Sergio has announced the he will be leaving RP at the end of the season - not by his choice.

It's been said that the current buyer for Williams is an interim for another person. They are a 'well known family'.

Perez has been the better of the two Racing Point drivers on most weekends, but his daddy didn't buy a Formula 1 team for him. With the idea that one might land Nico Hulkenberg or Sebastian Vettel for a reasonable price, Perez may be expendable.

OK, this gets confusing. Red Bull is losing the Aston Martin branding, which moves to Racing Point. Seb follows his old team to Racing Point/Aston Martin.

That car better have Miniguns in it.

Lance Stroll's daddy also bought Aston Martin to bring in additional sponsorship to put on his son's racing car.

For Red Bull, losing the Aston Martin sponsorship may help smooth some ruffled feathers with Honda, who spent many more millions on engine development than the other three engine suppliers did since Honda joined up with Red Bull (prior to this year's budget cap, limits on dyno testing and ban on in-season engine performance upgrades).

The gloss burgundy on the Ferraris this week looks better than the dull matte finish that they've been wearing.

Besides everything else that happened, a what, half KM DRS zone is great for over takes.

Me too - besides all the carnage it was a great race. That one half KM DRS zone was a monster for overtakes.

I kind of restarted this thread in vehicles, planes and mopeds - felt it was a better spot.

Anyone catch Sochi Today? Holee crap.

*** Edit

And I feel we missed a cultural thing by not calling it planes, trains, and automobiles.

Thanks to the rain, the Pink Panthers (Racing Point) are P1 and P3. First race in how long that Mercedes isn't on the front row?
