FoM have zapped your video :) they don't take long.

At least they now let you watch on You Tube, that is a step forward now that Liberty are controlling it.

Not at all, you just can't watch it outside of youtube. Click the heading.
 
I was just reading an interview with Massa and all may not be well with Williams.

"I could have done another championship, yes, because I had a lot of fun this year with these cars with the level of aerodynamic load they have."

However, Massa says Williams has decided "another path" for 2018 and beyond regarding Lance Stroll's next team mate.

"I had a conversation with my team, who pointed out that for some time that the financial situation has been very, very difficult," he revealed.

"I said I wanted to know by the Brazilian grand prix. The team informed me that the path would be different," Massa added.

Serious hints at another pay-driver being brought on-board?

If you look at the Stroll situation and their collapse down the grid, Williams are worryingly starting to look like Tyrrell and Brabham. I know they've been there before, the mid 00s to early 10s were not easy, but its worrying when a driver at a team with one pay-driver hints that the team is still not in a stable position.

I think they are considering Pascal Wehrlein in return for Free or discounted Power Units next season.
Could be Paddy pulling some strings.
 
The signs were showing that Williams are under pressure when they failed to capitalise on the powerful Merc engines. Force India is just walking away with the positions normally occupied by Williams.

Not even that, signs are that Renault are now faster as well with a better driver lineup to boot. If it wasn't for Hulkenberg's awful reliability record in recent races, Williams' 5th place in the standings could be under threat. With Renault power next season there is no doubt that McLaren will vault up the grid as well and they are already capable of out-qualifying a Williams.

Current outlook for 2018 is grim. Big job for Paddy Lowe if he is to stop the rot.

Someone forgot to give Johnny the memo that Bernie is no longer it.

Another decade, another person in charge, another Ferrari quit threat. Ferrari's a special entity, but with that has come a history of trying to manipulate Formula 1

GUNSHOTS FIRED AS LEWIS HAMILTON'S STAFF AMBUSHED LEAVING CIRCUIT IN BRAZIL

Lewis Hamilton tweeted on Saturday that his staff had been held at gunpoint while leaving the Interlagos circuit in Brazil.

It appears nobody was harmed in the incident, but Hamilton said the team was shaked after guns were held to heads, and shots were fired.

The news has sparked questions over the safety of the race in Brazil, where political and social tensions are high.

Many Brazilians are pointing the incident as being emblematic of wider problems in the country.
