Yeah, although it would be naïve to think the other big teams don't do the same. Especially Mercedes.

feck off Karen Horner 
Can Horner not just focus on his own car for once in his life and stop moaning about Mercedes. We haven't even seen the true pace of any car yet.
When can we expect some timings? Wonder how many sandbags Mercedes has
And so it begins !
Mercedes come up with what could be an advantage and Horner says its not in the spirt of the regulations !!

Lots hopefully, no need to show their true speed until Q3 race one.When can we expect some timings? Wonder how many sandbags Mercedes has
F1 thread is getting worse than Messi v Ronaldo
Was better with Santi and his crazy meltdowns

Will be interesting to see what happens but if the merc is faster than all the others then for sure this will not be the last we hear about it

In the long ago when I used to go club racing the regulations included being charged fees if you suspected there was something illegal about a competitor's car, equipment etc and challenged it, if the stewards found nothing wrong. Could Horner backtracking mean he's suddenly been reminded how an incorrect complaint will affect his £140 million capped budget?
F1 threads have always been this toxic, this isn’t anything new.
The fantasy team selection will be a lot tougher this year
wonder how the smaller sidepods would function without the mirror support?

Got to say that the 2022 cars, in particular Ferrari look stunning don't they. Haven't yet seen the Mercedes on track. But Little Jack Horner, instead of just sitting in the corner is already trying to play mind games.
They all do challenges all the times but no one does it quite like RB/Horner. Take that new Merc's sidepot as example, he cant shut his mouth before every news outlet run his story. I get that part of the job, but log a formal complaint to FIA and get on with your own car. Its not even FP1 yet.
His inability not know when to silent really iritating me. I quite like him in Seb era, but this one really tiresome.
from what I can see the side pod is not what people have the issue with... its the support surface (cough aero wing) it sits on
Of course most teams sit the mirrors on the side pod because its there... not an option for merc so will be interesting (seems they did raise this with the FIA during development and it has no real impact on the cars wake) but it certainly looks shaped to have an aero effect so will be something i think all teams are interesting in understanding the legality of
With those aero package all over the car and viking horn style that 2008 McLaren was one of my favourite looking car. The livery was mint.
Yeah, 2013, overall design was ugly that year following with pointy nose in 2014. Not a great design that one.
Do you remember Merc and the flappy wing saga last season. Same shit .they all throw a fit . Lewis especially. It's part of the drama.enjoy it
Every bit of airflow as a number of functions as it flows from front to back. The objective being to ensure that it flows with as little drag or turbulence.
So it is highly likely that the mirror supports will have a function on the airflow into the sidepod/radiator.
F1 is all about innovation. Something Horner seems to have missed.
Of course i remember. I will enjoy this one like as of the previous one. Just the excessive moaning that get a little out of my liking.
I really, really hope Ferrari sort their shit out this season. I'm a fan of both their drivers and think they're really good racers. You put them in the right car and I think they could compete for the title. I think Ferrari actually did alright last season finishing 3rd, I just hope they can kick on from there.
Quite frankly, ANYTHING that doesn't involve Mercedes is fine by me.

Once he PM'ed me to dare me report him to mods or report his post to mods. Cant even remember what i've said to him exactly. All i said was some laughing emoji and told him to calm down iirc. He was really angry and took offence of everything back then.F1 thread is getting worse than Messi v Ronaldo

I don't see much toxicity in the F1 thread. Most people are poking a bit of fun at spoilt manchild Horner for throwing his toys out of the pram so early in the season! Nothing wrong with that.
I had a few run ins with him, in thread and PMs, he was an angry person in general.
He was not banned just for his F1 posts.
Who the heck are yall talking about??
I mostly remember him from the Trump thread where he was spamming green smilies. I feel I have missed a lot of quality content now.
Just look at the size of the Alfa Romeo sidepods. Massive.
Oh, you missed all the fun then.
Traditionally Merc could have relied on the votes of their customer teams (so they would only 2 of McLaren, AM and Williams) to vote with them. However, current regulations give engine suppliers much less scope to screw their customers. As it is though, I can't see 8 teams voting for this as well as the authorities.
A Ferrari fan called Santi. Right now he'd be calling Ferrari's season over already thanks to Vettel's helmet or something. His meltdowns were glorious.
Who does a side pod look like - I haven’t got a fecking clue about all this technical stuff.
They all moan excessively. Maybe because totto does it in a German accent makes it more bearable?
I assume "who " should be "what"
It's the air intake for the radiators on either side of the driver .
The side pods, or lack of, won't be what gets protested.
It'll be the wing mirrors/the bits under them and how they contribute to aero.

Yeah. The picture above is quite dramatic.
If that isn't gone by the first race I'd be very surprised, it's a fecking mid car wing
gonna be interesting as merc are going to point out it has to be attached to something... and is there any rules about how unaerodynamic that something has to be?
I believe merc submitted the design showing it does not impact the wake of dirty air from the car... but quite clearly that is s very sculpted bit of kit (just like a side pod intake would be normally be)
wonder what impact its removal would have... does it channel air into the small sidepod?
