Hey we heard you like red bull so we put red bull in your red bull. Ps fantasy racers is open again for free fantasy F1 league
That's a much better deal for redbull. They get 4 years prep and development time for the new regs without having to worry about the current ones.
Isn't 2025 looking like current engines minus MGU-H anyway? Aston Martin to miss first test https://thejudge13.com/2022/01/28/crisis-unfolds-aston-martin-will-not-make-first-test/amp/
I hope that's just scuttlebutt, but Stroll Sr wouldn't be the first guy to piledrive a team into the ground trying to build a monument to his ego, hell, he wouldn't even be the first guy to do it to Jordan.
With Honda's history it wouldn't shock me if this was their way of keeping a foot in the door whilst also spending less. If the 2026 engines are to their liking they come back (again) as RB's full partner without any need to build up expertise and infrastructure (again).
Article seemed to speculate that key deadlines are being missed and people are afraid to speak up about it. The solution so far has been to throw money at the problem. It's not the first article or hint made at that narrative. I guess time will tell
https://www.planetf1.com/news/red-bull-unfazed-failing-frontal-crash-test/ https://www.planetf1.com/news/mercedes-reportedly-fail-2022-crash-test/ My assumption, teams are really, really pushing the venturi tunnels by making the survival cell as small as possible, freeing up volume under the car for more airflow. Second assumption, when the cars roll up to testing they will look markedly different the FIA's mock up, especially around the front suspension and sidepods.
Meh, not uncommon for teams to fail the crash test first time. Thinking back to his McLaren days, Wasn't it a trademark of a Newy design? Like you say, if you pass it first time you've probably left something on the table. I do wonder as well what adjustments have been made, if any, to the test
McLaren look to be running Push Rod Suspension https://www.motorsportweek.com/2022...ll-rod-suspension-confirmed-on-mclaren-mcl36/ I remember Ferrari running it during Alonso time (article does say 2013-2015) and it was noted back then Manardi ran it when Alonso was with them. With the new tyres I wonder if this could be the first stroke of genius or first mistake in the new car designs
I dunno, cars with pull rod front suspension have won a total of 5 races, in total. Maybe Mclaren will finally break the trend, or maybe it's another entry in logbook of the good idea fairy.
Haas dropped some pics https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/...22-car-and-livery.6hTev2bioqDq0QuojBQXp9.html
Looks nice from the sides but the side pods from the front aren't very pretty. Ultimately, if it makes the racing interesting they can look ugly.
Sidepods from the front do look silly but far from the most horrible or laughable "WTF" shape/design that`s appeared over the years. For me, It`s that paint job.....Boring and Unimaginative
to paraphrase wtf1 - white paintjob, no sponsors, screams 'backmarker'. hopefully it handles better than one of HAAS' CNC machines... unlike last year's
Was it even their CNC machine? I feel Haas's season depends not only how well other companies done their job (Dallara) but how well Haas understand the job that was done Speaking of Sponsers Aston Martin have a team name change to "Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant"
I still think you could push a HAAS CNC around the circuit and still manage a faster lap than their 2021 f1 car...
They were never gonna have any sponsors, not after last year. Not even a real car, maybe the renders of tiny opening yet bulbous sidepods have been hastily added to cover something up? From the top view, the car looks better if you cover the nose then squint to blur it, and take the rear wing to be the front
