Yes, but not sure Haas can survive long without Uralkali if they Drop them

#

I’m strictly speaking Haas here

rare ferry
#

They can survive, I believe 1&1 might do something

#

not much

#

but something

heady sonnet
#

It’s the title sponsor after all

rare ferry
#

yes, so it could be a replacement

#

much like HRT, they didn't have big sponsors, but were just placeholders in the championship

#

Unless if Haas get into extreme financial difficulty, we could see a return with Rich Energy or a partnership with another car manufacturer

opal galleon
#

They can always find a new title sponsor. The problem is who wants to sponsor them.

Wait till the season starts and there's dodgy decisions/accidents, then you'll see the real crazies šŸ˜‚

heady sonnet
#

Apparently reading comprehension is hard for some people. If you could put 2+2 together - haas losing (as it looks like) their title sponsor, and Andretti willing to enter F1 - it was a perfectly reasonable hypothesis. But some people just want to pick a fight.

opal galleon
#

Gene Haas is not willing to put his team for sale though.

heady sonnet
#

I’m still debating their ability to survive right now without their biggest sponsor

opal galleon
#

F1 can support them. The cost and gaps should have helped them. They can can a new sponsor too. F1 is nr1 marketing place so.

#

For the fact f1 is 66% marketing the rest is motorsport so

#

Also that sponsorship is guaranteed Mazepin seat. No way he lose that seat. I am sure Mazepin stays and the livery just change.

opaque crest
opal galleon
#

Then new sponsor.

#

They got more than 3 weeks until new season. This means time to get new sponsor.

heady sonnet
#

Exactly. It’s not as easy. Being associated with one of the largest Russian companies, potentially falling under severe sanctions on top of the already not easy situation in the team is not something that can be easily disregarded. You think haas is as attractive to sponsors at their current state? Tell me the new sponsors they attracted this year

#

Such contracts can’t be done in 3 weeks

#

We are talking Haas, not Ferrari

#

It would be a lot cheaper for Andretti than flat out start a new team

#

Do you remember force India and what happened with the team at that point?

opal galleon
#

They had no choice. Haas has a choice.

#

They were out of money for a long time and that has been a problem for a long time. Haas has the opportunity to find a way and seek help.

#

I like haas livery, but if Uralkali cant be part of it they will struggle. They need the money.

heady sonnet
#

Yeah, but apparently talking about it and suggesting it’s a way for Andretti to enter earlier by supporting Haas is being ā€œSmartassā€.

#

Some people šŸ˜‚

#

Haas was already in a difficult financial situation even before this season

opal galleon
#

Fact, so long Andretti joins F1 I am happy. But I would prefer more teams but yeye.

heady sonnet
#

Absolutely, another team would (I hope) mean more talents could join

#

Instead of p2race ones like Mazespin

opal galleon
#

Uralkali is oil company obviously they have the money. But already yesterday Russia stocks went down by 40%. Most european countries has stopped the import of oil and gass from Russia. I really think Uralkali is going to withdraw. Unless they want to use the rest of their money for F1.

heady sonnet
#

Fully agree, except on one thing

#

Uralkali is a chemicals company, they are not in the energy one

#

It’s mostly fertilizers and potassium chloride

heady sonnet
#

Teams starting to dial it up a bit, first time with C4 also I think so far

opal galleon
#

Russell interesting.

heady sonnet
#

Zhou also doing surprisingly well

#

Haas 9 laps 😵 They've struggled every session haven't they?

heady sonnet
#

Pretty much

#

Alonso had a breakdown earlier with quite a bit of smoke

rare ferry
#

I guess BWT used Magnesium Mineralised Water instead of actual fuel lmao

opal galleon
#

Lol

heady sonnet
#

Could be linked to what they reported earlier

opal galleon
#

ā€œWe brought our most powerful engineā€

#

Does not look like it xD

heady sonnet
#

ā€œGive us performance, reliability should be secondā€

rare ferry
#

As redbull have asked for in 2018

#

Ricciardo ended up having arguably the worst season he's had ever

opal galleon
rare ferry
#

Means he had pretty much had the worst season of everyone in 2018

opal galleon
#

Ok so? How is that relevant

rare ferry
#

'Give us performance, Reliability should be second'

#

They had performance, but shocking reliability

opal galleon
#

Ah yeah true

rare ferry
#

moral of what I said is reliability is as important as performance

opal galleon
#

Fact

heady sonnet
#

Yep, and I hope alpine reconsiders this

Alonso won’t be amused

Yeah, it's been taken a lot more seriously by fans than it was ever meant lol

opal galleon
opaque crest
#

Still doesn't actually say much, "under current circumstances" leaves it open for them to decide later

heady sonnet
#

Yep

rare ferry
#

Their decision is based on the financial result, not if its ok to do so or not

heady sonnet

It’s also a bit too late for ā€œswift and peacefulā€

#

Is Mazespin still 6 secs slower than the top cars?

rare ferry
#

yesn't

#

we don't know yet

#

but he probably is

#

he has no uralkali power

#

so

#

he probably 10 seconds

#

give hamilton 10 second time penalty he'll still finish infront of mazepin

Gunther himself will race

Fitipaldi?

