While the action continues in Barcelona, Renault has announced that Sergey Sirotkin will be its reserve driver in 2019.

Would Sirotkin have had to bring some money to Renault to get this job???[/quote]

What do you think? :-).... Russians stipulated they want to be involved with a team with prospect.

Sirotkin: "It's hard to talk about Williams' situation. I still have a lot of friends there. I know how much work I've done on a development of this car. I wish them best of luck."

You can say whatever you want about Sirotkin. But during his spell at our team he never talked bad about the team. And still doesnt despite his sacking being a surprise to him. Something Stroll can learn from.

Wait and see if the SMP logos appear on the car, I'd guess so.

Not necessarily, I think. Renault is a car mnufacturer, they have enough money. They are certainly not dependent on money support from drivers like us.

Now they not, but two years ago Palmer was a pay driver.

I think they took Palmer not because they had to for the budget but because they knew they wouldn't be competitive so early after taking over that mess from Lotus and there weren't many good drivers on the market.

I think we should all only wish the best for Sirotkin. By all accounts, he gave Williams his very best effort last year and still doesn’t have a bad word to say about the team. I wasn’t at all happy when he was given the drive last year, amid reports that SMP Racing was owned by people with close connections to Putin, but I have nothing but admiration for how Sirotkin himself approached the job. He was given an uncompetitive car and worked his tail off to make the most of it while never complaining.

None of this is to say that I am not much happier to have Robert in the car instead, but that has everything to do with what kind of driver and person a I think he is and not any ill feelings or judgments concerning Sirotkin. I think Sirotkin is a good driver and a good guy.

Same. I rate him highly, I'd love to see him have a midfield car and am sad we weren't able to provide him one

agreed about Sirotkin. Never a wrong word. True gentleman.

Wish him all the best.

Rosberg 28 February, 2019 15:29
same here, I quite like Sirotkin after last year.

wish him well in the future and hopefully one day return to the F1 grid.

Sirotkin is a good guy.

Too bad most of his money was spent on the FW41. Not the best investment. And then being unceremoniously kicked out. Ouch. Having a kind word for Williams makes him look so so decent. Almost intolerably so.

I'd rather Williams not be thought of with kindness by ex employees. Place a picture of Sergei on the factory floor and you'll warm the engineers' hearts. But place a picture of the Strolls and they'll work overtime.

Excelent Pictures. Well done Team Willy and RK!

On another note, that hoodie looks awesome, I think I'll be getting one.
