Re: The 2017 US GP Thread
This weekend sees the end of year driver shuffle in full force.
Sainz moves from Toro Rosso to Renault
Kvyat gets a recall back to the Toro Rosso
Brendon Hartley gets a start in the Toro Rosso
Jolyon Palmer gets the boot from Renault.
Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes have a mortgage on this race and I don't think it will stop.
Sebastian Vettel needs a change of luck but will not be enough to change the result.
Valtteri Bottas should fill the final podium position.
