Thanks Steve and yes they will be mighty along with a few other drivers :yes:

Feeling the same way regarding my Z as its locked up in the garage and I just want to drive it but the weather is crap so wont take it out. Am I to protective of it???

You should ask it, ill bet it says yes! Lol.

Your probably right Steve :biggrin:

So Valtteri Bottas and Hamilton, and Massa already out of retirement before he started, back at Williams.

One year options on both. Most of the talent and big names are up for new contracts end of this season.

Wish Valtteri well though. He's pretty good, but an unknown quantity in a decent car.

Just like to say we have 62 days and three hours to go.:sweatdrop:

Sebastian Vettel is to leave Ferrari at end of 2020 season. He wanted to win the championship for Ferrari but has failed. So where now for Seb?

I’m not surprised with Leclerc showing him up and the mistakes he’s made, pressure from Ferrari to win must be unbelievable.

Its tough at the top mate you need to win or be replaced. I see Daniel Ricciardo is moving to McLaren for 2021 this is a good move for him as McLaren would of been a top team this season if they were allowed to race.

Just hope they and some of the smaller teams can recover from this Covid  recession. 

Carlos Sainz to join Ferrari has now been announced. Bring on 2021 season. ?

They would have been - but the Covid19 has pandemic has seriously effected McLaren. 1200 lay-offs is only the start; existing staff are having to reapply for their jobs; and whilst the news currently says only 70 employees from their 800-strong F1 operation are at risk, there could be worse to come.?

This covid 19 has changed everything ?

The lay-offs are necessary to help pay Ricciardo's salaryt, not a result of Covid-19.

GENTLEMEN RESTART YOUR ENGINES.?

 

After the false start of the 2020 season we are back to racing this Sunday with the Austrian GP. Lots of driver team changes and Vettel racing with a team that wants him out! Its going to be an exciting race but we start of with guess who having the fastest practice laps so far.

I have missed racing, I will be glued to the TV this weekend, watching F1 F2 and even F3. ?

Drama drama drama in Austria ? Lets hope for more next week.

Sure was extremely hard to predict, next race who knows.

End of an era as the Williams family step away from their F1 team.

Very sad.... Would have been great to see them bounce back but this had to happen.
