So, Alonso to Mercedes and Palmer to McLaren ??
Nico may well be considering the risk/reward balance of another season. I imagine that he already has more money than he will ever need to spend, maybe $100m+ in the bank? Adding 50% to this will not really be noticed, but there is a real risk of death in the job he does. I imagine that he personally knew a number of drivers who have died. So as a father and husband, he took a reasonable decision. Good luck to him.

Simplistically I agree, although I doubt that money has ever been a factor. I do believe the competitive fire still burns, but having achieved his life-long goal, he believes there is little (at the moment) in motorsport that will challenge him.
Again, I wish him well and hope itās the right decision.
OK, fucknuts time to shut the fuck up !!!
What an ass he is.
I think Hamilton is jealous of Nico who coped with all the pressure without resorting to being a shithead

Hahahahhahahahhahahahaha 
Woman trying to reverse park?
I predicted this when he left McLaren a couple of years agoā¦
So Flavio is negotiating thenā¦
I presume, that because of Nicoās late resignation, all the other decent drivers are now contractually tied up for next seasonā¦
Just leaves Button or Massa thenā¦ lolā¦
Pretty much, though a contractās worth toss if the holder is inclined to sell. Naturally, however, none of them are
Iām rather surpirsed that Alonso / McLaren have seemingly managed to meet whatever performance clauses are in their contract: itās unlikely to be loyalty thatās keeping Fred at McLaren
I donāt think Massa or Button are at all an option for Merc, though perhaps for Williams (assuming Bottas > Merc happens) given the lack of experienced drivers available. Personally, I think both are well passed their sell by date, especially Jenson but neither would I be thrilled about a Stroll / Weirhlein lineup
Wow, an Iseki TX1500 in the fleshā¦

Seeing as the worldās gone batshit crazy with will or wonāt come out of retirement to drive for Williams Iām just gonna toss this out there
Merc are in a far from ideal situation: Alonso and Vettel are free in 18: if Bottas signs then it surely wonāt be on a one year deal ,and they end up not having a chance of getting the two best options in 18.
Quite a buzz on social media at the moment. Kobayashi has also been mentioned.
No. Just no.
Looks like Bottas thenā¦
Iād like that to happen.
