So apparently Imola has formally applied to take China’s spot. Never going to happen, but there you go.

They could’ve just kept the $100 million Honda was giving them annually, and told Big Tobacco to go fuck themselves.

In terms of liveries, Williams is serious competition this year. I love this.

here you go

Based on his age-19 season, where he was generally quicker than Carlos Sainz but far less consistent, I’d say you’re wrong. Consistency comes with age, top end speed is something you can’t learn.

I know he’s done over a 100 GP’s already but may I point out that Verstappen is younger than Albon?

I agree it looks sweet. But to re-brand as Alpha and coming up with that livery isn’t entirely original, is it?

you missed the best black & white livery ever though

Yeah congrats on becoming a customer team.

Bonus points for finally getting rid of the black halo. Though there’s still too much black on the side-pod area (which is functionally clever to camouflage stuff but it’s ugly).

it would surprise if they got it right the first time:

OK, so no rules, apart from this big one which limits spending.

I think the problem is that Vettel likes a teammate who’s not very competitive. He’s never beaten a really good one.

Every single driver you mentioned, with the exception of Kubica and maybe Stroll, is better than anyone in IMSA. Most aren’t WDC material, sure, but you need a full grid and F1 has at least the best 15 drivers in the world. Just because they’re not at Lewis or Max’ level doesn’t mean they’re not really, really good.

The Ineos guy is the richest man in England. The Rich Energy guy was poorer than I am.

Russell and Norris are legitimate talents, and potential top level drivers. Albon is trailing a bit (as is Ocon), but De Vries shouldn’t be included in that list. He’s much older, and only won F2 due to the poor opposition last year. He was a teammate of Leclerc and Albon in GP3 in 2016 and those two were considerably…

...or just ignore people with hot takes on Twitter. Your life will be better.

He’s just trolling at this point. Ironically, the drivers that truly can’t hang in F1 end up in Formula E, IndyCar or WEC. IMSA’s ‘incredibly deep field of next-level drivers’ is made up of a bunch of 40-somethings who either never made it to F1, or did and never achieved anything while there (with the exception of JP…

Well, we know Bradley can admit he’s wrong.
