Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 No excuses for Lance Stroll now, he has to deliver. It won't be the fault of the car if he's not regularly challenging for podiums once Newey has got his feet firmly under the desk at Aston Martin. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 I think Lance would do really well in the Valkyrie once it enters the World Endurance Championship and Le Mans; I genuinely think he's better suited to that kind of racing than F1. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

didcot Posted September 10 Author Share Posted September 10 I miss Murray Walker and his pants on fire style of commentary. He, along with Stirling Moss provided voices for Roary the Racing Car. Murray's character also had a Murray puppet. I'm sure Emison Fittipaldi was in one episode 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scalerailmodelling Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I think this is almost a given, especially as Max has expressed his adoration for the Honda engines and had trepidation about losing them. I am very pleased to see Ford re-join F1 though! 29 minutes ago, Andrew P said: Lawrence Stroll has now set his sights on Max Verstappen with talks underway, as per respected Italian publication Autosprint. #MaxVerstappen #AstonMartin #Formula1 #F1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNERandBR Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/articles/c4gen1vegx7o Mclaren finally getting Oscar to back Lando up. Honestly, the possibility of Lando getting the championship has improved but I still remain sceptical. Don't get me wrong, I really hope he does but there are too many variables. Too many other Drivers who could and will get ahead of Lando or end up behind Verstappen. 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A first championship would maybe change that. 3 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
