    Gasly is just average, if he was any good he would have taken Kvyat's place ages ago.

    Let's not forget Massa. He tried to retire leave of his own free will but got dragged back when Bottas got sold to Merc. Let him go with dignity!

    And obviously, he's only 4th on the leavers candidate list behind Palmer, Kvyat and Stroll.

    Well, the obvious choice is Palmer but I say Kimi

    Ferrari can do better if they want to win the Constructors Championship

    You guys must be too young to remember.
    Or too old to remember.

    Ide caused a lot of problems, he was so slow he would be lapped 6 or 7 laps into the race.
    The FIA pulled his superlicense after just a few races.

    Marcus Ericsson, time to move on and (Tetra) pack his bags.

    oh! Kimi and Alonso are 2 drivers I hope to stay in F1 forever. Those 2 have the most entertainment effects.

    A toss-up between Hamilton and Kvyat. So looks like Kvyat wins this competition;).

    David coulthard, have you seen his car crash grid walks? Jeez, the guy is a good commentator but I watched him and Eddie Jordan wandering about a few weeks ago and their style is aggressive and sneaky to say the least, brundle at least talks on the drivers level, coulthard comes across like he's annoyed they are doing his old job ! He can take Eddie with him and drop him in the Thames, he is an annoying little leprechaun, but not a driver, so he has to go 'baggage class', small enough so he'd fit in the overhead the dipstick

    Most of them deserve to be there.

    There are a few paying drivers of course.

    The one that's taking up the most space with the least expectations is Ericson.

    Also-ran...
    I used to be a Kvyat fan.
    No more.


    All the comments about Hamilton say more about the poster than the driver.

    In that case I'm in. Pull Elton out of the car and give him a biatch slap.

    Ericsson is the first one that should go. He has been around for a long time and showed to be completely out of talent.

    Palmer is doing bad either but is a GP2 champion at least, perhaps with a bit more time could show some progress (not defending him at all but Ericsson is much worse).

    All 3 prime contenders put in strong performances in Britain.

    - Palmer is so terrible, his car quit on him before lights out rather than face the embarrassment of finishing plum last at Palmers home gp

    - Kvyat kamikazeed his way to a team dnf thereby strengthening his claims to the 'first reject' crown

    - Stroll got utterly schooled by a retired pensioner Massa. A driver who himself has a thread which is literally hundreds of pages long full of evidence explaining why he sucks.

    It's still a three horse race! What a contest!

    Hamilton is fine. Talented driver on a talented team. One of the greats.

    If he raced for Ferrari you all would kissing his ass and singing his praises! :)

    No I wouldn't, I'd be refraining from F1 until we came to our senses and sacked the pillock. I would never support the fool even if he brought us a dozen championships, he would be an insult to everything Ferrari stand for, and the memories of the proper great drivers that have driven for them. Ferrari is about ferrari, it isn't about elton, he can **** off anywhere he likes, but not to ferrari
