What does his post count matter? He’s a long time, valuable, and insightful contributor to this community and that alone deserves respect. Not pointing at anyone specifically, just want to say that if we push out the long time members then what we will be left with is a bunch of strangers ranting over what other strangers have to say.
I suspect none of us want that otherwise we be on twitter instead of here right? Anyways, much respect and look forward to discussing the upcoming season with you all! |

F1 has been sensible in terms of getting the vaccine, i.e. I think every F1 driver has had theirs. I think there's a fair chance Oz can go ahead, at least we shouldn't have the problems like a certain tennis player missing out on the comp

That first race where i predict the overtaking will be no different than 2021.
BUT Max v Lewis with the added intrigue of George Russell should be good fun |

Sit back and watch how officialdom tries to explain how it was not possible to predict that overtaking has not improved despite the blindingly obvious reasons still remaining. Too much reliance on the front wing, too little reliance on the undercar tunnels, cars that are too heavy, heavy wheels that will add to the problem, what else?

According to Zak Brown, one thing we might not be looking forward to is Sprint Races.
'Last year a financial deal was agreed to provide the teams with a small payment to offset potential damage from more racing. But Brown said the big teams were trying to take advantage of this by pushing for a larger than necessary increase in the budget cap, which is set at $140m (£103m) this year. "A couple of teams, and one team in particular, wanted a $5m budget cap increase, which was just ridiculous," Brown said. "And no rational facts behind it. When you challenged them, they go to what if and could and you've got to anticipate. You sit there and go 'This is just nonsense.'" F1 rules dictate that for a change in the rules to be instigated in the calendar year of the championship, eight teams need to agree to it. So teams can hold F1 to ransom if they can get others to agree. To agree to the sprint events for the 2023 season requires only five teams to agree, and Brown said F1 should vote that through first and then try to agree on this season. "Maybe there can be a compromise raised and we raise it a little bit, and we start in 2022 or we skip 2022, and a couple of these teams should have to explain to the fans why there is no sprint races," he said.' |

Saw that too about the sprint races. To be honest, they didn't really add much last year, so I won't really miss them if they don't happen

I think it's a bunch of greedy b*****ds at Liberty up against a bunch of greedy b*****ds at Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull (who else would it be?!) and two wrongs making a right. I know some like sprint races, but most fans don't (https://www.racefans.net/2021/11/02/...three-against/) so the only reason they exist is for the money from sponsorship and fans at the track. I am expecting F1 to just give the teams what they want, but hopefully it will instead lead to them being scrapped.

Unless you mistakenly assumed worked was completely eradicate it and no one would ever get ill again ever. They work because they reduce transmission, infection and, here is the key, reduce the severity of the illness. Yes, let’s hope that the development of the virus and success of the vaccine and other measures mean that omicron is the last significant variant we have any worry over. Without the vaccinations the impact could have been much worse, especially on hospital resources. As demonstrated in areas with lower uptake rates. There is a thread in parc ferme for you to discuss further if you wish. |

Sprint races add nothing, It's just the first stint without the pitstops.