#

Hope it's bye bye. His rookie season was a disaster anyway. Not good enough to race in the highest series. He should drop to S9 or even S7.

opal galleon
#

So its 50/50 if Mazepin will race?

opaque crest
opal galleon
#

Not having Uralkali means they bottled the deal right ? And that means Mazepin ā€œsecuredā€ seat is up to grab?

opaque crest
#

Pretty much I think. I'm not an expert but that's the understanding I get. Gunther did say that Haas was safe though and the team weren't in danger.

heady sonnet
#

That’s the best part

opal galleon
#

Thats good news.

#

If they can survive without Uralkali they can find a new title sponsor mid season.

heady sonnet
#

I agree with Sid - the answer and the wording points to the contract being broken and Uralkali and haas parting ways. And considering Mazespin is part of that deal he’s likely off also

opal galleon
#

If they can survive in short time at least. That should be enough time to get a new sponsor. Perhaps even selling the team. Its a good value for people wanting to join F1.

rare ferry
#

Its kinda sad since Mazepin didn't really do anything

#

However, Russian GP is now cancelled

Yup

I mean, I would love to see other drivers like Oscar Piastri. But I would prefer a ā€œdaddyā€ cash driver this time to secure Haas survival.

rare ferry
#

Well

#

idk who's a paydriver in F2

#

Piastri is going to replace Alonso or Ocon in the near future at Alpine

#

I think Aitken or Lundgaard

#

will take that spot

#

unless, like Qnyx said, Fittipaldi might take that spot

opal galleon
#

I am sure he will take it, but Haas probably will find another ā€œpaid driverā€ to get that money.

rare ferry
#

Or a title sponsor

opal galleon
#

Yes

#

Fittipaldi dont offer that much for them

rare ferry
#

Hopefully a company like Rich Energy or Jack & Jones will make it

opal galleon
#

Not rich energy..

#

They are such a scam

#

But Jack and Jones dont sound stupid

rare ferry
#

According to Gunther, Haas won't be in such a crisis where they'll face extreme financial difficulty

opal galleon
#

Camt red bull buy them so they have a C Team lol

rare ferry
#

No

#

Red Bull only bought Minardi just to promote young drivers

opal galleon
#

Ik

rare ferry
#

and to get them starting in F1, them buying Haas will be disastrous

opal galleon
#

I dont see Haas getting a new title sponsor this quickly. For me its either new sponsor or be bought by people like Andretti

heady sonnet

#

Andretti are planning to start from scratch, not interested in sponsoring or taking over another team

It’s probably going to be confirmed later today since I dont see how its not going to be cancelled.

opal galleon
rare ferry

It is, its called a moral decision

The ā€œunder current circumstancesā€ in the end is way too vague

opal galleon
rare ferry
#

Ok now Craig Slater has stated its not 100% confirmed, it will be decided later on today

jaunty cave

#

But confirmed none the less, its called morals, everyone knows its not right to race in a country that started an invasion with other countries just out of greed

jaunty cave

opal galleon
#

Thats not confimation by F1

rare ferry
#

Well sochi sucks anyway so it doesn't matter

heady sonnet
#

I see the point but we know that money talks unfortunately and sometimes just has priority over morals in sport

opal galleon
#

Its definitely going to be cancelled but right now its just media other than F1 themself that are confirming this.

rare ferry
#

Governing bodies have said Russian athletes will not compete in high level competition, this will probably lead to Russia not being involved in any other sport or hosting any event until further notice.

Quotes from some drivers on F1 "cancelling" the Russian GP:
Lando Norris: ā€œSad to see what’s going on. A very good decision from F1. Not a place I would want to be going right now and very sad to see what’s going on and the innocent lives that are being taken.ā€

Alex Albon: ā€œI think it’s the right step. It’s really saddening. There are much bigger things out there than racing.ā€

rare ferry
#

Everyone on the grid knows its wrong

#

However Mazepin, being Russian himself was in a tough spot to answer that question

#

then he gets harassed online, even by Jeremy Clarkson, who most of the time is a genuine guy but his response was completely unnecessary

opaque crest
#

Pierre Gasly: ā€œI am really pleased this decision was made. It is completely the right one. Knowing they are in war. I don’t support the action they are taking. It is a relief F1 is also cancelling the grand prix.

ā€œAbout Ukraine, it’s really sad to see what’s happening. In 2022, to see innocent people… breaking families and dying from basically a reason which I don’t support is very sad and seeing all these videos.

