Forecast is predicting around 90F/32C race weekend. Still kind of early but drivers are gonna have a bad time. And not just from a bad track.

Bottas tags along with her and does the shorter courses for the non-pros. Nice. I used to crit race which is basically NASCAR on bikes, and I know all these dudes are in top shape, but being protected by a CF cocoon has to give you some sense of invincibility when diving into a corner vs on a bike.

Wasn't there a rumour Alfa were possibly dropping out and Sauber had been looking at other constructors to sponsor them? I wonder if the improved performance will convince Alfa to stick around.

I wonder if the improved performance will convince Alfa to stick around. There‘s a recent interview with Vasseur where he said he‘s looking into options to become less reliant. I sadly can only offer it in German: https://www.motorsport-total.com/formel-1/news/vasseur-im-interview-was-bottas-mit-den-ganz-grossen-gemeinsam-hat-22050101 Or Italian: https://it.motorsport.com/f1/news/vasseur-esclusivo-sto-vivendo-il-mio-sogno-in-f1-con-lalfa/10246709/ Maybe Google Translate helps.

https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/1521061969880625162?s=20&t=xRkA72P4c4I9tWXI0bzDsw Audi is ready to offer around 500 million euros ($556.30 million) for British luxury sports carmaker McLaren as a means to enter, a source told Reuters in March, while Porsche intends to establish a long-term partnership with racing team Red Bull starting in several years' time.

So by 2025 there could be 26 drivers if VW and Andretti lock in. Cars are getting bigger so I hope Monaco is phased out. The run up to turn 17 looks ridiculously long. https://youtu.be/d1zGK2uQK5E

CancerCakes posted:You know red bull have been running two teams for a while right? Alpha Tauri are explicitly a B-team to cultivate drivers for the A-team and have been from the start. It was never their intention to compete with Red Bull. Its also generally accepted, at least early on, that some transfer of tech and info went on between the two Unless its been stated otherwise, the assumption is both Audi and Porsche would be competing at the same level which raises questions about 1. the point and 2. what's stopping them sharing data

ja_raul posted:So by 2025 there could be 26 drivers if VW and Andretti lock in. Cars are getting bigger so I hope Monaco is phased out. both Audi and Porsche would be joining with existing teams, so nothing new - just re-branding of Red Bull engines as Porsche, and Audi supplying a team currently powered by Mercedes. if Audi do decide to create a new team, that would take us to 22 cars, and Andretti joining would go to 24. I believe there are a maximum of 13 team slots right now, so 26 would be it. Rhopunzel posted:so can someone explain the point of having two arms of the same manufacturer operating competing motorsports programs and how it wont be a conflict of interest at all? As to why spend the money: they've got some levels of autonomy, and clearly both sides have presented business cases they claim can work. Audi's is balls deep, and either going in hard with McLaren or building their own team, thus learning the lessons Renault have had to teach themselves a few times. Porsche is the badge job, to try and partner with Red Bull, so I wouldn't be shocked if factory Porsches in other areas start wearing Red Bull schemes if that goes through. Factory racing is expensive, spending others' money is better than yours. But the "two arms of the same manufacturer, plus an existing team, and they might be sharing notes?" is the reason why there's been hesitancy apparently with the existing manufacturers. "New manufacturers" get some extra funding to develop, but what happens when there are two new manufacturers under the same roof, and would Porsche and Red Bull PT both count as "new" manufacturers? Would any of the current design of the Honda RBPT carry over? That's what needs to get decided.
