Andrew P Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Nothing to get excited about in this Livery, I hope the Car performs better than it looks.

Haas = 2/10 Aston Martin = 6/10 Red Bull - 5/10 McLaren = 7/10 And the Alpha Touri. = 1.5? I didn't think I could score lower than the Haas. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Radford Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 It seems as though there will only be Aston Martin and McLaren with cars on the grid - all the rest will just be tins of paint and 3D renders... 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNERandBR Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 This is why I think there should be a launch event for F1 where they pull the covers off all the cars. They can play teaser trailer all they want until then, including Pre-season testing. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 3 Sprint Races for 2022. This is just an extract from a report from the FIA, which just re tells the Abu Dhabi story and says there is no conclusion yet. Three sprint races agreed The meeting did succeed in solving the impasse over the number of 'sprint' races this year. A stand-off over financial issues has led to the abandonment of the initial plan to double the number of 'sprint' events to six. Instead, a compromise plan has been agreed to hold three sprints again this season, on the same financial terms as last year. These will be held at the Emilia Romagna, Austrian and Brazilian Grands Prix. The points available at the sprint events will be expanded, with eight points for the winner, seven for second and so on down to one point for eighth place. Last year, points were available only for the first three finishers, with three to the winner, two for second and one for third. 'Sprint' events see a shorter race held on Saturdays, the results of which set the grid for the main grand prix. Qualifying is moved to Friday, setting the grid for the sprint. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole sport is awaiting the results with baited breath. The FIA can't be its own judge, jury and executioner. An independent enquiry should be held. Its like the Ferrari engine deal. Just sweep it under the carpet and hope it goes away. Hopefully Mercedes will push to make the results public. Its in the sports interest to be transparent and accountable. Hopefully someone will leak the report. 1 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
