No. I think he will quit F1.
Yeah just like how they moved over Kimi in China. Oh wait.NathanOlder wrote: ↑01 Jul 2017, 23:29Ferrari have moved Kimi around to help Seb. I very much doubt that will happen if Alonso was in the other car.
Wrong on so many levels.Manoah2u wrote: ↑01 Jul 2017, 23:50Yeah, that Monaco 'incident' was as blatant and as much of an insult to Kimi as can be.
He was on top of things all weekend long, he was on fire, we saw the Kimi we knew so well in the past,
and then Ferrari did that, and gave the victory for free to Vettel.
That was undeserved for Vettel and undeserving for Raikkonen to be treated like that.
I wonder how Kimi would have performed after winning that GP deservingly.
I think they have rather made a huge mistake with treating Kimi like that - they bashed him into a Barrichello or Massa to play second fiddle
to a loud temper and anger issue with no respect and no patience. this will come to bite them in the back hugely.

Every single race we get the exact same analysis from the exact same people ... its a hamilton track and he will run away with the race ...godlameroso wrote: ↑11 Jul 2017, 13:59US tires will not be used at this round. It'll be a tight fit to 1 stop the race if conditions are dry. The Ferrari is a better chassis but the Mercedes engine is still better. In normal conditions Hamilton should walk away with this one. The best Ferrari can hope to achieve is coming 2-3.Mandrake wrote: ↑11 Jul 2017, 11:30As long as Mercedes retains their qualifying advantage Ferrari is going to have a hard time winning on pace alone. If you need 1s+ in performance to be able to overtake Ferrari is not going to have such an advantage in the race. So either winning the start or undercutting at the pit stop is their only chance. And only if on the US tires Mercedes does not open up a 9 second gap.
Interesting choice of tires though between Merc & Ferrari
The race won't have normal conditions however, so should be quite interesting. I still expect Hamilton to take this one.
I am not one that buys into the its a Hamilton track stuff.Vasconia wrote: ↑11 Jul 2017, 15:39Its Silverstone and Mercedes has been strong here so yes, he should win. Plus he he has ended behind Vettel the last two races so it seems that we should see "a fight back" weekend this time.giantfan10 wrote: ↑11 Jul 2017, 14:08

I find it amusing.
Anyway I hope Ferrari can surprise Mercedes here.
Agreed, to stamp some sort of authority. With Sunday looking like rain, not sure how likely that is to happen though. That Ferrari isn't the most derivable car as far as power delivery and it wanting to put its tail up front when wet as demonstrated so often in the past.
Well he's only been dominant for the last 3 years, with a big gap back to 2008. So its more like Merc PU dominance than LH dominance... But don't let facts cloud your logic.
It just shows how poor Rosberg was at Silverstone. In 2007, Alonso was confortably faster. Lewis got another one of his fake low fuel poles but was merely 0.15s faster than Alonso who was carrying 4 laps of extra fuel(account for around 0.5s). Btw, Alonso vanished in front of Hamilton in the race, it was embarassing. After Lewis got out of the way, on lap 16, Kimi and Alonso opened 37s to Hamilton by the end of the race(pace around 1s per lap faster ).
