couger1981 92 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Looks like Gasly and Hartly are confirmed at Toro Rosso next season leaving without a Kvyat seat. Do you guys think any other team would take him this late in the year? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moderator MBKF1 91 Posted October 26, 2017 Moderator Share Posted October 26, 2017 Possibly Williams, but I doubt he'll get a race seat. Maybe he'll become a team's reserve driver or something like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jiggy 5 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Doesn't the Martini-thing make him too young for Williams? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GoldenColt 1 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 But then again, he's russian. So the alcohol part should be covered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jiggy 5 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 That is true. You're not Russian if you're not an alcoholic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DiRTKiNG808 15 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 That whole Martini sponsor rule seems kind of ridicules. You should consider which driver will do best for the team. Not how old they are, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You should consider which driver will do best for the team. Not how old they are, Ideally yes. But sponsors are only here to make money. They rather someone that can be a good representative of their brand. For an alcohol company, that isn't a 17 year old. Having someone that can sell they're brand is more important to the sponsors than just winning races. Of course there is the argument that having a winning driver sells their brand just as well. The problem with that is the likelihood of Williams (or any mid field team) being a winning team again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For Williams to win again I think the Hybrids would have to leave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DiRTKiNG808 15 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 That would be sick! Kubica in the Williams would destroy Stroll. :D It will be cool to see how next years drivers line up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
couger1981 92 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Hugo Boss to leave F1 as a sponsor for Formula E Hugo Boss is one of those Sponsors that you remember in F1 and now it will be a shame to see the brand go. :(Link Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wynterdust 231 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 W2Optimism? Living up to the name being optimistic that people will like the new logo. Looks like my 5 year old nieces drawing on the fridge only worse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AMSKRR 3 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 He's proud of that logo? Funniest thing I've read all day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mexicola 10 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I think it looks class. It's like something from Wipeout. In a couple of years FEISAR and AG Systems will be juking it out for the WCC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jiggy 5 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Well, it's provocative. So they probably care more about making noise and get people talking than creating an actual good logo. Bitches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
