Headlines away from the track: F1

[IndyAndy]

Still whining & crying...

Red Bull: "We're serious!"



The end of the line?...

Button to hang up his helmet?

 

[forty_three]

I've seen Button's name tied to the new bastardization of Top Gear as a presenter. I was actually kind of surprised he stayed in this year. Perhaps McLaren was too. I bet they expected it to be Alonso and Magnussen.

And Red Bull threatens to quit over anything. "Red Bull threatens to quit F1 if the catering tent stops serving Tater Tots"

They will get an engine next year and the year after. Then Audi swoops in. Relax, Dieter.

 

[Retroram52]

Old drivers become crew chiefs and engineers for F-1 race teams. I wonder where Button will end up?

 

[forty_three]

Nice.


Seb notices the pit board for the team photo after Singapore only has his name on it. e sends someone to add Kimi to it before the pic.

Hard not to like a teammate like that.

 

[IndyAndy]

^^^ Classy.

Lauda confirms Mercedes to supply Manor with engines for 2016 - Read Motorsport

Manor will get Merc engines next year. AMG has said they want a junior team to develop drivers, so this might be the first step that way.

I would imagine that the team will be Rossi with Paschal Werlein, then. Will be interesting to see what they can do with MAMG support.

Sauber & Force India are taking Bernie to... court?

EU to investigate F1 revenue sharing practices

 

[Retroram52]

Well, well, wonders never cease Indy!

 

[IndyAndy]

It seems that Button is not done with F1 just yet...

Button will be at McLaren for 2016

I like Button & all, but I want to see Magnussen get his chance at the big time too.

FIA Pretty much used to stand for Ferrari International Assistance. I think Sauber and Force India have a case.

Button will be at McLaren for 2016

I like Button & all, but I want to see Magnussen get his chance at the big time too.

I am honestly surprised by this. Wonder if K-mag will get a seat at Haas, or if the rumours that Alonso is going to bow out are true. Magnussen really should get a true shot soon.

 

[IndyAndy]

Frankly, this one pisses me off:

McLaren has 'no space' for Magnussen

Happy Birthday from to gang at McLaren, Kevin.

Let's hope that he lands somewhere good.

The rumors are that Red Bull is getting Honda engines. And other rumors are that Kvyat has lost his backing, so he may be out.

Magnussen would be the ideal driver for RBR. A year listening in on Honda development and one hell of a driver.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

If Kvyat is out at RBR, you have to imagine that Mad Max would be his replacement. I could see K-Mag to STR though. Honda having a stable of McLaren, RBR and STR would be impressive.

 

[Retroram52]

Three races left to this season. Mexico, Brazil, and Abu Dhabi. Should be interesting enough.

 

[IndyAndy]

Gene Haas: Confident, or merely cocky?

Haas F1 car will be 'better' than Ferrari's

 

[IndyAndy]

After long search for other options, Red Bull will stick with Renault engines:

Is the future of the USGP at Austin suddenly in doubt?:

[Retroram52]

I think "American-based" engine manufacturers like Chevrolet and Dodge should get into F-1 as engine providers. I know it won't happen but Dodge builds engines for several smaller open-wheel series and Chevrolet is in the IndyCar series already. Like I stated, I doubt if it'll ever happen but it's fun to wish!

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Too clunky. Never gonna happen.

 

[Retroram52]

That's what I stated Hank.
