Probably right, but then Red Bull is likely on a downturn now too (Renault engine plus losing a ton of their key staff, especially Newey and Prodromou). Why not give it a blast... stranger things have worked out in the past.

Fernando, Button, Mag and Vandoorne are all in contention and it will probably be Fernando and Button with Vandoorne as the third driver. As much as I like KMag he has struggled to make any kind of impact this season

And also a respected Italian reporter is saying that Ferrari are talking to Bottas for 2016.
Well that's what Ron says. The question is, will Ron still be in charge after this season ends?
No gunna use them in the race, primes are the better race tire

Depends on the track and the corner. They have briefings before the race to tell them if or which corners they will be penalised for. Dont think there was any message about track run off for this race.

Mclaren doing right by Jenson, like it has all the other world champs that left them in acrimony.
I hope he has a cracking weekend, Ive always liked Jens, I dont give a damn what his detractors say. He's one of the finest raceday drivers on the grid.

Not a fan of the track but I love the way the cars look during sunset.

Well we might find out the next week, considering all the big dogs are in Abu Dhabi for the race, so I'm sure a lot of discussions are taking place.
But at least Brundle did a good job trying to get out an answer from Ron.

Hmmm, Mclaren with pace? Hope Jens gets that third podium slot or a race win if the Mercs have each other off.
When Renault forgot how to build a functional engine.

Mass exodus of engineers.
Or did you forget they didn't pay Raikonnen in time last year?
Not only that, fp3 was fairly useless for judging tire deg on a hot lap as the track and air temps are completely different to now.
That car is shit, the engine isn't holding it back at all.

Oh shit, Ross Brawn back to Ferrari? Woah, if true.
Not being able to finish races for the first half season due to the power unit certainly killed any ambitions to improve their current car instead of focusing on next year.

That Caterham guy is completely out of his league.
So Bernie and CVC seem more sympathetic to the smaller teams, at least for now. Next week I'm sure he will be back to his normal self.

It surely feels like Silly Season in F1 was never over this year. So much drama and speculation.
Certainly true but the car was shit to begin with. The engine isn't the limiter when the order ly Renault team to do worse than them is Caterham.
Nice to see Lewis do it on one lap. Means he has a bit more life in the first stint tomorrow.
Lol Mclaren. Ron sure fixed all those problems.

why is caterham still collecting money if they made it to abu dhabi?
https://www.crowdcube.com/caterham/
didnt all their employees already get axed in england? seems to me that that crowfunding money will end up in the pockets of some investors....

Damn this track sure is boring. F1 really needs to go back to ending on Brazil. That's always something special.
Yeah I mentioned this earlier too. It seems that they artificially extended the crowdfunding after it failed to reach the goal. I really hope it fails again, so they don't get any of this money. It's really sketchy. There's been mention that Crowdcube is connected to some of the administrators or something, so maybe they want the fees as well.

Porsche has already confirmed their 2 car lineup I believe.
So unless Porsche runs a 3rd car, no space for Button.
