F1 2022

Quite a few teams do the car launch at the track prior to the start of testing. There is no coverage of the Barcelona test and I presume Alfa have delayed until press is permitted.

They are doing a one off testing livery then unveiling the new one apparently

So if it follows the pattern will be better than the actual one

Haas livery tomorrow (probably not the car) for anyone that cares about Haas.

A cardboard box with paint on it

A cardboard box with paint on it

... would still be faster than their car.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Williams still TBA.

Latifi rocks up to testing like this

Maybe I am just jaded towards Haas, but this looks like a car that belongs at the back of the grid.

I'm looking at the front-view and all I can think is

I'm really hoping it doesn't set the tone for how the 2022 cars will look. From Haas' point of view, they have no excuses, for this is what they dedicated 2021 to - developing this car. Anything less than 8th in the standings will be a failure for them.

From what I can see, that is not what the actual car will look like. This was just a livery reveal and the actual car will be revealed in a couple of weeks. That tweet does make it seem like it is the actual car, though.

 

[Bradesmaen]

They're renders as well so they photoshopped the hell out of it.

Drive to Survive S4 (Netflix series) supposedly launching between March 9th and 11th.
The last couple of episodes will be interesting.....

 

[gaskin]

So a week or 2 before the season starts then.

heard oscar on radio this morning. not sure whether he is bored with the medya or is getting ahead of himself. reckon someone needs to have a word in his shell pink.

This is the second time you've tried to push this.

Do you have something against him?

 

[drd23]

I'm assuming there's supposed to be some sort of subtext to the picture of him in hi-vis at the the Grand Canyon that I am not getting?

Nope that's just how he dresses normally

think you'll find i accepted the response to my post. don't recall it as being the 2nd time and i don't have anything against oscar. i just don't want to c him go off the rails as more than 1 person i know has taken the view i posted. people far more knowledgable than u or i. he's a real talent who i reckon has the ability 2 b better than daniel. hope that clears it up.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Must have been told a decision by the FIA for him to leave his room and join the adults at the dinner table

 

[DamoESP]

"Say bye bye to Antonio"

 

[darth_timon]

I

I will never get that close to the edge of the Grand Canyon. Big nope from me.

 

[DamoESP]

Congrats to VET, runner up to the one and only Sebastien Loeb at the ROC!

I'm expecting this to be the norm for most of the car launches prior to the Barcelona test. More of a livery launch than anything.

No special details revealed at car launch says Marko

Red Bull won't be putting "any special details" of its all-new car for 2022 on display when it is launched next Wednesday.

www.grandprix.com

The HAAS "launch" last week was basically a HAAS livery photoshopped onto the 2022 mule car that was made available last year. No team in their right mind would be giving away any details on 2022 rule exploits that they may be using until their cars hit the track, and possibly not until the first race

Interesting analysis of the new Hass chassis from a former MERC Aerodynamicist

 

[Klyntonius]

Spa spending a few euro on safety.

F1 to move away from knee gesture ceremony in 2022

Proving once and for all that it was just a pointless PR exercise.
