Lots of waffle in this video, but in summary: Alonso's wheel wouldn't have hit Leclerc without the halo, but it deflected the whole car enough that the front wing didn't knock his face off. Definitely prevented serious harm/death in the F2 accident. And aeroscreen would've been considerably less effective.

The last years Austrian and Germans have dominated formula 1 while the plucky lads from Maranello are fighting against the racism from the Fia. British teams are very bad and soon enough all of them will be bought by russian petro dollars or arabian blood money. Very sad!

The last ten seasons have either been won by the team from Brackley or the team from Milton Keynes which I think are located in the UK? I could be wrong though.

Also Ferrari is literally bankrolled by Big Tobacco, there isn't much moral high ground to be had in the whole sport

The chassis of the Ferrari 2019 was approved yesterday by the FIA. The Maranello team has passed the last crash tests at the CSI in Bollate yesterday in the presence of the technical delegate of the International Federation, Jo Bauer.

This would only be interesting if they'd failed the test. Can you update the thread on how clean the windows are at the factory next? Or what the current weather in Maranello is. Or what colour the new Ferrari will be.

Is Racing Point the worst team name in years? I think it might be, I'm struggling to think of a worse name, apart from Scuderia Ferrari Mission Winnow, which is just laughable

Force India was pretty bad, we just got used to it. Toro Rosso remains an extremely dumb figleaf covering Red Bull cheating by having two teams. Virgin is just a weird brand in general. Are we counting BMW Sauber Ferrari? Because that was very silly.

It was my understanding that Racing Point is still a placeholder until they announce a title sponsor, so it's meaningless by design, but I guess time is running out for that and they'll just plaster the car with daddy Stroll's businesses.
