In theory, this would be a great approach for all countries. However, this conveniently ignores the immoral actions many other countries are / have been involved in. The line appears to be drawn only where you are told it should be, told by countries who have crossed the same line many times before and continue to do so.
F1 2022 Season

Interesting. They do have a long history in F1 which may have benefited their design. Harping back to the good old days of ground effect!
Lewis is confirmed for this season! Objectively that will make 2022 much more interesting for F1.
He was always going to drive this season, most of the reports of him walking away were from the press.

Did not see this coming, fair play to FIA.
According to Business Petersburg, the Igora track has cost about 11 billion rubles ($192 million),that track is now one massive white elephant.
It will be worth ten times as many rubles soon, solid investment

Sochi was the race with big long straights if I remember and Mercedes won every single one of them (last year Norris should've won). Didn't know they were switching to the new track - what a waste.
a cool £240 million for 6 years work
he’ll only be 30 years old when that Contract finishes
and will then get another insane contract to see him too retirement no doubt
it’s staggering what TV has done to todays sportsmen and womens wealth
According to Sky, Haas have parted ways with Mazepin. Pietro filling the seat for the moment.

Amazing how much can change in 12 months from Helmut Marko - https://www.gpblog.com/en/news/7797...ishment-at-hamilton-s-salary-at-mercedes.html
Good move by Verstappen locking down an agreement before salary caps begin to implement over the coming years.
depends where you read, The Scum says sacked , Express says Axed and Mail says dropped, but it does look like he has gone from HAAS.
Quite easy to do when he’s the worst driver on the grid too.
Oh for sure, I just left it at parted ways. I don't really care how it happened, I'm just glad he's no longer in a seat he didn't deserve to begin with.
Even if they were to host it, how will FA get paid? The sanctions would have made that difficult if not impossible.
Marko's a troll.
I can't remember too many as bad/worse than he was over the past 10 years. Take away the car was one of the worst on the grid, he was genuinely appalling
And absolutely dangerous. Just Imagine him driving in the middle of the pack every other week
Rio Haryanto enters the chat...
Vettel in 2050.
There's a programme called "Duel: Verstappen vs Hamilton" on Sky Sports Main Event at 7pm Sunday, then part 2 the following week
Hope I can find a way to watch it as we don't have Sky so have to rely on other ways on viewing the F1

Haas terminate Mazepins contract, who'd you like to see drive the haas?
opens up the door to Piastri. Schwartz man is Russian so no chance
Mazepin is not a happy chappy.

I’m all for sanctioning Russia but it seems odd that he did some personally shitty things and they stuck by him and now they’re sacking him for something that isn’t his doing…
He had no place in F1, he was a serious accident waiting to happen, it was only daddy's money keeping him in it, now thats gone, so has he .
I agree, I don’t want him in the sport either, but I don’t think this makes Haas look ‘good’ for getting rid.
Did HAAS have any choice ? banned from the British GP I suspect other will follow suit, but I do agree harsh from them.
Hard to see how HAAS will survive the season with out the money he brought in.
His father has direct links to Putin, was in Moscow at the business meeting with Putin last week and was paying for his drive. How is anyone having an issue with this?
I don’t disagree that he should go as he’s a shite driver but they were happy to let him get away with sexual assault/harassment previously. I don’t think Mazepin personally has done anything wrong in this Russia situation, has he?
is Fittipaldi a better driver though?
Probably not but his dad is fully deserving of sanctions, he's nowhere near good enough to get in F1 if daddy isn't paying for his seat, and furthermore he's a prick on a personal level so I don't even feel a tiny bit sorry for him. Good riddance, don't let the door hit you on the way out Marzipan. Next step, rid F1 of the Saudi royal family's influence. Probably impossible but we can hope.
Absolutely why this is actually a good decision. Maverick driver with little talent, best he stays off and Fittipaldi comes in instead.
Absolute contenders!!!
Might have to do with his father getting sanctioned which means Haas won't see that money coming in. Why would they want to keep him on when it's bad PR and there's no more hush money to pretend that Mazepin isn't wasting a seat.
No need to imagine, just watch Verstappen before the Red Bull put him at the front.
that’s what I mean though. It’s not a moral move, it’s a money one.
The only reason they stuck by him then is because they were in desperate need of his dads sponsorship money. It doesn't seem like that's the case any more.
