December and January are the months F1 drivers use to rest from the other 10 months of traveling around the world drinking champagne, loving models and driving million dollar cars.

Apparently, Renault are looking to replace Pastor with some Norwegian weirdo:

Disagreement with PDVSA, they're saying. This is a travesty, Pastor is a good lad and doesn't deserve to be axed like this.

Pastor reported to be in talks with Manor, if this is about the amount of money his sponsors were willing to pay then they will probably take him for half of what Renault wanted.

Is Helmut Marko mentally ill?

"Renault should focus its efforts on helping Red Bull rather than its own works teams in 2016, claims Helmut Marko."

I'm pretty sure his mouth-piece. Adultery Spice, has spent most of the past 9 months saying Renault are poo poo.

because they think mclaren were mean to him and because most of them don't watch F1 and just look back at results and say "oh well magnussen got a 2nd place and button didn't ergo magnussen is better"

The only thing Pastor is killing is Kimi's odds of remaining in that Ferrari seat the full year.

Vettel will never agree to someone who would beat him to the championship on the other car. Which is why Ferrari should put Pastor in Vettle's car

This is the right opinion to have. Pastor is the shittest driver on the grid but everyone rags on him endlessly and then he crashes doing something stupid like forgetting to turn left. These are things that make this tap water of a sport enjoyable.
