# pseudo quail How

they are so absorbed in presenting their legacy, they have forgot to be versatile and adaptable with the market overtime.. you should always have to brainstorm all the possible brand touchpoints and possible scenarios where their brand identity would be visible or used, nd in which context..

anything which hampers the credibility of brand image in target audience's eyes is bad for a brand.. such as how current rules are making HP look bad in general.. they are big tech corpo.. they should know how to do their job, yet they are making such dumb decisions like redundant logo placement on suits and awkward looking logos on the team they are sponsoring as a title sponsor. Cant even does such minute task properly.

pseudo quail
#

They did think about the logos when handing over the 100 million payments

#

I’m sure it’s on purpose, if not last year then this year for sure

#

It’s making a lot of people talk about it. Not even ibm gets as much talk and their logo has blended in more than hp does. There’s people just paid full time to market hp

McLaren didn’t change jack shit

then they decided to rip off mercedes with the bulls on the back to try and make it look better

but they were trying to save something past the point of any feasible return

#

Eh I liked it

#

Opinions vary

full ridge
#

maybe it'd be somewhat decent if it was a normal yellow colour

#

instead of american mustard

#

Or if they had like

#

any colour at all

#

It's just the Alpine A524 but instead of black it's white

#

it's boring to look at and I don't like it

spare heart
#

am i the only one that doesn't like the new ferrari livery?

neat latch
#

No

#

Hp ruins the whole thing like always

#

Anyone who rates that thing a 10/10 is biased for Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton

#

Imo this is the worst looking Ferrari of these regulations

#

@full ridge you make no sense

vocal lynx
#

I mean its not terrible, it’s just just that bold white stripe. I feel like they could’ve used the white in other places

#

Like the white accents they used on the race suits couldve been applied to the car in the same style

pseudo quail
#

The white helps blend the hp logo imo

#

i like the alpha tauri livery the best and yes i know they’re not alpha tauri anymore but thats what im gonna call of them

coarse obsidian
pseudo quail
#

Well sure but the Ferrari livery was designed to highlight the hp logo

#

Which is why it’s blue

#

And the white goes well with the blue logo

woven sun

best livery

#

They aren’t going to drop the blue logo anyway

Doesn’t alpine drop the bwt pink after the first races anyway

in my opinion at least

Hopefully McLaren pulled a Redbull rb20 with their design

But rb already had problems with their 23 car

Maybe the 24 McLaren was also problematic?

And that’s why lando didn’t win it

the starts were the problems

I was just joking

They probably will improve

Btw guys don’t overreact to pre season testing board

#

Last year sauber was 3rd and max was 5th

#

And we all know how good the sauber was

cyan saffron
#

Well, it's testing, it's even less representative than practices.

#

And even practices aren't representative at all.

#

The only thing you can take away from testing is smooth running is a good sign, car issues is a bad sign.

Testing!!

Testing in Wednesday

neat latch
#

That's what you really have to pay attention to

cyan saffron
#

yeah

neat latch
#

Teams reactions/what teams say is the most important imo, they sometimes straight up just say the truth, where they are and where others are

cyan saffron
#

Well, they obviously don't know where exactly the others are as they don't know their run plans, fuel load etc but yeah, they at least know where they are.

#

Or well, if they don't, that's a bad sign.

neat latch
#

Well toto 2023 definitely knew where Aston was

#

Ahead

cyan saffron
#

And didn't know where they were as they just didn't understand their car.

neat latch
#

Yeah

cyan saffron
#

That's like when you know a team is in trouble, if they don't understand their car.

neat latch

I miss those days

Man i think hope Aston are good this year, i don't got this 14 beside my name for nothing

Testing Predictions:

  • A team sand bags to make themselves look worse (McLaren or Ferrari)
  • A lower team does glory runs and over performs (Williams)
  • At least 2 rookies crash

SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD CHANGE

#

oops caps my bad, I wasnt that excited ahaha

neat latch
#

Man f2 so bad that some drivers that just jump to F1 peform better in F1 than in f2

#

Something might be wrong with f2 tbh, it's not working as a reference anymore

#

Like now you have to wait until a driver is in F1 to see their worth, everything that happens in f2 seems irrelevant now

dusty peak
#

Pre season testing tommorow 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

wet sequoia
#

Some drivers get the F1 car that moulds them better then the F2 car

#

Drivers like Kimi and Bearman have also had long term testing in F1 cars so they naturally know what to expect, Colapinto done abit last year before his temp promotion

cyan saffron
#

Franco actually hadn't any testing at all.

