Silly Season 2020/2021 (starting with silliness in 2019)

[Jolle]

Got a news that Alonso will be in F1 Italy race. Not sure for what purpose.

Max will not be with RB beyond 2020. He will join other team in 2021 but not sure about which team Ferrar?Mercedes?Mclaren? He won't waste further time with Honda Project.

Danial Ricardo may also move to some other team from Renault in 2021. I suspect he could end with Lecrec in Ferrari.

Vettel may move to RB in 2021, I don't think he will be with Mercedes till Hamilton driving for them.

May I ask wäre you've got this news?

I read it too.
Alonso said it in a Q and A on his Instagram story last week.
He will be present in Monza, Austin and another I forgot, I believe he said Japan.
And he said maybe in Abu Dhabi.

Entertaining McLaren’s guests probably

OK, thank you, but I'm more interested in the RB-thing.

I am sorry, my mistake.

...still the class of the field...

Relative to Rosberg and Bottas, yes.

...an excellent ambassador for the sport...

In what sense?

He's in the news a lot, getting people reading about him and by extension, the sport. He makes a lot of noise in America which is a very new market relatively for Formula 1. Also very active on social media as another way to connect to fans. This is all positive stuff for F1.

Regarding the relative bit, yes relative to his teammate, but the same can be said for everyone else and doesn't really help an argument for bringing Max in (if that's what you were getting at, if not then its still a valid point).

Winning drivers get press in any series. Schumacher, Vettel eras as well, these also affirm the common complaint of the monotony of F1. Social media stuff can be cringe and cheesy i.e. can backfire. US has been a market for F1 since the 1950s. It would as easy to say this is all negative stuff for F1.

No problem, I could have been more specific on what I'm interested in right from the beginning

Lewis has 12,500000 followers. 379,000 likes. That is 3% likes.
Max has 2,500000 followers and 338,000 likes. That is 13.5% likes. Nice isn't it?

great math, but is that really the coolest photo on Max's Instagram?
also Max has 338,000 since 4th August,Lewis has 380,000 TODAY !

so there

But on topic, obviously survival of the internet depends on these two not being in the same team

Don't you just hate it when pictures have an horizon that is not horizontal !?

[Capharol]

After that Steiner said he won't take rookie for 2020 and it's a open secret Haas might be dumping Grosjean... Possibble way the carroussel might spin as following
Ocon = Mercedes
Bottas = Renault
Hulkenberg = Haas

Hamilton is in the press if he's winning or losing, and cringe/cheesy is purely subjective really. Yes the US has been a market since the 50's, but it's only since Liberty came along that they are really pushing it as an agenda, as I'm sure you're well aware.

The US is not interested in F1 as it has a huge home-grown motorsport tradition based on ovals and drag strips.

The rest of the world is more interested in F1, so the focus should be the rest of the world.
