[rare ferry]

Like in Jeddah there were 2 red flags and one of them were because Schumacher was in the wall in an unsafe spot, Latifi was in the barrier in an unsafe spot

Linking those 2 incidences, it would've made sense

and thus no complaints

thats my view on how it should've been handled but you may think otherwise

[crude kiln]

Yeah I've always said too that a red flag would've been best. Wouldn't surprise me if they implement that more this season.

But I'm against changing tyres during a red flag. That's a waaaaay too big advantage.

[rare ferry]

In this incident you gotta allow tyre swaps right?

44 lap hard tyres

Max with fresh soft rubber

[crude kiln]

No we can't hand out charity to some. Would be just as controversial 😅 No swapping tyres under red flags.

[rare ferry]

Ok in a general sense, yes no tyre swaps under red flags

[crude kiln]

If they know that rule before it's fine I think.

[rare ferry]

Ill give that an upvote

[crude kiln]

[crude kiln]

Wow that's a good looking car! Amazing imo.

[opal galleon]

Obviously it’s not the offical car, but the car has tones of holes on the engine cover. I wonder if they did that for aerodynamic purpose. Or the new Mercedes’ engine is getting overheated so much.

[hazy nest]

I guess holes are giving it some extra downforce

Just saw Albon and Latifi reaction to seeing their livery for the first time and it sounded like it will be vastly different from last season 👀

[heavy raven]

new aston looks clean af

[dapper wagon]

That's how the livery should of been last season to go along with their GT cars. Looks good.

[heady sonnet]

Looks good

Let’s see Mclaren tomorrow

At least it’s not the mule car fully this time

Bwt alpine F1

Nice 😂 we might have a pink Renault now

Alpine has committed to use BWT’s iconic pink branding to spread the message of sustainability and social responsibility further around the world, utilising the combined global platforms of Formula 1 and the automotive industry. The pink colour symbolises BWT’s mission to ’Change the World – sip by sip‘ and to make it a little bit better every day by implementing the Bottle Free Zone concept.

[rare ferry]

Oh dont say that, please for the love of god dont say that

[rare ferry]

Oh no no no this is 100% so not right

Never in my life did I expect pink renault

That's like having cereal but you put the milk in first

its just not right

[crude kiln]

I don't mind really. Think pink can be a cool colour.

Bahrain renewed till 2036 btw! Usually my fav race so I don't complain.

[rare ferry]

Just want sepang back on the calendar

Is anyone going to Bahrain for the GP btw?

[crude kiln]

Agree 100%. That was one of my fav tracks too. Maybe the fav. Also like China so hope that race doesn't get cancelled for the 3rd year in a row.

[rare ferry]

Bahrain, Malaysia, China, Italy (Imola) , Monaco, Azerbaijan, Germany (Hockenheim), Britain, Austria, Hungary, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy (Monza), Singapore, Japan, USA (CotA), Mexico, Brazil, Bahrain (Sakhir outer circuit), Abu Dhabi.

I think that is a well rounded calendar that I hope would be used at some point

Feel free to make an input

[crude kiln]

Yeah I like Hockenheim alot. Also liked the track in India. Many good tracks gone and we mostly get to hear "it's hard to overtake here" about the new tracks that get added instead.

[rare ferry]

India was only removed cause the government were asking for too much money and there were a bit too much political inputs

Much like Malaysia

Both were well rounded tracks, but lost cause of greed

[crude kiln]

Hope they can come back..

[rare ferry]

At the current state its highly unlikely my friend

You're still free to go to them, but for F1 events, doesn't seem to be possible

Nice changes. Having more point scoring positions for the sprint should increase the action, if the new cars can race. Plus, I'll take a sprint race no matter how boring over a practice session.

Weren’t they going to give us 5 this year?

Hope i'm not Trumping this. LoL

[heavy raven]

blue car baybeeeee

[heady sonnet]

Looks nice

Too many dark cars jeez

I’m actually looking forward to the pink alpine now

[opal galleon]

I have my confident on Williams. They are good when it comes to aerodynamic, these new regulations should suite them. The livery looks nice as well.

[opal galleon]

🤮

[heavy raven]

the reveal trailer really makes the car look like it'll look amazing in the night races

[jaunty cave]

Just saw it now

Just wow. Totally different

[heady sonnet]

When they started showing the blue white yellow one I actually thought they might go for it

But nope 😦

I like it but we have already too many blue cars

And quite a few dark ones also

[ruby linden]

That would've been SO cool.

[opal galleon]

I do believe they are dark now but when outside and the sun is shining it’s going to reflect and look cooler

[crude kiln]

Yes me too 😭 Been wanting that for years. Boring car now imo. Good looking but just dark blue basically.

