    Even you must admit, though, that is COMPLETELY different than the grip levels in the rain

    All of this may be true, while at the same time speaking very poorly for the quality of the sport.

    But Williams is in fourth position now...Ferrari is in fifth...AM in seventh. Ferrari has deep pockets and they still struggle.

    Hopefully Yuki will have many hours of RB simulator time before Suzuka? And a phone book to sit on.

    Dragging all that stuff around the world, for 24 races, is insane and unnecessarily costly. We need a spending cap on F1, not the teams. We need sixteen really good races, alternating tracks for the global fanchise. Now we have a bloated schedule where the first third of season isn't racing, but R&D and practice. The sport is now a perfect example of commercial obesity.

    Would think he is in the MaxBull sim and coordinating closely with his new engineer as we speak. He will be under immense pressure to adapt quickly. Other than Mclaren - ''will they be strong and win in Japan" this is the major story of course.

    Honestly, I wouldn’t mind if they’re served alongside some humble pie.

    It should ensure record attendance at Suzuka.

    Its a sell out annually - Yuki or not but I would think # of viewers online/Tele will be at an all time high of course. Its a win for the GP and for Liberty. Soap Opera's normally have a strong following locally lol :)

    Reading the article and his actual statements lends context to the headline and other background information (ie sim time)
