    For me, the decision was obvious to go with Honda from both a technical and commercial view.

    Wonder what that means for Daniel now.

    He'll most likely stay with RBR.

    He should sign with Benz or Ferrari... Honda is still behind and will not get closer to winning

    Back to the thread....Yeah Ricardo should move. He's got a big nose to sniff out moves on the track and he has got some serious talent..

    This track looks like it was painted on an airport landing strip. Theres very little elevation changes, tons of concrete outside of track limits, and wtf is up with that pitlane exit.

    It's been an F1 test track for many years. The different paint colors in the runoff areas denotes the level of grip available to slow the car down. Red zone has the most grip.

    Like I said, it was a test track haha.

    FA is going to be running Indycar in a McLaren next year. Can’t wait. When Mansell moved to CART, completely blew up the series in new fans. So needed once again in Indycar.

    New Merc PU looks like they have gained back their power advantage over the field. Vettel and the rest of the field weren't even close in Q2/3.

    EDIT: Also, is Grosjean the new Torpedo? I lost count of how many times this guy has put his car into a wall this year.

    Well he is freeing up a seat for someone next year Really bad form by him this season especially since he has 0 points to magnussen's 19. Could be interesting in the off season. Leclerc to ferrari, giovinazzi to sauber but who to haas, maybe Kvyat. That would make marko very salty.

    Pascal Wehrlein? I think he's a better option than Kvyat. Brendon is on borrowed time too, and could get replaced mid year at this rate.

    New? Grosjean has always been a torpedo. Only difference is his targeting system has been recalibrated from other drivers to walls this year.

    He is a mercedes driver though, that is his curse. Them pulling out of DTM means his only real option is formula e.

    Come on seb, another dumb mistake.
    Other thoughts: Magnuessen is still carrying the team, same with Leclerc. Renault are seemingly doing well as the best of the rest. Stroll really needs to stop locking up. Amazing trophy tho.
