Slazem se, ne guram ga ja tamo nego se on sam tamo gura. A nije za Ferari, cak ni za klasicnu "dvojku".

Perez je završio svoje u F1, sledeće posle FI je WEC ili Indi. FI će držati Pereza dok mu ne nađu zamenu. Isto tako mislim i za Grožana i Magnusena. Grožan će najverovatnije ići Rozbergovim stopama u smislu da ćese posvetiti porodici posle F1, Perez i Magnusen će najverovatnije provesti ostatak motorsport karijere u 100 malih milion serija. 

 

Masa mora leteti što pre ali da mu zamena bude Kubica ili Perez, Robertu dajem prednost naravno.

Poljska nema firme koje mogu da budu sponzori na globalnom nivou. Imaš na primer PKN Orlen, što je gigant kao i Petrobras npr. ali niko van istočne Evrope nije čuo za njih.

Tako da je Robert isto završio, bojim se.

To je absurd svih absurda, zar nije ćaća Strol hteo platiti Alonsu angažman radi "podučavanja" Lensa? Uz Lensa u Vilijamsu ekipa može priuštiti starijeg asa koji "zna znanje" ko Kubicu na primer. Vilijams ne sme trenutno pustiti Strola u ruke drugih ekipa, ćaća ima para, Lens već sada pokazuje od čega je satkan i ekipa može priuštiti "siromašne" starije asove a Martini zadovoljan. 

[Rad-oh-yeah?]

Inace, Kler Vilijams je na trudnickom odsustvu, Ser Frenku zdravlje vise ne dozvoljava da putuje, pa ce tako Singapur biti prva trka nakon mnogo godina da u boksu Vilijamsa nece biti nijednog predstavnika porodice - a nece ih biti sve do kraja sezone....

[Doorn]

Nesto se prica da bi Paul di Resta mogao da zamjeni Massu u 2018.

[/13/Ален Шмит/]

Bez uvrede prema di Resti ali pre bi hteo hendikepiranog Kubicu negoli di Restu u Vilijamsu sledeće godine. On je u idealnom scenariju izvrsni testni vozač, koji bi uskočio u slučaju da se ispostavi da Kubica ne može izdržati trku. Sledeće sezone Vilijams se sprema za ozbiljne stvari, po prvi puta će napraviti "normalan" aero paket, izbaciće "sapun" aerodinamiku radi agresivnijeg paketa i za takve korake u budućnosti trebaš nekoga ko će "završiti" posao. Nekako mi deluje da bi di Restina arogancija zbog koje je i izbačen iz FI ponovo iskočila bez obzira na godine i zrelost. Vilijams bi uz Kubicu dobio i Rozberga koji mu je menadžer. Kakva je to samo reklama za tim i Martini. Di Resta kao No1 mi deluje dno dna, a još kad bi ga malac Lens tukao bilo bi bolno i negledljivo. Takve poteze bi vukla Hispanija a ne jedan veliki Vilijams,...
 

Kubica in frame for Williams Formula 1 test

Robert Kubica is in frame to test for the Williams Formula 1 team as it evaluates its 2018 driver options, Motorsport.com has learned.

Williams could assess Kubica as a potential replacement for Felipe Massa, who is considering finally retiring at the end of the 2017 F1 season.

With Williams running out of options for Lance Stroll's teammate after Force India confirmed it will keep Sergio Perez next year, rumours are gathering pace that Kubica is high on Williams's shortlist of drivers for 2018.

The team is set to offer Kubica a test in a 2014-spec F1 car.

It is believed Williams is targetting the test for either the Malaysian or Japanese Grand Prix Friday on a European circuit to avoid media attention.

Kubica, whose F1 career was interrupted by life-threatening injuries from a rally crash in 2011, tested '12 and '17 F1 cars with Renault this year in an effort to prove he could return to grand prix racing.

But Renault eventually opted for Carlos Sainz as Nico Hulkenberg's 2018 teammate.

