Some changes to sprint races..
Initially the commercial folks wanted 6 but they're still being negotiated down by teams- likely 3 only. The sprint races will now be standalone races, qualifying will decide the race grid again, *not* the sprint race result. Points allocation will change from 3, 2, 1 points last year to 8 points for the winner, 7, 6 etc down to the 8th finisher with 1 point. It's a true mini independent race now... |
Fenders
What's the purpose of the little front fenders on these new cars?? I know it's kind of a stupid question, but baffles me.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1644865288.jpg

Williams signs a long term sponsorship deal with Duracell . I think they unveil the car tomorrow , will be interesting to see if it has a black/copper theme .

^ If those are all at the same scale, then the cars are really huge now.

but just a guess |
there was a BIG push to limit bad air off the leading car to not allow the car behind to get close
without lost of D/F and resulting tyre degrading reports are they are better the new cars can be a lot closer may 1 car not under that but not as good as indy cars with their tightly controlled airo bits |
Mark your calendars, get your slippers and sweatpants ready.
Drive to Survive premiers on March 11. |

Michael Masi has been offered a different position within F1 and is out as race director. Edit: I believe it is Masi offered new position within FIA
Plus, VAR like nonsense coming to F1. The end is near. https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/michael-masi-dropped-as-f1-race-director-after-fia-investigation/8254002/ |
The F1-75 looks pretty good.

The William's new livery is nice too... I'm just afraid of how my fav alpine is gonna look with BWT pink, UGH Now that they're moved Masi out of the way I hope the British press can move on, stuff's getting old... |

IIRC you have F1 TV. Are the announcers neutral or pro Hamilton like on Sky? I find Damon Hill to be one of the worst. |
The Brits and their press are totally addicted to drama. They love to create and stoke controversy where there was none.
And wow, the Ferrari: If all of this stuff works, then it's going to be quick <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ryXs0Lhmy10" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> |

Think I'm alone in loving the new shaped cars, so much cleaner, less aero clutter and all the better for it :cool:
Pick of the bunch so far for me is easily the Ferrari F1-75, looks stunning, wishing everyone at Maranello a few race wins but not too many Loving the 2022 black banded steel wheel look but Ferrari really need to get some BBS gold mesh wheel graphics on their car Exclusive PPOT rumour news, I was told by a F1 technical director (not Binotto) Ferrari will be the team to beat, makes a lot of sense as last years neck and neck championship fight will have weakened both Mercedes and Red Bull's focus on the 2022 rule changes, won't be too long before we find out for real http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1645227250.jpg Hass could be the dark horse this year with a reasonable climb up the grid, the technical side has been significantly strengthened with a very strong leadership team, lots of good Ferrari people have transferred across, my old boss (best boss I've ever had), a few ex-colleagues/friends from my Ferrari F1 skunks works days and a very experience aero head I know well Interesting article linking Porsche with Redbull when the new engine regs are introduced. If this partnership is confirmed think I'll try to get in on the fun, would be very cool to be part of a Porsche race car project ;) https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/porsche-red-bull-partnership-latest/8275245/ Mercedes and McLaren look like super model sized but the Aston Martin looks like a size 16 :eek: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1645225829.jpg My F1 work stops end of this month but will race on until the end of 2025 so I'll carry on rooting for Red Bull and Alpha Tauri until I'm trying to beat them working somewhere else :confused: |
