Re: The Lucas di Grassi Formula E Thread
What a shame for Piquet, he was on his way to a brilliant win, but spun trying to avoid a lapped car. At least this season looks promising for him and his team mate Turvey.

Re: The 2016 Japanese Grand Prix Thread

Re: Who will be the next NEW F1 world champion?
Aside from Rosberg, one of the two RBRs guys will be the next. It is too easy to predict Newey will design another winning car based on his ability to read between the lines of the aero regulation, and both Ricciardo and Verstappen have very long term contracts with the team. Between the two I hope ...