#

The FP1 in Silverstone was his 1st time in a F1 car.

neat latch
#

It doesn't help that f2 isn't exactly equal as people claim

wet sequoia
#

Could have sworn he did more, sims probably

wet sequoia
neat latch
#

Well I've heard components are not exactly the same for every f2 car

wet sequoia
#

They’re the same but quality is different

cyan saffron
#

The cars itself are equal but engines are different and also car setups make a huge difference and that's where the team makes a huge difference.

neat latch
#

I think the ideal scenario is that one rookie F1 race that was proposed for last year, it will probably come back and will happen eventually, maybe this year who knows

cyan saffron
#

Yeah, it's planned for this year.

neat latch
#

Good, it's going to be really interesting

cyan saffron
#

Last year it was too short term brought up to get it started.

wet sequoia
#

Plus after season testing was already arranged

neat latch
#

I honestly think it's a really good idea because it gives us and the teams a more accurate reference

wet sequoia
#

Hardly

#

The Red Bull and McLaren academy drivers would win

neat latch
#

I mean in times

wet sequoia
#

F1 isn’t spec though, all the cars are engineered differently

neat latch
#

I wonder if it will be planned out as a race weekend with practice qualifying and such

wet sequoia
#

The F2 drivers attached to the better F1 teams will have much better odds of winning then those in a Sauber or an Alpine

woven rapids
#

tomorrow pre-season!

#

can't wait to see the cars on track!

wet sequoia
#

12 hours of aero racks and tyre management!

neat latch
#

Emphasis on teams because they get to compare them with their actual drivers

#

Is what i mean

wet sequoia
#

Well there are problems already

#

Haas has no academy

#

And other teams don’t invest into their academy drivers to much

#

Alpine for example

neat latch
wet sequoia
#

More likely pull Miyata who is with Toyota

cyan saffron
#

That's what Haas does.

wet sequoia
#

Since that is now a potential future option

neat latch
#

Well they can still get a drive, i don't see how not having an academy is a problem for haas

#

They can just call up Ferrari and now toyota

wet sequoia
#

That’s why

cyan saffron
#

Racing Bulls don't have an academy as well.

#

So they also have to go for Red Bull's drivers.

neat latch
cyan saffron
#

Yeah, MoneyGram brought quite some money in.

wet sequoia
#

Racing Bulls are just Red Bull junior so that’s not quite the case

neat latch
#

This is the HAAS era, doom is upon us

wet sequoia
#

You still can’t establish an academy in a year either

#

By the end of the next regulations era Haas will probably be fused with TGR and leave their Ferrari ties

neat latch
#

Where did i say that they would stablish a driver academy

wet sequoia
#

Regardless having the F2 drivers race in F1 cars won’t be a equal contest

#

And you still have the potential issue of the car not being a natural fit for the drivers

#

It definitely does get more F2 drivers experience in F1 cars over testing and FP1

neat latch
#

I also never said that it would be equal, i just said that i would work as a reference for teams

wet sequoia
#

Still a list of variables that would bomb the driver when they enter the car

#

On top of experience with drivers who spent A WHOLE YEAR adapting and co-developing the cars

neat latch
#

Imagine if we get more than one rookie races a year

wet sequoia
#

One test is a shitty comparison, you need 3

neat latch
#

3 at the end of the year

wet sequoia
#

No, 3 races at 3 different tracks

#

Throughout the year

#

3 races at Abu Dhabi is just a waste of resources

neat latch
#

Hm

#

The F1 rookie championship

#

I can feel the excitement of fom, thinking about the money

wet sequoia
#

Sounds like a loss

#

Because after the F1 race a lot of people have to work and act like adults

neat latch
#

Ok 3 races a year

pseudo quail
neat latch
#

You gotta find those spots in the calendar

wet sequoia
neat latch
neat latch
wet sequoia
#

You have the added logistics, the prize pools, staffing and the list goes on

#

And the acceptance of all the F1 teams on top of that

neat latch
#

That's why andretti were having a hard time entering, because the sport itself didn't want them for some reason

wet sequoia
#

You are aware the FIA are not dictators yet

#

And yes they did reject him a number of times

#

It wasn’t until he proved he could put the resources into place that the FIA even considered him

neat latch
#

So whoever the next team is, they will have an easier time, because they're not andretti

pseudo quail
#

Cadillac got through pretty quickly once they dropped the Andretti name

wet sequoia
#

Has Andretti ever been involved in scandals though?

#

Because I know one of the reasons was they wanted more car brands involved despite it being public knowledge they’d use GM engines soon after entering

pseudo quail
#

Not sure about scandals

#

What does that have anything to do though ?

wet sequoia
#

Because Andretti had everything set for a F1 team done, the second he trades the team name for Cadillac stamp of approval

pseudo quail
#

Just the Andretti name having less of a draw than Cadillac

wet sequoia
#

More like does the Andretti name bring anything bad to a sport on the rise

pseudo quail
#

Doubt it

#

But it didn’t bring enough apparently

wet sequoia
#

If that was an issue names like Haas and Williams would have been removed

pseudo quail
#

Those were from before this mindset anyway

wet sequoia
#

Even though Williams is last century and Haas got in before the current FIA administration

pseudo quail
#

They aren’t forcing teams out

#

Too much to lose

wet sequoia
#

Never quite said that

#

They’d just be forced to change names

pseudo quail
#

Well their names don’t matter anymore

wet sequoia
#

Eh, still a curious thing

pseudo quail
#

They’re looking at Cadillac without really reflecting on current team names/structures

#

There seemed to be some beef between Maffei and Andretti but not sure how big of a factor that was

wet sequoia
#

And that goes back to the question of is there any drama with the Andretti name coming into F1

pseudo quail
#

Officially they’d say no

#

Don’t know if we’ll ever find out

crude flame
#

Because Michael Andretti was a moron and pissed everyone off in F1
