2018 Scuderia Toro Rosso F1 Team - Honda

Lando isnt cutting it in GP2, so why should they want another rookie who has been pumping up with glory runs in practice. Just look at Vandoorne, who has years of experience over Lando and won GP2. Best bet is to have Sainz back next year, as he might not have a race seat by the looks of things.

I agree. At this point i don’t think bringing in a driver is a priority. Might as well keep the 2 and develop with continuity for the rest of the season. A point or two at this point is not as important as to understand the package and sort out the rear with Red Bull and Honda. Keep Key away from helping McL and work on getting L for next season is strategically correct for TR.

Personally I would love if key can start right away. McL May have to do some negotiating to make it happen.

[HPD]

Marko already said it. If Lando does not run in 2019, he is a free driver. James Key can remain in TR fulfilling his contract and Lando run in TR 2019 without any problem.
Mclaren has nothing to negotiate with

[PhillipM]

They've already been negotiating, this isn't a surprise to Marko, he's just playing PR to apply leverage - and it's working, people are lapping it up.

There's strong indication that Sainz could be a Mclaren driver if he does leave Renault. If that's the case, Mclaren could be in a better position, as we have no idea how Lando will perform in F1.

personally eventually key will be in mclaren, so marko should not keep him in gardening leave for long. just get some money and send him there and get lando in quick

[Zynerji]

Sounds silly, but if I was Stroll, id be trying to get into STR for next year.

RedBull parts means more money diverts to aero, and the addition of dads money means even more development.

I never liked him as a pay driver, but he actually isn't that bad. He flies a lame duck at Williams. Id be interested to see how he does in a more developed car.

Gasly P6, ahead of the so called rain master... Great great performance in tough conditions. Good job Hartley as well...

[Singabule]

Great job, pirelli wet suck tbh

lucky but i will take it, any thing is better at this point, some more points hopefully

Not luck, conditions were the same for everyone, especially in Q3. The boys did a good job.

Yeh they did a good job, but it was all about timing. The planning had to do a good job to time their lap starts, and the drivers had to do a good job to push as hard as they did but stay on track.

Taking nothing from anyone, it was the timing that made the difference, be it luck or judgment. Good result.

[Jerrycobra]

Looking at FP pace I think they would have had a shot at Q3 even in the dry.

[McMika98]

Hartley has earned some respect in the last two races and hope he delivers tomorrow. I worry that Max will lunge inside Pierre tomorrow and take him out.

The drivers are delivering, no need to change. I actually think that todays performance was half driver half engine mapping. Teams with customer engine struggled today, would have expected more from RedBull but i dont think they had optimal mapping for wets like Renault.

Honda twitter feed clearly proves that they were updating settings and maps throughout quali. Top effort from the team. Can we please have more wet quali
