Button / Vandoorne
Interesting how a good performance from JB is going to badly hurt SV's career prospects if he lags behind - yet Jenson is Stoffel's manager!!

I love the way it has been a great more competitive for the team than the other GPs, I have to say that the way the penalty is meant for Jenson is a great disappointment to the sport

I'm sure Button will do the right thing and let Stoffel through, only for both cars to then retire in quick succession.

Well i think both cars will do the distance, with button perhaps getting up to 12th but vandoorne getting some well deserved points for 8th or ninth. Well ok i can dream

On a side note, Stoffel changed his management last year, iirc

Interesting that it was a double DNF but not due to either engine. Instead each driver binned their respective car.
And frustratingly ironic that the only 'McLaren' Honda engine to expire yesterday was Alonsos |

You have to admit the authorities in F1 live on another planet, giving JB a grid penalty for the next race classic case of being unaware of everything happening around them

there is always a possibility he will be at the next race and he did deserve the penalty plus there are the points against his licence.
granted one can hardly say there is consistency in their rulings/punishments but to leave it unpenalized would have been worse imo. |

Yes I honestly think they are, he seems to have gotten his autosport prize F1 drive rather promptly, as its taken others up to 2 years, whereby Lando is now testing a McLaren F1 car in spain.......I know Landos Carlin F3 engineer personally, he is old school, been there seen it done it......he tells me Lando is the real deal, he did not mince his words, Lando is a real weapon of a driver who can slay a circuit he has never driven on before, which is the mark of a great driver in the making.....and I have a feeling Mclaren already know this off the back of his simulator drives, they cannot let this lad slip through their fingers, I think its very highly probable that Lando will be driving a McLaren in F1 in 2018

Vandoorne and Norris would be a cracking line up.

He is doing the extra just like all the other big test programmes he has been in. Like he did dozens of F3 test days when he was all the way back in F4. His Dad will be paying for it is all... |