[heavy raven]

id say there's too many blue cars but so far they're a lot more different than last years tbh

just depends on that alpine really

at have the navy/white combo and williams have the brighter shade with the red trims

i wouldnt call the red bull a blue car fyi

[ruby linden]

Another livery "stolen" from F1 clash‽

[heavy raven]

similar

not as blatant as last years tho

LOL

that livery in the game makes me think toro rosso tbh

[heady sonnet]

Time to copy it 😂

[ruby linden]

Still my favourite.

[heady sonnet]

Still the best yes

[ruby linden]

If only we could customize our own liveries.
F1 teams would steal much more frequently. LoL

[rare ferry]

WE NEED SPONSORS

[rare ferry]

We be rolling around with first season my team liveries lmao

[ruby linden]

Hahhaa yea.

Still waiting on that one Hutch bot livery, we somehow can't buy.

[rare ferry]

Id rather wait for sponsors to come in, and we can just make the livery more realistic and fit in with the grid

[jaunty cave]

I liked it but blue is dominating..

I wonder alpine now which colour

[rare ferry]

Pink

[jaunty cave]

Pink?? 😆

[heady sonnet]

Bwt main sponsor

Media report said they will use the iconic pink color

So very likely it’ll have more than a splash of pink

[rare ferry]

I believe its a gradient

From pink at the back to light blue at the front

[rare ferry]

Lmao turns out that wasn't the real FW44

The new Williams will be shown at Silverstone

[heady sonnet]

M?

Was or was not

Because I’m sure at the start the guy said “welcome to the Williams 22 livery reveal”

[rare ferry]

That was the spec car

Real one is going to be revealed at Silverstone

[heady sonnet]

Then I didn’t mishear it 😂

[rare ferry]

;-;

[heady sonnet]

I’m starting to think even Alfa won’t show the real car now

[rare ferry]

Alfa aren't showing the real car until Pre season testing I believe

[heady sonnet]

It’s after the first test

But at this rate I doubt even then we’ll see the real car

[rare ferry]

It'll be shown in testing a week before Bahrain

GP

[heady sonnet]

Officially the reveal is on the 27th, 2 days after the Barcelona test though

For Alfa that is

[rare ferry]

Yeah, so we will see it in action in Bahrain testing

[heady sonnet]

Hopefully 😂

Toto just makes you half deaf

and spams you with emails

I always wondered how many emails are in the FIA's spam folder

Just random diagrams and illustrations

[dapper wagon]

No, the wheel covers are a spec part. Redbull designed them but, out sourced the production to a UK company.

[opal galleon]

Twists that suppose to mean?

[dapper wagon]

Every car will run the same wheelcovers.

Same goes for the ECUs, they're all supplied by McLaren. Have been since 06 I believe.

Stop talking show the car

Toto…..

This is not right

[fresh acorn]

YEAHH~

[opal galleon]

Looks very aerodynamic

[ruby seal]

Wow

Brilliant

[rare ferry]

I did confirm it will be silver lads

[heady sonnet]

The Ferrari looks better

[jaunty cave]

True

[opal galleon]

Tyres on the Mercedes’ is ugly

[rare ferry]

So you want it to be a hovercraft or smtin?

[heady sonnet]

The pictures on the F1 site are better

[opal galleon]

I am optimistic they will look different in test

[heady sonnet]

At least it’s not black 😂

[opal galleon]

What’s that suppose to mean

[heady sonnet]

It means that we have enough dark cars, we needed something that is a bit lighter

Apart from the pink alpine that is 😂

Even if I liked the black car from last seasons it’s better that it’s silver now

[crude kiln]

Looks sick!🔥 Glad the pics yesterday with that black nose was fake. Looked awful 😅

[rare ferry]

So what you saying lad..

I'm joking

[opal galleon]

Completely agree

[crude kiln]

And Merc is known for being silver after all.

[opal galleon]

Yes

I missed silver

[rare ferry]

'oh lads we need to add the number on the back too' 'oh 💩 you're right man' quickly adds 20 sq inch of shark fin to the back

[crude kiln]

My top 3 so far in liveries:

1 - Mercedes
2 - Aston Martin
3 - McLaren

[opal galleon]

Uhhh

You rate Mercedes’ that good?

[rare ferry]

Ferrari?

[opal galleon]

Yeah where is Ferrari

[rare ferry]

Ferrari wanted to go retro by adding the U shape on the side pods

2011 McLaren Mercedes vibes

[crude kiln]

Yeah to me it's the best looking car so far.

Ferrari I don't like. Especially the sides are ugly imo and would had needed more black to look symetric.

