Formula 1 - F1 - Current Season Discussion

Magnussen and Grosjean will leave Haas at the end of year.

Absolutely no one is shocked by that.

I hope this doesn't mean that Giovinazzi will keep his seat at Alfa. They're already wasting one seat on Kimi...

They could always waste a seat on Mick.

Theres a lot of marketability and sponsor cash attached to that name, though.

Its a super weird silly season after a super weird season. And theres a lot of really fast guys available right now, with a fair number of slower guys keeping their seats. I mean, Alonso is back to be slow on the track and divisive in the paddock. Next year is gonna be boring and entertaining. Wait... No, thats right, I think.

The most successful driver of all active drivers is still unsigned.

Hamilton should sign for Haas for 50% of the team...

I was just listening to The Race's podcast about Mick Schumacher. They have persuaded me that he has earned a shot in F1, particularly if he wins the F2 championship. Like me, they don't think he's at the level of his father, but neither are the majority of people on the grid right now. If Stroll and Latifi can be on the grip because of daddy's money, there's no reason Mich shouldn't be on the grid because of daddy's name. He's at least as accomplished in the feeder series as either of them.

I truly don't understand why Alfa would want to sign Kimi for another year. He doesn't do any of the stuff that would make him a marketing asset, the car doesn't seem to be improving because of his feedback (he has always needed a very particular car characteristic to do well), and he costs more than a young driver.

He's already doing the Extreme E thing, and now that Nico's announced a team, we can look forward to the resumption of hostilities.

Nico announced the Extreme E on his YouTube channel and everyone was commenting Nico Lewis rivalry continues!

Looks like there are some great drivers interested in the Extreme E series.

• Sebastien Ogier
• Timmy Hansen

I wonder if Petter Solberg or Johan Kristoffersson, both World RX champions will participate.

There's just no way to justify Albon's continuing at Red Bull unless RBR wants to say that they've designed a car that only Max can drive (which, given Gasly's immediate upturn upon returning to TR/AT, may actually be the case).

Albon needs to be demoted. He got 2 years to prove he belongs and he hasn’t.

What the hell happened to Shwartzman in the F2 Championship?

In the last 6 races has fallen from the lead to 5th now.
