Mexico is so late in the season, and I don’t see Mexicans being very worried about Covid.

I would love to go up to Montreal, but I assume Canada will still be locked up.

My thoughts as well. Seems like the easier GP.

TDMSBGTG at whichever. Down to plan for the Mexico GP, but can't make any promises right now.

How big of a mess is Haas going to be this year? Anyone else find it strange that all the other teams are having car reveals, Haas was the last to set a date and that's only for a livery reveal? No car?

It will be quite bad. Haas froze development on the 21 car and they’re spending their resources on the 22.

quote:


Steiner says that his team is prepared for a difficult year: "It will be quite a challenging season going forward, we know about that.

"We've braced ourselves for it. We'll do as much as we can for this year for the mid-term, compromise the short term for the gains on the mid- to long term. That's our plan at the moment."

Maybe my favorite race of them all. Should be quite interesting this year without LMP1 and the addition of the hypercar class.

The one race that if I had to pick one race to attend in my life. Le Mans is fascinating to me.

I thought they delayed the cost cap another year? Super pumped to see a more level playing field

They are too busy managing their social media account and the backlash as they continue to post pics and stories about Nikita

They truly are tone deaf

On the other hand I like that they've taken a "frick off" approach with all the people still calling for Mazepin's head.


Alpine launch is about to go live.

Well that came directly from the F1 website. The cap is scheduled to be reduced further next year and the year after that.

I have to admit this year's Mercedes livery is pretty sharp looking and sleek. Apparently they've got some alien tech in their floor design as they're keeping that under wraps for now.

Alpine knocked it out the park imo.

Probably my favorite livery reveal so far this season. Excited to see what the Aston will be but I bet that blue Apline pops in the sunlight.

The Alpine (pronounced al-PEEN for those curious) does look pretty awesome.

That is a great looking car for Alpine.

Who do y'all think finishes 9th and 10th between Williams and Haas? and do either score a point?

Williams will probably take another large step forward. It will be close though.

Not sure all of this can be traced back to Paddy Lowe, but that is a story that I wish would get told one day. Something was never right with that.

Haas is a dumpster fire and is going backwards with zero confidence that they will achieve anything at all this year. They have basically conceded 2021 already.

Williams has been slightly improving. With a little influx of money this year, maybe George can score a few.

Supposedly, Rich Energy will be back in f1 this season, and as a title sponsor next season (if they last a full season). I'm assuming it'll be with Haas again and Gene Haas will not be the owner for 2022.

I'm expecting it to be Haas in 10th and make Williams look like rockstars. It doesn't sound like much optimism from Haas recently. Sounds like they're pretty much fielding their 2020 car with 2 rookie drivers. I'm expecting these first few races for Haas to be brutal.
