All the Max/ Lewis stuff is boring, along with the Budget cap.
Time to get back to the racing.

F1 2022 Season

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
But that's boring too..
What makes you say that? Does it lose F1 a lot of money?
Mexico City secured a new Formula 1 contract until 2025
Why, the atmosphere is electric, as seen yesterday it's a track that is extremely challenging for drivers and cars - every small mistake can cost you a lot. Which makes it super entertaining for the watchers also and haven't heard a single thing about drivers not enjoying it, they usually love those tough conditions.
On that subject i.e. racing. Whats the thoughts on new rules for this season? Yes cars can follow closer which is a positive. However the gap between front of the grid to the back looks as huge as ever. Personally i dont think scaling areo i.e. CFD and wind tunnel time wil work the way it was originally sold.
Honestly think F1 should try ballast, that would bring the front and the rear of the grid closer together.
It would stop the boredom of domination by a driver for a decade i.e. schmacher, hamilton and maybe verstappen (sorry pauldy i went there).
F1 has always been donated by one for a period, don't really think that's a problem.
The problem is lack of competition
When Senna and Sch were winning, they have competition and good ones at that, ones that took the fight to them made them work hard
Last season Max and Lewis was in that vain, well right up to the last race , but not ging there agin.
Lewis only had that a few seasons, Rosberg being the main one, Seb won his 4 with not that much trouble.
The best season were the ones, with end of season races that meant something.
Much preferred the days of Senna , Prost, Hunt, Lauda, Mansall and others.
Closer racing is what we watch for, agreed the top teams are streets ahead of the rest, would ballast bring them closer, yes it would, but no way teams would agree to it.
F1 used to be all speed now its trye management, fuel management and aero and how to gain a 10th here a 100th there.
Wind tunnels and simulation don't always work, when Mercedes tested the skinny pods in the tunnel and in simulation, they must have worked then, but clearly in real life on the track they did not.

If you can’t tell the difference between 2021 and 2022, nobody can help you understand anything.
It’s literally in the first sentence of the article and the bloody url.

Hes not happy with ted kravitz...
Hes not happy with ted kravitz...
He was talking to him on Thursday - https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/12731787/max-verstappen-one-two-the-target-for-rest-of-season
Not sure I agree.
Any F1 history book will have details of Masi and last seasons championship gift to Max. In retrospect, the bending of the rules is even more obvious now than it was at that time.
Wish Horner would also join the boycott.
Well, obviously it's spent from 2021 budget, I am not stupid. 2022 budget isn't even spent by teams yet nor we know the budget used yet, but my point is that 2021 budget is mostly used development for 2022 car, and not gaining advantage during 2021 season - where Red Bull was Hamilton's main rival.
Well I can't say for sure, but Perez being a homegrown talent which Mexico hasn't seen for a long time - usually these GP's get huge attendance to support their man.
Once Perez leaves the casuals might not bother to attend, i'm sure there will be a drop in attendance.
Maybe there will be enough interest to keep it? we shall see. The track isn't exactly a mega exciting one either
Aww a bit precious isn't he? sheesh. Must have touched a nerve there
Kravitz is more than allowed an opinion that he's certainly not alone in.
looked happy enough in that interview, looked like he wanted to be there.
Strange turn around.
Horner involved ?
You should just stop posting when you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Go read up on the actual rules and when it’s being implemented before making up bullshit.
Did you see what Ferrari are doing with all that extra money that have lying around the place
So you keep attacking me and acting condenscending towards me for some reason(even though I wasn't harsh on you in any post) without actually making any point whatsoever. I think biterness some of you have towards Red Bull is actually not normal behaviour.
Anyway, I'll leave this here to prove I am right and that's it from me:

Of course he's entitled to his opinion but he certainly shouldn't be using such stark language on an actual broadcast, especially calling the integrity of the sport into question.
Love Ted but this is a gaffe from him. If he'd expressed something like this on a podcast or whatever that's fair enough and you could call Verstappen precious but that seems out of line on an F1-licensed broadcast.
Ted is a bumbling idiot who doesn't seem to understand that he's on a global broadcast and not his own Twitch stream. It's really nauseating hearing the Sky bias towards British drivers every race.
That's acceptable for a regional broadcast. But they are also the global broadcast. I think FOM needs to just make everyone happy and assign a separate global crew.

Given Max was interviewed by Ted himself on Thursday this obviously has a whiff of the bullshit about it.
Although he'd be well within his rights to put Ted back in his place. Alonso gets hounded endlessly by the Sky ghouls like Ted and Crofty for less controversial commentary, and unlike Sky's media team he's not paid explicitly to appear impartial.

Is this the start of F1 cancel culture?
always has been. hamilton only got 7 world championships because he is black.
Good decision by RB. Liberty Media should consider cutting Sky and just use their own commentators for the world feed. Unfortunately they recently extended their deal until 2029(?) I think.
Ted K was right. Hamilton was robbed.
I get the feeling this was wholly down to the difficult questions posed by David Croft in their press conference on Friday. Max spoke to Ted fine on Thursday, so I don't think there's any animosity about comments made in America.
20:00 for the race right?
I'd rather they boycott to get rid of Crofty and Herbert. Ted obviously has the clown reputation but his bitterness is a lot less pointed than the other two.
Sky's coverage has needed a dramatic overhaul for too long as it is. The weekends that Brundle hasn't been in the paddock have been absurdly poor, he holds it all together.

Yep
Oh I totally agree with Ted, I'm just happy we don't have to listen to wanker anymore.
I'd agree with that. It's noticeably better when he's there and it's obvious he's got some respect amongst teams that some of the others don't seem to have. When Rosberg was there instead it was awful.
Compared to the rest Brundle always seems balanced and impartial and, crucially, he has insight and actually knows what he's talking about. Ted and Crofty have no racing experience or knowledge and are essentially just Hamilton stans with media training.
Are they?