[rare ferry]

If you say so

[opal galleon]

Fax

[rare ferry]

Imagine if merc just slapped a load of AMG on the car

[opal galleon]

Like RB did with Oracle?

[rare ferry]

No

As in like last year

[opal galleon]

An

Ah

[rare ferry]

They slapped a load of AMG

[opal galleon]

I mean stars for them means more than having Mercedes’ and AMG on the car.

[rare ferry]

Oracle just makes Red Bull slightly less red bull-ish

[opal galleon]

I didn’t like it

[rare ferry]

Coming in 2023, slapping a load of Petronas on the car

[opal galleon]

Lol

My biggest problem so far when it comes to these cars is the tyre. So ugly especially the rims.

[heady sonnet]

You won’t notice that while it’s moving 😂

[dapper wagon]

At least show the real car, not these showcar renders 😂

[opal galleon]

I will when TV only talent is zooming in 500x on the car

[dapper wagon]

Looks like a traditional Merc should. Nice but, not my taste.

[opal galleon]

I am glad they showed the real car

After all they are very open compared to other teams so not surprising really

[rare ferry]

There's going to be changes, that isn't the final piece

The livery of course is final

the flooring and sidepods will be reworked after testing

I think

[heady sonnet]

FIA warning about flexi-floors

[rare ferry]

and wings

front and rear

[heady sonnet]

That is from last season even I believe

It was an interesting read that warning also

In summary “the teams with the sophisticated video and photography equipment they have are doing a wonderful job in policing themselves and brining our attention any irregularity they notice”

[rare ferry]

It applies this season also

[heady sonnet]

Yeah, I meant that the flexi floors is something they are going to look at and react to if Needed

As in new Thing

[rare ferry]

Of course, they don't want teams to run away with an advantage they couldn't be asked to look at

[opal galleon]

Ik, it’s always different when it comes to first gp

[heady sonnet]

Can they redesign the side pods though if needed?

Isn’t that going to be quite a lot of work?

Tunnel testing, actually making them etc?

[rare ferry]

Knowing Mercedes, they're probably capable of doing it

They can redesign if needed, but nothing major

[heady sonnet]

Lol at the alpine leak

[crude kiln]

Seems to be fake according to many

[heady sonnet]

Full pink pls

[crude kiln]

Maybe they go similar to last year and put pink where it was red 🤔

[heady sonnet]

Meh

Doubt it

They said the colors last year symbolized the French flag

And heritage blah-blah

[crude kiln]

But if you pick 1 colour that is France it's blue. So I think blue and pink will dominate.

[heady sonnet]

Too much blue on the grid

Rb - mostly blue, Williams - mostly blue, AT - mostly blue … I really don’t want another blue car 😦

[crude kiln]

Too much blue in general in sports imo 😅 Not a fav colour for me.

[heady sonnet]

They have some decent bright colors also, even though I’m not sure how it would fit pink 😂

Sunflower yellow, mercury silver, and orange feu which is quite dominant on their refreshed 2022 model

I thought the floor should be flat?

[mental nebula]

Will they ever add races to play your squad ib

[opal galleon]

Showdown and actual car is always different 🙂

[plucky ivy]

Hélio

Heloo

[strange whale]

Gotta love the silver arrows

[vapid quarry]

Too shiny. That silver reflects light on the camera shots and those adverts are hard to read on that livery.

[opal galleon]

I have seen it in silverstone test (footage) it’s quite ok if you ask me so idk what you talking about.

[vapid quarry]

That is how I see it. 🙂 Ferrari with that matte red and white texts for the adverts is easier on my eyes. personal opinions. they differ person to person

[opal galleon]

Either way F1 should be more about car not advertising so.

It shouldn’t be a problem and Mercedes’ has tons of money either way xD

[vapid quarry]

lol. are you kidding. its all about money. again personal opinion

[opal galleon]

It’s wage cap now so they probably end up with a lot more revenue than before so.

[heady sonnet]

I welcome the change

Back to silver

Now alpine needs to be light blue with pink, Alfa white primarily and I’ll be good 🙂

[opal galleon]

Pink and blue, I can’t see how that’s going to work 🤔

[heady sonnet]

Like this even if it’s fake

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/555828552390410296/944197091171926016/SPOILER_IMG_2628.jpg

I see no other variant that the alpine could be if they remain with the blue

They don’t have any (apart from maybe silver) colors that goes with pink

Orange, yellow, blue don’t go that well

[opal galleon]

At that point they can as well put a unicorn on it.

Look at it…

[heady sonnet]

Told you none of those work 😂😂😂

[mystic aurora]

"The renowned pink colour of BWT will be incorporated into Alpine’s famous blue livery" 🥳

[heady sonnet]

They said it in the press release initially

The above is new ?

