When you can say in all honesty that both the guy he replaced and the team mate who beat him last wouldn’t have hosed up to the same monumental extent, and would be WDC right now, then the answer is “not much”

I bet in the president Bernie timeline, Alonso won the WDC this year in a Ferrari while Vettel struggled all year with an exploding Honda, and Michael Schumacher did the podium interviews at the German Grand Prix and Eddie Jordan is the one who's a vegetable.

I would troll you over this, but Red Bull are going full "Vettel and Webber" with "Max and Dan" so I'm 100% on the McLaren train for next year.

"Train" denotes swift, unstoppable forward movement.

On the McLaren zepplin, or pushing the McLaren Yugo would be more apt.

If Williams signs Kubica, and Sauber drops Ericsson for Giovinazzi, this will be the strongest grid in an extremely long time.

What about Gas-Fart in Honda powered Toro Rossos.

They're going to get lapped by Stroll.

I should also mention that a bunch of you foreign dudes should figure out how to pirate TSN from Canada for the next 8 days, because the Roar of the Rings is on and it's gonna be a straight up beat down brawl from start to finish.

F1 2017 was supposed to be the one to drag me back into their lovely games with the whole tech tree and development. But you gain resource points so god drat slowly and the same practice tests over and over is so tedious that you just quickly burn out on it. It sucks.

Here's hoping F1 2018 makes it seem more fun rather than stupidly grindy.

Progression in F1 2018 will almost certainly be entirely through loot crates.

I like Cabovers but they are basically extinct in North America aside from the Japanese Medium Duty trucks.

You can still order a freightliner argosy glider kit, or a C500 as a cabover. up until 2012? they still used the old K-series cabs, now they use DAF cabs!

You can also get class 6-7 kenworths that are rebadged DAFs.
