Caesar 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2017 Well, we can see that Kimi will be champion next year, at least from results. Like some members here made conclusions from the test results at the begining of this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Publius Cornelius Scipio 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2017 IT looks as if Sirotkin was a bit naughty https://it.motorsport.com/f1/news/kubica-fa-progressi-ma-sirotkin-mette-in-difficolta-la-williams-984312/ oh dear, Lowe had to say Quote "I'm not going to talk about speed," said Lowe at the end of the second day of testing. "It's a complicated topic." well no it isn't very complicated, similar conditions one guys is faster than the other that's all, all very simple and straightforward https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/133350/williams-refuses-to-discuss-kubica-speed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakae 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2017 That's one way how to get free headlines for Williams little longer. Team looks really "important". After several months of this, pondering various scenarios, they are not ready to make a decision? Brilliant minds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ruslan 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2017 Oh.....I don't think that is what they are doing. I think they are looking for a team leader for the next 2 or 3 years. In so many ways, because of his age, experience, and natural speed, Robert Kubica qualifies. That is probably why he jumped in line ahead of di Resta, Soritkin, Wehrlein, etc. When you have a really inexperienced driver, it helps to have an experienced driver. That is why they kept Massa for a year past his sell date. Stroll is needed. He provides lots of money and he has some good moments as a driver. Still, they need a team leader.

In RBR it was the "experienced" driver in a person of DR who was having his car copy-setup to his junior teammate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
