People still conflate decisions by the stewards vs decisons of the race director.
F1 2022 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
You talk as if Masi has zero input
he can decide what's sent to the stewards, whether it's a deemed a penalty or no further action.Maybe he isn't in charge of the total outcome of a penalty, but multiple times he's decided to investigate something which shouldn't.
They literally defended the farce that was the end of last season by saying it was in his power as race director to overrule the rules
The comment was about the Masi performance over the whole year, not the Abu Dhabi race.They literally defended him by saying it was in his power as race director to overrule the rules
I don't know how one would possibly judge his performance over the whole year without taking into account the defining decision of the season.
Yep. It was a farce even leading up to the final race.
From half points benefiting Max to Brazil overtaking rules being changed also benefiting Max. Its a joke. The sport needs some big changes. Bigger than just changing Masi. The lack of accountability is poor. I fear change won't be forthcoming.

American team with the Russian flag on the wing. Still can't wrap my head around it.
Thats looks goddamn awful. Especially the front view, horrendous.
Proper hideous.
It reflects the sponsorship of Uralkali, the Russian potash and fertiliser exporter and producer which in 2013 was taken over by Uralchem, the company of which Mazepin's father Dmitry is chairman. but a Russian flag on a US team is strange, even more so now with the on going tension between the 2.
The HAAS car look fecking horrible, lets hope the others look better.
Hopefully its not another 2014 cars. Even F1 version of new car looks better compare to Haas.
Yep I know the backstory thanks to DTS. Awkward nonetheless.
Wtf is going on with some of those shapes?? Looks like it has a gentleman's moustache.
Most of the launches this year will be dumbed down visually, they won't reveal any unique aero until the first test.
13 pages in already! My, I may have to do some catch up for some gems in here. 
Just love this thread. Nice to see Masi may be getting the boot. Any other interesting developments?

Surely a white background would have helped us see the f'ing car and its lines better than this disco club background. Hopefully redbull comes with something more interesting next week
Possibly even last run of the second test... perhaps even qualifying at the first race
Do Haas even develop their cars? No wonder they went first, good marketing.
how can nobody spot any differences?! there’s like 3 giant obvious ones, and these are the bog basic press release cars
F1 reddit has a good thread highlighting the differences between this and last year's haas. Quite a clear difference, I also believe its an early test model so it has been changed since these pictures even more.
This. Quite bizarre reactions, not sure what everyone is looking at.

That spot doesn't look very 'back' to me...
I think it’s taken somewhere in Stevenage. Maybe on the outskirts tbf which is perhaps why you didn’t recognise it.
It's either Nevada or Utah. Both will make anyone run back to work after a couple of weeks, don't worry
Or maybe Stevenage.
True, it might very well be one of those parts of Stevenage I have never been to. Or maybe it's around the Mercedes F1 Factory in Brackley, I haven't seen all of its surroundings either.
Is he back to being what? What is Lewis back too? Looks like he is working as a bin man? Got the trousers and everything.

Both ugly but you can compare easily here

Expect the Williams car launch to be revealed soon. They did it over the weekend, not sure why they haven't announced a date for it yet.
I've seen some photos of it so I imagine it'll be released publicly in the next couple of days.
As far as I could tell from a quick glance they're more detail on it than the Haas model showed.

Because you love narcissistic, self obsessed idiots?Its reasons like this why I absolutely love this man
Harsh on Ronnie.
Horner is great for the sport, as is Toto.
