    I agree.

    Bernie didn't give a damn, just squeezed until we lost historical tracks and replaced them with passing resistant circuits in crappy locations.

    Speaking of Korea...

    What ever happened to that "new" track in Jersey they were talking up a couple years back? USA #2??

    If Haas can recover we may still see a 2nd circuit in the US. In the meantime Kubica should be joining Williams.

    Kubica, Sirotkin, Paul di Resta or Daniil Kvyat? Who will be the next Williams driver? What’s taking Williams so long? Have they figured out that Lance isn’t cutting it and they need to replace him too?

    I had kinda thought that Kyvat's F1 career had reached peak when he was with Red Bull. And it went downhill since then. Methinks there are more promising drivers available than Daniel. Several in GP2/F2 that are looking to get ahead.

    Uh-Hmmm ... I said it first.

    This past Brazil race was "Massa'a Second Annual Last Home Race" just before his "Second Annual Final F12 Race".

    Somewhere I have a t-shirt noting the "Fifth Annual Closing of Riverside International Raceway". And then I drove there with a Ferrari-Porsche Owners Club event in early March, 1989 - three years after the Fifth Annual Closing event. Good times.

    Unfortunately it's dead now. Big. Sigh.

    Stroll doesn't belong in F1. But he comes with suitcases full of money. Williams, unfortunately, needs cargo containers full of money.

    That statement is true for all teams except Ferrari, Mercedes, McLaren and perhaps Red Bull.

    Agreed. Add Verstappen to that list. He is arrogant, brash and wreckless!

    Yeah. Kinda reminds me of Ayrton Senna in his earlier - and later - years.

    One more thing I will say about Max - he sure has a bad habit of breaking cars, engines, hydraulics, etc. Curious that his teammate [with the same equipment] doesn't break anywhere near as much stuff.

    Agreed. He reminds me of early Grosjean.

    First read makes it look even more retarded that the current 2017 rules on power units.

    Agreed, we will just have to wait and see though. Friday we should see an announcement from Williams on who will be driving for them next year. Probably Sirotkin.....

    New blood. WIlliams. Nothing new here.

    I'm not surprised that Kubica isn't in a top spot. 7 years out of F1 is a career killer for sure. I think it would be miraculous for him to be competitive today.
