The hype train is on the move again it seems. Some noise in and around the paddock on a full time drive for Kubica next year.
I really hope Bob will be given the remaining seat at Williams next year. Matter of fact, I'd give Kubica the remaining seat over Ocon and Sirotkin. Ocon only wants a one year deal at Williams, and doesn't want to commit to more. See you later Ocon I say... give Kubica the seat. |

Ocon only wants a one year deal in case of the call from Merc obviously. Still it's nice Williams aren't aiming for money it seems

Kubica wants Williams to make a decision on his position in the next two weeks. Claire has said no decision will be made until December at the earliest.
https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12...lliams-in-2019 Kubica is also looking at other options within F1, and out of F1. |

I’m sorry but Kubica as had his day. Too much young talent out there like Ocon to waste it on a chance

Im hoping all the Kubica looking good for the seat is just media hype.
RK has said he cant wait until December for a Williams decision....Claire Williams has said she wont be deciding any time soon on the second driver, and is in no rush. |

C4 this weekend seemed pretty sure the Ocon deal was done. Either Kubica has a HUGE wedge of dosh to out weigh Mercedes, or Williams are stage managing this for extra publicity. Perish the thought!

Im with you on that.... more news today makes my belief stronger, with Vandoorne getting the Mercedes simulator gig over the much more Mercedes aligned Ocon. Good for Vandoorne, as with his electric series gig and this Merc simulator gig as well he will keep his name in the F1 paddock for the future. A simulator b**ch gig at Ferrari did not do Kvyat any harm did it.
But there has to be a good reason why one so aligned with Mercedes, and who has indicated they would be in the F1 paddock anyway, would be overlooked in favour of Vandoorne. I would put money on Ocon to Williams for at least 2019. |

And it seems like Williams are working hard to make it happen, if it hasn't already been a done deal. So looks like Ocon will stay on the grid after all

if the seat is between Ocon and Kubica i would prefer to see it go to Ocon...but i am still very curious to see what he can do.
maybe thats for the last couple of races this year or a full time ride next year with a different team (although off the top of my head not sure what, if any, seats are still available for next year). |

Forgive me for my obvious lack of knowledge, but at the risk of losing any remaining street cred I may have had, who is beardyman and what has he got to do with anything?

I am 100% with Ted on his comments in the video below.
https://www.skysports.com/watch/vide...g-for-williams C'mon Williams. You have lost many of your Williams F1 Team fans because of your actions in the past few years. Me included. Here's a chance for you to get those fans back onboard. DO IT Williams!! Last edited by F1Guy; 24 Oct 2018 at 11:26. |

How about he joins Williams, they end up sucking in 2019 and then those who carry the torch for Kubica will blame Williams for putting the last nail in the coffin of his F1 career. Or the alternative is that Williams magically rebounds and Kubica romps. What is more likely?

Why would Mercedes want to put 'highly rated' Ocon against 'highly rated' Russell - in the same team against each other?? One of them will lose in a big way. And I'm not talking points either. It would be a death sentence to one of the Mercedes drivers F1 career if they were both to be at Williams next year.

I really don't see why - you talk as if it is unheard of to have two very good drivers in the same team. Stuff and nonsense. One against the other with a battle for supremacy is how it's always been (or ought to be). Throwing Kubica into the mix is the very last option on the long list that stretches from good ideas at the top to the last vestiges of panic and desperation at the bottom (or even over the page).

I think it would be more worthwhile to put Ocon in the car rather than Kubica, no offence to Bobby