[mystic aurora]

The above is from the BWT press release

[heady sonnet]

Then as I think Boba suggested above - it can only be in place of the red

Yeah, I read the release but didn’t see the image there

[mystic aurora]

That'll likely be it.
Although some fan prototypes do look great:

[heady sonnet]

Ew

[mystic aurora]

lol

[opal galleon]

🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄

See the similarities?

[heady sonnet]

We will see on Monday

But come on we had a pink Mercedes why shouldn’t we get a pink alpine 😂

[mystic aurora]

😆

[heady sonnet]

Which Michael?

Masi? 😂😂😂😂

Joking, would be good to have one more team

[ruby linden]

LoL

Marios son Michael Andretti, i'd say here. 😂

[heady sonnet]

I was joking 😂 I know it was Andretti

[ruby linden]

https://tenor.com/view/obama-eyebrows-you-sure-eyebrow-raise-yes-gif-13138984

[heady sonnet]

Yea😂 Was a joke I couldn’t miss 😉

[ruby linden]

That's fair. 😁

[fallow wasp]

when is the new saison ???

[opal galleon]

Saison?

???

[heady sonnet]

Frenglish

New season starts in Bahrain on March 20

[opal galleon]

Preseason is 10-11 March. So 3 weeks to Preseason, 4 weeks for season.

[viscid marsh]

Hello everyone im new on The server .

Also sorry for not understandeble name

I asked this what I want to do

[jaunty cave]

black samoan in my vains

Whats my Mother F**kin name

[scarlet holly]

Oof

[ruby linden]

Why, the hell?

[heady sonnet]

Apparently midfield teams - qualifying 8-10 were not happy as they deemed it better to start from 11 than be there for the tyres

“Giving too big advantage to teams that can go through with harder type tyres”

[ruby linden]

Sounds like less overtaking in races then.

[crude kiln]

Only the top team(s) benefitted from that rule and got further andvantage from it compared to the rest in top 10.

Rest mostly didn't have the margin to gamble with mediums in Q2. Was always Merc and Red Bull and mostly noone else.

[languid cipher]

Hi

Boba Fettel

I love this and this

@crude kiln what is your favourite F1 driver

[crude kiln]

I like many but if I have to pick 1 it's Alonso.

[opal galleon]

Meh Q2 tire rule dont mean that much either way. I prefer teams choosing what tyre they want to use. Than be force to choose a tyre in Q2. Better strategy if you ask me.

[opal galleon]

You all ready to see that pink car 🦄🦄🦄

[heady sonnet]

Yep

It’s funny though they scrap it

It did benefit RB and Mercedes

And now they remove it and if by some miracle they’re not 1-4 they will benefit again 😂😂

[jaunty cave]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=karVCESPeRI

Just above the quote “even if it’s fake” 😂

Alpine Launch - Starting in 15 minutes:
https://youtu.be/zPxoaKLiGBc

[opal galleon]

Not whole alot of peole are watching

[opal galleon]

🦄

[jaunty cave]

Alpine live

I got a feeling how gonna be

[vapid quarry]

less pink more blue on the costumes .. probably same for the car

[mystic aurora]

BWT splash

[opal galleon]

Meh pretty much same as last year just slapped pink on some parts

[zenith oriole]

first 2 races full pink... nice

[jaunty cave]

Probably they got some ideas

[opal galleon]

It dont blend in 🤔

[jaunty cave]

So they have 2 cars

How's going to do with both cars? Different colours

[zenith oriole]

i also got an idea it would be nice if they inverted the colors on second car... so one more blue other more pink

[jaunty cave]

Will they use both?

[fresh acorn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJmzZsbBFUs

[heady sonnet]

It’s a good idea but I don’t think that’s possible

Both cars have to be same color afaik

[upbeat wedge]

Great to have force India back on the grid🤨

[jaunty cave]

Alpine colours

I liked them

[heady sonnet]

Too blue imo

Pink one as default please

[opal galleon]

Looks ugly

[heady sonnet]

In pink it’s not too bad 😂

[opal galleon]

They should rather have fully pink and the Alpine logo at the back blue. As mercedes did last year.

[heady sonnet]

https://i.redd.it/gmiiq559p8j81.jpg

[opal galleon]

On top looks good

[heady sonnet]

That’s why I said it should be the default one

[opal galleon]

Can teams customize wheel covers? They look so ugly, i prefer seeing the rims.

[native nacelle]

Wassup

[dapper wagon]

I told you this the other day. Redbull designed them for all teams as a spec part.

If they go ahead with the LEDs in the covers it might be better

[opal galleon]

That dont say much. I am simply asking if teams go ahead and customise it. Its not particularly identical when you look at other teams.

