Completely agree. Grosjeans first stint in F1 also wasn't great. Resulted in mainly crashing. Wait that's quite similar to what he was doing this year.
I think that Nico Hulkenberg would make a great teammate for Kimi. I agree with Hobbs, his move to Sauber is a lateral move at best. He would probably be better off staying at Force India.
Grosjean is the most dangerous man the on the grid. No one else is close, even Maldonado. I hope he gets canned. That said, I wouldn't fire him yet and I'd give him another year. He was faster than Kimi many times. Finding consistency is easier than finding speed, IMO. And he has speed.
Now I'm curious how will Kimi do next year, he has done so well that we forget he has been out of F1 for 2 years. I wonder if he is gonna find some extra speed after that full season.
Especially with the off season training regimen for which Kimi is famous. Kimi's progress curve is a flat line, or slightly falling if he loses interest. Grosjean is fast, gives the Renault a French driver, not to mention other drivers are prone to leave him space in the first lap, lol! I would like to see him get one more year.
Lettuce cost me wine this year. He's had his chance and so has Angry Hikey. Time for KK to get his shot with a big budget team. The man is a racer and it's his Achilles' heel. He isn't geared for tire management because he simply won't lift (Brazil anyone...). What a lovely pairing of drivers it would be.
balanced, it should be noted, by the young lad again outscoring the Schu. +1 to all. Wonderfully stated. BTW, we still need a handle for the new kid at Williams....... Cheers, Ian
I agree with this. Kobayashi crashes a lot as well. Shame Grosjean hasn't calmed down - I don't think the last crash was entirely his fault though (it looked as if Vettel cut across like he did to Webber previously - don't grill me I am a Vettel fan).
Neither had I TBH! Calling him "Kers" will certainly confuse the hell out of any noob's! And before anyone whines, yes it's silly, but all in fun and what the hell else are we gonna do till next year?...... Cheers, Ian
Thinking about it, the electricity connections (oh, bad pun!) are really obvious with Vol... eh, Valterri Bottas. Anyone heard about the Leyden bottle?
Great pun! Unless we do a sticky "Is'm translator", Kers may be a little too out there I feel..... "Volt" is, I think, doable and opens all kinds of possibilities if he goes well. Cheers, Ian
Absolutely. Now it remains to see if he only hooked up with Williams because he's loaded, or if there really is significant potential... I personally doubt we'll see him charging through the field!
Blick's Benoit still speculates that Buemi might get the second Lotus seat. However it doesn't look too promising, Buemi might have better chances getting a Force India seat.
