Formula 1 2022

Keeps it bubbling under nicely for the new season.

It’s going to be a big year for Lando. He really matured as a driver last year and think he kick on even more this season

Not just Lando. His team are having a slow renaissance. Be good for the sport if there's another dog spoiling for the fight.

New Aston Martin looks a beauty, don’t know if this is the real one or another dummy model but it will be the first of the new cars to go round a track at Silverstone tomorrow.

The rear wings look cool, will be interesting to see how the drs works with them.

Just found out he and Ricciardo are United fans.

It’s the basic model they’re working from, like the Haas one, but it will look very different after a few months of testing.

oh no


Come on Sainz!

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Good to see a car, wonder where the FIA has decided where they’ll finish?

Lando is a rag??

FFS.

"(I supported) Bristol City then (as a child), and I feel like people are going to slate me for it, but then it was Man U, but only when (Cristiano) Ronaldo was there. That was the team I supported when Ronaldo was there.

"But I don’t watch football anymore, I’m not a football fan, so (I support) no-one."

I like the new McClaren livery.

New Alpha Tauri looks pretty cool.

 

[Metal Biker]

I like the new McClaren livery.

Gulf vibes.

Do the teams have any leeway in body style or are they all currently identical?

 

[mccity]

I think I'll cheer for Haas this year, because someone has to.

I think they all have to have the same body spec? However this won't stop teams trying to shave off millimetres on various parts of their cars and hope it isn't spotted.

Theres rules and guidelines on how high, low or wide something can be with a minimum and maximum specification on a car. It’s then up to a designers and interpretation of the rules, the McClaren looks a bit wider at the back on the engine cover and the Aston Martin tapers in a bit more, there’s also slits down the side of the engine cover on the Aston Martin I haven’t seen incorporated on other cars.

Some teams will get this very wrong and spend the rest of the year catching up. Some teams will find some gold in the regulations and be out in front. Can’t wait for preseason testing to begin so we can see what these cars are like on track.
