    Yea it’s usually a follow the leader.... sometime someone get some balls and makes a pass or good run. Either way, I wouldn’t change the race. To historic.

    Funny how when they win.. all good. But when they dont.. sucks. However, once the race is done, they just go back to their house in Monaco... so they don’t have to pay I come tax. Lol..

    For some reason, I have a sneaking suspicion Mercedes has been sand-bagging a bit and will turn up the wick again in the second half. I'm not sure Vettel and Ferrari can win the title this year. He (Vettel...actually along with some questionable Ferrari strategy calls) seem to have a brain fart at key parts of a race from time to time. I don't seem to remember a lot of these type of mistakes in Vettel's Red Bull days.

    I would like to see Toro Rosso show Red Bull how much better the Honda motor is over Renault's.

    Ricciardo sticking with Renault engines by signing with the Renault team for next season. This is getting interesting.

    Who will team up with Mad Max?

    I believe that most of it hinges on how many zeros are on that check he gets from the Frenchie French team.

    Interesting, you really think Alanso will go to Indy? Last couple F1 drivers didn’t do all that will if memory is correct. Note not saying it’s harder, just it appears to be pretty different.

    That said, would love to see him go to Indy... then we can see the “best driver in the world”... continue to lose season after season. Not sure what he will blame his loss on but he will figure out something... (FYI this is sarcasm mixed with tired of whining.. the best driver in the world is a reference a few folks who believe he is like old Bernie and Alanso himself) :)

    It will be an interesting trade season. I’m a bit behind still.... but catching up. Overall, pretty good season so far. I do hate the halo from a looks perspective... but get it from safety.

    I'm not sure Fernando is the best in the world, but he is definitely in the top 5. I hope he does go to Indy, it would be great for the series. As far as I'm concerned he has nothing left to prove. He should go where he'll be happy & I think Indy cars would do that for him.

    The rest of the yearly seat swapping should be fun to watch.

    Agreed - I think he is a very good driver and it would be good for Indy. I'm hoping Indy starts to allow some development on the car... 2 years ago I went down to the St. Pete race.. great venue.

    I think Danny went to Renault because Max is going to Multi-21 him, and I’m sure that fellow Red Bull Aussie Webber has warned Danny about what it was like getting booted to second fiddle for Vettel.

    As for who gets the second seat, Red Bull is going to want someone who will stay out of Max’s way and be content to just run interference. I’m betting someone from their Young Driver’s program.

    Only trouble with Alonso being in a McLaren Indy car is the fact Honda is not happy with him. He didn't hold back on his negative thoughts about his Honda F1 engine. I hope he can make his way there & that the team fields a good car for him.

    McLaren should stick to F1. The car is a mess. Diluting the F1 effort with an Indy car program would be a mistake. If Alonso wants to go, so be it.

    I think their car manufacturing is distracting them... much less adding an Indy team. If anything, the should do a factory back for GTLM.. Indy makes no sense (in my mind).

    Regarding Alonso.. I bet he goes to WEC over Indy but I could be wrong..especially if he wants the triple crown.

    Where ever he lands I wish him luck. I hope he lands in a competitive Indy car seat.

    It will be an interesting pairing. Gasly is an up & comer with talent. I wonder how long until he feels he can try & beat up on Max.

    Here's a surprise, Charles Leclerc is going to Haas! Moving from the Junior Junior Ferrari team to the Junior Ferrari team! I think it's a good move for him and Haas.