ā€œI am also personally affected having some people close to me in Ukraine right now. It’s a very difficult situation and very scary because they don’t know if they are going to be able to make it out and see their relatives.ā€

Haven't seen Clarkson's response

I don’t feel bad for him either. He shouldn’t be paying for his father’s sins, and yet only because of that he got to say he drove in F1. And his first (and possibly only) season was almost entirely a complete disaster compared to other rookies

Which one?

opal galleon

The thing about ā€œlegalā€ and ā€œupgradesā€ you know

opaque crest
#

Looks like Mazepin might survive

opal galleon
#

No

#

Summary. Uralkali cannot stay. But Mazepin can drive but the whole reason mazepin is in F1 is because of money. No money no drive.

#

Why go for mazepin when they can go for perhaps better driver + a guy that can offer money. Mazepin cant do that anymore.

dense condor
#

Is there another sponsored driver who has a license and can sign a contract?

#

Just meant legally he's allowed to stay, nothing saying he can't race

Obviously a lot depends on how his dad's money is impacted by the sanctions

Mazepin can stay but haas can vouch for a better driver and has a good reason to let mazepin go

Much better option to for a driver that can guarantee something.

#

As Gunther said they dont rely on Uralkali.

opaque crest
#

Guess a lot depends on the contract situation and legality of things then.
I'd imagine Haas are working hard on finding a way out so they can replace him

dense condor
#

I guess they'd go to their reserve driver first.

opal galleon

That would be Pietro?

dense condor
#

Yep.

opal galleon
#

Basically no chance Mazepin stays. Unless they make an ā€œprivateā€ donation or something. ā€œA way to send moneyā€

dense condor

But does Haas suffer any penalty (other than public opinion) if they keep Mazepin? Or if they keep him, but give Fittipaldi the seat for now?

i was talking in general about all athletes and mental setup that every rusian is a bad guy and we need to hate them, because ppl started comparing f1 to olympics and other organizations.... in no way i agree with what's happening but this hurting everyone in cross fire for no reason

#

don't show flag, don't play anthen, it's fine.... but banning and firing ppl just because they are rusians.... just lel

#

i see rusians in my country working minimum wage being fired from job and ubications and crying in the streets because they have nowhere to go.... and ppl are mean to them, blaming them for what's happening even when they have absolutely nothing to do with it

Now lets say that ESort is not a sport. its just video gaming with advertisement and marketing.

in future i can see 2 groups of people fighting over an argument on social media/twitter/discord would become a sport as well, once they can get sponsors for them.

I have nowhere blamed any Russian for what is happening - on the contrary. I even said above that Nikita shouldn’t be paying for his father’s sins. However, when there is clearly only one reason he’s on the grid - his father’s money - and that being very much linked to the crazy president of Russia - he can’t really play the ā€œinnocentā€ card. He already had his yellow card last year before even joining the team. Now, unfortunately (or fortunately depending on the point of view) he needs to go.

From what I've seen here everyone has accepted this is Putins war and no one is blaming the citizens of Russia. Those who have been on the streets protesting and risking their lives show its not their war.

Putin as he's gotten older has lost his head

Mind you he's lost it to the extent he's been stripped of his taekwondo black belt

opal galleon

šŸ˜‚

#

Wooow Losing taekwondo belt

rare ferry
#

Took him quite a long time to get there

#

To get a black belt you are probably 1 in 10,000 to do so

#

10,000 people will sign up, half will quit in the first 6 months. 5,000 people are left, of those 5,000, another 2,500 will quite after a year. 2,500 left and of those people only 500 will go on to achieve blue belt. At this point a good 80% of these blue belts will realise the hard work you need to put in to get to brown belt. By the time people get to brown belt, a handful (say 10) of people will go on to get their black belt as a result of people not willing to go the extra mile to train at black belt level. So of those 10, 1 in those 10 people will stand out from the rest, as they are determined to get that black belt that takes 5-7 years to get, whilst consistently training at a regular basis. That makes VLAD 1 in 10,000. But due to his arrogance and greed, he has lost up to 7 years of sweat, time, blood and tears.

This is just pure cringe

Who tf cares that he lost his black belt. That is neither relevant nor important.

Not even Lewis gets that much. 50mil for a young athlete is way too much. Not whole alot of top athletes even earn that much + this is almost the double of what he originally earned from RB. This is too much for an athlete that has alot left in his career compared to many other athlete they are around their 30s that has achieved almost everything.

# heady sonnet It’s exactly what Ham gets

Nope, not anymore. He is around 40mil now. Because mercedes were losing money pr season even though they win the championship. So they wanted to reduce the gap. He was struggling to get a contract for 2021 season. They were in talks for months and the big topic then was money.

