Silly Season 2020/2021 (starting with silliness in 2019)

There are those who say he went to mexico looking for enough funding to be 'the other driver' at RP/AM next year and he did it with the teams blessing. Don't recall where I read AM are not keen on the pink colour, it is not their expected image.

Well AM have always raced with either lime/dark green or some 2-tone combination of the two, iirc

Vettel looks less attractive as the days go by.
Signs are that he does not have deal with Aston. Anybody ever go through the situation of leaving your old job to something better? You are so happy you even work with a skip and whistle (like Ricciardo is doing now) This is definitley not happening with Vettel at the moment.

Depends on the old job. When you're not happy in the old job, sometimes the days seem to drag more and more and you lose all motivation.

According to ever reliable Gazzetta dello Sport RP made Vettel an offer with a salary of 15mio $ to be signed in Spa.

But that is hardly 'My Little Pony' Pink though

I dont follow, sorry. Why is that relevant?

The sort of person who has traditionally bought AM is not really associated pink, usually a more sedate grey or silver.

[raymondu999]

Yes. I’m saying it won’t be pink. It would clash with their identity a fair bit

[adrianjordan]

The white and blue parts of BWT's corporate identity could work with a traditional Aston livery though

[ENGINE TUNER]

Haven't we seen a traditional British racing green with pink trim at le mans for a factory Aston team? Pretty sure we have

I mentioned the colour clash in relation to the report of Perez going to Mexico. That is where his sponsor is and if he could cover the sponsorship BWT gives, they could change colour. If BWT would accept not too much pink I do not see him keeping his drive unfortunately. Money talks but not as loud as blood

Or i've missed it, but i'm surprised we haven't seen talk here about a possibility that popped up recently that Hulkenberg could drive for RedBull alongside Max.

What are you guys opinion on that matter?
Sorry if i'm blind and missed it!

I think Perez would be a better option tbh although I could see Verstappen tonking him in qualifying.

It must be 2016 again.

Nothing has changed for Hulk. We like him, but it seems the teams do not for some reason (possibly reputation for bad luck
