I have said many times, I quite like Max, he has fire in his belly and wants to win, sometimes at any cost, Horner could have managed him better, maybe not have massaged his ego so much, but so many year chasing Lewis and Mercedes clouded his judgement, maybe I would have done the same.I think RB are just an unlikeable bunch under Horner and Marko. Max also does not endear himself with his over aggressive driving and brake checking, but I think over time I could warm to Max. Horner and Marko never.

Was looking at this to run next season. Bit more involved than "buying Hamilton and max as soon as possible".

As long as it’s a Ferrari that wins it next year I’m happy, I’d like sainz to win it he’s just smooth operator.
Also the start of the season just looks weird with the aussi gp being the 3rd race and no Malaysian gp

looks good, set it up , I will join in
Ferrari will pull the covers off its all-new 2022 car in mid-February, in the week that will precede the start of pre-season testing at Barcelona on February 23.
The Scuderia's 2022 charger, designed to the specifications of Formula 1's new regulation platform that aims to bring the racing closer together, has yet to receive its name according to team boss Mattia Binotto.
"The car will be presented middle of February," confirmed Binotto, speaking at Ferrari's annual Christmas media event.
"We have not decided yet the date. From the 16th to the 18th of February, that will be the date, but it’s something that will be finalised in the next weeks."
Elaborating on the Italian outfit's prospects for next season, Binotto said that its car's development was following a positive course.
But the Swiss engineer steered clear of predicting where Ferrari may sit in the pecking order as there were simply too many unknowns regarding the Scuderia's rivals.

Really hope the unsubstantiated rumour that Mercedes are way ahead of the pack for next years car are true. I want them to lap the entire field by the end of the opening race.
It that's the case might as well as not watch it then, last thing we need after the last 12 years is another procession.
And the only people watching F1 for the rest of the year will be people from the UK
Hamilton was wronged. It sucked. Move on.
I don't think anybody has actually run their cars yet have they?
Of course likley merc have a good engine but the fuel mix will change next year so remains to see who that suits
Low rake should be the way to go with the new ground effect aero and merc has always tended to go low rake so again that should suit them.
But perhaps somebody has come up with double diffuser type idea that will take a midfield car to the front
Or the fia will just make the rules up as they go along to help max
Doubt even the first test will revel much possibly not even the second as all teams will be trying to discussed their pace and hide innovations
I have heard the same also, also read that RB put a ton of work into the 2021 car just to win and at the detriment of 2022, not sure how true this is.
Part of me want Mercedes to stick it to RB and FIA for the farce that was the last race ( yes I know its bitter but it still leaves a bad taste ) and blow the rest out of the water, but the rest of me wants another close season, with a number of teams in the running.
I just want one season of utter Mercedes dominance just to fix the travesty of last season. Then I'm all for really close racing after that.
Its been less than a month. The Hand of God is still going strong after more than 35years. If one isn't angry, bitter or worse, then the F1 fan isn't really a fan but just the sort of TV viewer as The Masi was intended for.
Is Masi still on the job? He is not going anywhere, isnt he?
I dont know what sort of tricks he's gonna pull out next year if he get away free from this debacle.

If he fluffed his lines in that pressure cooker red flag situation in Abu Dhabi, imagine the pressure and scrutiny he will be under for every race next season?
I would love to see a before and after photo of him from Jan 2021 and Dec 2022.
The FIA is like the FA.
They'll double-down and protect the inept idiots they have on the payroll instead of admitting their mistake.
You mean rules are rules!!
Yep. His comments don't bode well for the future integrity of F1.
Watch for the spectacle but I don't expect genuine competition from this point forward.
It's only genuine competition when one team win 14 out of 14 championships.
Such an odd opinion. As if amount of wins is in any way linked to whether a competition is genuine or not.
So many scandals swept under the rug and only now people are worried about "genuine competition"

This is the first scandal I can remember that has happened right in front of us. Spygate with McLaren was ridiculous, but it wasn’t played out on the last lap of the last race deciding the championship.
Good to see everyone is starting afresh for the new season.I reckon this will continue until the first race.
Rules are rules*
*That can change at any time depending on who masi wants to win

The FIA/teams or the people in this thread? (guessing the latter)
Definitely the latter. Roll on March.
You're right, what I've said is an example of no competition at all.
That's part of sport though, with a chance for other teams to go for the title by building cars to compete. It's not Verstappens fault and he deserved the championship but the changing the rules at the end of the race showed F1 up for what the FIA want it to be by forcing drama and "entertainment"
McLaren and Jordan using radio to signal lights out, only to be caught when they changed the timing of the radio signal, F1 has a history of cheating, Massa could of been champion if is wasn’t for crashgate.
Crashgate, we didn’t know it was deliberate until a while later (I think when Nelson jr left the team). We didn’t see it play out, complete with radio chats as we did with Masi/Max/Lewis.
I have no idea about the McLaren/Jordan thing, a cursory google hasn’t produced any results so I will have to bow to your knowledge for that.
Some of these are actually clever, but the lights sniffing is outrageous cheating.
Cheers.
This is all teams trying to bend the rules /cheat.
There aren't many examples of the FIA doing it!
You’re either being purposely obtuse or being remarkably dim (no offence).
this is f1 at its best though isn’t it?
gaining an advantage through pure genius. It wasn’t technically illegal, but it was cheating at the same time. Watching them get caught out was absolutely brilliant.
I havent said anything complicated so I'm not sure what's confusing you.
The same team winning every championship for 7 years in a row does far more to undermine the sport's competitiveness and integrity than one rushed dodgy call made with the right intentions.
Never heard about the lights one, that's brilliant
