F1s ok, but I prefer BTCC, then the German DTM series, you can relate to them a bit more.

Apparently Ocon told Vettel he is out of Force India at the end of the year to be replaced by "the one who bought it"

I can’t take a driver seriously when they have HD Eyebrows!

It’s sad when the only reason Force India drivers will be in those seats next year is that one is the son of the owner and the other is because he brings money to the team.

Horner or maybe Helmut did have talks with Briatore and something seems to have been lost in translation (Ted Karvitz, SKYF1)

Hamilton also stated that it's a shame a talented driver (Ocon) may be replaced as early as Singapore and may not have a drive next year due to a 'paid driver'. Toto will do his best but unless he is loaned to another 'manufacturer', it is looking unlikely which would be a shame. Although, if he can convert his qualifying into a good result, it may help.

They should send him to Williams for free and get rid of Sirotkin

Appears that Ferrari have completely turned the engine stakes on its head this season.

That car is formidable and unless Mercedes have something in the bag then I think they will struggle to beat Ferrari in Monza.

Certainly looks like Mercedes need to up their game a bit.

An old B-Class.
So did today's race prove you cannot win without a good car....SV, 11 second win over LH. Have to admit I did not watch the race so there maybe a reason that LH was so far behind.

He knew he couldn't win so turned everything down

Who is taking Stroll's seat if/when he moves to Daddy's team?

Ocon deserves a seat and should replace a lesser driver like Hartley or Ericsson next season.
These paid for drivers should be there on talent, not what cash they bring to the table.

My predictions

Williams = Kubica and Sirotkin
McLaren = Sainz and Ocon
Sauber = Errikson and Vandoorne
Haas = Magnusson and LeClerc
Torro Rosso = Hartley and ????????
RP Force India = Perez and Stroll (obv)

I would love to see Kubica at Williams! Met him at Goodwood, such a genuine nice guy & more than happy to sign & have a picture with my son! His arm is so badly damaged though! Wish he had never gone to rallying!
