Hamilton’s teammates: Alonso, Kovalainen, Button, Rosberg, Bottas.

42 seconds behind Verstappen. He won’t get lucky with a Bottas penalty every race.

Indeed. Only 7 drivers who are younger than him this season, which includes Leclerc and Russell who were born within 6 months of Verstappen.

Not only that, but this is a dude that spends his weekends off doing endurance races on iRacing. With his base salary of 25 million (rumored to be more like 40 million incl. bonuses), I don’t think he needs a lot of revenue outside of F1.

It’s their actual fuel and lubricants partner. Same for Alpha Tauri, obviously.

Assuming you’re in the US, here you go.

Not happening. If she’d be five years away, she’d already have to be at F4 level right now. The current crop of W Series drivers is certainly not going to make it.

They’re not listening.

That depends. In the US, sure. Rest of the world, not so much. Colton is not a well known driver outside of North America.

We don’t know how much they’re getting from Alfa Romeo. Perhaps Andretti can find a better partner for that title sponsorship. All I’m saying is that it shouldn’t be a hindrance that Sauber is locked up in the Alfa deal, because they’re not.

Spoken like an Indycar driver.

Engine suppliers are required to offer same-spec engines nowadays.

The Alfa Romeo title sponsorship, while announced as a multi-year deal, is technically just a one-year agreement. Both parties can get out of the contract after every season.

The numbers also show they had about 2000 people in attendance on each race day for last season’s final round in Berlin; out of 10000 tickets available. Given Formula E’s habit of giving tickets away for free to get the stands filled, that’s not good.

The track itself is pretty good, but it’s located exactly in the middle of nowhere. And it’s in France.

The problem is that there is no evidence whatsoever that you’re right; while there are plenty of things to indicate you are wrong.

You wanna know how Verstappen would compare against Rosenqvist in equal machinery? Well, a 16 year old Max - in his first season of single-seaters - smashed a 23 year old Felix in F3.

I don’t think Kinja understands Kinja, so how could I?

It depends. If Lewis could’ve kept up running 1.25s, as he had been doing for the previous 25 laps (clearly managing his tyres), Leclerc and Perez would probably not have caught him.

I mean, he was six seconds ahead of him when Gio stopped (lap 40), so that’s a pretty big undercut. On lap 50 Ocon still had 20 seconds on him, so he could’ve still pitted and come out ahead. After that, he obviously had to commit.
