    Shows that he is driven by challenges, and the Honda experience hasn’t left him bored with racing....... 2nd fastest at your first try, not bad at all. The older he gets, the more we appreciate the guy (unless you’re Pedro, and I can see his point even if I can turn a blind eye)

    I might risk the ire of those supporting Kimi but I would have been pleased to see FA replace him at Ferrari for next year. Managing him is no worse than any other driver. I think Ferrari need his drive...

    Hartley had 2018 contract for weeks


    Brendon Hartley says he has known for "several weeks" that he will be driving for Toro Rosso next year.

    Earlier, Red Bull, Toro Rosso and the New Zealander insisted they did not know who would drive for the energy drink company's junior team in 2018.

    Hartley and Pierre Gasly have now been confirmed.

    "To be honest, I knew about the contract for several weeks," Hartley told Russia's Championat.

    "For me it was not a surprise."

    Hartley has rounded out 2017 with a busy calendar as he juggled his new F1 duties with his other job with Porsche in the world endurance championship.

    As for 2018, however, "I doubt that I can participate in two series at the same time.

    "I don't know all the details of my contract for next season, but sometimes it's not easy to change from one series to another. These are different cars that require different settings and driving style.

    "But it was the end of this season, so it was fine," he added.

    Wow, are 7 tire variances really necessary? Seems a bit overkill. And surely this can't be helping to reduce costs for teams!

    Pretty sure the teams don't pay Pirelli anything, though i agree that seven compounds seems a bit much.

    Gotcha..but still..7 tire types cost $$ and that cost just adds to the overall cost of the sport..which gets passed down to higher track fees, ticket fees, etc. You get the picture. Of course, the stupid hybrid powerplants are mega$$ as well and it all just feeds the hungry greedy beast..

    Totally unnecessary since this year they drove zero laps on the hard. And now a super hard is coming? Unbelievable and utterly pointless

    Just more bloat. F1 needs to get back to the basics where the driver is at least 50% of the equation. Will never happen though...

    Is Di Resta still in with a chance at Williams, or is it all between Kubica and Werewolf?

    A bit off topic, but Brazil will sponsor Alonso & co. next year.

    Petrobras to sponsor McLaren in 2018?
    [​IMG]


    McLaren looks set to secure a significant new sponsor for 2018.

    Earlier this year, we reported that with Petrobras leaving Williams, the Brazilian oil multinational could switch to McLaren for 2018.

    And now in Abu Dhabi, the next rumours unfolded.

    It was announced that McLaren protege Lando Norris is joining the Formula 2 team Carlin for 2018, where his teammate will be the Petrobras-linked Brazilian Sergio Sette Camara.

    Brazilian TV reported from Abu Dhabi that Sette Camara, Petrobras and McLaren are all being linked with a F1 deal for 2018.

    Also in Abu Dhabi, McLaren executive Zak Brown hinted that the British team is working on some key deals.

    "Commercially we've had a good Q4," he said.

    "We have signed two sponsors that we haven't announced yet so I think people can expect to see more great brands on the McLaren race car next year."
