What the actual fuck? Why would Seb do that? I get he's still family with his old squad but to leave Ferrari? I dunno I still get the itching feeling Ferrari might pull something out of it's ass.
As for the Gasly-Albon affair, I'm pretty sure everyone saw it coming a mile away. Although I was surprised Kyvat would be staying in Toro Rosso. Maybe they're letting Albon test the waters at RB. Fuck I think Kyvat back at red bull would be great.
Also glad Ocon's coming back with Renault. Although the dynamic between Hulk and Kmag is gonna be interesting if Hulk is really replacing Grosjean.
And can we appreciate the fact that Lando and Chili Boi is the new Dany and Max? Fuck they are so goddamn funny and unlike the old power couple they actually don't get at each other's throats on the track.
I think the story I read is he feels he won't win the WDC with them, possible issues with how the team is run and the potential that RB may pass Ferrari and they will fall to 3rd best next year. I mean yeah, with Ferrari you never know, but they seem to be not quite there and blow it, whether as a result of driving mistakes or bad strategy. But yeah, it would be very odd for him to return to RB with Max as a teammate, but who the fuck knows, weirder shit has happened for sure in F1!
I agree, I would have loved to see Daniil go back instead, but I think they are looking at it as Albon of three hasn't had a chance, so see what he can do, then in 2020 pick between the three of them as they will have each driven the RB in races and they can choose who they think can be the closest to Max as they need a "Bottas" if they want to challenge for WCC in 2020.
Supposedly neither have a great difficulty with the other re KMag and Hulk, They aren't friends off track, but both had said they could do ok as teammates, we shall see if that comes to pass tho and Grosjean is out! Ocon and Ric will be interesting if Ocon is as good as many say.
Yeah, if McLaren can up the ante next year, they have a solid duo that could take them places if they have the car to do it. Looking like a lock for best of the rest, be nice if they could close up to top 3 next year, but with that crappy Renault in the back, that's their achilles heel. Wonder what they would have been doing if they had the Honda in the back this year. Maybe a podium or two would have come their way, given way Max was making use of it.
Honda could come quite good with the Spec 4 and whatever they build for 2020, which returns me to why Vettel going back to RB could still happen, if the stories about the probs at Ferrari are true, as RB may be a better bet next year if Ferrari don't close out mightily. Apparently Vettel has a break in his contract if he doesn't finish Top 3 in WDC, which he isn't at the moment. Hmmmmm.
