they were just talking about that renault protest on the Sky/ F1 broadcast.

i reckon Hulk will get taken out on the first lap.

I think Perez may have screwed himself out of a drive next year.  Hopefully I'm wrong.

The F1 insiders are saying that Racing Point was going to announce Vettel for 2021 last weekend before Perez tested positive. Sounds like the deal is already done to have Vettel there and we all know Stroll will never lose his seat at daddy's team.

talk about bad optics! (had they announced Vettel as Perez’s replacement I mean).

My guess: Perez out but lands at Haas. I cannot see them keeping both of their dudes next year. And I also can’t really see either of them landing someplace else. Maybe Kevin to Alfa in Kimi’s seat. I could also see Kimi wanting to stick around for one crack at the new cars in 2022.

Hulk has said he’s been talking to people, but I just don’t see him fitting in anywhere. I guess if Perez doesn’t go to Haas, they could use Hulk as their more experienced driver.

Odds on pushing Albon back down to Alpha for 1-2 years and putting somebody like Perez, Hulk, etc. as an experienced but clearly #2 driver to Max? Or would that effectively destroy Albon?

I dunno....lots of idle brainstorming. But it beats working on spreadsheets on a friday morning.

some FB comment said Hulk needs to be driver of the day regardless what happens.  I support that.  Hell, had that been organized last week, it would have been glorious

I rather be working on a spreadsheet right now than on my couch, but that's life in 2020

That sucks. Stroll is showing better pace this year, but I still don't think he's better than Perez.  Besides, is Stroll going to cry to daddy once Vettel takes control?

Good point....probably a bit insensitive with what many are going through

will make for an interesting power struggle/dynamic for sure.  let’s hope Lance is mature enough to know despite the last name, he needs to be #2.

Either works for me.
