kimi should retire from the sport. I think we have seen enough from him based on his performance so far in ferrari. He is no longer a strong race driver. He can do respectable in qualifying, but lacks the consistency to reproduce fast laps over a race distance.
I would take Perez out of the equation from Renault, as i think he has a good chance of the ferrari drive.
I am more inclined to think that Sainz, or Kyvat or Nasr would be knocking on Renault's front door.
Buemi or Vergne may also try to put a foot in.
For Sure!!

Mclaren and Renault have similar potential for 2018 in terms of PU prospect,budget prospect but Mclaren has a lot better aero and chassis potential(human resources)....Alonso better off staying in Mclaren, during Lotus days soooo many good aero people have left Enstone.
I agree with the fact that McLaren should be stronger, their aero package is more developed though in 2019-2020 Renault should be fighting for big things again.

Where did you hear that?

EDIT: Found this: http://en.f1i.com/news/269112-monaco-pa ... nault.html

While on the topic of driver change, I do remember a particular quote from Abiteboul. Found it at Autosport:
In his first Red Bull start, Verstappen then underlined his burgeoning talent by becoming the youngest winner in F1 history.

Acknowledging the 18-year-old Dutchman's feat, as well as Red Bull's policy with its drivers, Abiteboul told Autosport: "It is absolutely amazing.

"We are not really surprised because we worked with him when he was at Toro Rosso last year, and I've always been extremely impressed.

"But more than that we're impressed by the strategy of Red Bull overall, their capacity to go extreme, go for a target, the best, whatever it takes, whatever people will think.

"After all the criticism they are giving a big lesson to Formula 1, so we are going to use that also for our own benefit."

It will not be good to continue with hulkenberg in 2018. If there is alonso-hulkenberg association, it will be obvious. Hulk is not a good pilot #-o

Why? The guy has made one mistake all season, and he's been rapid!

What are you saying???? #-o

Hulkenberg has been fast and consistent through the season, bringing many points. This was his first mistake and he was doing a fine job(again) before it.
