Excellent race, watched it on a slight delay.
I love night races. Wished for a better result from Bottas (because he was my fantasy pick  ) but I'm happy for Ferrari

There are speculations/accusations (based on what he said in the past to Spanish media) that Alonso DNF'd the car only because he wasn't in the points.

I'm thinking Alonso goes to Renault next year. Renault is dumping millions into their F1 program and will be scoring points this season and winning races within a few years. They are the third engine manufacturer to also be running a team. Only Ferrari and Mercedes can say that.

Btw... it may be hard to objectively defiine who the very "best" driver is... it's pretty clear to me that Seb, Lewis, Maxipad, and Alonso are probably the best four drivers in terms of a full race and removing any specific car performance (or lack thereof).

The question for Renault is, as they want to win in 2018 and contend for the championship in 2019, do they want to deal with Fernando's issues for a year if everything goes exactly to plan? Also keep in mind that Alonso's salary is $40 million a year. Hulkenburg and Grosjean can be both had for $10 million combined. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Do you see Alonso staying at Mclaren another year? Because I don't and where would he go for only one year before moving to Renault? You can almost guarantee Grosjean goes to Renault next year.

Alonso can't go back to Ferrari. Burned that bridge when he opted out. I still think he's headed to WEC, probably Porsche. Can't see him doing the development role since doing it at Mclaren has been so painful. Why would Renault want him back? Hulk and Palmer probably cost them half what Alonso would alone.
Kimi goes to Renault maybe, maybe stays at Ferrari, don't think he's ready to give it up yet. Not like there is anyone Ferrari is hot to bring to the ranks. Sure not Giovinazzi after destroying two Saubers in as many days. Wonder how many free engines that cost Ferrari? What the hell, it's not even close to silly season! Good race, we were both hollering at the TV when Vettel passed Hamilton at the start. I got the first five picks right! |

That race was badass for the second week in a row!
Kimi is so damn slow. Mercedes will win the constructor's championship without a doubt. I would love Vettel to win the driver's championship but I expect it to be Hamilton. As long as Kimi is in the second seat, Ferrari doesn't stand a chance against Mercedes. I see Alonso, Ricciardo, or Verstappen at Ferrari when Kimi leaves. All three of them are die-hard racing drivers, not the 'content to finish where I finish' fatalistic attitude Kimi brings. Ferrari needs someone that's hungry. |
