RMweb Premium Steadfast Posted March 4, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 4, 2021 I've got to say I quite like the Aston, they've made the pink work in the same way the Aston GTs used fluorescent orange and yellow as contrasts when they ran in green. Could with the Aston Martin logo on the engine cover though, looks a bit sparse. Jo 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Mazepin's Dad may be buying it, or being a large shareholder according to many reports. That story has been around since late last season. We were assured that after the last chequered flag dropped in 2020, Mazepin senior would be revealed as the new owner. We are still waiting, but in the close season, when every F1 writer is desperate for trivia to fill F1 column inches, is surely the time to make the big announcement. So as the countdown to the new season shortens, I see the odds of this lengthening. And perhaps the controversial new livery is less likely to be challenged if Haas races under the US flag. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three wings at the front could easily be interpreted as the Russian flag... They've even got the "windy" look of a real flag because of the shape of the wings. Russia is the only one currently to use that combination (white-blue-red) without any other symbols on it... https://www.wikiwand.com/en/List_of_flags_with_blue,_red,_and_white_stripes 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Mazepin might just be waiting to see; how the Team performs, how his Son performs, how the new Regs will affect the balance of power before parting with the final cash. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobby Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I suppose we'll see in due course but I can't help feeling that it isn't the way forward, F1 racing is about long distance not short races, other formulas do that already. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
