It’s getting better - young karter was presented his trophy by Max Verstappen and was asked which driver be most admired.
His answer.
Lewis Hamilton!8 -
Was Toto driving the van? Would explain the black villian costume earlier1

Saw three lorries driving down the A14 and M11 with F1 cargo (or at least officially branded)0

Where Hamilton could retire is if the Merc is not up to speed but I doubt that will be the case. In the long term, Hamilton's legacy could easily be strengthened by this.2

I admit i got it wrong, Jean Todt has handed the whitewash brush over to Ben Suleyman and Bernie Ecclestone's wife (new FIA vice president). He (Ben Suleyman) is considering penalising Lewis for not turning up at the FIA gala. You couldn't make these bunch of clowns up. Toto was right, it should be about Sport first and entertainment second.6

“I appreciate Hamilton was hurt by what happened at Abu Dhabi, but rules are rules.”
The irony is extraordinary. Next level stuff.

How would he punish Mercedes’ for not turning up to the results jamboree? Make them use a Honda engine?Have to admit not really been watching the FIA recently, anyone else know anything about the (fairly) new president Ben Sulayman?
must admit I thought FIA was administered out of Switzerland rather than Paris0 -

That'll make the fight with Lewis Hamilton interesting, as imagine he'd consider retirement if he's not happy with the outcome of the Abu Dhabi GP - Cant blame him either, if Masi keeps his job now, then whats to stop F1 just becoming a fixed drama rather than a sport.0 -
Yes, not sure if you read it all but it does say Lewis will will have an idea which way this is heading long before the eve of the new season but they appear to be adding drama into an inquiry that caused the drama.ForeverAddickted said:

We'll be getting some of the new car designs over the new few weeks - Red Bull showing their car today, although imagine the livery wont be too different.
Elsewhere and Lando Norris has signed a new deal with McLaren until 20250 -
That's a big commitment from McLaren and Lando. Wonder if there might be something to those Audi rumours of last season?
Also takes one of the main contenders for any potential Mercedes seat for 2023 off the table.1 -
Going by the likes of Chris Medland and Will Buxton on twitter, looks like its also been done to keep Red Bull and Mercedes at bay, as seems there has been serious interest at the very least from the former - Not good for Gasly really.MarcusH26 said:That's a big commitment from McLaren and Lando.

I'm not surprised there was legit interest from Red Bull in Lando, although it would have curtailed any chance of Gasly getting back to the main team from AT. Think the frontrunners would always have their eye on someone like Lando even with their own internal options.1 - Sponsored links:

The job of Livery Designer at Red Bull must feel as useful as the bloke who fits indicators to a BMW!!

Much nicer from Aston Martin, although didnt we get this colour scheme last year, only for it to be replaced by pink?

Yeah BWT was a last minute addition. Rumours them and Otmar are off to Alpine.
That Aston livery looks lovely and apparently that's the actual car too.1 -
Yeah fully expecting to see pink on the Alpine this year.MarcusH26 said:Yeah BWT was a last minute addition. Rumours them and Otmar are off to Alpine.

Wouldnt be surprised either if it is the actual car, its the first one I've seen with what look like air vents on the sides.0 -
New messages appearing apparently.

They also said that these aren't new, they already have the entire transcript of the race with all the messages from all sides. It's just "new" to the publiceaststandmike said:New messages appearing apparently.

I just wish the Aston had a bit more of the neon lime on it, I fear come raceday the colour won't show up well on TV and they and the Alpine will look the same again2

Lovely from McLaren... Nice to see they've changed it up a bit.
