Didn't Alonso say yesterday that he will leave McLaren if they don't win by September? BTW September is also when Vettel has to decide if he stays at Ferrari or goes to Mercedes. I can totally see Alonso returning to Ferrari. In his next life. Ferrari is going to replace Kimi ASAP with a young driver. And McLaren would be smart to do the same thing as well. Alonso has maybe two more years in him, he'll just go to Indycar.

I got that interpretation from Barcelona, where the Merc simply looked like it had more HP than the Ferrari on that main straight.

His Honda engine explodes in F1, his Honda engine explodes in Indy. I think the only way he'll have a Honda engine that would survive is if they make him do a race in a Honda NSX.

Alonso should do some drag racing with a Honda powered car.

You want the man dead or something?
Yeah, it is a time frame problem indeed. Like, three years.
The local Quebec presenters are so fucking insufferable about Lance Stroll...
Listening to them you would almost think that he will come back and win the championship by the end of the year lol.
They even dedicated one of their channel tomorrow (Think like ESPN 3 but on actual TV) to only show onboard from his car all race... Well until he crashes on the first lap anyway and then they'll pick other cars lol.

Don't know if y'all are watching the Indycar race tonight (you should, its mental) but Alonso just called into the NBC broadcast and said (paraphrasing) that doing Indycar full time was on the table for him for next year. Not super surprising.

I wonder if he stays even if McLaren dumps Honda for Merc engines in 2018. They wasted years of his life and they'd be a third constructor at best. He probably could have stayed at Ferrari this whole time for that.
That sounds hilariously awful. I'm glad the US doesn't have a driver on the grid.

So stoked for Lewis Hamilton getting Sennas Helmet.
I hope Hamilton goes on to win the title this year, he's seemed a little out of sorts at times and that Ferrari is fast and Vettel is really on it, will ve one of the closest fights in many years as Merc and Ferrari are just in another league compared to the rest of the field.

Same here kind of, I'm a Vettel guy and I really wish to see Seb winning this so he can move more comfortably into that greatest of his generation legacy. Regardless of who wins, it will be beautiful as both look really locked in.

Lord people you have to watch tonight's Indycar race at Texas at some point, what an extraordinary, wonderful shitshow. Butt-clenching-est racing, several multi-car pileups, tyre manufacturer fuckups, bunch of controversy.

Just caught up with qualifying. I absolutely didn't cry when Lewis received that Senna helmet. Nope, not a tear.
This year has been pretty shitty in terms of on track action, so Canada better deliver it's usual bowl of excitement!

The raft race was fun, but they need to open it for the fans next year and not limit it to the people with the VIP passes. And man, I laughed so much at everyone involved making jokes that McLaren finally won a race this year.
Oh, and the qualifying for the F1 race was exciting as well. ;p Lewis gave it all he had and deserved that pole, gonna be interesting first few corners today.
I don't think McLaren will be able to afford him without the Honda money and generally they will have a hard time rebuilding the team after the Honda shitshow. Gonna probably take at least a few seasons and it's hard to say how it'll all end.

Typical Indycar race then
It was fun when they were racing, but all the chaos between... yeah.

I used to hate Alonso for being a terrible diva, but his realness in the last few years has made me respect him a lot.

Anyone notice that Stroll's grandma looks a lot like Bernie?

Mind the outliers (like Monaco putting Hamilton behind), but this average qualifying difference chart is kinda interesting
Palmer is so shit.

Shame on me for not doing any research. I read about Stroll's grandmother being in the paddock and I figured Williams might have given her this job.

Make that Vandoorne, Palmer and Stroll. Neither of those deserves a F1 cockpit.
I'm hearing that after Australia they switched development over to their 2017 raft.

Rosberg to Ferrari.
Wolff you are drunken.

You need to add up the qualifying difference of 7 teams on that list to beat Palmer's difference to Hülkenberg.

He'd make a great #2 driver, though.

I'm on my way to the Montreal GP right now. I only have general admission tickets. Can anyone recommend a good place to go? Ideally with a video screen. Thanks in advance.

If it is only to keep Hamilton from going there, I could see it happening.

he retired young and is good, i could see him coming back. He's just about to have a second kid or whatever and may want to get out of the house.

Let's go, Kimi! These Formula 1600 cars are loud as fuck. Found a great spot by pole position.
