It's not fair on the personal to have so many races. NASCAR only works because it is one country

Sing i would think is a no brainer to re-sign so perhaps a more stream lined flying order can be set once a long term deal in place. Russia is the odd one out with it's request to change its date back to sept/oct...i thought they didnt like that time of year for a race hence why they asked to be moved earlier into the season...anyways i dont believe any change of date will lead to better attendance there. curious to see if China re-signs though...the teams say its an important market and for sure it is but does a race really impact on Merc or Ferrari sales in China? these cars sell there in ever increasing numbers and it has nothing to do with F1 imo. i can see that race not going ahead. |

McLaren Alfa Romeo?
Take note of the source... and who owns it... An aside, how do you reckon Mr Brown felt to get his United Autosports LMP2 prototype to the finish at Le Mans.. that would be a unique feeling this year |

Palmer will not be at Renault in 2018.

Rereading Cyril's comments re. Kubica I read it entirely as - a) Robert needs to prove he's commercially viable ie. he can attract money to the team either directly or indirectly and b) yes, how will he hold up on different types of circuit.
The Goodwood demo is just another step of rehabilitation (less so) - and building awareness of him commercially, to a wider audience, again. If some company stumps up some backing, he'll get the ride - but without it, Renault has to go where the money is on Nico's teammate. |

Unless Palmer improves in the next few races, his days at Renault will be numbered. Doesn't help having a great driver in Hulk as his team mate though

It (unfairly IMO) tarnished Perez, and his beating of Hulk has lowered Hulk's stock to a degree, which in turn makes Palmer look like he's doing even worse than if he was getting beaten by someone everyone thought was awesome. |

Exactly, fourth quickest car but going to be seventh or eighth in the championship.
Williams has such little credibility these days sadly |

Bit early to be making predictions like that. There's a long way to go.

I am amazed to see people critical of Williams, they are doing a decent job and Stroll hopefully can build on his points duck in Canada

I really hope Stroll can step up a gear now he's got his first points on the board. He seems like a nice kid and has taken a lot of stick despite a very impressive junior record. Would he have been better doing a season or two in F2? Maybe, but he is where he is. Opportunities to race in the top flight come along but rarely, and I don't blame him or his dad for taking this one. With a clear head and his feet on the ground, hopefully he can show the talent I think he has.

Based on his season so far I'm not sure we'll see much success, but I'd like to see it. |

I just don't see these risk averse, highly strung teams handing Kubica a race seat.

Meanwhile, Briatore spotted having dinner with Lauda and Wolff. And Garcia spotted having lunch with Prost and Abiteboul. Silly season is well and truly here.
