Since when has the legality of F1 car design been decided on the spirit, rather than the letter, of the regulations? 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean to say that Mazespin is not in F1 solely due to his talent? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where he got it from, so watch this space as it were! We were talking about this at work last night. The comments from Gunther naming Fittipaldi over the last week or so and the way the press comments were worded had us both certain that F1's number one driver (as we referred Mazepin) would be out in very short order. I read this morning about his dad forcing the team to swap (threat of pulling sponsorship) the cars because his son didn't have a fair deal last year. He was just as bad, whichever chassis he had. Better off without a sponsor like that pulling the strings, regardless of the current politics Jo 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 3, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2022 War isn’t fair, it’s insane and we literally pay for it for years mentally and financially. Danil should remember it’s not fair to have missiles hit your flat either before speaking out without tempering it with comparison. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
