Formula One - 2021 Season

[Antonov]

Bottom post of the previous page:

Brawn's livery was gorgeous.

The wheels, however, we not.

this?



Ah yes, I remember how they had these 'potholes' on them in a bid to improve aero. I believe Ferrari were the first to introduce them.

I don't see them on the 2010 cars, so presumably they were banned after the 2009 season.

We are going back to wheel covers for 2022! Yay??

Just bought f1tv - yearly subscription for under €50.- and finally the possibility of casting.

Yeah I notice they are offering 25% off F1TV subscriptions here atm, and also seen euro based websites offering discounts .... dont know how much it is mind you. I wont be needing it. I dont think it was even available here previously due to the issues they had getting it to function as promised.
I already pay for the Sky coverage through my Foxtel All Motorsports pack. I subscribe to Foxtel anyway for non sporting stuff but an extra A$25 per month (about 14 Euros) gets me all the Motorsport worldwide I can want, from every F1 session live to the same with Supercars, also Indycar F2,F3, MotoGP, Superbikes delayed BTCC and some live DTM, same with WRC and also I believe NASCAR is back on TV here. Plus access to all the archive stuff and old season reviews. We have a 24/7 motorsports channel often supplemented by other channels on a Sunday when there is multiple events on.

Anyway F1/motorsports media is probably another thread subject in its own right and not for this already very diverse thread.

Pretty sure we're still unable to get that in the UK until the Sky contract is up.

Yeah neither Australia or the UK appear on the list of countries available according to this 25% discount offer listing..

Which confuses me a bit because our local websites are advertising 25% off F1TV for Aus as a pre-season special.

surely you can't say green and red are the best combination...

[erwin greven]

Nee...

The Italians seem to think it works on their flag!
Castrol seems to think it works.
Mazda seemed to think it worked on their beautiful Le Mans winner.

Not terrible, just getting a bit more messy

Mmm, I'm not particularly impressed by it. It might be the angle, but it looks like it drunk too much Lambrusco and gobbled too much pizza.

I doubt they drink Lambrusco (Lamborghini's wine).

[MonteCristo]

Green and red work fine. It's just that it's so small.

Looks like a smudge.

ALA Ferrari...
Craig likes the two tone red.
Craig does not like the green bitsy-bits.

The racing is to start tomorrow, with the first weekend of pre-season testing

I'd assume all teams are fully setting up at this time.

In terms of pace going into winter testing, I'd like to think the consensus is that they will pretty much start where they left off:

Leading group
Mercedes and Red Bull

Higher midfield group
McLaren and Aston Martin

Midfield group
Alpine and Ferrari

Lower midfield group
Alpha Tauri and (possibly) Alfa Romeo

Backmarkers
Williams and Haas
