    I can not believe Ferrari were so stupid to not pit Vettel during that 3-4 lap period where he could have pitted and come out comfortably in front of Bottas.

    Chequered flag..
    Not exactly the result Ferrari were wanting but 2nd-3rd is still better than a kick in the arse..
    Poor pitstops for both Kimi and Vettel didn’t help either..

    Nope. They did that 2-3 laps too late.

    There was a period where Seb was 23-25 sec in front of Bottas and they just left him out there.

    Idiotic.

    Yep, Ferrari may not have gotten the victory last night anyway, but they could have made it a little easier on themselves.

    Those pit stops............urrgghh.

    Ferrari are dropping the ball, again.

    Scuderia Ferrari (the collective team) is truly determined to throw this drivers and constructors championship away !!!!

    The plot thickens, Altavilla who was in the upper group of senior management was overlooked for the CEO job, spat the dummy and resigned the next day.

    Now with talk of Hyundai and Geely both making offers to buy FCA they want him back?

    Lucky for us Ferrari will stay mostly Italian owned

    Poor Sergio, never got his chance to rebirth Lancia, was on the to do list......

    Yeah, I didn't expect him to go anywhere. But hey, may as well go drive for a team that doesn't break down every 5 minutes. :D

    At least he won't have to put up with the RB bastards treating him as second class driver like they did with Webber !!!

    That use to give me the ****s

    He's a better driver than Max but they kiss the Dutchman's arse and let him get away with crap

    That move spells the end of Riccardo's shining career.
    Unless Renault are the number one or even number two team next year it's a long way back to a top team from there in the future.
    Too many other young guns vying for those spots.

    He had no future at RBR with Max put in place.

    Possibly but I feel he has less of a future gunning for a World Championship with Renault.
    Even if their engine is fast next year they don't have the team personnel to challenge for a W.C for a least two years.

    I hope they have the budget to secure decent chassis and aero boffins to supplement their engine department
    It will be interesting to see how much of Daniel’s late braking manoeuvres he is able to repeat at Renault and how much of it was reliant on the chassis that RBR gave him to work with.
    He is so exciting to watch as he storms through the pack.

    Sales of Daniel Riccardo merchandise in Australia will be much less than usual next year. Australian's have even less of an affiliation with Renault then they do with Red Bull (which is not a lot compared to team favourites Ferrari, Mercedes or even McLaren).
