These are pretty neat... can't upload the actual image, too large. The detail is incredible. Tons of things hiding in each one. I had to download the image from the site just to see it at 100%, and they're huge (4320px x 5400px).

And Latifi is out. Hope that strawberry blonde pit lady stays though. So his seat is up for grabs.

The speculation is over, Williams confirm Nicholas Latifi's exit

Williams have called time with the under-fire Nicholas Latifi, the Canadian set to leave the team at the end of this season.

Highest bidder gets it!

I could see Riccardo jumping in that seat, though he would not be a world champion contender in there.

I think Ricciardo is going to try for Alpine, if they can mend that bridge. But yes, whomever has the Super License along with boatloads of money will fill the Williams seat.

If he and Alonso were on the same team I'd say to also allow them direction communications/commentary.

I could care less either way. It does make for a little more action.

I'm fine with that, as long as they're on tracks that will promote overtaking

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

“Tracks that will promote overtaking”

?

Road America and Laguna Seca aren’t on the calendar. So…….. which TRACK were you thinking of? ?

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Could be an interesting weekend in Singapore (Marina Bay) based on the weather forecast:

Soooooo very good chance he will be ?

Either this weekend or the next race.

Ocon. Ocon, you need to learn to keep your mouth shut at times. Do NOT piss off the Button or his legion of fans.

Jenson Button responds to Esteban Ocon’s assessment on Fernando Alonso

Esteban Ocon feels only Lewis Hamilton has done a better job alongside Fernando Alonso than him, triggering a response from Jenson Button.

Ocon is such a stroke. You'd think sitting a year out and always losing to his teammates would have humbled him. Guess not

 

[Jimy Bilmo]

Ocon looking like slenderman

I still remember when that slow MF'er got lapped by max and then hit him in the next turn. I felt bad that max couldn't beat his ass after the race, 35 years ago I'm sure that's how they'd have handled it. IIRC max pushed him but left it at that.

Too many cameras, too PC of a world

 

[IDAFC21]

I don't dislike Ocon, but he's made some questionable decisions throughout his career I mean he just got back into a regular seat, he should know better

Buttons response is priceless tho
