While the Alpine livery still looks shit, it does look slightly better out on track than it did in the reveal.

The sh*t this moron can get away with... if that is the AFL he'd be fined for disrepute. Similar in EPL. Such a cry baby

Disgraceful.
Easy fix. Fine him one race win. Start the season @ -25 points.
To accuse the stewards of bias is a step to far.

P.S. Would have liked him to call for more woman in F1 cars than the stewards room.

With the events in Ukraine, the Russian affiliation of Haas will definitely be called into question. Further sanctions could hit Uralkali you'd think.

Internet detectives have also figured out you can no longer buy tickets to the Russian GP but the Turkish GP has become available.

First red flag of testing goes to Perez. Stopped on track with a gear box problem.


Danny 2nd fastest behind Sainz at the stoppage.

Merc struggling with porpoising badly today apparently.

"I woke up to this morning's news shocked," he said. "It's horrible to see what is happening. If you look at the calendar we have a race scheduled in Russia.

"For myself, my own opinion is I should not go, I will not go. It's wrong to race in the country. I'm sorry for the people, innocent people who are losing their lives, getting killed for stupid reasons.

"A very strange and mad leadership. It's something we will talk about but the GPDA hasn't come together yet. Personally I'm just so shocked and sad what's going on. We will see going forward. I think my decision is already made."

Vettel already saying he won't race there. Few other drivers asked and all gave non-answers (except Max who was also adamant F1 should not be in Russia).

Alonso didn't specifically state he won't go, but basically said they'd made their decision but F1 needs to make theirs.

No driver with any sort of conscience should agree to race in Russia. I'll be greatly disappointed with any of them who do, assuming the FIA don't pull the plug on it.

Only Mazepin might say yes but he's Russian and requires russian money... so he might be saying yes but really saying no.

I hope that's the case. I fear some drivers might not be as outspoken as they should be - and I include Hamilton on that list. Yes, I know he's said stuff about human rights etc, but boycotting a race... I'm one of his staunchest defenders but I can see his competitive side leading him to race.

Haas have removed all Uralkali branding and are removing the Russian flag from their livery.

Mazepin senior was also one of the Russian Oligarchs called to the Kremlin to meet with Putin which isn't a great look for Haas. If things go **** up and they lose all the Russian sponsor money then Haas are ****ed.

Goodbye Haas

Should be bankrolled by the us government for spite

It'll be interesting to see how the new cars and tires handle the wet. There is going to be an artificially wet session in the afternoon.


Also, porpoising in action on the Ferrari:

That would make me puke.

Gotta love the hypocrisy of the west, the US invades Iraq, kills 1 million people, displaces 4 million more ... US Grand Prix? No problem. US Sponsors? No Problem.

I agree it looks better on the track

Lights out - ABC listen

His voice is synonymous with Formula 1 racing and his passion for the sport is obvious. David Croft sat down for a lengthy chat with Ben Cameron to discuss what we can expect this coming season, his joy at returning to Australia and the fallout from last season's controversial finale

Good interview.

Have done well here.

Gone the Ferrari red livery with black wing. Looks so much better than all red.

Now if only it could get on track for more than 10mins

Looks nice, but if testing was anything to go by then this car is going to be spending a lot of time getting knocked out of Q3.
