I'm not sure why Alonso and Button were so short before the AGP weekend given the well documented issues McLaren have had.

World champion Nico Rosberg has announced he has retired from Formula 1 with immediate effect.
The 31-year-old German won his first world title on Sunday, beating Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton by finishing second in the final race in Abu Dhabi. "I have climbed my mountain, I am on the peak, so this feels right," Rosberg said. Rosberg won nine of this season's 21 grands prix, beating three-time champion Hamilton by five points. "For 25 years in racing, it has been my dream, my 'one thing', to become Formula 1 world champion," he added. "Through the hard work, the pain, the sacrifices, this has been my target. And now I've made it." The son of Finnish 1982 world champion Keke, Rosberg made his F1 debut for Williams at the Bahrain Grand Prix in 2006, finishing seventh. And when asked if there was any chance of a return, Rosberg added: "No definitely not. End of story. Done." By Andrew Benson Chief F1 writer |
Shock news indeed with Nico's retirement.
Given the sweeping regulation changes for the 2017 season, I expect to see some good value next year. I am tempted to place a few bets PRIOR to pre-season testing, and then making an assessment post pre-season testing for the season proper. I expect Red Bull lead by Adrian Newey to have a fair crack at the WDC next year which is expected to be a more aero formula. |
