The Sauber F1 Team is pleased to announce that Pascal Wehrlein will complete the team’s driver line-up for the 2017 Formula One World Championship. He will race alongside Swede Marcus Ericsson who continues with the Swiss team.
I've just attended a seminar by Andy Cowell, the Managing Director of AMG High Performance Powertrain. Other than talking about getting into F1 and what goes into engineering the F1 power unit, he had some interesting titbits to say.
...
There's going to be a board meeting this Friday about replacing Rosberg, with their target drivers likely being formally announced next week. He actually mentioned Ocon, Button and Alonso as potential targets.

It sounds more like a joke. Alonso is not going to leave McLaren, I guess its too early for Ocon and Button.... come on, I dont think this is real.ChrisDanger wrote:This was posted on another site recently.

Fair point, Hamilton for sure would like to go head to head with Vettel...he has said it several times.Phil wrote:
Now why sign Vettel along side Hamilton? Well for one, I think it would be a heck of a PR stunt. They'd combine the two most successful F1 drivers and have them going head to head. Most fans with a bit of technical insight might be more interested to see a repeat of Alonso vs Hamilton, but for most people and casual people, Vettel on paper and statistically is the more successful one. Mercedes would care more about the PR that would cause, than the F1 fans outthere who believe Alonso to be still among the greatest F1 talents.
I don't doubt that will happen down the road. Making Ferrari or McLaren great again would be a good story for Lewis.George-Jung wrote:
On the other hand, Hamilton might want to try to become champion with three different teams.

I guess that in business, even if you have no chance of hiring Alonso, you have to consider him and use him as a comparison marker to other potential drivers.Vasconia wrote:It sounds more like a joke.

It could be but I guess that Ricciardo has the feeling that RB will be the dominant car in 2017. So I don´t think he really wants to leave the team.ringo wrote:Riciardo to mercedes would be the loophole in the redbull driver lockdown. He has done 3 years with redbull now. I think he can go to mercedes and let sainz step up to redbull. Kyvat can be partnered with gasly at torro rosso.
And there you have it. Strongest pairing:
hamilton and ricciardo.
I don´t know if Lewis wants to return to McLaren, perhaps the Senna-Honda background could make him return, who knows...Shakeman wrote:I don't doubt that will happen down the road. Making Ferrari or McLaren great again would be a good story for Lewis.George-Jung wrote:
