I bet he did, does he realise he was sacked cause he did exactly what Horner asked of him. I said before, Red Bull will employ him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, it’s unlikely especially in the short term but I wouldn’t be shocked if it happened one day as a thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I was really looking forward to watching a full day of pre season testing coverage on sky f1 tomorrow. But all they're producing is a half hour review at 8pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted February 23, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 23, 2022 I'm not tifosi, but whilst pretty much all the cars this year look fantastic, you could display that Ferrari as a piece of artwork. It's absolutely stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted February 23, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 23, 2022 I'm wondering with all this sidepod malarkey whether Red Bull have stolen a march on development this year. Strange to think that hardly anyone knows at this stage who will even be competitive. We might get another Brawn situation, where an otherwise lowly team finds a way to thrape everyone.

Would be difficult to commentate on the cars without timing I would suspect. Maybe that's why? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely stunning. It's definitely the most aesthetically pleasing of the cars. All curvy an' ting. I like how Ferrari have basically said they'll put everyone else's sidepods through the CFD and reserve the right to change to the best one if that's what they find Cuz I've seen The Race (and an article was posted in here) not be entirely sure about how the Ferrari solution will come together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted February 23, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 23, 2022 That Red Bull sidepod sure is ugly. And lots of weird complex things towards the front that I can't make out from the photos. The Ferrari just looks so clean and visually appealing in comparison.

Lichfield Dean Posted February 23, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 23, 2022 Those times aren't too slow considering it's testing. I guess they really aren't going to be much slower than last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Hope it isn't a season of easy DRS overtakes, that gap looks massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the cars are set up now so they don't suffer the 'dirty air' from the car in front. So whether they really need DRS now is another story. I don't really think it's going to have the same effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And say what you like about how it ended last season, butI don't think f1 has had as much publicity - and ther associtaed buzz - as it's having right now for a very long time going into a new season.

I think it'll still have the same effect. it'll still reduce drag and therefore increase the top speed. The question is, like you say, whether they NEED it. If the new aerodynamics are good enough to increase close racing and overtaking then I'd like to think they could get rid of DRS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Ted Kravitz loving the Red Bull car. Says its a greatest hits of all the new ideas other cars have. That would disappoint me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
