FORMULA 1 2018 JOHNNIE WALKER BELGIAN GRAND PRIX: QUALIFYING *** SPOILERS ***

Lets hope this accelerates his inclusion to that team!

 

There may be a place at Williams also...

 

Ocon is supposed to be sponsored by Mercedes, just like Wehrlein was.

There is a remote chance they could put him at Williams, when Stroll Jr moves out.

Not an ideal situation.

 

More ideal that no drive.

 

"Not an ideal situation." - That's the understatement of the century.

 

What surprised me in this qualifs is that the Red Bulls haven't taken advantage of the rain to be nearer the front as I expected.

 

Ocon to Williams? Stroll will have to buy his way out of the Williams contract, so Ocon would be free and a huge step up for them if Stroll does leave.

 

FWIW: I just heard on Belgian television - from Gaëtan Vigneron (RTBF), whose source is a "close Spanish friend" - that Ocon was in Woking very recently for a "seat fitting" session.

 

Yep, but the Williams isn't on a par with a Force India.

 

Downforce!
The mercedes was quicker on sector 2, which is full of chicanes and requires good downforce.. therefore on wet conditions they'll have the advantage

 

Ocon at McLaren? Poor chap, they are at the bottom of the pile ...


Right now, I don't know what's worse: driving a Williams or a McLaren !!!!

 

Don't know about next season, but he better be strapped in well here!

 

Heating of tyres, a specific engine map which make the power come in very predictably, working together with the MGU H. The possibilities are endless.

Toto said it himself after hungary. It's a bold claim from a team principal.

 

Constant Vettel bashing. Getting very tiresome. Go on the Mercedes forum you might prefer it there.

As for Vettel starting his lap later and therefore ''should be faster'', could be any number of things, bit more rain could've come, track dried too much and the tyre becoming slower again.

 

SKY said the aero package worked against them in the rain.....

 

Vettel has 4 titles, not by accident. Simple as that. His development is exceptional.

A lot can happen in 30 seconds.

 

Not possible... we just learned from the specialists above that in the rain it has nothing to do with the car, only the drivers matter

They also pitted early...didn't put a run in due to lack of fuel...strange for Red bull to mess up strategically!

 

Damn we got schooled again.

If only Ferrari was blessed with the blessed one right?

 

So, should a team apologise because it has a better car ?

 

How did you arrive at that conclusion? I'm just providing a factual argument to someone who has an extreme hatred for Vettel. Well done to Mercedes for having build a car/engine mode that works so well in the wet, nothing wrong with that.

What's going on here?

 

Your posts are virulent, and your comments unrealistic, I must say.

What's the point suggesting that Vettel should be replaced by Alonso or Hamilton ?

Unless you have no idea how the drivers' market works, the availability, and the contracts that ties up drivers to team and vice versa, you wouldn't make such "childish" suggestions.

Vettel is the best driver Ferrari can get hold now; he isn't faultless, but he is fast and steady, most of the time. That is the reality.

All the other strong drivers are Under contract.

 

True Peter. How silly of me LOL

 

Stuff that needs to stop happening. The mistakes just continue to happen. How do you improperly fuel Kimi for Q3? Elementary stuff!

Great job developing the car, but winning a WDC/WCC demands more. Stuff like the above video just needs to stop. I don’t know what happened, but it obviously wasn’t good.