Title sponsor Martini is believed to have a strong say in Williams's driver choice, and it is yet to be seen if the company would be happy with Kubica as a brand ambassador for its global PR campaigns.

Earlier this week it was announced that reigning F1 world champion Nico Rosberg had become part of Kubica's management team.

Rosberg, who drove for Williams from 2006-09 and is well-established at Grove, could potentially take on a supporting brand ambassador role for Martini if Kubica joins Williams.

 

Sad će Kubica raditi iste one testove koje su radili Lens Strol i Pol di Resta nedugo pre Masinog "bolovanja" u Mađarskoj. Imaće podatke i sve će lepo analizirati a Kubica će verujem raditi simulacije svega i svačega na spomenutom testu. Ta testiranja su ključ Vilijamsove odluke oko biranja No1 vozača.

[Rad-oh-yeah?]

Alene, uz sve duzno postovanje i prema tebi i prema Kubici, ali s obzirom da prica ide da je Masa izgubio mesto u Vilijamsu i prosle sezone a i da ce ga izgubiti i na kraju ove sezone ne zato sto zeli u penziju vec sto mu je presusilo sponzorstvo ja nazalost ne mogu da vidim Kubicu na njegovom mestu. Ne verujem da je on raspolozen da u ovim godinama i u njegovoj situaciji kupuje mesto u bolidu a sponzore nema to svi znamo. Najvise sto moze da se nada su ovi testovi, pa ako to zaintrigira neki od timova da mu plati ili uleti neki sponzor mozda nesto i bude od svega.

 

Istini za volju, ne vidim ni Di Restu u Vilijamsu iz slicnih razloga, a jos je i slabiji vozac od Kubice. Spominjao se negde i Nasr ali i on je isti ko Di Resta.

 

Ono sto je kvaka je to sto Martini trazi da jedan od dvojice u Vilijamsu bude stariji od 25, a Vilijams trazi nekog s lovom. Takav trenutno ne postoji u F1 a da nije bvec pod ugovorom. Ustvari, postoji - Fernando Alonso, ali bi on morao da se odrekne visokog ugovora. Od vozaca koji su bez ugovora za sledecu sezonu samo Verlajn ima novac (Mercedesov) ali on nema 25 godina, i Palmer ali pitanje ima li ga dovoljno da nadomesti ocigledan manjak talenta.

[/13/Ален Шмит/]

Zato i kažem da je onaj test koji predstoji ključan, ovo sve je prepiranje i pričanje u prazno. "Ovaj je dobar, ovaj je isto dobar, ovaj ima para..." Sve su to samo činjenice, prave stvari dolaze nakon testa. 

[Rad-oh-yeah?]

Pa dobar je i Masa, ali to nista ne znaci jer su pare ono sto odlucuje.

[/13/Ален Шмит/]

U celoj ovoj priči začine je dodao baš Masa jer je opovrgnuo šanse za debi u FE u nadolazećoj sezoni koja počinje u decembru. Završi se F1, taman u vreme da se spremi za FE i tu upada Kubica. Malo sam preuveličao neke stvari

Palmer

 
Paz' ovo:
 

Jolyon Palmer's father has confirmed the 26-year-old is eyeing a switch to Williams for 2018.

Renault driver Palmer admitted Singapore was a difficult weekend, as he tackled not only the news he is being dropped by the team but also rumours he might be replaced by Carlos Sainz as soon as Malaysia in two weeks.

But he then had a strong result in the race, insisting afterwards that he now has "six more races" to show another team that he should be signed for 2018.

"I hope I can build on this confidence," he said.

"Of course I want to stay in formula one, and there are other options. Whatever happens, happens."

Palmer's father, the UK racing circuit mogul Jonathan, is hawking his son's talents up and down the paddock at present.

The best opportunity is Williams, who are also contemplating taking on Robert Kubica. The latest news is that Kubica will follow up his recent Williams simulator test with an actual track outing in Brazil.

