I know it's first day of testing, but boy would I love if Williams hands off the red lantern to Haas.

That haas is the most unmemorable car I’ve ever seen. Like a generic airfix “race car” that someone with no imagination has painted.

Nah, that still goes to the 2019 Williams imo. Allthough it was so bad, that it might be memorable...

Does that haas have last year’s William’s nose?

This day had a nice Mad Max feeling, imo. They should race there all the time with a sandstorm on. Plus sprinklers.

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
The results of the Bahrain GP were revealed to me last night in a dream. Lewis gets a rare DNF, Bottas wins, Mazepin gets 6th, Yuki Tsunoda 18th. You heard it here first.

Until the last 5 laps of testing on the last day where they purple each sector in turn before backing off.

Pre season testing they don't have to give a poo poo about number of engines or we right. I wonder how much life the engines lost by ingesting a bunch of sand

look the verstappo need straws at which to grasp and if that means mercedes barely even driving the cars until now and just drifting around the track not even trying to follow the rubber and obviously hammering the throttle out of every apex to look like last year's vettel gives them the impression that somehow their lifted-rear end cars are gonna steal the WDC then by god I'll act the part

mercedes has a different vibe this year and i think everyone over there is done with f1 or at least running and managing a team. Totto will run ASSton Business. Lewis will start his music career and Valteri Bottas.

The current generation of F1 cars sure is ugly. Alpha Tauri did something with the logo to make the central hump look smaller, so their car looks a bit better, but the overall impression is ugh. I hope 2022 looks as good as the concepts.

Rear wings have a 1980s Sierra RS500 Cosworth vibe.
