Eddie is not on very much these days, like him or not he always has his finger on the pulse never sits on the fence and asks questions others are afraid too. Poor old Daniel will get a multi million pound payout for underachievement probably more than Lando's contract. You have to feel a bit sorry for Alpine having your chips pissed on twice.......

I was surprised at the Alonso move, I thought he had done well with the car, he can hardly have aspirations of a championship can he..

He hasn't had a great record of making good car changes. Hopefully this one will work out better for him.

I guess they are buying his development and technical experience to help them move forwards with all the rules changes, as you say quite a surprise on first thoughts.

I did like listen to the interviews in the paddock when Eddie would drop a bomb. I would love to see a joint interview with the "say-it-like-it-is" club one day.


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I think it was Frank Williams once said of Nigel Mansel he would be missed as a driver not as a man and the same will be said of Alonso. Caused grief everywhere he went there will be a deffo bust up with Mr Stroll at some point.....

I totally understand the old boy skills he has can bring to the team, not exactly charm personified is he.

I'll never forget Michael Schumachers move to a totally losing Ferrari team, he picked them up and led them through his expertise in translating the car into development and winning.
I was never a fan of his but I did respect him for his immense skills.

Indeed, and it took Todt, Brawn, Byrne from '96 to 2000 win a championship. Is Stroll that patient?

Given how deep AM (road and track sides) are in funding I believe the decision my not be his either.

Hooray, it all starts again this weekend but what will be the outcome of the musical chairs that Seb has set in motion by merely saying he was going to retire. I see that some of the track at Spa has been re profiled and some new tarmac laid, that might make things a bit interesting but for now I am dreaming of a Ferrai 1,2.


Here for a good time not a long time!!

And will the floor reg changes affect Red Bull's relative pace?