But Palmer senior said in Singapore: "A few good races and Williams might take notice.

"Williams will want to take their best option and he has the chance to show he is that over the next few races," added Jonathan Palmer, also a former F1 driver.

Williams confirms it is evaluating Kubica

Williams has confirmed that Robert Kubica is one of the drivers it is evaluating for a race seat in 2018, as the Pole continues his journey towards a potential full-time return, after several tests with Renault.

Kubica suffered severe arm injuries in a rally crash in 2011, cutting short his Formula 1 career, but he started to explore the possibility of a comeback earlier this year.

He sampled 2012-spec F1 machinery courtesy of Renault and was then given the chance to drive the manufacturer's 2017 car at the post-Hungarian Grand Prix test.

Kubica's prospects of returning with Renault were ended by the announcement that current Toro Rosso racer Carlos Sainz Jr. will partner Nico Hülkenberg in 2018.

Renault chief Cyril Abiteboul had stated that the outfit did not get all of the answers it wanted from the final test, before acting to secure Red Bull-backed Sainz Jr. in a loan deal.

However, Kubica has since emerged as a candidate to race at Williams next season.

Lance Stroll, although yet to be officially confirmed, is set to continue, having joined Williams as part of a long-term programme, but there is uncertainty over the identity of his team-mate.

Felipe Massa was recalled by Williams after Nico Rosberg's retirement, to facilitate Valtteri Bottas' move to Mercedes, but has made clear that he needs to feel "wanted" to stay on for another year.

Massa (36), reserve driver Paul di Resta (31) – following an impressive stand-in performance at the Hungaroring – and Kubica (32) are understood to be on Williams' list.

"We are evaluating a number of drivers for our 2018 race seat, of which Kubica is one," a Williams spokesperson explained to GPUpdate.net.

Recent reports have suggested that Kubica will test for Williams in the coming weeks, but the team remained tight-lipped over how it will evaluate its options.

"The details of how we are evaluating the drivers on the list is obviously confidential, but we will make any announcements regarding our future plans when we are in a position to do so," added the spokesperson.

Rosberg, who previously raced for Williams from 2006 to 2009, recently joined Kubica's management stable to assist his bid to return to the Formula 1 grid.

Stroll family dashes Kubica's hopes of a Williams test

A plan to test Robert Kubica in Suzuka last week was thwarted by the Stroll family, and may have impacted the Pole's chances of racing for Williams in 2018.

The Grove-based outfit has narrowed down its list of potential drivers for next season to just three names: Felipe Massa, Paul di Resta and Robert Kubica.

Williams is keen on evaluating the latter, who is attempting a sensational comeback drive after his 2011 rally crash, and planned on slotting Kubica into Lance Stroll's private testing program with a 2014-spec Williams.

According to Mark Hughes from Motorsport Magazine, the young Canadian tested the 2014 Williams twice recently at Suzuka, once before the Singapore Grand Prix and once after.

An opportunity to test Kubica and evaluate the driver in Japan did not get clearance however from Lance Stroll and his father Lawrence.

The billionaire fashion mogul financially supports the entirety of his son's testing program, and while he may not have a say on who races alongside Lance Stroll at Williams, he certainly can decide who can run on his son's time at the private tests.

Ultimately, the Strolls decided to ship the two cars at its disposal directly from Japan to Austin in order to gather mileage ahead of the US Grand Prix.

Williams is now pondering the idea of testing Kubica somewhere in Europe with its remaining 2014-spec car. The 32-year-old must provide the financial backing however to cover the costs of the test.

The complications linked with testing Kubica may play right into the hands of Paul di Resta.

The Scottish driver, who replaced Massa in Hungary this summer when the Brazilian fell ill, is a known quantity for Williams and a consistent and reliable runner with a wealth of experience.

He may just turn out to be exactly what Williams needs...

Još će Vilijams na kraju uzeti di Restu ili Palmera samo da Kubica nebi oprao pod s Lensom
