I forgot this thread existed.

 

Binotto has been let go by Ferrari. I'm looking forward to seeing how well they do in 2023. The first couple of races of 2022 went very well for Ferrari, then there were repeated mess ups, almost all from the team rather than drivers. The Ferrari seems to be a really good car, but the team sucked.

Yeah that's been the theme for them for the past several years, it seems. Frustrating to see, and considering they've rotated team principals a couple times recently, I think it's becoming clear that it's a larger, perhaps organizational, issue. That reminds me of the Williams situation, I'd assumed that a lot of their troubles were due to the fact that running a "family" team in the traditional format doesn't work in the modern era of F1, and that the structure of the team changing would fix their woes, but it doesn't seem to have done so yet. I'm interested to see what their next few years will look like.

Lol right? imo kind of embarrassing on the drivers' parts. Like I get why they do it, but you'd think they would have the ability to not break the rules.

Nyck de Vries F1 contract has been killed to death. He's being replaced by Daniel Ricciardo for the next F1 race in Hungary on the 23rd.

A little unexpected to be honest, but very, very welcome for me.

Looks like Hammyboi isn't going to get that 8th win.

...Carlos Sainz will be really fired up - hopefully he lands at a good team

I just copied and pasted the URL. That's likely down to Twitter being absolute garbage now.

@Slaughtahouse Yeah, I had to disable my anti-tracker and do a refresh to get the code @Andrew shared to display the linked content properly.

 

It shows up styled correctly now.
