Poor Kimi made headlines recently in his Swiss home town

 

“In the penalty order by the Public Prosecutor's Office Zug dated 10 September, Räikkönen was convicted of violating the Road Traffic Act and fined 350 Swiss francs. In addition, he must cover the expenses incurred by the Zug police which amount to 450 Swiss francs”

More reason to dislike Mercedes in my opinion.

What they are doing to Ocon is disgusting. So a proven driver, who I believe if he was in Bottas's car could challenge for wins, gets shafted for an unproven F2 driver. I am sorry, Russell will be an also ran, nothing he has done in F2 stands out as showing me that he is massively talented. 

I mean Vandoorne has also not had an oppertunity to show his properly talented, but yes it was through poor choice of a car in the Mclaren I suppose.

[Baldrick]

Russell won GP3 in 2017 and should win F2 this year. Not sure where he is supposed to go after that. Ocon had a chance to approach Williams, but Russell beat him to it.

 

The problem is now what? Russell has no F1 experience and how are Williams going to provide him with a car that can at least get out of Q1.

 

Mercedes have created their own problem with Ocon by not having a junior team to place drivers in.

I suppose I agree with you but then surely it would be better for Russell to stick to F2, win and 2nd title and hope for a more competitive drive come 2020?

 

As for Ocon, it is poor form for Mercedes not to release him from his contract if they are unable to place him in a competitive car.

It would be silly for Russell to stay in F2. There are only 20 drives available and there must be at least that many billionaires trying to get their kid's into F1.

Okes, that was proper! The ice man winning again!! More F1 like that please!! Loved Kimi race radio after win! “Farking finally, thanks guys!’

 

Lewis is lucky he didn’t win the title this weekend, he would not get the attention he craves. Everybody wants to hear from Kimi, not some knob launching fashion labels. Rolls eyes

[Baldrick]

Agreed. Best race of the year. Max did well to last so long on the supersoft.

Biggest time gap between victories ever in the history of F1
