F1 2019: ALL CHAT HERE

That seems to be the consensus, don't think the rest of the chain has been announced yet though so who knows, lol.

It makes sense. Don't rock the ship at Mercedes. Put the best team together for seven championships. Get Occon a decent seat. Get Renault some cash and resources to up their game in support of Occon and in return for his seat. Daniel won't mind at all, he might even have known when he jumped ship.

Everyone wins.

Beyond that it gets a bit hazier

 

[Petem86]

ha, you were right! Ocon to renault, and says haas are indeed interested in hulk

 

[DC.]

Good chance Grosjean could go to Williams if Kubica gets the boot.

 

[carmad.]

ocon just announced seat in renault

 

[RallyCiaran]

Good chance Grosjean could go to Williams if Kubica gets the boot.

I don't see Grosjean as a good fit at Williams. They need a Kimi Raikkonen type, a steady man who will race well and pick up points any chance there are a few for the taking.

 

[DC.]

Anyone would likely be an improvement on Kubica. Hulkenberg would be perfect but don’t think he would go there.

Surprised Stoffel Vandoorne hasn’t came back yet, always rated him in the junior formulas.

 

[cauld1]

Could Williams afford to continually replace parts on the cars that Grosjean would inevitably bin?

 

[DC.]

 

[svensktoppen]

Going into qualifying. Looks like advantage Ferrari, Lewis on the back foot, Bottas and Max going well, and Albon doing a great job in a new car.

More even on predicted race pace. Could get interesting

 

[DC.]

Absolutely horrific crash just there in the F2 feature race. Race immediately cancelled.

3 cars destroyed at the top of Eau Rouge, have the video but don’t want to share unless the worst news is delivered.

Looks horrendous.

 

[DC.]

As feared, Anthoine Hubert has died as a result of his injuries in this afternoons F2 crash.

RIP.

 

[e320mark]

Not good, was a horrendous crash! RIP

 

[FN2DAVE]

On the news. RIP , big one looks like he's hit the tyre wall bounced back into the runoff area and a second car has collected him and T-boned him , tragic altogether. F2 feature race cancelled at Spa after horrific crash at Eau Rouge

 

[svensktoppen]

Jeepers, that's not good! It's a proper scary corner that, flat out and nowhere to go. Unsighted too. RIP.

Some driving by Leclerk in quali

Vettel needed a tow to get ahead of Lewis who did a good job considering the straight line speed of that Ferrari.

[Aaargh, friggin' "automerge" messing things up again @Cooper ]

 

[McKay]

Sad day today, RIP Anthoine.

 

[FN2DAVE]

Video explains the series of events.
.
These cars mustn't be a huge way off from F1 performance? There pretty rapid cars.

 

[scub]

very sad. pure fluke to end up t boned like that by a car going more or less flat out.
no amount of safety is stopping that.

 

[gpaevo]

Pure lad didn't stand a chance, being hit by a missile.

Anyone else notice Hamilton not wearing a black armband. Disrespectful ****

Surely it is his choice if he wears one?

 

[scub]

you've proved his point there.!
although much as I detest Hamilton, he did release a statement of condolence yesterday along with everyone else.
anyhoo - go le clerc
well deserved win

How?

Saved by the bell, literally Superb drive by Charles, well deserved win! He's been knocking on that door a few times, great to see him get through

Great drive by Lewis too, the two of them were leagues ahead of anyone else, including their team mates.

Superb by Lando again, and Albon had a really good showing on his first day out. Very impressive both of them. Keep it up!

Shame about Max, but hey, **** happens. Nothing much either of them could do about that.

You're seriously trying to say Lewis didn't care? Now THAT'S disrespectful. Get over yourself.

[And stupid "auto merge" again... @Cooper]

Just read that Lando’s engine quit on the last lap?

 

[svensktoppen]

Ah, you're right, dropped back to 11th. Missed that in all the excitement!

Still a great race for him until then.

 

[pablo]

Albon did well alright.

Nice to see a Ferrari win. Leclerc worked for that and deserved it. I thought Ferrari had cocked up his strategy badly but was amazed when they swapped places.
