Not sure if there’s much, or any, actual cash. Right now it’s a small deal for a handful of races. Maybe trying to tempt them for 2019.

Mclaren are also making really conservative choices with their tires. i think both here and in Japan they chose the fewest number of the softest available compounds.

given how pants they are and where they are finishing they really should be taking more chances with the softest compounds...at the very least try to flatter to deceive no?

its still odd to me how dismal Alonso's exit from F1 has been/shaping up to be! and not just in terms of the car but also the response from the fans/rest of the paddock.

the Mclaren PR machine doesn't even seem to be hyping it up at all.

i feel like Massa had so much more fanfare during his second retirement tour....or given the nature of Alonso's career maybe its not all that surprising after all.

Interesting stat because the Williams looked like it was flying on race day…The car looked compliant…The McLaren on the other hand looked like it needed some help...

If I was Fernando i'd stop now. It's absolutely ridiculous to such a brilliant driver flailing around every 2 weeks getting caught up in accidents in areas of the field he should be waay waay in front of.

Agreed. And more importantly it has robbed us of watching one of the greatest drivers of his generation competing at the sharp end.
