disenchanted with current Formula 1.
Hardly surprising is it? I bet Button would jump at the chance of Bottas's seat right now too.

Tony.

FA finds the current F1 too slow and predictable.

Picking the TOP 5 things from the Hungarian GP was tricky, a TOP 50 would have been easier!

Maldonado gets a mention of course "scored more penalties than the English football team". Spot on.

After finishing third at the Belgian Grand Prix, Romain Grosjean thinks Lotus will be even stronger at Monza, Italy, this weekend.

Sebastian Vettel does not expect number one status at Ferrari, saying the "best thing" for the team is to give both drivers the same equipment and opportunities. (Yeah, right)

Ferrari say Kimi Raikkonen was not given a new F1 deal because he was the most popular or the cheapest option, but because he was the fastest man available.

Ferrari's return to form is not down to the team's new bosses, according to former chief designer Nikolas Tombazis.

Former McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh fears Kimi Raikkonen could leave F1 next year having never "realised his potential".

Fernando Alonso does not think McLaren will struggle for points again in 2016 and expects improvements to show from this month's Singapore Grand Prix.

Honda motorsport chief Yasuhisa Arai believes the Japanese manufacturer's engine output is 25 horsepower clear of Renault, but as much as double that behind Mercedes.

McLaren racing director Eric Boullier has admitted the team's partnership with Honda "was too ambitious" to begin with. He says McLaren expect "an evolution" in 2016 and "2017 is more where our focus will start soon"


Valtteri Bottas was "very happy and pleased to confirm that I will be racing with Williams in 2016".

Audi motorsport boss Wolfgang Ullrich has played down the continued speculation linking the German manufacturer with a move into F1

Force India team principal Vijay Mallya is confident of keeping an unchanged Formula 1 line-up of Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg for 2016.
Nico Hulkenberg celebrated signing a two-year contract extension with Force India by taking a spin in a Porsche 911 GT3 RS.


Nico Hulkenberg was the first active F1 driver in 2015 to win Le Mans for 24 years.