[dapper wagon]

They can't make custom ones. Redbull have designed them for all teams. Same as every teams ECU is supplied by McLaren.

[heady sonnet]

And they are not identical ? So Red Bull made slight variations?

[opal galleon]

But they are not identical thats my points….

Teams has different ones.

How can you design something but its not same for everyone. That means it has been customise for their “likings”

[dapper wagon]

Probably because no one is running the official ones yet

[heady sonnet]

Would make sense, thank you Flash

[dapper wagon]

From the last tweet I read a few weeks ago, they wanted to test a few different variations of the covers to see which would be "better"

[opal galleon]

I wondering because, the wheel covers dont look anywhere as nice as the render version.

[opal galleon]

I just hope my dreams comes true. Slap Leds on them and a screen

[dapper wagon]

They do have Led versions they wanted to test. Not sure we will see it though.

[opal galleon]

I cant imagine lightning tyres in dark places like Bahrain

[heady sonnet]

Why leds on them though?

[heady sonnet]

Leds on cars ew

[dapper wagon]

They wanted to see what information could be displayed to help fans trackside. They could light up in qualifying showing the drivers sectors (green, purple etc) red for in/out laps.

[jaunty cave]

When’s the new season going to start of f1 clash

[plucky sparrow]

may

[opal galleon]

Wrong channel, this is for real f1 talks. But it should be in may.

[crude kiln]

Saw a vote yesterday where 63% thought Masi had been unfairly treated. 37,5k voters.

[mystic aurora]

His first season in the position was relatively uneventful, but his second season has seen the most errors - that certainly wouldn't help

[opal galleon]

And then third season disaster

Uh?

He has been around since 2019 aint that 3 seasons?

[mystic aurora]

Yup. Think so

[opal galleon]

I feel like Christian H is capping.

I saw the podcast as well. So much stuff that has been unfair especially for his side. And then suddenly everything is ok with Masi whuut.

[mystic aurora]

Wonder what the new FIA position will be for Masi - Horner might be keeping good relations for the future.

[opal galleon]

Outside F1

The president of FIA said its going to be whole new race control management also they are going to use “VAR” now also they are going to change swap between 2 Race directors.

[mystic aurora]

Yeah, had seen that - Niels Wittich, the race director during a more farcical title decider than F1, DTM, will be co-race director. Ha.

[opaque crest]

I still don't understand how he can say "he did nothing wrong in accordance with the rules."

Masi set the precedent the year before at a race and did the complete opposite 😂

Plus RB moaned just as much as Merc during the season, don't for a second believe they'd be happy if it was the other way round and he stayed in the role

Do you guys think they'll replace the Russian GP or just cancel it?

[opaque crest]

What happened in this title decider?

[heady sonnet]

Depends a lot right now, hard to say

If they hit them with harsh economic sanctions (already started with North Stream on hold) it could just go

[opaque crest]

Bring Portimao back

They have got like 7months to sort it

[heady sonnet]

Just disabling swift transactions will have quite a good effect 😂

[jaunty cave]

Alpha tauri gonna be top 5 this year!

[opal galleon]

Thats a long shot

[heady sonnet]

Three interesting things (at least) on the RB

[heady sonnet]

Front wing has 3 elements, instead of the 4, front suspension and those side pods

[opal galleon]

RB is way more aggressive aero, but Ferrari and Mercedes has chosen a more smooth aero.

Rb suspension is also one of the key elements being talked about

[heady sonnet]

Interesting that it is only them and mclaren

Alfa on the other hand has a different rear suspension

[opal galleon]

Inspector on the move

The record on Barcelona is around 1.16min so I wonder if anyone next 2 days is going to be anywhere near that number.

[heady sonnet]

Testing? Nah

Sandbagging mode on 😂

Just 5 seconds atm

And I’m sure they aren’t giving it all yet

[opal galleon]

People do 1.25 so far

So slow

[heady sonnet]

I saw 1.21?

The Ferrari

[opal galleon]

Still miles away

Under 1.20 then we talk

[heady sonnet]

I’m sure they will do it by Friday

1.21.1 for Lec

1.3 sec faster than Norris

Williams Alfa and Haas with 18 laps total

[opal galleon]

Haas has struggled whole testing. Williams some technical stuff. Alfa just slow.

[opal galleon]

Early samdbagging(

[heady sonnet]

RB looks impressive

Quite a few report it has the great features of all cars combined into one

[opal galleon]

Ferrari looking sharp

[heady sonnet]

Yep

[crude kiln]

RB car looks better now than it did in the reveal with the default car. Also love the Ferrari except the sides which I dislike..