#

At least Ham has achieved most stuff already and did not earn that much that early. Max in other hand is in peak(prime) so much left of him. Thats alot to a young athlete.

"Formula One teams can now test their cars from last year. And the change in regulations means a team should now use a rookie in at least two free practices. O’Ward is in contention to take the place."

Is there a chance in regs that mean we'll see other drivers in FP or is it talking bs?

Yeah I totally get the decision, be interesting to know how it was done though, whether Nikita was spoken to about it or not. At the very least let the guy know formally beforehand.

I do feel a tad sorry for him. He can't help who his family associates with but also he hasn't tried to distance himself so...

He was threading a very thin line on thin ice already

The groping of the girl before the season even started last year, his driving as well, apparently he also complained that mick was given the better chassis last year (it will be in one of the first DTS episodes) and Uralkali threatened to leave even last year. Yeah, very very hard to remain in that case

I doubt they didn’t tell him beforehand - they even said it before the third day of testing

Mazespin Senior threatened to pull Uralkali out if they don’t give Nikita the ā€œlighterā€ chassis

Apparently Nikita thought that it was so much better it would give him a chance and they were sabotaging him on purpose with a heavier chassis

#

Cough bullsšŸ’© cough

opal galleon

Yeah I heard about it, Mazepin thought of pulling out of the deal very early because of some stufd then got worse when the ā€œchassisā€ thing came. I mean chassis is everything. Many engineers says chassis is basically the car just with the engine.

He didn’t improve after he got the better one šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Sorry,ā€˜missed the quotes - the ā€œBetterā€ one

Toto and Christian are as bad as each other. Christian doesn't sugar coat or say it in a cheeky way like Toto.

#

Also, the Merc jelly pods looks disgusting. 🤮

Ross Brawn saying, "first look doesn't appear there's anything here that goes against objectives of the regulations".

"Didn't anticipate Mercedes concept and its a very extreme interpretation of the regulation. There'll be a lot of debate but that's what happens"

Blamed him too fast šŸ˜‚

Not our fault msm were widely reporting it šŸ˜‚

The cars look so slow through slower corners

Sidepod controversy

opal galleon
#

There is no controversy

heady sonnet
#

The controversy is whether it will be beneficial or not šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

jaunty cave
#

Who impressed so far?

#

As speed leclerc but that is a fraction of the true testing I believe

dapper wagon
#

I'm only impressed by the amount of laps Ferrari have been doing.

Mercedes may have pulled a pro gamer move

heady sonnet
#

It was fully expected

#

Let’s see the actual effect

rare ferry
#

At the moment the car is bouncing

heady sonnet
#

If it’s indeed 1 sec per lap it will be over quite fast

#

Yeah the porpoising at the moment is absurd

#

Makes me dizzy even

#

Ferrari is quite bad also

#

I saw above the same for Alpine

rare ferry
#

Eh, its testing, we don;t worry

heady sonnet
#

Rb and Alfa seemed more stable

#

I know, it’s still funny to watch though

#

As if they are riding over pavement šŸ˜‚

Everyone so fast

Fast compared to what though? Not last seasons cars

dapper wagon

Still slower than V8s

#

V10

#

V12

#

V16

dapper wagon
#

I'd hope they're faster than V10s šŸ˜‚ they're ancient

heady sonnet
#

They should go down to 1:30-ish today

#

Certainly by the end of the testing

dapper wagon
#

Probably end up 2s slower than last year

#

They seem too slow in slow speed corners

opal galleon
#

I am happy the cars looks faster on TV now xD

I had tried a month subscription, watched one race then was hooked on Pro.
Pit Lane channel, Live onboard cameras all at your control. Tough to beat anywhere

True. Those are some fun stuff to see. And for the price they offer its a good deal

Gasly topped 1:34:010 with softs

#

The reds look strong today. Hope they can maintain their pace in the upcoming practice session

heady sonnet
#

Ferrari looks solid in the testing

#

A lot of laps

#

Quite fast also

fathom root
#

The cars still wobble a bit

heady sonnet
#

A bit

#

šŸ˜‚

#

The Mercedes is awfully wobbly

fathom root
#

Hope the drivers dont pass out šŸ˜‚

opal galleon
#

I do think Mercedes is faster than what they are showing now but losing much times on small problems. Maybe because of the wobbly..

fathom root
#

They should add bricks in the rear to stop the wobble šŸ˜†

opal galleon
#

#

I missed that part so idk what happend?

heady sonnet

Missed it as well but they said on sky that part of the disk broke

dapper wagon
#

Looked like the rear brakes overheated and caught fire.

#

Caused a lot of damage sadly.

opaque crest
#

Yeah, brakes overheated

opal galleon
#

Never seen anything like it

opaque crest
#

When he started putting it out looked like one of the tyres exploded

dapper wagon

It's actually common for brakes to overheat and fail
