They don't want to lose Bottas as they have no one to develop the new car. The odds are if Bottas goes, then they will have Wehrlein as the second driver and he only has one years experience(although he has a bit of test experience with Mercedes) and a rookie in the other seat.
But I think all will be worked out and Bottas will go to Merc, it's the only deal that really makes sense even if it would be nice to see Sainz get the drive (or any of the big 4, but they definitely aren't going to happen). |

http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2016/12/1...ideo-reviewed/ Not with the title, which is as shite as ever. In keeping with the DVD content itself, by the sounds of it. |

I would have preferred a proper, long-form in-depth interview with the World Champion, but it appears FOM has sided with this 'cute' crap which has very little substance... I hope they give us proper fans something to compensate it with...

Perhaps they should produce a montage of celeb-only reaction shots too. |

This is one of the few times FOM have done something that has gone down very well with fans and you're actually disagreeing with opinion on that as well! Unbelievable Jeff.

I place fake 8-bit videos in the same category I do as celeb-only reaction shots: Irrelevant nonsense whose popularity I can't fathom. To me they're the same.
On the other hand the celebrity reaction shots deliberately stop us seeing the actual racing, usually at absolutely crucial moments and for no justifiable reason. It wouldn't be the same people producing that animation as would interview a WDC anyway so it won't have lost us anything. |

http://www.formula1.com/en/video/201...on_Review.html Can remember playing racing games that looked and sounded like that when they first come out. Well actually, can remember playing on racing games that were nothing more than a cabinet with a steering wheel turning a little model car from left to right to avoid other cars that you moved towards you on a painted wooden wheel as you tried to pass them - or not. Could be a good simulator for overtaking Max. Was it just me still waiting at the end to find out whether Mercedes pick Wehrlein or Bottas ?

My only gripe with the 8-bit review is the unrealistic fast loading times.
![]() (I should add the only 8-bit console I ever owned was the Game Boy Pocket. Many happy days playing V-Rally.)
