Wherlein has a seat!! Brilliant!
could this be a step closer to Manor becoming the Merc B team?

Manor IS sort of a Merc B team aren't they? Since Ferrari have their B team with Virgin after all those windtunnel scandals, Merc apparently made their own shady deals with Manor and Wehrlein being confirmed is further confirmation of the alliance.
If Manor are up to scratch and Wehrlein impresses, Nico will need to stock up on energy drinks. (cuz he'll be sweating more....uknowwhatimsayin)

Translation, Mercedes engines at a discount. Anyway, glad he's on, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Hoping it's American.

So it's happenned. They were asking for about 9 mil for Haryanto to stay in the seat I believe?
I feel quite sorry for him, he wasn't particularly rated at the outset against Wherlein but I thought he did pretty well.
It will be intriguing ti see how Ocon and Wherlein stack up. Mercedes checking out their next driver?

He couldn't parley the name Rio into anything? Seriously?
Alexander Rossi said he turned it down, I'm sure they went down the list until the default Mercedes Ocon option kicked in. Mercedes should just step it up and make them a B team already. Hire Allison and send Costa down there to work on their 2017 car until they build up a little more on their engineering roster.

I thought Rio did okay considering he barely driven a F1 till this season. Pascal didn't really put Rio away as much as I thought he would. I was expecting Rio to be Yuji Ide 2.0. Pascal overrated?? Rio too much underrated?? A bit of both??
Anyway with Ocon coming in it will be interesting to see how it pans out as RC said.

Ron Dennis is considering buying the team with possible backing from a Chinese group and a possible eye to have Honda engines in the future.

A Chinese Japanese alliance, that's indeed sports crossing all political borders.

I hope he makes a go of it. I know Dennis can be an old goat at times. But I sorry the way his team was taken from him.