[ruby seal]

Can anyone send the results of practice

[heady sonnet]

Already .165 to go to under 1:20

[dapper wagon]

I think lap count is more important for this week.

[heady sonnet]

Yeah ofc

65 is not too bad

Ferrari and Mercedes rocking also

Is Rus driving the whole day?

[dapper wagon]

Not sure.

[heady sonnet]

I saw it for RB but didn’t notice for Merc

[dapper wagon]

If I was a driver, I'd want to do a full day

If I was a team, probably want the drivers to do half days as the conditions should be similar

[heady sonnet]

For now it doesn’t look like we will have a massive surprise in the standings

Except Ferrari being up there with Merc and RB

Ham will be in for the afternoon run

[wind aspen]

Mazespin 6 secs slower 😂

[ruby seal]

Where is ricciardo?

[heady sonnet]

Might drive in the afternoon, don’t know the full schedule

Each driver has 1.5 days over the 3 days of testing

[ruby seal]

Ohh ok

I heard ricciardo will not race for mclaren after 2023

He is out

[rare ferry]

As in out of the sport or is he going to a different team?

[heady sonnet]

Way too early for rumors

There is still 2 more seasons at that point and people were thinking he could replace Ham

Although it’s just talks at this point

[zenith oriole]

oh it's private so no stream... i was hoping for some vids at least but nothing on f1 site... sadge

[heady sonnet]

They can only do text updates

[zenith oriole]

teams are releasing something here and there

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEp7zGIH9PA

[ruby seal]

Different team

[rare ferry]

Probably ferrari

[heady sonnet]

Rumors are Mercedes’

As a replacement to Ham

[ruby seal]

Yh maybe red bull

[ruby seal]

That will be great

Russell main driver and ricciardo support

I love ric bobby he is my fav driver

I wanted him to go to ferrari but mclaren was also good

And someone send the results of afternoon session

[opal galleon]

Almost only C3 today

[heady sonnet]

C2/3 mostly yes

[opal galleon]

Ferrari surprisingly been quick all day.

[mystic aurora]

Are the Alfa's struggling?

[heady sonnet]

And MB and RB racking in quite a few laps

They had an issue in the morning Jeff

[heady sonnet]

We have sub 1:20 also

[mystic aurora]

Ah. Ty

[opal galleon]

Yes

[steel nexus]

I know it’s early, but nice to see McLaren and Norris at the top!

[opal galleon]

Those cars might not be that slow after all 😂

They might even be as fast as last year

If they can do 1.19 in a test like this I can imagine them getting 1.16 in quali

[heady sonnet]

Yep

[opal galleon]

That Red Bull powertrains might be overheating 👀👀

[heady sonnet]

Doubt it

Looks they can tune in the car to different temperatures during the race

[opal galleon]

But thats where the engine is located though?

[heady sonnet]

https://the-race.com/formula-1/gary-andersons-verdict-on-red-bulls-2022-formula-1-car/

[opaque crest]

If today is anywhere remotely accurate timings we're in for a competitive season

I expect the usual order to be in play at the first race though

[opal galleon]

https://youtu.be/5I_ammnqjIU

In my opinion so far, Mercedes front wing is interesting, Red Bull floor is something to look at, Ferrari side-pod and rear wing is weird.

[rare ferry]

Ferrari went for McLaren 2011 look

with the sidepods

[jaunty cave]

Smart to keep his hands in his pockets.

[opal galleon]

And glasses

They are high tech camera glasses watch and learn

[jaunty cave]

Yeah I hear it’s not a good time to travel to Russia

[heady sonnet]

Cut them off swift and it will be gg

[woeful rune]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I_ammnqjIU

i am more than impressed with the car designs this year, ( side pods )

Those side pods are more than just seexy

[winged vessel]

Ppl are dying,, ,,,, not a time to discuss RU gp event.

⚰️

[slow yew]

Found this on insta

[opal galleon]

How can Red Bull (max) taken so many laps but aint anywhere fast as top 4? Anyone knows? He is the only one taken so many laps by himself.

[heady sonnet]

Sandbagging

Lap times don’t matter right now, reliability does and he did quite a few

[opal galleon]

It matters when you havent got any problem and runned the car alot.

[heady sonnet]

This is what Mercedes does basically every year

They won’t show how fast they really are until the first race

[opal galleon]

Yeah that aint something new, and they aren’t particularly p1-2 either.

[heady sonnet]

Indeed, nothing to worry about (yet)

Reliability is there at least so far

[knotty hollow]

From where you take this info ?

[heady sonnet]

the-race.com

[ruby seal]

Who do guys think is faster

Red bull or mclaren?

[knotty hollow]

Ferari

[ruby seal]

Yh Ferrari is fastest thats abvious but from mclaren or redbull which is fatser?

