Could Kubica be competative in Formula E?
All those tight street circuits, tight cabin and continues use of that recovery peddle.

It was written in the stars, or rather the rumourmill, and today, Renault F1 has confirmed that Fernando Alonso will return to the team with which he won his two F1 World Championships with.
I would think FE has about 50% of the physicality of F1. Speeds are lower, accel/decel rates lower, G-loading of less duration/lap, steering wheel less intricate, etc.
Yes racing somewhere, with whatever the lessons are from this year, which I suspect means not single seatersScorpaguy wrote: ↑20 Sep 2019, 04:20

But Kub is an aggressive driver, not sure that battery mgmt would be his cup of tea.
Still, I want him racing somewhere.
Why would that be? He was great in Monaco GP, which is as tough as it gets in single seaters regarding physical constrains. For those know it alls after looking at the time sheets, even excluding conspiracy theories, a quick reminder: Kubica still drives 1st spec engine, while Russel has newest specs.izzy wrote: ↑20 Sep 2019, 10:16Yes racing somewhere, with whatever the lessons are from this year, which I suspect means not single seatersScorpaguy wrote: ↑20 Sep 2019, 04:20

If you can drive a F1 car on speed for two hours, any other racing series is almost easy.netoperek wrote: ↑20 Sep 2019, 11:12Why would that be?

- I agree, he was fine in +30 km rally stages, except for hairpins
. With more than a decent speed and improvements, which is important, on gravel.
? He has been wasting seats and top seats for a decade. Top seats wasted on Albon, Gasly, Kvyat, Ricciardo (yes Ricciardo, there were better options), Vettel (yes Vettel, there were better options) TR same plus Hartley, f.. Hartley after 8 years, top of the pile Red Bull's elderly "junior".can't tell if being serious but if.....then what a load of tripeiotar__ wrote: ↑20 Sep 2019, 14:50
Oh look Horner has too much time
he wouldn't know, would he

As for Verstappen, remember when Gasly outqualified him in a Toro Rosso in wet conditions? On merit, no rain lottery. How good was this car, and how big of a waste was Gasly, Hartley pair. In alternative F1 media reality they both were announced a success.
Don't know that turning the wheel is the problem rather than the things that have to be 'twiddled' while doing it.netoperek wrote: ↑20 Sep 2019, 11:12Why would that be?

top seats wasted on ricciardo and vettel? better options?
Alonso declined.
Vettel gave them 4 WDC titles.
Ricciardo beat Vettel in his maiden year.
i hope this is a joke
https://www.express.co.uk/sport/f1-auto ... c.outbrainToto Wolff says he and Lewis Hamilton have discussed the possibility of the Brit racing in Formula E.
Hamilton is under contract with Mercedes’ F1 team until the end of next season, at which point major rule changes are expected to be brought in by Liberty Media.
The five-time world champion has been very vocal in his disregard for the proposals being put forward.
And Hamilton has started to consider switching to Formula E.
”Lewis follows a lot of motorsports and we have certainly already talked about Formula E,” Wolff told SNTV.
“When we were both unable to sleep in Shanghai, it came on TV and we sat together watching. We exchanged some ideas there then.
“Lewis is a versatile driver who really has an eye for that sport.
“If the popularity for Formula E will increase, then he really is someone who is open to it. But now his focus is still on Formula 1.”
Mercedes recently launched their Formula E team and hired ex-F1 driver Stoffel Vandoorne to drive alongside former F2 ace Nyck De Vries.
The electric series is growing from strength to strength and could soon be a rival to motorsport’s premier competition.
Earlier this year, Hamilton admitted he would consider racing in Formula E.
“That is something I have kind of been debating,” Hamilton told the Sun.
There was an interview with Hamilton this weekend and he said he would never consider Formula E?Just_a_fan wrote: ↑03 Oct 2019, 11:50Lewis will retire at the end of 2020 is my guess. He's already said he doesn't like the way F1 is going from 2021 so it would make sense to retire before that season. I'd be surprised if Ferrari don't win the title next year, so I think Hamilton will decide to call it quits on 6 titles and a drawer full of wins/poles.
