Schumacher and Hulkenberg at Alfa Romeo https://www.planetf1.com/news/mick-schumacher-alfa-romeo-link/ The article also suggest that Haas could use 2 other Ferrari driver academy drivers
https://www.planetf1.com/news/sebastian-vettel-williams-fw14b/ Tired of Ferrari's poor performance, Mr Vettel has bought himself an upgrade.
Ironically he'd be about 2 seconds off the pace of last year's fastest lap in that Williams (yes I'm ignoring layout changes).
Yeah but it would sound amazing. How the crew feel about fuel stops? he cant one tank that for the whole race
I feel bad for Claire Williams, bearing in mind she was the one who moved to get Massa, Smedley and Mercedes on board when she took over in 2013. The 2014-16 rules favoured them but as soon as the high downforce rules came in they were doomed. Claire inherited 15 years of under-investment in aero and the Williams budget offered them absolutely no chance of catching back up when downforce became the deciding factor again. Not surprised the new owners gave the Williams family the heave ho though, their method of deciding things in the back room over a cuppa was obsolete in the 90s. We'll see where this goes next year.
Williams by name, regarless how good or how bad a job the family done, is it really Williams without them? I guess you could argue that McLaren and Ferrari are still the same teams despite different ownerships/parent companies and their namesakes are no longer there
They say never judge F1 by free practice, well it’s still Merc 1-2 and the gaps are huge 8/10ths of a second back to Redbull
No party mode was bound to mean only party mode in qualifying. If it does hurt them at all it's going to be over a race distance, either with reliability or fuel, or limiting performance as a consequence of those worries.