[knotty hollow]

I know… RB is fastest

[opal galleon]

Mercedes, Mclaren and Ferrari has all been the strongest so far. But none of them expect Ferrari has pushed that hard.

[opal galleon]

Alot of talks russian gp gonna be cancelled. If so I hope we get Imola or Singapore 🙂

[supple flower]

2x Singapore gp? 👀

[opal galleon]

Ye

Or Portimao

[ruby seal]

Right now mclaren is looking fastest 😂😂

[supple flower]

I think portimao would be nice :)

[ruby seal]

Both ric and Norris topped their sessions

[supple flower]

Since imola alr has a race in , but just imagine, going back to the sepang circuit

[opal galleon]

I was sleeping but what was the reason for Checo causing a red flag?

Something must have happen with the car?

[supple flower]

Probably.. ? I'm not paying alot of attention

[opal galleon]

Me neither.

So far Mclaren and Ferrari has been suprisingly strong but I dont left out RB and Merc, they are obviously going to do better as soon as we are in Bahrain.

[heady sonnet]

Gearbox issue from the reports

[supple flower]

Rb n merc probably just saving their energy so to speak and then show during race days

But I'm really looking forward to Ferrari's performance

[opal galleon]

Red Bull powertrains caught struggling 🤔

[opaque crest]

They flew out new parts last night so must be aware of an issue

I see Max has said Masi was thrown under the bus and its unfair on him

[opal galleon]

Christian said the same

[heady sonnet]

Alonso also said it

[opaque crest]

I'm ignoring anything Christian said since he said "girls are watching f1 because of the pretty drivers"

[heady sonnet]

But let’s not keep beating the same bush come on

[heady sonnet]

Afaik only Alfa flew in extra parts in the night

[opaque crest]

It's just amusing how those who benefited are against it yet if it was the other way round they'd still be kicking off

[heady sonnet]

You mean just like Toto and Ham? :),

[opaque crest]

He will however return for the afternoon’s running, as reigning champion and Red Bull team mate Max Verstappen drove on Day 1 – the team having flown in new parts overnight, including a floor.

That's from the F1 app

[opaque crest]

Yup, if it was the other way they'd be saying it was unfair too

[heady sonnet]

Yes, and next in Ham’s target list is stewards 😂

[opaque crest]

I mean he's got a point, no female stewards/race directors and if stewards are flying with drivers that does look a bit suspicious

[opal galleon]

Lets be honest that management was never qualified enough for the job.

[opaque crest]

The whole thing is as fans we need to know decisions will be fair and consistent this season otherwise f1 is done as a fair sport

[opal galleon]

Watch those 2 new guys step in.

[opaque crest]

I don't like the fact they're still allowing teams to talk to RD but not broadcasting it, that just makes it look worse

[opaque crest]

They can't be any worse can they? 😂

[opal galleon]

They have good record. Masi and his management did not.

[opal galleon]

Not direct line as it was before. You can only ask questions now.

[opaque crest]

Good. The sooner we can move on and get back to consistency and fair decisions the better.

[opal galleon]

All I know is I was super hyped and didnt care 😉

[opaque crest]

Still why not broadcast it then? The FIA realised they were screwed when the audios were released so their solution is "we won't release them"

[opal galleon]

Its not the same

[opaque crest]

I'm super excited too, just praying it's a season based on racing not decisions lol

Actually I want Russell and Perez to be involved in the battle with Mclaren and Ferrari but for Lewis and Max to drop back 😂

[opal galleon]

You cant talk to RD anymore only ask questions and there is no direct line to talk to the management anymore. Its not the same as it was before.

[opaque crest]

Hopefully that works better then

[opal galleon]

Including VAR

Know How is VAR going to work 😂

Its already not working in Football

[opaque crest]

VAR couldn't have gone more wrong in football if they tried to make it fail 😂

[opal galleon]

I am calling it VAR wont work in F1

[heady sonnet]

Will be interesting to see

Seems Max has a different style to others now also

They compared Leclerc and Max working with the new ground effects

Max was early on the brakes and then early on the gas in the corners

[opaque crest]

He'll get caught out if he continues his style from last season and others are as quick. Not everyone will yield all the time

[heady sonnet]

And Charles the opposite

[opaque crest]

That's completely different to last season, interesting to see how he adapts

[heady sonnet]

Yeah, journalists said it’s completely different and noticeable around the track

Apparently to keep the ground effect maximized

[opal galleon]

So far the floor on the cars has been a big thing. I wonder who got the best aerodynamic. So many different.

[opaque crest]

Seen a lot about the floor being changed to stop the "porpoising". Interesting that RB have already got a new floor out there

[heady sonnet]

Did you see the car being brought in earlier?

