Sakae 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2022 1 minute ago, lipstick79 said: homology - the modern F1 with different interpretations. What do you mean by "modern F1"? The F1 motor-sport was never static (unchanged standard). F1 cars always changed during seasons, and in between season. Always "modern". One can perhaps identify different periods by some significant features. Hybrid PU under brainless rules, Normally Aspirated Engines period, etc. That's how I look at it.

Mazepin was sacked by Haas on Saturday, with its Uralkali sponsorship also terminated, and expressed disappointment at the situation during a briefing with media on Wednesday. Mazepin's position with the F1 was untenable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sakae 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2022 D/T 2022.03.22 10:10 UTC JV: Quote Another big loser of the new 2022 season so far is McLaren. “All that experience, knowledge and skill in car design,” 1997 world champion Jacques Villeneuve told the Dutch publication Formule 1. “It’s unbelievable that they screwed up like this. “I had less expectations of Aston Martin, who copied Mercedes for so many years that maybe they forgot how to design their own car,” the Canadian added. “Competing at the top takes more than ambition and money,” Villeneuve insisted. “Formula 1 is a special sport. It’s not just marketing and branding.” ...as i thought as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the goal was to introduce major specs permitting car overtaking, then this is bad new for everyone. Who wants to drive behind and pretend that's an achievement?

Sakae 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2022 D/T 2022.03.23 6:57 UTC I see headlines popping up about Liberty setting up 30 races per season. This subject has been discussed many times already, and it is difficult to say anything new which wasn't said already. I think it's terrible idea. Let's leave it at that for today.

Sakae 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2022 DRS in this new era are supposedly very weak, and almost ineffective due to new aero. We need to remember that so early in the season we are relying on testimony of drivers, not someone on sidelines. is Alonso wrong? I cannot judge. From what i am hearing, this is most likely last year with DRS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakae 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2022 Ferrari Not too long ago I was reading salty condemnation of Ferrari's approach, especially they do not built a car in England, or hire British experts. They will NEVER succeed. Well, I think they are OK so far. I am not sure for how long, but, Italian blood is red and full of vitality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lipstick79 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2022 How can Mercedes have got their PU soo wrong? The Mercedes PU is makin Alpine/Renault power look good. F1 definitely NEEDS a new PU supply. Honda HAS finally sorted itself out since, the failed Mclaren Honda project. The Mclaren road car delivers BETTER performance than the Mclaren F1 car. For a 1 off Zak SHOULD enter the road car for a race. It WOULD boost the sales. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ever since people from FIRE "industry" and alike got involved, F1 went to different direction. Decades ago when German Mercedes CEO (Jürgen Hubert) said, let's establish manufacturers racing series, several people knifed him in his back for that thought, and UK fans and media cried how that will be the end of racing. Many so called fans are probably until today unaware, that F1 has its roots in Grand Prix style racing by manufacturers like Mercedes. Today we have what we have.

Sakae 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2022 Wow Quote But if F1 had any sense at all, someone should find Vettel a role, potentially as an understudy to CEO Stefano Domenicali, to ensure his wisdom is not lost to the sport. F1 could do far worse than having Vettel as Domenicali's successor when the time comes. This is first time in my 48 years with the F1, when a driver I support (Prost, M. Schumacher, Vettel) received such recognition in media. Of course this is just an idle talk, but nevertheless very warm consideration and recognition on man's unselfish, straight and uncomplicated character.
