Now that is a surprise, he must think Red Bull are going to be really pants with Honda engines next year.

I seem to remeber reading that Adrian Newey was going to be cutting back his involvement and input into the team and car, Perhaps thats part of his thinking, along with not being Verstappens no2.

Thought he may have been convinced to stay and see at least 1 year with Honda, but looks like he’s been spooked. Renault I imagine have made some pretty serious commitment to get him to sign.

More importantly, hope force India can get sorted and get the support needed to see the season out. Then I suspect an American group may come in for them.

He already has, certainly on a week to week basis anyway. But you're correct in that it may be even further from next season too. Although again the challenge of a new engine and new specs soon to come may keep his interest.

Possible. its reported that Sergio Perez triggered the teams administration so there's a good chance he won't be there next season, assuming there is a next season for them. I really hope there is, definitely the 'fan friendliest' team on the grid

Apparently Force India asked him to do it so they could stay in business/racing. Read this on the BBC somewhere.

On the bright side (for him anyway) at least he won't have to do any more shoey's after this season for a while ;)

Don't believe he was too fussed...
But, I suspect those he expected to join him in the 'experience' will be mightily relieved...
Hopefully we'll get to see him on the top step after he's moved on...
Top bloke!

Fernando calls it a day...

Jeepers... Know he's got other ambitions but thought F1 was still his main interest...

Bored driving round nowhere near the sharp end. Verstappen will be No.1 at Red Bull next year and no vacancies at Mercedes or Ferrari for him so no opportunity for him to get a competitive car in the near to medium term.

Totally understandable, assuming he already has an Indy Car contract lined up for next season which will be announced in due course.

Vettel and Verstappen melting as usual.

But not this.

Mercedes had the benefit of 'Team' with Bottas to hold up Kimi, though I don't think he actually needed it - I think he would have passed Kimi eventually anyway with Kimi's tyre degredation.

Actually the best F1 race I've watched in quite some time!
