Re: The Alessandro Zanardi IndyCar Thread

Bourdais still leading the championship with Dale Coyne!!! :dance: If he wins the title, will be one of the most impressive ones of the history! But it's too soon to say something.

I need to watch the race, I missed it. Congrats to Hinch for winning again.

Re: Unusual F1 Stats

I saw this recently: Since the return of Honda, McLaren failed to score points in the season opener. 11th place with Jenson Button in 2015 is the best result of the team in the Australian Grand Prix. Also, it's the third straight year Alonso retired from the same grand prix.

Re: 2017 Australian Grand Prix - IIDOTR

1 - Kvyat: Superb driving after a lackluster season. Only finished behind Sainz due bad strategy from Toro Rosso.

2 - Giovinazzi: Missed two practice sessions and did a good job replacing Wherlein.

Re: 2017 Australian Grand Prix - Reject of the Race

The former Renault duo K-Mag (1) and Palmer (2). Poor race, completely beaten by their team mates and could end the year without a seat if they don't improve, considering there are potential replacements (Giovinazzi and Sainz respectively).

Very underwhelming race at St.Pete. It can't be helped by the forced change at turn 3 due a bump which basically killed the overtaking spot at the end of straight into turn 4. At least Bourdais won the race with a master strategy from Dale Coyne. Sadly Jones dropped in the second half of the race, h...

Only rookies drove for Manor in 2016 season. Three rookies. Pretty sure this never happened in the recent times (three rookies in a team in a single season). The closest example which I remember is Jaguar in 2003 season. Webber in his second season alongside with Rookies Pizzonia and Wilson.

Nasr is talking already about the possibility of not getting a race seat for the next season. He could be forced to be a third driver or something. I don't think he will grab one of the Manor seats, especially considering the team ran with three rookies in last season.
