Oh right, and how did that go for him exactly?
Was never a huge fan of Button, but it was a sad ending to his F1 career, stuck at McLaren, fighting for scraps. He seems fairly happy in Super GT over in Japan, now he has a competitive, race winning car under him.
He was contracted as McLaren's reserve driver. He was bound by that to participate in the GP should one of the regular drivers were unavailable.
Perez and Magnussen also struggled at McLaren. Perez has definetely shown that he belongs in the upper half of the grid and Magnussen is starting to show that as well. It would be a shame if Vandoorne was entirely kicked out of F1 and never given a proper chance to show what he can do.
Looks like that fraud Peter P is next in line for the McLaren chopping block:
Goss and Peter P's lies cost McLaren works status and half-a-billion dollars - lol
Brown says the current car has less downforce than last year's and it will take 2 - 10 years to get McLaren back fighting at the front.

This off the record stuff wouldn't even be allowed to hit the publication page.
Very interesting dev diary for the new F1 game. They're adding dialogue options to choose from while talking to the press and they'll influence how the guys from your team and other teams perceive you. They've also shown a more complex mechanism for negotiating contracts with other teams during the season. All looks nice, but I hope that we will find "bwoah I don't know" among the available answers. :)
Didn't they do that in 2010 or 2011 or something?
Anyway, as long as they have "bwoah" and "I was taking a shit", I'll be happy.
Yeah, now that you mention it and I remember something like that in one of the earliest Codemasters games, but it was a completely pointless feature back then. I hope it won't be too simplistic in the new game.
I think your choices about how you said your team performed allegedly impacted development back then? Yeah, I barely remember the 2010-11 games since they were a bore. 2012 was the lively one with KERS and free DRS use in practice/qualifying.
Dear god they're really going through the first two turns with DRS open.
Energy deployment is back on the menu for 2018 and these revamped interviews might be a nice novelty but considering I've played the last two games for multiple seasons, I'm not sure if answering interview questions is going to be all that fun after 50+ hours.
From what little I've played of 2010, the interviews were rather forgettable. I enjoyed managing KERS and DRS in 2012, it felt like the sensible F1 version of nitro boost or something.

That first DRS zone sounds suicidal. What an odd choice of a third zone, though. Even if you could somehow get away with it in qualifying, there's absolutely no way you could have it open while trailing a car during the race so I'm not sure how it helps overtaking. I'll be surprised if we go through the entire weekend without someone having a major incident trying this. Should have run it down the old pit straight instead. If you're going to allow it here, you might as well un-ban DRS for 130R and the Monaco tunnel. Whatever. If it were up to me I'd go back to totally free use in qualifying.
Papa Stroll looking at McLaren and Force India for next season as he's had enough of the Williams leadership.
I'd love to see Stroll in the McLaren.

Yes, that's exactly what McLaren needs, even more leadership without a clue and a driver who can only complain as a form of communication with the team.
Yes, cause that's just what mclaren needs right now. *sigh*
What McLaren Racing need is cash with the Bahrainis not willing or unable to put up a substantial budget for next season - I read some of their shareholders are currently under British government investigation.
Brown's failed to pull in the big money sponsors, his inability has forced them to sell off a collection of their classic racing cars in desperate need of raising millions. Papa Stroll with his tens of millions could be McLaren's savior.
Either way it's looking like Perez or Vandoorne are done for.
Grosjean crashes in FP1, Verstappen in FP2. Last week's race was not the normality for sure.
Random thought: If the average quali gap between Massa and Stroll was over 6 tenths (2017) and the average gap between Massa and Alonso was 3 tenths (2012, first result in google), that means this year's Williams might have a good second of quali pace in it (especially with experienced driver feedback).
That would put them right there for the fight towards best of the rest.

I just had this absurd idea of an online championship where you still get the career mode option of talking shit about other (human!) drivers to the press.
After that blip in performance last weekend, it's nice to see VER back on top form.
Well funny you'd say that, supposedly Whiting already promised yellow sausages before quali.
Gasly stopping again with an engine problem. Honda is getting better in pace but not in reliability.
Gasly's was running his old Bahrain PU, very high mileage.
