It would be great to see the afternoon session like a quali with Max and Lec fighting it out and no doubt the Merc all of a sudden speeding up.

Well George just went the quickest, but on the C4 tire: Russell (Mercedes) 1m19.608s, C4

The fastest so far during testing was: Lando Norris (McLaren) 1:19.568, C4.

So George isn't really that far off the fastest time during testing thus far, and that's still with a struggling car.

Again I would take all these numbers with a grain of salt, I doubt any team has fully correlated their cars yet and are actually pushing for times. They are probably all still learning their cars.

It all happens fast suddenly and Zhou overcooks it in the psychedelic Alfa on a bend stopping the session again,Gasly has a bump and Alonso blows his PU.

It happens in testing I suppose, especially since that alfa seems to have some issues.

I can't wait for Bahrain, I know teams are going to bring new upgrades especially to fix this porpoising issue and that will be really exciting to see. I know AMR brought new wheel vanes today and it is interesting. Some other teams like alfa have brought parts too I have heard.

The Ferrari is changing floors also and I gather turquoise isn't the AM's new colour, last I look it was BRG lol probably the light angle.

I think they upped the exposure in the shots donuts easier to see the new vanes.

Interesting alot of teams making changes, dang porpoising.

It's VET's turn to breakdown now and cause RF with a few minutes to go, well I'm going on my 5 mile walk now while they have their lunch.

Shame they didn't cancel it yesterday and I gather all sporting events with them also.

irunalot · 02-25-2022, 09:10 AM

Looks like HAAS have removed the Urakali branding for today and are having a meeting about removing them as a sponsor tomorrow. This might be the end of Mazepin as well.

Man, HAAS gan't catch a break with sponsors. First Rich Energy drinks and now the Russians. Andretti might have a team to buy as Gene is growing more and more disgruntled. I never liked Russians sponsoring the only American team anyway. Plus, they get rid of MazeSpin as a bonus.

I read somewhere he's got two other sponsors,non ruski, in line while he uses his own funds to keep them going. Mazepin? who knows.

Another RB review with Peter Windsor and Scarbs

From what I'm reading they have some sponsors ready to go with other drivers.

Racing as a whole seems to bring out the shadiest sponsors

M5Rick · 02-25-2022, 10:45 AM

Some hard talk in is that Marko has said McLaren are running low fuel to look quick and are chasing sponsors and as far as Ferrari are concerned they do look stable for a change but again he asks quizzically how much fuel is on board. Their speed simply doesn't add up for the RB advisor.

Next season will be super competitive i cant wait to start watching F1 again, the netflix series completely changed my perspective on F1 racing!

Not to mention Lewis will be eager to beat Max in every single race...

iamwingman · 02-25-2022, 11:05 AM

KMag returning to Haas. I like it. Good for kmag. Hope the car has actually improved.

Not really official yet. Supposedly him or hairy dude from Alfa who lost his seat.

iamwingman · 02-25-2022, 12:26 PM

Giovannazi. Probably spelled wrong. Decent guy. Still part of Ferrari program. I think kmag would fare better due his haas experience.
