We knew it was only a matter of time ... and no surprise that Ferrari is the favoured choice over Mercedes. https://www.gpfans.com/en/articles/3695/schumacher-has-chosen-between-ferrari-and-mercedes/So, are we looking at a future, where drivers like Leclerc, Norris and Schumy Jr. are fighting for championships, asking Max (the old timer) to move out the way and not interfere with their battles?  Best Regards, Cal

I certainly agree with the 3 comments above, regarding the halo obstruction/graphic overlay inside the car. I think it's one of the cheapest things to happen to F1 in 2018!!! I'm "semi used to" the halo from 45 angles outside the car, especially should they continue to develop it's place on the car in 2019, but again, those inside cockpit camera angles are awful. From the 80's to 90's, F1 worked hard to give us a feeling of what the driver sees, then the Halo did quite the reverse!! Best Regards, Cal

Very good post Jericoke!! Of course, we never want to tame 90% of what Max brings on track, but most neutrals are beginning to have an issue with his attitude here and there. I know, it's no different to many greats before him, but I do hope he matures, as far as his character is concerned, while erasing a couple of those "push the boat out" incidents on track. I generally enjoy watching him race and agree that he does bring a new edge to 'race days' ... I would just like to see him tidy up a couple of rough edges. We can't refer to him as the "new boy" any more, so all the usual comments on letting him mature and grow up as a person, well, those comments don't carry as much weight in the last 12 months. On the same token, I would like to see a couple of drivers step into the dark side and grow some *cough* ... horns!! ... let's see how they all play in 2019. Best Regards, Cal

Apparently, this is Sir Jackie's recent review on Mad Max ...
"British racing legend Jackie Stewart has praised Red Bull driver Max Verstappen for “rejuvenating” Formula 1."
Surely, we can only agree with this statement to a point, but not necessarily in a good way all around (race craft and poor conduct at times) ??
Best Regards,
Cal
While Jackie is certainly famous for his part in bringing safety to F1, he's always known what side the butter goes on. Max is bringing attention to the sport in the same way that Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso did. They all had huge fan bases 'at home' who paid to come watch F1, buy F1 swag etc. As 'serious' F1 fans we don't want to see a grid of 24 Mad Max's, but one or two does keep things interesting. It doesn't appear any of the other 'up and coming' talent has the same attitude, so the sport will survive both because of, and despite Max.

This would also add to Danny Ric's fans concerns ... https://thewest.com.au/sport/f1/daniel-ricciardo-admits-to-outbursts-after-shocking-final-season-at-red-bull-ng-b881048150zSounds like he was just as talented at "late breaking" with his fist/elbow and knees off the track during his 2018 campaign. The obvious concern being, if things don't fly at Renault, will we see more Danny Ric frustration/outbursts and less of Danny Ric "all smiles and jokes" ?? Best Regards, Cal

Every penny goes back into GPW for the running, maintenance and improvements. The new chatroom software needed this year was a big hole in the budget but it had to be done. Please note that Luke Warmwater decided to donate his 1st prize of £100 of F1 goodies back into GPWizard. Thank you to everyone's generosity. You guys continue to humble me even after all these years. Wiz
