I am very sorry if you find my posts long and boring, I like to type and often go off on a tangent.

I know right? I was wondering if I'd unknowingly done this as an abusive mod-edit while sleeping. But no.

And Joe Saward is reporting that Palmer is an option for Williams. Urgh! I need a vomiting emoji.

sorry, I will stop it now.

Seriously speaking, Palmer has been underwhelming - and the junior series were a sign of things to come: he only claimed the GP2 crown after three years, in a very mediocre field and with the best backing.
You could argue he should have been given a chance in F1: and indeed, he has been given many (arguable a season too much even).

I apologise for my Palmer trolling. Time for a driver deserving of a seat in a quite competitive team (although I don't believe Sainz is that man).

If Palmer gets that Williams seat ahead of Wehrlein, it's a disgrace.

Edit: @PTRACER - can we add that vomiting emoji to the library? We might need it as Silly season moves forward.

I cant see that happening.... difficult to become a team leader when the #2 has more points, better qualifying record, more racecraft, more backing, and more talent.
To put it into perspective, Stroll, the #2 at Williams, has as many podium finishes and front row starts as Palmer has points. :wink:

Edited to include quote my comment referred to, to avoid any confusion

Reading through Joe Saward's user comments section of his blog he's clarified that he didn't say Palmer was an option for Williams, he's saying Palmer should be an option for Williams. Martini has a requirement that one of the two Williams drivers must be over the age of 25, so that rules out Wehrlein.

So Wehrlein might be out of F1 because he's not 25? Oh jeez. If that's the case- get Kubica that seat.

Well, I am over 25, and I'd drive better than Palmer.
