Raikkonen, Vettel and Verstappen all together.
Narrow first turn. I'm nervous about this. |

Bottas has been very good or very fortunate in most of the turn 1 melees this year. Probably some of each.

Pretty good race.
I think Hamilton probably used up his tires driving through the field. It will be interesting to see what he says about it. Two Finns on the podium. I wonder when that happened last. (answering my own question: Russia, 2017, same two) Last edited by Plecain; 11-12-2017 at 12:53 PM. |

Kubica looking like the favorite for the Williams seat with numerous (obviously unconfirmed) reports that he already has a signed contract.

I know its a different animal but he competed in the WRC since his accident. How many of the the current F1 drivers on the grid would be capable at competing in rally at that level? Hell, he did about as well as Kimi did in his rally stint and Kimi came back and won races in what was supposed to be Robert's car. He has little chance of becoming a world champion anymore obviously but Williams is a mid-pack team at best anyway and he could help them develop the car and bring in some much needed sponsorship money. |

From a revenue perspective Kubika not being able to drive every track might be an even better situation. Kubika drives tracks where Williams is competitive then Williams brings in a pay driver to fill in at places where Kubika "can't drive". Money, money, money, money..... money. |

The NBCSports foursome of irksome F1 presenters is on their last race and one is left to wonder if the succession will be an improvement.
Shouldn't be too difficult to copy what the European networks are doing. |

I'm not a fan of the new F1 logo. Apparently, I'm not alone.

Snooze
Vettel, Hamilton, and Räikkönen each commented on just how much fun it is to drive around for 40 laps saving fuel. You could see it in everyone's in-car. They were backing off at the 200-250 meter marks for the corners.
Then Toto Wolff added to that by saying that the three engine limit for next year will be fine if everyone just turns down the power on the engines. Should be a great 2018 (not). Last edited by Plecain; 11-27-2017 at 01:11 PM. |

I would rather see them spend more money. Screw this watered down racing, and I don't care if there are a and b teams, the smartest will still win. Just spread the money better. Let ego's fuel the sport give the money equally between all teams to level the playing field and only a big team bonus for winning the constructors and race bonuses for podiums in quali and the race.
Give them a specific amount of fuel and then open rules on engines. Build whatever you want, use new technology and race hard. Same with aero, as long as your car fits through this "hole" in a template, have a min and max height, max width, min weight, spec tires, and let the technology flow. oh yes, dreaming... |
