Judging by Honda's public thanks to Hartley it would suggest that he was a significant factor in developing the cross cultural co-operation that alowed so much engineering progress during the year. Having a driver who has the right background, nouse and sympatico can be as important as having a hotshoe in the position Torro Rosso was in developing next years RBR power unit programme. Can you imagine the disaster Max could have visited on the co-operation if he had still been in an STR seat? |

Do you think that Max would have pushed the Honda engineers?

its been pretty cool to see drivers in their 2019 seats and in some cases new team gear for the test.
no driver changes during the season but Stroll in at RPFI, Kimi, at Sauber, Leclerc in Ferrari, Sainz and Norris in a Mclaren, i think Kvyat today for STR (is he confirmed for 2019?), RK and Russell at Williams...plus a few new guns getting some testing names testing at Renault and Haas. really something they should be broadcasting but maybe they do on F1TV. |

I initially thought maybe Lewis is lining up for his movie role once he retires. Obviously he works well with Will and then there is the next MIB sequel coming up so Lewis may have the role as his partner (BMIB - alluded to in their conversation.)
But obviously Will can drive well and no one realised until the instagram post. Then I thought about it and it was obvious to me that Will had done so well on the day that he could actually be lining up a role as Valterri's replacement at the end of his contract and become Lewis' wingman..... |

Hartley/Gasly pairing was 13/17 on the teammate stats on this site, second only to Sirotkin/Stroll (16/14). Will Kyat find himself on the margin again if he doesnt swamp is erstwhile teammate Albon and is Albon there because he is Thai, (the originator of Red Bull- 'Krating Daeng'. The basic formula in Red Bull is still produced in Thailand and Red Bull is 51% owned by the Thai family....) Money talks..... Red Bull gives you 'wings'.....
