Really not bothered if SLH retires, he is with doubt a brilliant driver, one of the all time greats but I cannot warm to the guy, it’s the hard done by, whinging Brit with a massive chip on his shoulder attitude that puts me off.

Amen to that! LH was in the right spot at the right time to bank his championships. He got the best out of a far superior car than the competition. That is his job. The greatest ever? No way. Jimmy Clark and Ayrton Senna are head and shoulders above him. I would rate Michael Schumacher above him as well.
However, I still say Kimi for President!

I had a 1.8 V6 years ago but it only made 130hp...
I heard that it was a super smooth V6.

Here is a bit of a comparison between last year and now:



And what has already been observed to be different between the teams.

Williams looking pretty sleek with this

This is also the first Williams car since 1994 without the Senna S logo on it.

I had just seen that too. Jost Capito (ceo of Williams) said in regards to removing this logo:

"We have a new era, we have a new car. And we refurbished also our museum, and where we have a special area to celebrate Ayrton.

"I think we had to look now in the future and not showing the drivers the 'S' all the time they get in the car and being reminded of what happened.

"Now it's time for the team to move on and be very honourable to Senna and having a very dedicated space in the museum and honour him there."

As a lifelong F1 fan going back to the Senna - Prost days, I respect that decision. Senna will never be forgotten.

Now if I was in charge of F1 I’d go back to manual gearboxes. Many a pass was made when your competitor missed a shift.

My company is now an official partner of Scuderia Ferrari and we got an email saying we can submit questions to Charles or Carlos to answer. 15 ppl will have their question selected.

I want to ask Charles what was going on with the 2019 PU.

Send in an easy question so it gets selected and surprise him with an uppercut at the event when your name is called.::stirthepot::🍿
