Where does Fred put him if Olly is ready for F1 though? There’s no feeder teams he could use.

Toto made the same mistake with Verstappen.
Mess with the Bull - you get the horns.

Haas have 6(!) FP1 sessions planned with him. I don't think KMag survives another season tbh, he was a Guenther hire and Hulk has pretty consistently had the better of him.

Haas will likely have an opening. Hulkenberg could end up moving to Sauber/Audi, and/or Magnussen isn't renewed.

LOL Marko never stops.
And Marko if you didn't kick every jr to the curb for not dominating F2 maybe you would have a better line up.

PS: Also interesting response in that thread, "because that's what you did for Lawson" =D>

Horner came this close to freeing us from having to listen to Marko's drivel. :mrgreen:

Having one good race as a replacement for someone is so not the same as being ready to getting a seat in the top-team next to one of the quickest drivers on the grid.

one thing to note, Charles was given the go to use "Mode race" around 15 to 10 laps to go. but i am not sure if he used, because Xavi reminded him again around 5 laps to go. And then Charles went for fastest lap, but Bearman also was told to use race mode when Norris and Lewis pitted for soft. So, it's fair to say Bearman pushed a lot more than Charles and is not a fair comparison as Marko is suggesting. but I agree with jock clear statement, I was paying a lot of attention to Bearman onboard he drove very clean those last few laps.

I mean, it's not realistic to expect a 18 year old during their first F1 race with an hour of preparation to match someone as quick as Charles. The fact that he was getting close at all is a testament to his talent and skill.

A lot is always made of debutantes as if they have have never driven and raced before, Bearman did a solid job but I do think some are getting carried away.
He drove well and brought the car home, but let's not turn a blind eye to the fact he was also driving the second quickest car, a car that finished 14 seconds ahead of the third best car, a car that but for the safety car would have likely finished 20 seconds ahead of the third best car...

Yes. But the nice thing was also that he was driving balls out..I mean this first corner and some of the early overtakes may have ended his front wing VERY EASILY. Not sure if this refreshing stile can last long without getting touchy. :D

Ferrari bought LH from economic reasons only.
Their stock price rose for about 12% capitalizing $10 billion and for some other reasons...

You mean like posting the best annual report in the history of the company on the same day? Might that have had something to do with the stock price? It was a cute story that Ham boosted the market cap by several billions, but it was disinformation. The stock price jumped the moment the financial data was announced.

LOL, come on, this is sensationalism at its finest.
Again, for the 1000th time, the stock price went up because Ferrari had a fantastic quarter in terms of sells and revenues.
By going with this type of thinkering, everytime Scuderia Ferrari is not winnig the stock price should go down, which doesn't happen.

I hope bringing Lewis in also attract other engineer from across English Channel to join ;) certain someone named Adrian Newey has mentioned he wish he had worked with Ferrari and Lewis in his life time in f1 podcast.. also, john Elkan said how Ferrari is now united after the race. I know its pr talk but the team does look quite united under Fred..

If Ferrari really wants the bear man they'll buy him a drive at a lower team for a few seasons and then promote him when Hamilton retires. Ferrari doesn't have an issue forcing people to retire, either.
Honda!
