I think maybe more that the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) looks great......Didn't HAAS try with only CFD because they thought they could do it all with CFD?

Is that a long winded way of saying Haas can't afford their own wind tunnel?

[bsnub]

s that a long winded way of saying Haas can't afford their own wind tunnel?

HAAS doesn't need their own wind tunnel, they use Ferrari's.

[harrybarracuda]

HAAS doesn't need their own wind tunnel, they use Ferrari's.

Every F1 team needs a wind tunnel.

Haas can't afford one.

Never mind though, if Andretti's team gets off the ground, Haas can go bust and everyone will be glad to see the back of them.

Pun intented ?

[harrybarracuda]

Pun intented ?

What are you wittering on about now?

[harrybarracuda]

It isn't just Sochi they cancelled - it's the whole contract.

[harrybarracuda]

Now it's time to find a new sponsor. Drivers are two a penny.

And let's face it, Stevie fucking Wonder would be an improvement on Mazepin as a driver.

[bsnub]

And let's face it, Stevie fucking Wonder would be an improvement on Mazepin as a driver.

Of that there is no doubt he was horrid and had no place in F1.

[helge]

And let's face it, Stevie fucking Wonder would be an improvement on Mazepin as a driver.

So; you reckon people of colour can't race ?

Fucking racist

[harrybarracuda]

So; you reckon people of colour can't race ?

Fucking racist

I'll let anyone else try and decipher this fucking gibberish, because I can't.

[harrybarracuda]

Magnussen has replaced Mazepin at Haas.

That's good, not only can he actually drive, but he's popular in the paddock.

[bsnub]

That's good, not only can he actually drive, but he's popular in the paddock.

That was indeed a good hire. Glad to see him back.

[harrybarracuda]

The new season of Drive to Survive is up.

Some of the faux, added-after-the-fact "commentary" is irritating, but Guenther is his usual brilliant self, and the arrogance of Mazepin and his oligarch dad are there for all to see.

Tsunoda though.... the English he has learned from the pits....

[cyrille]

So he'll soon Lewis Larbalestier Hamilton.

I bet commentators can't wait.

[harrybarracuda]

So he'll soon Lewis Larbalestier Hamilton.

I bet commentators can't wait.

Other way round.

Of course it might just be a cunning plan to sell replacement merchandise.

Expect to see "Max Iveneverlegitimatelywonatitle Verstappen" soon.

Larbalestier

Early Origins of the larbalestier family

The surname larbalestier was first found in Devon where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor.

I bet commentators can't wait.

larbalestier has been recorded under many different variations, including Balister, Ballister, Ballester, Ballaster, Balster, Balaster, Balester, Ballyster and many more.

Formula One: Safety car rules tweaked by FIA in wake of controversial 2021 title decider
By Andrew BensonChief F1 writer

Formula 1's safety car rules have been changed to make it impossible for a race to be conducted in the manner of 2021's controversial title decider.

Michael Masi was removed from his role as race director last month as a result of failing to apply the rules correctly in the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Masi's actions had a direct result on the outcome of the world championship.

Governing body the FIA has now made it clear "all" lapped cars must un-lap themselves before a restart.

The change replaces the phrasing in last year's rules, which said "any" lapped cars between the leaders should overtake and join the back of the field before a restart after a safety car.

Masi's decision to allow only the cars between race leader Lewis Hamilton and title rival Max Verstappen to un-lap before a restart was at the heart of the Abu Dhabi controversy.

I don't think it would have made any difference, Masi would have fucked it up anyway, the witless twat.

In DtS he comes across as a right tool.

[VocalNeal]

the witless twat.

Tut, Tut the referee's decision is final, even if you think it is wrong.

Well here we go again, FP1 tomorrow.

This is a long and informative piece about the new F1 construction rules.

The Formula 1 cars that start the new season in Bahrain this weekend represent the biggest year-on-year change for 40 years - and possibly ever.

Ferrari are already whining about the Mercedes wing mirrors. Saves Whinger Spice having to do it I suppose.

[VocalNeal]

Flabio is back!

Ferrari are already whining about the Mercedes wing mirrors.

Seems to me, it is Mercedes doing the whining.
