauber - Giovinazzi and Ericsson

Williams - Sirotkin and Stoffel Vandorne

[RandoEFC+]

Kvyat won't get a Ferrari drive alongside Vettel surely. Might be a shout for Haas though.

[Tommy]

I'll eat my own hat if the Torpedo gets the Ferrari seat. Mark my words. 

 

Anyway, this is an interesting podcast. Bit long, but very good:

Kimi looks like Joel Kinnaman there  

[AMG]

smh

 

Just put him as the reserve driver, and give the seat to Kvyat.

[Tommy]

What an emotional video. Forza Ferrari!

Adios amigo. What a career you could have had if you weren't such a cunt.
