So Force India or whatever they are called now ran an as yet unconfirmed for 2019 driver in the Abu Dhabi post season tests... by the name of Lance Stroll. And he lapped quicker than Verstappen and Perez.
Of course we dont know what tyres or engine modes were in use. |

It would be funny if Mr Stroll comes out and smacks his more fancied teammate next year

Dan Ticktum not doing F2 next year, and doing some winter series in order to reach the super licence points threshold - suddenly Kvyat looking less secure?

Perhaps so. Although I think the main reason is that, while he has enough to do testing, he wouldn’t be able to be a reserve driver if the need arose.

Gasly and Leclerc were also faster than their team mates - interesting times.

Not surprised, Bottas had a tough season at the beginning, then seemed to lose heart. 2019 make or break season for him

Albon confirmed at Torro Rosso with Kyvat for next year, or have I missed something?

Albon is off to a good start, stabbing Nissan in the back shows he has the perfect moral attitude for F1

It's been a long time since 'moral attitude' had any relevance at all in motor racing.

With Stroll's confirmation at Racing point FI we now have a full line up of next years drivers before December (just!).
http://classic.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/140445 Next year will see the biggest amount of driver changes for some time with just 2 teams retaining their 2018 line up and 4 teams with completely new drivers and the other 4 replacing one of theirs. It will be interesting to see who has made the right moves in a few months time. |

Still don't think I've heard a reason why FI left it so long to announce Stroll

I was gonna ask who the Russian was... Kvyat's return still baffles me.

1 French and 1 Swiss. Just because Bigjohn has a French licence doesn’t make him French!
