Saudi’s you say? There’s a history there...

1) Paddy Lowe was brought in to run the technical side of things. When they didn’t have the car ready in time for testing pre 2019, he was effectively fired.

It’s about potentially selling part of Williams Holdings. All Williams ventures fall under this holding company.

Counterpoint: Davide Valsecchi, Fabio Leimer, Jolyon Palmer.

Briatore bought a seat for Alonso in 2001. As he did for Webber a year later. Minardi didn’t field those guys because of their talent.

Before 2014, they switched to customer Mercedes engines. There’s your explanation. The 2014 and 2015 cars weren’t anything special.

Yeah, it’s a silly list. Ownership has changed hands for nearly every team many times over throughout F1 history.

Because relatively speaking, it’s much more expensive to invest in development for just 1 car.

user name checks out.

The weird part is that it was Vettel’s side who leaked the news of his exit before it should’ve been. At least that’s what’s been reported. Why would he do that if he’s set on retiring? It looks like he’s gunning for the second Merc seat.

Geminii was in the previous generation of cars, that’s not really fair. Other than that, I totally agree.

That’s going to be fun for about 5 minutes until their shtick starts bugging the crap out of everyone.

The series features a number of drivers from the F1 paddock, like Alexander Rossi, Marcus Ericsson, Sébastien Bourdais, Takuma Sato, etc

You’re overrating Albon. Seb would be a significant upgrade, but he’ll never do it.

DTM is dead.

So, if the rumors are true, Vettel vs Hamilton might happen. AutoBild in Germany are reporting Vettel has instructed his people to go hard after the second Mercedes seat, with retirement the only alternative. He even declined to speak with McLaren about a future drive.

Yes. Yes we do. Verstappen beat Ricciardo handily, Vettel didn’t.

We also know that the usually fairly reliable Italian version of Motorsport.com is already reporting a Sainz deal is close to being done.

I think he should also remember that it wasn’t too long ago that, for a while at least, it looked like he’d be out of F1 alltogether. He’s had a bit of a miracle season in 2019 that’s unlikely to be repeated, and in 2015-2018 he didn’t really show anything that would warrant a top seat. The WDC is the last thing he…

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it’s going to be Sainz.
