I'd like to see Williams letting go of Massa, they making an announcement at Monza.
Think Button would do well there, & put
stoffel vandoorne in the McLaren?
I think Button needs his pension cashed in. He really has nothing left to offer F1. Even in a Mercedes he wouldn't light up the tour. His championship win was a fluke in my opinion anyway!I'd like to see Williams letting go of Massa, they making an announcement at Monza.

Hamilton alongside Alonso in a McLaren would prove more interesting, surely...
Gotta do something to make F1 interesting.
How about Vettel? Alonso? I rate them both above our favorite Ozzy.
Ricciardo is the only driver I'd put money on to beat Lewis in the same car.

@45bvtc are you still awake??
I agree John the car makes a lot of difference to where you end up as most of the lap is flat out on the accelerator. The driver makes the difference in the corners and that's where Hamilton made the difference in qualifying. Very interesting article on SKY F1 with Hamilton explaining to David Valsechi how he managed to make the difference on his fastest lap.
Wehrlein did really well and qualified well ahead of where they usually do aided I am sure by the Mercedes donkey in the back of the Manor.
So if it is all car, is Rosberg getting a lower performance car . . . . .
I agree totally. It's such a stupid rule to start with, as with All things FIA, the rules are convoluted, inconsistent and in some cases redundant. They don't achieve anything near what their intended aim is.it doesn't really reduce costs if you can do a bulk engine replacement in one weekend - i can see teams turning upto race 1, changing the engine 15 times all taking a million grid place penalties and then racing without worry of reliability like the old days - stupid loophole, and makes Lewis look like a cheat
Yes, this is why they changed it this year to stop it from happening, and this has created this loophole instead for teams to take a 55 grid penalty in one race. If you read the F1 news, Lewis and the team thought about taking the penalty hit by creating a third reprimand for the same race, so he gets a reset, but they didn't do it, as there was another rule that they'd have to break to do it!i'm sure in the first year when mclaren blew up 4/5 engines every weekend, their penalties carried over? so Lewis should have started from the back for 3 GPs
I do wonder how far up the road the Mercs would finish, if the races was not about preserving tyres and fuel? But they would still have to turn the power down to reduce engine wear, once they are in the lead!
