Agree -- looks like we're close to needing an update. I read my old predictions. Suprisingly, I predicted Rio Haryanto would be replaced after 12 races (and he was!) and Wehrlein would out-qualify him 12-0 (it was 8-4). I am most proud of that bit of silliness.

Gutted mate.
Gone almost all season ahead, and then Brazil happened

Yeah, we'll get 'em next year! In all fairness, Nasr's drive was absolutely outstanding. Definitely the best drive of anyone that weekend, Verstappen included. Both our boys put in fantastic efforts too that weekend, especially Esteban. A few more laps and I'm sure we would have had Felipe.

 

[Chris]

especially Esteban.

I'm still astonished he didn't hit Kimi head on... That's the first time in all my time watching F1 that I've really ever had to look away from my tv. It was that scary.

 

[Milos]

What will be the biggest controversy of the season? Ricciardo loses the victory to Hamilton due to a bad pitstop by his pitcrew.

that's a pretty subjective one actually. There were a lot of controversial things this season. Elimination quali, Spain collision, Kvyat getting demoted, Austria collision, Max moving under braking, Max going mental in Spa, Hamilton getting bad starts and engine failures and ignoring team orders in Abu Dhabi. And of course the one you mentioned.

 

[Erwin Greven]

I think the Spain collision and Max' defense tactics were the most controversial subjects this year.
