RMweb Premium njee20 Posted August 12, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 12, 2019 Albon playing with the big boys at Spa. That's a hell of a coup for him, you have to assume Gasly is going straight out the door when a rookie takes your seat! 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted August 12, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 12, 2019 Kvyat is going to be a bit peeved though as he has more points and just got them the podium. Albon has got the moves though even if luck hasn’t gone his way so much. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted August 12, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 12, 2019 Good to be reassured that things Horner and Marko say are as unreliable as ever. Gasly was going to be helped to perform at a higher level. Yeah, right. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, but he'll have to now, if he wants to continue accruing points at the same rate. From Red Bull's perspective, it's worth a punt. Stick and they finish behind Ferrari. Twist and they might give Ferrari a hard time. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulleidboy100 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Read news at about 5.30pm - "Mercedes have confirmed that VB will keep his position for 2020" - probably best not to believe it until he is seen in the car! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you read that? Motorsport.com and Autosport have nothing on this. The F1 fansite has a piece, but that doesn't specifically say that, nor does the English translation of the article in Auto Bild. That piece implies that Toto W has yet to finalise his decision, but that a move to Renault would be a strong possibility for Ocon if Bottas stays at Mercedes. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had his time in F1, never lucked into a seat in a really competitive team or caught a break to get a podium. That's over eight and a half seasons. You have to conclude that if the magic was going to happen, it would have been seen by now. I loved Toto's piece about staying focussed, I suppose anything less than 8 out of 9 now would have to be seen as failure... Do we suppose that McLaren are happy about Albon in the Red Bull? Unless he immediately gives Verstappen a hard time at Spa (now that would be real fun) I should think Sainz and Norris will see this as opportunity to up their average placing this season, assuming that their car's improving trajectory has been maintained over the summer. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Bottas retained at Merc. https://www.espn.co.uk/f1/story/_/id/27483113/bottas-stay-hamilton-mercedes-2020 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 So Merc have gone the safe choice route. Presumably don't see a clearly superior option among the potentially available drivers, and with a winning combination in place that works are not inclined to experiment. Strikes me as a little short sighted, surely if Bottas was going to develop into the lead driver for the team he would be giving Hamilton a real run for his money every race by now? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micklner Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 No offence to Bottas, who in GP terms no more than an average driver. I wonder how much Hamilton wanted a safe compliant 2nd in the team , especially after Rosberg, who actually put some excitement back into Mercedes in his time?. They should be doing the same as Red Bull bringing up new blood for the future, not stagnating. Interesting article today in the Daily Express, BTCC now has a higher spectating audience than F1, the BTCC figures up by nearly 20% . ITV are quite pleased !! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than average, if you compare points scored between team mates. Only Leclerk and the Hulk (narrowly) have scored better compared to their team mates. As for Red Bull, I suggest you look at Autosport for some in depth evaluation of their driver programme and its effect. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better racing, better overtaking (except Platos inability to pass anyone without spinning their car around), 3 races a day with the weight penalties and reversed grid race, drivers that like being interviewed etc, whats not to like. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted August 29, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 29, 2019 Red Bull don't have a 5-time world champion in their line up, so comparisons about nurturing young blood are moot, particularly given their propensity to oust people who don't perform. I'm not sure a cut-throat mentality is particularly nurturing. Bottas is a great number 2. Ocon is a huge unknown and having not driven for a year could either be a bit of a disaster, or risks upsetting Hamilton if he turns out to not to be so rusty and goes up against him more aggressively. Wait a couple of years until Hamilton retires, then put Ocon in as number 1 perhaps. Renault will be good for him. Hopefully Hulk will end up ousting Grosjean. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
