Silly Season 2018/2019

[Chuckjr]

I think Fred is going to Indycar.

McLaren should come good next season then.

Who fancies Alonso & Kubica driving a Williams next season?

Although his announcement due today is probably just a mid-season sale over at Kimoa.com...

As per the report from this article, kimi is getting 2 years extension at Ferrari!

That would surprise me about Kimi having another two years, but then the rationale sounds plausible and not unlike Ferrari (it would be more out of place for them to take a young driver).

So this is my complete set of predictions as we currently stand:

Ferrari - Seb and Kimi
Mercedes- Lewis and Bottas
Red Bull - Max and Sainz (travesty if overlooked)
Renault- DR and Hulk
Haas - KMag and leclerc (patience lost in Grosjean - seen as a small step up for Leclerc as compensation for missing Ferrari drive)
McLaren - Alonso (also driving Indy 500 plus some other races) and Norris
Force India - Stroll and Ocon
Williams - Perez and Russel (maybe Kubica)
Sauber - Giovanazzi and Ericsson (maybe Vandorne?)

Where is TorroRosso?

Where is TorroRosso?

they found no drivers

So if that all came true, of those top 4 teams, who has the strongest lineup ? Renault ???

Depends how Norris does I think. Could be McLaren by a distance or Mercedes by default.

I'd give Lewis the nod over Dan by a bigger margin than Hulk over Bottas so Mercedes would be my choice over Renault but if Lando comes in on or above Alonso's pace then it's easy McLaren so it depends on him.

Then RB if it's Max+Sainz or Ferrari if it's Max+Gasly.

Just noticed you said top 4, sorry ignore me.

Mercedes then.

Because TorroRosso doesn't exist

[Starscreamer]

I think:
Ferrari: Vettel - Raikkonen
Mercedes: Hamilton - Bottas
Red Bull: Verstappen - Gasly
Renault: Ricciardo - Hulkenberg
McLaren: Sainz - Alonso
Toro Rosso: Hartley - Norris
Stroll Gp: Stroll - Perez
Haas: Magnussen - Grosjean
Williams: Ocon - Sirotkin
Sauber: LeClerc - Giovinazzi

Fact!

Or I’m an idiot... one of the two.

I also haven’t really thought about who might drive there - Gasly and someone who isn’t Hartley, I reckon

[Macklaren]

Is Alonso's announcement out yet? If he is waiting for Americans to wake up, it's almost certainly Indycar related...

[marvin78]

No it will be marketing. As always when he says, he has a big announcement.
