Ναι. Από πού είχε βγει το παρατσούκλι;
Μηπως επειδη οι Αγγλαρες τον ελεγαν οτι θα γινει ο νεος πρωταθλητης;!
Lewis Hamilton says it would be a "privilege" to have Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo as a Formula 1 teammate should the situation arise in the future.
It should not.
WILLIAMS MARTINI RACING is pleased to confirm it will run Robert Kubica and Sergey Sirotkin for the Abu Dhabi Pirelli tyre test, alongside current race driver Lance Stroll.
The Pirelli tyre test will take place over two days at the Yas Marina circuit during the week following the 2017 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
On day one Robert Kubica will drive the FW40 in the morning session, before Lance Stroll takes over in the afternoon. On day two Sergey Sirotkin will drive in the morning and afternoon sessions before handing over to Robert in the late afternoon.
The test is aimed at evaluating 2018 candidate tyres on behalf of the Formula One tyre supplier Pirelli. Williams is excited to have this opportunity to assess the new tyres across such an interesting range of drivers: Lance, as confirmed race driver for 2018, Robert with his huge experience, and Sergey as a very promising young talent in Formula One.

Sergey Sirotkin has emerged as the favourite to drive for Williams in 2018, with Robert Kubica no longer in the frame, Motorsport.com has learned.
Williams has spent the last week evaluating data gathered during the Abu Dhabi Pirelli test, where it ran Sirotkin and Kubica.
Kubica had been favourite to make a sensational return to F1, with Williams impressed by his feedback and the way he fitted into the team and built up strong relationships.
However, it has emerged that based on pure performance, data suggests Sirotkin is the stronger candidate.
Williams has insisted throughout the process that its decision on the driver to partner Lance Stroll next season will be based on performance.
Talks with the 22-year-old Russian, who has performed reserve duties for Renault this year, are now at an advanced stage.
However, it is believed there are several details yet to be ironed out before the final contract is signed.
It is believed Sirotkin brings substantial backing with him, understood to be in the region of £15 million, from Russia’s SMP Racing, which was founded by Boris Rotenberg, who controls SMP Bank.
Should the deal fall through, former Toro Rosso and Red Bull driver Daniil Kvyat is believed to be the back-up option.
However, it is believed Kubica is no longer in contention for the race seat, ending his hopes of returning to the grid for the first time since 2010.
Motorsport.com understands Williams reserve Paul di Resta, who stood in for the injured Felipe Massa in Hungary this year, is also out of the running.
Williams is remaining tight-lipped and not making any official comment regarding its 2018 driver line-up.

Όχι, σε όλους έτσι φαίνεται.
By the way o Sirotkin ήταν ταχύτερος του Kubica στις δοκιμές που έκαναν μετά το Abu Dhabi...
