bertusras Posted July 18, 2018 Share I do like Monaco's large run off areas FIA have always wanted Africa in the championship so that they have all the continents covered. Although the south pole GP could be an issue. Kimi would love it. It's not only about run-off areas, but I do believe that's a big part of it. Kyalami doesn't have tarmac run-off, but rather gravel traps. Other issues such as Medivac facilities and general access also play a role. The sniffing that I'm concerned about is Liberty Media (owners of F1) having a jol at Assen with the MotoGP this year, saying it would be cool to bring F1 there. GO. THE. ****. AWAY.

Call me stupid and old fashioned but I like gravel traps. A driver should be punished for his errors, not simply feed back in behind the driver he just tried to overtake but cocked up. Better still if the gravel is really deep and it ends his race!!!! Would 2 F1 cars even fit side by side on the Assen track, its freaking narrow!!!

bertusras Posted July 19, 2018 Share I know his answer: https://www.wheels24.co.za/Motorsport/formula-2-driver-handed-suspension-for-texting-while-driving-and-hitting-his-team-mate-20180709 I also picked up on this earlier today. He also wanted to put #makeamericagreatagain on the side of his car and got denied by the FIA. Following up on this earlier conversation had elsewhere, this tool just had his contract terminated with the team. "Since the beginning of the championship, the driver justified its payments’ default with alleged failure by his sponsors to fulfil their obligations. "It seems weird that, despite such kind of issues, Santino Ferrucci had the resources needed to enter the Detroit IndyCar race from June 1st to 3rd while, at the same time, he was not honouring his agreement with Trident Motorsport."

He was obviously talented but had an attitude problem.Similar to Hector "Hectic" Barbara who had the same termination but for drunk driving......

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted July 23, 2018 Share dammit Disappointing yes, unless you are a Hamilton fan I suppose. From the 2nd driver's not being able to race to the wishy-washy stewards application of rules.Obviously Vettel's mistake was such a disappointment but these things happen and he is still in the title race........ Just to clarify before people slam the "penalty", go look at Massa in Brazil in 2013 and the Kimi in Baku in 2016. Both did the same as Lulu and both were penalized. They weren't the golden boy though........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piston ZA Posted July 23, 2018 Share That was heart-breaking. A relatively small mistake has resulted in a probable 32 point swing in the driver's championship. But to distract me from that heart-break .... WTF were the Torro Rossos doing on full wets? Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Stroll strolling around in the Stroll" Read at least 2 article saying its a done deal but then also articles saying it is highly likely.Lots of midfield movement going on behind the scenes!!!Saw Ocon has been just about confirmed at Renault.Hoping Grosjean is gone soon!!!
