Ah, the Kimster… What a treasure. I don’t think he’ll be sticking around much longer though; sadly he hasn’t really challenged Seb at Ferrari, not for lack of talent I think. Ferrari must surely be itching to get a younger and more ambitious driver in there. Max Verstappen, if RB can’t give him a consistently race-winning car?

Yes. Send max to ferrari and send ricciardo to mercedes.

Leaving the Red Bull seats open for who?

Redbull always has some good youths stashed away. Let them come. Its obviously crazy but just imagine how good it would be.

Except I want Dani Ric at Ferrari - they need someone like him to remove the stick up their asses (as much as I love them they need a reality check).

Max at Merc - just to drive Lewis insane

And yes, Redbull have their interesting young drivers

I just want a driver next to Seb and Hamilton that will challenge them. The same scenario we had with Redbull last year. Just too bad their cars was shit and max only got to finish like 50% of his races. I think Max is just superb and I really hope they give him a car he deserves this year.

I am putting this here

I watched this last night. If it wasn’t for Alonso I think I would have stopped half way thru. It’s interesting for those who don’t know how preseason works. It’s sad when you see the optimism in the team and watch Honda break them and that was before the Australian race last year.

Am I the only one that no longer likes Verstappen? I mean yea the first few times he raced he was pretty good…then he started getting cocky…then he started getting into accidents…then they had to make rule changes just for him…then he kept getting into accidents.

The kid has talent, but he has alot to learn…

Im hoping he matures a bit. He has more talent than Kvyat and I loved Kvyat - the problem I found is they are starting in F1 younger and younger and I am sorry but this is not a sport for boys, anything under 21 shouldnt be allowed in F1. They are not mentally mature enough for the sport. I think given time Max could be good. Not great but good.

And Toro Rosso fired up its engine yesterday - the honda engine . . . The jokes afterwards was brilliant


The Haas F1 VF-18 is the first of the 2018 F1 cars to break cover, albeit as a digital render.
A surprise press release arrived in TJ13’s inbox at 3pm today, revealing the car design with a set of 3D computer renders. Apart from the Halo, the biggest reveal by the USA based team, is the copied aero concept Ferrari used in 2017.
haas-haas-f1-vf-18-1

The Italians negated the negative aero performance when the FIA mandated swept back sidepods by using their turning vanes to create a more aerodynamically efficient profile. This was one of the significant differences that gave the team a distinct advantage over the rest of the field in the early part of 2017. It appears the sister team to Ferrari (Haas), has followed their leader. It will be interesting to see in what direction the other teams will go.

Ugh, I was hoping we’d seen the last of the thumb noses. It looks like a neat enough car, although a digital render will obviously not tell the whole story.

That is a sexy looking car. Pity Grosjean is going to crash it into a million pieces.

It will also tune you if you keep replying to a single person in one thread. It will tell you engage some other people as well.

Very passive aggressive. I like it.
