2014 Formula 1 Thread

yea 2016. sorry worded poorly. i meant they will need to get drivers next year (for 2016).

hopefully they use rossi for something, at least reserve driver.

Maybe have Rossi be a test driver for Ferrari next year before having him at Haas for 2016. I think your on to something with Bianchi going to Ferrari to replace Kimi for 2016. When kimi crashed at Silverstone, Bianchi filled in for the test during the week after the race.

drivers that should be replaced next year:

sutil, gutierrez, MALDONADO.

agreed. At least romain deserves another shot. He really started to get solid results at the end of last year. The car has been crap since day one.

So any thoughts on toro Roso 2nd seat? Does Verne get another shot?

i doubt it. i think verge is out at TR. marko is done with him. likely TR will take on another young rookie in Sainz Jr.
maybe sauber can dump sutil and take vergne... unless sauber goes belly up.

If anyone is watching FP3, lol at sauber almost biting the wall with both cars.

I'll call my shot and say that's where Jenson will end up.

Hamilton just went off and crashed after turn 1 going into turn 2. Looks like he went wide and the curb caught him. Saying that the wind is giving drivers a hard time.

Wow crazy news....I am excited and partly sad to now be a Ferrari fan. Hopefully ferrari can find a way to plant the rear of their car...and I'm sure they will have a world championship.

no vettel...no newey...who is next?

I think honda will have a good shot. Remember they have been producing engines for indy...so this isn't completely new to them.

Indy has also had turbo powered engines in the last 3 years as well.

maybe horner leaves? idk, I wonder where they will be finishing next year. Will they be a contender or will they be somewhat like Force India or McLaren this year.

IMO on Alonso with Ferrari. He really had 2 chances to get the championship at Ferrari. 2010 probably was his best shot with leading the championship going into the last race. 2012 probably would've won the championship if he didn't get wrecked in the first corner of the race at Spa and at Japan. The 3 other years (2011,2013,2014) the car hasn't been close to Red Bull and now Mercedes.

I believe indy also has something similar to ers and push to pass.

I see red bull swapping spots with Ferrari or going the way of Williams in the future, but they will be relevant for at least a few years.

I believe If ferrari can give vettel the predictability and rear down force he likes while fixing their power issues...he will undoubtedly win another string of titles.

Indy does have a push to pass button, but they can use it only a certain amount of times. I think they only use them for road courses and they get like 20 chances to use it for the race, unlike F1 where its once a lap.

Hopefully Ricciardo is still in a decent ride for next year.

kinda like some other German did like 15 years ago? forgot his name, think it starts with a S or something

if horner is leaving RBR soon i hope he is going to F1 management.
