Black wings, Golden wheels and proper Ferrari red.
That should be a hard condition for their historical payment.

but its not new. It was available on the YouTube page 4 days after the race :roll:

Some people really need to get over themselves. God, imagine if Lewy actually retires, the UK would be a modern day Atlantis. :whistling:

The very best outcome of the FIA's inquiry would be for Masi to be moved into a new position, where his responsibility would be to talk to the team principals and receive their complaints, and then relay the pertinent ones to the actual race director. A filter of sorts.

This would satisfy those who wish him to be removed as race director, but at the same time still force them to have to talk to him if they want to protest during a race.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Imagine the storm from the Dutch media/Verstappen fanboys if that had been Mercedes. You know they'll continue screaming about bias toward Mercedes.

There are other examples of Horner/Wheatley pressuring Masi too. Like Brazil, telling him to let them race after Verstappen pushed Hamilton so wide they needed their passes to get back in again. Masi is just so weak.

It's new to me, and regardless of anybody's bias I don't think it's rolleye material as if it was normal. Nobody wins from having this sort of dogshit stain the sport. Some day instead of Evil Toto and Lady Looouwise losing to a deserving champion, it could be a beloved popular driver losing to an undeserving asshole with exactly the same scenario. This crap needs to go away completely and leave it as fair as possible.

Particularly with people's lives at hand. See how hectic and rushed the whole conversations were, some day an overzealous race director will get a track livened when it shouldn't be, and kill a person on track (marshall/driver/spectator). All those whiney little radio divas will have to answer for it.

Wasn't it Imola when Stroll realised there were marshals still on track?

The rolleye is because we're 2 fucking months later and some fuckwit on twitter is posting it as if he just found damning evidence.

They should have closed that communications channel much much sooner. It was both teams crying bloody murder while Masi and co should have bee able to focus on getting things cleared up instead of listening to 2 crybabies.

Smooth and sleek. Love the way the nose and front wing are. Always hated high noses.

I have the feeling it won't look like that come pre-season testing.

Looks too much like the F1 showcar. Many said when they saw the car at Silverstone, that their cars don't look like that at all.

The story is that Oracle are paying 9 figures for that spot on the sidepod (and the title sponsorship).

I doubt it was that cheap the last time.

I swear this launch season will feature the least amount of news of any launch season

No-one is going to be showing shit until testing, and if the first is behind closed doors, they might well be covering their cars up the second they get into the pit lane too...
