Ferrari can’t complain about Red Bull having a junior team if they are gonna use Haas as their de facto junior team.

Ferrari doesn't own Haas. They don't have the same person running the overall programs.

A team buying spots for junior drivers isn't the same as what RBR and RB do.

I get what you’re saying but nowhere near the same level as RB and Torro Rosso

I feel like Haas is making decisions at Ferraris request that arnt in Haas’ best interest. If their main focus is scoring points next season, then keeping Ocon or signing Yuki we’re probably better options than signing a rookie.

The extra money they can direct to developing the car probably offsets any gains they would make from a marginally better driver salary.

Ferrari is likely covering the cost of their driver's either directly or via offsets in engine costs. Means Haas can spend more money on the car or less time trying to track down sponsors to cover the driver costs.

Not to mention their driver's likely get Ferrari sim time that a non-ferrari driver wouldn't get.

Ayo says they are not a junior team and that Ferrari has not asked them to sign anyone from the Ferrari drivers academy. Not sure I totally believe that but there is enough there that someone asked the question.

There are obviously benefits for both sides and I’m sure any driver would sign up for a few years at Haas if they thought the next step would be Ferrari.

Would be nice to see Gene Haas step up, spend the money and try to be winners tho instead of being content to just be there.

Right, it’s not like Ferrari has poached a Haas driver or shuffled them up/down in times of need.

I think Kim sends them to the looney bin not the hospital.

Which is the another thing. No driver is employed by Red Bull Racing or Racing Bulls. They are Red Bull employees that are placed in each team.

Theoretically Teslas new roadster would be 3 seconds faster around COTA than Verstappen was last year. F1 car wins the braking zones and corners. Tesla roadster dominates acceleration and top speed.

Nothing against you MississippiLebowski
But that’s the dumbest shite I’ve ever seen or heard.
A staged stunt show is not a car. It’s not a race car. It’s not flying. It’s vaporware.
And if we’re dealing in the theoretical world, let’s just have all of the F1 teams dream up their version of an unlimited F1 car and even Aston Martin could beat whatever crack that douchebag dreamed up this time.

It probably couldn't make a lap at this point. Don't think the car drove more than 100 ft at any point.

The McMurty is a better version of the car and has actually been built.

As for the nitrogen cannons fast and furious launched the Lyken that way. Believe that was the plan for the live show as well.

The Tesla obviously looked cooler though.

Exactly!

The McMurtry is real. The new Roadster has been jokeware for nine years.

Porsche needs to revisit their unrestricted 919 hybrid evo. They won't, but it'd be cool to see what we've learned about hybrid drivetrains and aerodynamics since 2018.
