2022 Formula 1 Season Paddock

Yep. Besides, I am excited to watch Russell race this year, not Hamilton.

 

X2

 

Yep, humans make mistakes and Mercedes really don’t like that, especially when it goes against them.

If they or Ham leave, the circus will continue just fine without them. It would be a shame because they are great engineers but despite that I won’t miss them.

Put George back in the Williams and race on

 

...incessant whining by the current preeminent prima donnas of the sport...

 

I don't think Merc would pull out of F1. One of the articles said that they only own 1/3 of the business solely related to F1, don't really think the 2/3rds would want to pull out since they're making a ton of money every year


"Granted, it’s a manufacturer team so there’s always the threat of Mercedes withdrawing, but given it owns only one-third of a team that’s core business is competing in F1, this isn’t as potent a threat as it once was."

 

Newsflash ~ Mercedes not leaving F1

 

I saw AUDI and Porsche are hopefully entering F1 in 2026. Maybe AUDI wins it's bid on consuming McLaren?

I agree, time to move on.
To a nonparticipant viewer the drama might seem stupid. To an actual participant, the dollars at stake are much much higher per individual match/race/game than any other sport.

 

I'm a fairly casual viewer and follower but it seems to me most of the whining has come from the "fans."

 

Marcin Budkowski just left Alpine. some are now saying he was quite unhappy about something.

so now i'll show you two pics. the first is the Alpine team with Marcin encircled.

the next is the same photo, but posted on the Renault group's site.

 

Haha. Took me a minute to find that.

 

That shit eating grin doesn't help

 

And it continues...

 

Nothing wrong with looking into the current rules and clarifying the implementation of said rules in the future. Nice that it will apparently include the drivers as well in the process since they are the ones who really make the sport what it is.

 

Well the last paragraph hints at changes. Time will tell

 

it's good timing that Sulayem is exactly in the right time & place to make his mark. he's probably got a long tenure ahead of him, so he's looking well into the future without a doubt.

 

Mike Krack replaces former team principal and chief executive officer Otmar Szafnauer at Aston Martin.

That was quick.
