GTEASER Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Dafuq? You a mad man. LeClerc will go to Ferrari as a reserve to learn from Kimi and Vettel and become acclimatized to Ferrari. Kimi will race for Ferrari in 2019. Giovanizza or whatever his name is will go to Sauber to race in 2019.Well, I was close. Bwoh!

baconbits Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I desperately hope this doesn't turn into an Alonso/McLaren downgrade. I also hope this doesn't guarantee Mercedes taking the constructor's championship easily next year... I see Ferrari competing more with RBR now without a consistent podium finisher in Kimi.

rebourne Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 A fresh young driver will put more pressure on Vettel to stop making mistakes that cost him podiums and wins. Being upstaged by a World Champ is much less embarrassing than being upstaged by a youngin with no podiums. How will Vettel handle that pressure? I understand Kimi being moved to Sauber, but I don't love it. I wonder if it still would have happened if Kimi had won Monaco. pic thread build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baconbits Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I get that Leclerc has wiped the floor with Ericsson but he's not what Vettel was pre-RBR... what's with all the "Leclerc is the second coming of Jesus" talk in F1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebourne Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 no no, I'm not saying that. I'm saying when the car Leclerc is driving is one of the best 4 on the track and Vettel takes himself out in one of his now infamous first lap "sorry guys" farkups, Leclerc will have a good chance of walking to a podium. Honda - RBR though... Please please please be good and make this a 6 car battle. pic thread build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Don Panoz died. This makes me sad. He was a kind of savior of American prototype racing in the 90s and IndyCars in the 2000s.

I know you're not saying Leclerc is that but everyone else seems to be. I just don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 We will find out next year, won't we? Will Leclerc be a Hamilton/Alonso mash up? Wouldn't that be fun, putting the fox in the Vettel hen house? I bet it will happen on occasion. Can't wait until March! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KartRacerBoy Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 "We hire drivers, not butlers." Seriously, if any team has hired butlers rather than drivers, it has been Ferrari. Irvine?

KartRacerBoy Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 A somewhat interesting Singapore GP, mostly becz of the clown antics of Sirotkin and Perez.

rebourne Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I know Martin Brundle has been complaining that the DRS is too strong at other tracks. Seems like here, the opposite was true.

Seems like here, the opposite was true. Some passing would have been nice. I was hoping Max would torpedo himself into Hamilton at the start and give Vettel the win. Perez boned Vettel after Vettel's pit stop. Other than Perez and Sirotkin, what a boring race, and I usually really enjoy Singapore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I rooting for Lewis and against Vettel/Ferrari, but I almost always root against Ferrari Kimi is an exception. I would like to see him win this season. Verstappen had an awesome race in that underpowered car. I thought Vettel might start crying in the post race interview. But still six races to go. If Hamilton has a problem in one race, Seb could be right back in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Robert Wickens released a video of himself in the hospital in Indy. He is going to take a looooooonnnnng time to recover, let alone race again, from the looks of him. But he sounds good. No word of if he will have lasting spinal cord damage. https://racer.com/2018/09/16/wickens-releases-video-message/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) From Turn 2 at Sonoma today. Beginning of the 2nd restart after the safety car around Lap 50 (35 to go). Rossi was up to 12th at this stage and after the last set of pit stops was up to 5th but finished 7th IIRC. Enjoyed seeing some red hot glowing rotors on Bourdei's car in the closing stages from the Turn 9 chicane.

KartRacerBoy Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I watched the Sonoma race. Nice end to the season. I'm glad Dixon won the championship, but Rossi put on his usual show with his comeback attempt. There was some good racing going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KartRacerBoy Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Toto Wolff of Mercedes wants to able to run three cars to give young drivers a chance. I had ideas how to do this so the lesser teams didn't get screwed out of points/money by the top teams sweeping the top 9 places, but this article presents a better idea. Make the big teams pay the little teams to run a third driver in the little teams' cars. https://racer.com/2018/09/20/medland-could-this-fix-f1s-young-driver-problem/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
