I think the thing with the Haas car is that is an american car with the russian flag in it.

Kind of weird isn't it?

Also there was something about Mazepin not able to race under the russian flag

So this car is like a F$%&# you ban haha

Just found this in my YT timeline, Haas is just mailing it in this season and going to concentrate on next years rule changes, they arent even updating their car from last season.

^^^ Yep. It sucks for the new drivers, but on the other hand Haas won't be pulling out of the sport and going racing in 2022.

Oh gawd! The Merc has improved its engine, like it needed a bigger advantage. Blink I wonder if all the customer cars get the same upgrade? They must right?

Ok so now the Russian sports ban has WADA (our favorite sports terrorist organization) looking into the colors on the Haas car.
Should've painted the damn thing in Dr. Seuss colors.

And the Williams car looks like a late 90's Adidas track suit. Sorry Marko...

Pssst.....Scottie/all......not F1, but it's remotely moto-related and US F4.

My 15 y/o son just got a seat with Crosslink. Watch for the press release in the next few days. I'll try to post up details on what's going on when I'm at the computer later. Details at Drivel or Dos if you still have your sign on's.

Couple of pics of him at COTA at the Hoosier Super Tour event a few weeks ago.
He smoked the Formula F class.

Gpblog has rumors of Spengler (Mattia) being released by Ferrari ... but not until after the test in the Abu Dhabi or wherever.

My guess is the car still sucks ass but Spengler has everything logistically set up so they'll let him run the test.

Ferrari is without question the worst ran team in F1 and possibly all motorsports.

LOL My brother doesn't like it either Grinning

I personally like it as it is the only livery that surprised me, everything else is kinda par for the course (Except Aston I guess). Especially with the yellow as a nod to the Williams teams in the past.

This is interesting:

Comment of the day

Is Lewis Hamilton not having to extend himself to beat Valtteri Bottas?

I believe there’s one important difference that looking at the stats doesn’t show (and I’ll readily admit this is my uninformed opinion with no real evidence to back it up).

Outside of Turkey Hamilton didn’t appear anywhere near his limit last year. The gap between him and Bottas looked smaller than it was because he didn’t need to push any harder to beat him, the few times Bottas got close Hamilton always found a couple of extra tenths. This was rarely the case against Rosberg, and you always felt he was actually pushing.

That’s why I want Russell in the car. Hamilton is one of the greats of the sport but with Bottas in the other car we don’t get to see it because he doesn’t have to push.

F1 Pic of The Day



30 years ago today Ayrton Senna won F1’s final race at Phoenix, where Mika Hakkinen and Jordan made their debuts. But a nearby ostrich race reportedly drew a bigger crowd…

Why can't we have relegation in F1 ?
And the 500mil(whatever it is) buy in is complete crap.

Nice green ass kissing Ferrari.

^^^ Looks like a bad paint by numbers painting.

I suppose the good news is they apparently found more speed.
