They really did waste the last years of Fred's career. What a shame. If he would have stayed in that Ferrari he'd probably have 3 or 4 championships by now.

I'm not sure about championships, but he would've certainly got more podiums.

The fact that he dragged that shitbox ferrari so close to Vettel during his glory years in the class-of-the-field RBR is amazing. He could have taken an improved Ferrari up against the Mercs in the last few years no problem.

If only we got to see it. The rumor mill still suggests that Alonso could return to Ferrari if Vettel [or Leclerc] don't win next year. As much as I'd like to see it happen, I think they're really reaching.

Fernando would be leading Lewis right now if he were in the Ferrari.

With how the Merc looks right now, I think Lewis would still wind up WDC.

So Japan was decent, COTA should be pretty darn good too.

"Formula One motorsport director Ross Brawn believes Sebastian Vettel's mistakes can no longer be viewed as an unfortunate coincidence and are instead proof that the Ferrari driver is 'out of sorts'."
Ross Brawn - It's a shame Sebastian Vettel did not make better use of competitive Ferrari

Mexico race was a good one. Mostly hard racing front to back all race. It was interesting to see some teams get it very wrong on tires this weekend.

I found it shocking how different cars reacted to the tires, was really odd. I don't remember it being that bad in previous years.
