    Very sad to see the the Force India name is now gone but what is worse is the name that replaces it is just terrible. Such a lack of innovation.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Ferrari: TBC
    Red Bull: Sebastien Buemi
    Renault: Artem Markelov, Jack Aitken

    I'd love to see Markelov in an F1 car one day. The man is plain nuts but loves to race.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Antonio Fuoco is one of the Ferrari test drivers.

    Isn't Dan Ticktum the RBR reserve?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,001 ✭✭✭ Peyton Lively Tiller


    Here’s a strange sequence of events.

    When Rio Haryanto raced in F1 he used #88

    Robert Kubica will use #88 as his car number next season.

    The odd thing is that their respective national flags are the same color.

    Curious was this part of the reason for selecting that particular number as it was previously linked to identical colonies of the polish national flag just a different angle.

    I thought Fuoco had left Ferrari?

    Ticktum will probably get runs with TR eventually next year. I actually forgot Buemi; I'm 90% sure he is still on RB's books as their reserve for both team. Lord knows why :pac:

    Dan Ticktum does not have the requisite points for a super licence

    Which means he can't take part in a race but it wouldn't rule him out of a Friday run out would it?

    From 2019 there is a Free Practice Only Super Licence which Dan would qualify for.
    A reserve driver is normally taken as meaning the reserve driver for race weekends.

    If Dan races over the winter season and wins those championships he will have enough points for a Super Licence - pressure on Albon already !

    This was doing the rounds on Facebook today.



    The twitchiness of the cars then was just so good.

    Latifi is moving from Racing Point to Williams where he will be reserve driver and get 6 FP1 outings next year.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,378 ✭✭✭HighLine


    Don't think I've ever seen Kimi as engaged in a conversation :D

    Two things stand out immediately, 1) Seb is rocking the sh1t out of his tache, if he keeps that up it'll be a full Mansell in no time. And 2) how hammered is Kimi :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,378 ✭✭✭HighLine


    Another few clips. Must have been a free bar :D:D

    Seb must have taken good ol' "Red 5" to heart in his quest for a 5th title.

    Ah shite. That means he won't be on whatever coverage that channel 4 manage to put together.

    Who will Sky ditch for him? John Paul?


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,606 ✭✭✭✭skipper_G


    Great that he's joining Sky, because he will improve the quality of the broadcast endlessly. I hope they ditch Herbert, he's a clown

    Different roles though so I doubt it. But yeah, Herbert epitomises what's wrong with the Sky team.

    Yeah I know you're right about the roles but a man can dream & I really hate Herbert as a pundit. Nothing against him personally - he acts like an unprofessional buffoon though and that takes away from the coverage.

    But with Ted Kravitz owning that pitlane reporter role at Sky, will be interesting to see what they actually do with Karun. Probably they'll find a way to waste him


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,610 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    Karun is so much better than Ted at pit lane reporting. And he doesn't have any smugness about him. He is always genuinely exciting as events unfold in the pitlane.

    As an aside, Kuran is also a good co-commentator. I enjoy watching FP2 when he's tag-teaming with Ben Edwards. It'll be interesting if Ben turns up somewhere good?!

  • Registered Users Posts: 7,425 ✭✭✭Inviere


    With C4 relegated to showing highlights, I'm ok with this. More Karun is a good thing, he's brilliant. Puts Ted and that fool Herbert to absolute shame.

    I wouldn't mind an Edwards and Brundle pairing on Sky.
