Stop talking sense fool lol

Ted mentioned in his notebook that the circuit suited the Merc but he thought the Ferrari might be as quick, or quicker in race trim, there was also a funny bit you might find amusing where he was talking to the guy from NBC about it and the NBC guy said this is the kind of info Americans will be missing out on next year, to which Ted replied, shall we discuss that. No let's not go there ( or words to that effect).

I assume Kvyat will be back in place of Sainz.

So, someone has missed their targets or Renault spilled enough cash so that Palmer accepted it.

Who cares how it happened, let's just celebrate the fact that he'll be gone by the end of tomorrow. 1 useless mofo down, 2 (maybe 3) to go. Ericsson and Kimi you're next (plus Massa will probably be done by season's end anyhow).

Maybe they think they can overtake Torro Rosso in the championship with Sainz onboard.

Fixed that for you. :innocent:


I wouldn't be surprised if dr. Marko is behind this, fired Sainz on spot for his crash on Friday. Wouldn't be the first time when he gives the shit to a Toro Rosso driver on Friday practice in far east race weekend.

yes that's fair. I am being unfairly harsh on Kimi and should have included Kvyat. I still think Kimi should retire though.

Palmer will join IndyCar and drive alongside Chilton and Kimball in their new Mediocre-Power Team.

Soul mates. At least Chilton didn't crash every other opportunity he got to crash. Palmer actually thinks he deserves to be in F1. Chilton, for me, never had that 'air' around him. Doesn't mean that he wasn't near useless.

now we'll see drivers that paid to have the talent instead of just paying for the seat

and Ferrari 2nd seat is quite a waste either, last time a number 2 Ferrari won was a long time ago

The entire Chilton family are well known to be self-entitled and self-absorbed within Motorsport circles (pardon the pun).

I don't know where all this speed is suddenly coming from for Mercedes. It was quite an ominous sign when Vettel couldn't even beat Hamilton's soft tyre laptime using supersofts in P1. Vettel is looking at a best result of second place tomorrow, barring a failure for Hamilton.


Qualifying engine mode. They can't sustain that kind of speed in race trim. Hamilton will be under tremendous pressure from Vettel and the RBs.
