Yeah, Paul Ricard is an odd circuit. Usually dull but not this time.

Just a push notification from Sky Sports that Vettel is retiring at the end of the year, think it's been clear for a while his heart is not in it, but I suspect an upturn in his driving now the weight of the decision is out in the public domain & to show how much better he is than Stroll

He has turned out to be a decent chap with all his charity work .
It is a bit sad as he would still be a pretty good racer if given a better car . I think Stroll is rubbish and is only there because Daddy owns the team .

Stroll does show occasionally flashes of brilliance, but they are occasional, he's a bit like Nicholas Latifi they both could drive circles around me single handed with one eye blinded folded in a car with only 50% power of the one Im driving, but are they blocking a seat for amore talented driver who just can't get the money together, Absolutely

I'm not a fan, but I'm going to miss him, as he's evolved into one of the paddock's real characters in the last couple of years. Being at Aston, I think we've seen the real Seb rather than the corporate identikit driver from earlier in his career. I really respect the fact that he's got the gumption to stand up and talk about topics that people can find uncomfortable, and that he's not above staying behind after a race meeting and picking litter. The F1 paddock will be poorer without him.

As has ever been the case in motor racing, unfortunately.
I'd like to see what Stroll can do away from the influence of his father. I don't think he's anywhere near top drawer like Norris or Russell, but that he's decent enough and might win a race or two if things fall his way.
Totally agree. In his Red Bull years he seemed totally devoid of character, whereas now he comes across as someone who would always be great to have a chat with. Hopefully he'll get into punditry so Rosberg can climb back into his hole (sorry Rosberg fans - if there are any - I just cannot find anything to like about him).

So true
No I think he will just drift away, do a bit of campaigning, use his fame for charitable work, as to Rosberg, the sooner they widen the net to get Brundles replacement the better,
Rosberg No
Davidson No
Button No
di Resta No
Webber No
Coulthard No
There must be a driver out there that has the personality to take over

I wasn't one of his fans at the start of his career either but he seems to have evolved into a bit of a character as time has gone by.

Isn’t it funny once the champions lose their crown they become a bit more human.
Hamilton surely doesn’t have many more seasons in him. He seems to be mellowing too.

That was the first time that I thought he had changed for the good .
He doesn't seem to mind now rattling a few of the establishment's cages either .

I've noticed a couple of times that Hamilton has dropped the mask momentarily.

That's because he's got no real competition this year, given that Ferrari are doing him a favour by shooting themselves in the foot. Might be a different story come Spa, when there's a change in the tech regs.
He's still got a face like a smacked bottom, though.
