*puts the mod hat on* pack it in, kids.
steve, seriously, not every single discussion requires you to prove max verstappen is the best thing ever. there's a point where fanboying becomes trolling. don't be that guy. |

so I have to agree with every ridiculous point someone else is trying to make even though it makes no sense at all?

Where did he say you had to agree? Obviously you didn't read it well enough, such as when I explain that by changing teams, you can change your fortunes, etc, and Leclerc is bloody fast, etc Anyway, I'm bored of repeating myself. I've had enough and don't want to look back at this thread and see 3 pages of a needless argument anyway. So I'm going to end this argument right now with a very dramatic full stop. |

so am I, as I already said: the strongest drivers from last years championship have left. the numbers 1,2,3,4,5 and 7 have all left the championship, so how could it be a stronger field? it clearly is'nt since the numers 6 and 8 from last years championship are now front runners. but you don't seems to want to read these facts. |

Anyway back to F1...
Wonder if Ricciardo will make himself available and if so who would pick him up? |

So Lewis has finally done another deal with Mercedes for three years.

Please tell me what Kvyat's doing wrong, how Verstappen deserves RBR over Sainz, and how any RBR junior is proving themselves to be F1 worthy!

Isn't there a rumour of Bottas moving? A suggestion of either Mercedes or Ferrari in 2016? Assuming a seat becomes available. I suspect that Kimi must be looking over his shoulder a bit.

With Haas and potentially another team coming in next year I would expect a couple of drivers who missed out this year to get back in e.g Vergne and Gutierrez. Although I'd rather have Vergne than Gutierrez.
Whether drivers switch around mainly depends on what Ferrari will do with Raikkonen. If they choose to replace him there's plenty of talented drivers to choose from: Bottas, Ricciardo if he gets fed up at Red Bull, Hulkenberg maybe. I don't know everybody else but I would love to see Magnussen and Vandoorne in F1 next year. Ron Dennis especially seems confident about Magnussen being on the grid next year. Maybe McLaren could loan them both to Manor or Force India? Same with Marciello as I think Ferrari could put him at Sauber next year. As for Haas I think Rossi(American driver who is doing a decent job this season in GP2) and Vergne(Ferrari connection) Williams lineup next year would mainly depend on what Ferrari do with Raikkonen. |

Magnussen and Vandoorne are far too good for F1 to miss. And McLaren's line up is getting on so a bit of experience for Magnussen and Vamdoorne before they take the reigns would be useful

Vergne to Haas should be a no-brainer with his Ferrari links. I still find it odd that he's off the grid this year - to be narrowly edged by Ricciardo then narrowly edge Kvyat last season, surely deserved more than being on the scrapheap while those two get to sit on the top table. Gutierrez is nowhere near his level imo.
Good to see Haas aren't going down the hollywood route of bringing Danica Patrick too. They seem to have their heads screwed on in terms of preparation for their debut, can't see them being another HRT or Marussia at the moment. |

JEV destroyed Kvyat even with a sizeable weight disadvantage, no? I reckon Gutierrez's connections and the fact he's North American will make him more likely than JEV for the seat. Rossi alongside. |

I think Kvyat probably showed enough in qualifying to suggest he was quicker over a lap particularly at the end of the season, that's always been JEV's issue but he came alive on racedays, right back to 2012 where he outscored Ricciardo 16-10. Gutierrez has one seventh place at Suzuka, in a sea of being pretty useless. If Haas are serious then they'd choose him over Gutierrez every time wouldn't they?

You would have to be stupid not to have them in F1. If they have experience at a smaller team next season, they will be more prepared for when they are called upon by Mclaren.

Everyone at Haas seems to know what they're doing which is great because certainly at HRT they didn't know what they were doing so it's good to see. They should arrive at Australia 2016 fully prepared to race. |
