Mercedes(old ?) news:
Bottas out- Russel in
Yup. Hamilton is going to get blind sided by Russel. He'll be the #2 driver at Mercedes. He's 37 years old and mistake prone. While Russel is one of the top prospects in the world, entering his prime.
But if you ask all the Merc fans , somehow they think Russel is just gonna slide in behind 37 yo Hamilton and be a #2. That won't happen. If Russel gets the #2 treatment , he will leave. This is gonna be the biggest clusterfuck since Hamilton Alonso.
Red Bull would buy out Perezes contract in 5 minutes if they could get Russel.

Skidmark is just a fucking idiot. Unfortunately this is one of many threads he feels qualified to comment on because he has Google, even though he knows absolutely fuck all about the subject matter.
Well it's not really, it's just a new set of specs that they've had a couple of years to work on it. Some put more effort (and money) into it than others.
Bahrain will be more interesting in mid-March: They will have some timing and TV coverage.Pre-season testing in Barcelona this week.
I see they've binned the rule about starting the race on the tyres you set the fastest Q2 lap on.
I think most teams would agree with this.
There's a nice write up here about the design differences we discussed a few posts back.
