I'd be fuming if I was Vettel, though he was going backwards at some rate on those tires by the end anyway. He really is. That race summed up the difference between him and Ricciardo. That was Verstappen's win if he hadn't been a clown. On a different note, any chance Williams could get Massa out of retirement again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Anyone else think Alonso was out of order with his move on Seb? He knew Seb couldn’t do anything and forced him off the track, this is the man who got his knickers in a twist when Seb done the same at Monza [emoji848] can’t criticise Fernando though.

It's difficult to evaluate the drivers against the opposition as the car obviously isn't that good, but against each other Sirotkin has done well comparatively against Stroll so far. The other alternatives are Kubica and Oliver Rowland if one of the two race seats become available. But it is still early in the season. It would be interesting later on to see if the team decide to evaluate both drivers and think about other options especially if results aren't coming. But now a days the teams have so much data they can see what is wrong with the package and if its the drivers then there is really no hiding. Its happened a few times where a new driver has come in while the regular driver has been rested for what ever reason, a good example was Alex Wurz replacing the unwell Gerhard Berger at Benetton in 1997 for three races. Wurz was immediately on the pace and showed well in all three races even finishing 3rd at the British GP, his pace immediately sent a message to the Benetton management that both their regular drivers Berger and Jean Alesi on the salaries they were on were under performing. Another example was the BMW Sauber team in 2006 where it was suspected that both drivers Jacques Villeneuve and Nick Heidfeld were not doing quite as well as expected and at BMW the team demanded higher standards, so when Villeneuve was injured in a crash in Germany and had to miss the next race the team brought in Robert Kubica who had been quicker than both regular drivers in testing. Kubica was outstanding on his debut despite being disqualified and it gave the team something to think about. Kubica's impact was telling it gave Heidfeld a kick up the backside he probably needed and like a petulant child Villeneuve threw his toys out of the pram and walked away from the team believing he didn't need to go head to head for the drive with Kubica as he had already proved he was good enough. From then on that season there was a marked improvement in both qualifying, race performance and results for the team. And of course the most famous one has to be Michael Schumacher at Spa for Jordan in 1991 replacing Bertrand Gachot who had been detained at her majesty's pleasure. On the subject of Villeneuve, why has it taken over a season for Lance Stroll to finally put JV on ignore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainMorton Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Was looking at the 2018 calendar there and noticed we have a France-Austria-Great Britain triple header at the end of June/beginning of July. That will be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