They wrapped it completely to get it on the truck and then even put screens up when they were bringing it down so others can’t see the floor

[opaque crest]

No, haven't seen anything from today yet. Just reading and seen some photos

[opaque crest]

Haha wow, top secret then. Must be illegal 😛

[heady sonnet]

😂

I’m surprised Toto ain’t whining about the design yet 😉

[opaque crest]

That'll wait till the first race. Whichever team is quickest will get referred to stewards lol

[heady sonnet]

😂

[opal galleon]

Because he knows he got a faster car duh

Imagine none of them are fast enough for p1-2 this season

Ferrari and Mclaren takes the seat

[crude kiln]

Idk man, saw a poll yesterday where 63% of 12k fans voted agreeing with Alonso saying he didn't think what happened in the last race was wrong. And also 63% thought Masi had been unfairly treated of 37k voters.

So for me it feels like it's the minority being loud in this case.

[opal galleon]

Thats bull I have seen many other polls where it’s completely the opposite and also youre using 1 poll as an argument out of so many other polls out there with perhaps more votes and thoughts.

[crude kiln]

I've yet to see a poll where the HAM side has been leading. And that was 2 different polls I mentioned. Just funny it was 63% on both 😅

[opal galleon]

Exacly

Those polls are just meh

[crude kiln]

Still points to a loud minority imo.

[opal galleon]

Thats all about what pov you look at it.

[crude kiln]

37,5k people is 37,5k after all 😅 Not like it was 10 people voting.

[opal galleon]

100mil watched it its 100mil after all. Not like 10 voted.

Thats how you see it.

I am just mimicking

[heady sonnet]

I just want to see who will be the next victim in case of controversies

Now it’s Masi, he is gone so let’s see who will be next. As both Toto and Christian love to have external excuses for things not going their way

[opal galleon]

They honestly dont even hate each other. Its just them being dramaqueens.

[heady sonnet]

Indeed

I like Toto more actually but damn he’s whining way too much 😂

Christian also in a slightly different way

[opal galleon]

Nah both are the same.

In a period its christian, other times its toto.

[heady sonnet]

Marko is the worst imo

[opal galleon]

2020 whole christian, 2021 Toto. = same

Marko feel like talks nonsense most of the time

Btw Mazepin causes a red flag 15min ago.

[heady sonnet]

Zhou faster than Vettel

[opal galleon]

I am hearing from journalists that these cars are visibly slower

[heady sonnet]

Especially in the last chicane there

Vettel and Mick also said the same

According to them it’s because of the weight

Some even compared it to trucks 😂

[opal galleon]

I dont want to watch/read reports. So I wonder is Haas doing good so far?

[heady sonnet]

Nope

[opal galleon]

Offff

I just hope they are not deadlast when the season starts.

[heady sonnet]

It looks that way

Certainly

[opaque crest]

All depends on how the questions were asked as well and where/when the polls were run. It's super easy to get votes going the way you want based on how you run the poll

Haas are proper sandbagging, they're gonna be super quick in Bahrain

RB not got back out on track yet, interesting

[heady sonnet]

Yep

[opaque crest]

Max broke the car for Perez lol

[heady sonnet]

Checo still in the box

Hey, it was fine yesterday 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[opaque crest]

😂 Max be like "you driving it wrong"

[heady sonnet]

😂 Max is an Apple fan

[heady sonnet]

Interesting concept

[opal galleon]

Haas better change livery now

[opaque crest]

Merc adding cooling grills to their car too?

[opal galleon]

Grills ;), I mean Mercedes always struggle with cooling. They probably brought their most powerful PU now.

[sturdy moss]

They will have had them prepared for hotter races so need to test them too

Can't imagine this is much fun for the drivers 😂😂

I actually like the flo vis paint as well, feel it should be used on liveries 😂

[opal galleon]

I expect those cars to be even more different when they arrive in Bahrain.

[opaque crest]

Haas dropping UralKali and running plain white livery tomorrow

[opal galleon]

is it true?

And if yes, where is the news published?

[opaque crest]

Multiple journalists reporting it on twitter and multiple different sites.

[heady sonnet]

Andretti taking over ?

[indigo stratus]

It’s a Russian company owned by mazpin’s father.

[heady sonnet]

We know that

[opal galleon]

No I want new team. I hope Haas can survive.

[opaque crest]

They're removing it off everything, not just the cars. F1 need to make sure they survive

[rare ferry]

No, we are expecting the russian gp to be removed until further notice, with the inclusion of the new circuit that is being added the following year

F1 have 3 choices to make in terms of replacement and circuits that have been approved; Losail, Algarve (Portimao) and Istanbul Park
