F1 2022 SEASON: NEWS - RUMOURS

How you feeling, Kimi?

"Bwoah.."

He's fine!

 

Turkey now apparantly - shame we couldn’t see it in action at Monza

 

They must be gutted, home gp and no upgrades.

 

Baaaaah. That's cruddy. Would have been good to see if they can move a bit closer to the front there.

Makes you wonder if it's a delay because it might not be the boost they're hoping for. Would be a bit of mess to flop in front of the Tifosi.

 

Which seats are left to resolve now then?

I don't think Giovinazzi has been confirmed at Alfa Romeo yet, and technically neither Haas driver has been confirmed but that seems a formality. It's probably the same situation with Stroll and Vettel at Aston Martin.

Mercedes, Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren, Alpine, Williams, Alpha Tauri are all now confirmed.

I don't think we're expecting anyone new into F1 then? Has Pourchaire got anything sorted for next year in case he does too well to stay in F2?

 

I think only Alfa is up for question right now if I'm correct.

 

Pourchaire could probably do another season in F2. But Piastri is a real talent but looks like he will win it and miss out in F1. We need another team or two

 

Vettel not formally confirmed at Aston yet. A bit strange.

I assumed incorrectly he was already confirmed . A bit strange as you say !

 

He's beating Stroll, he needs to go.

 

Many a true word and all that .....

 

Vettel and Stroll to stay at Aston for 2022.

 

Stroll .

Wow

 

Annoyingly his obnoxious, billionaire bully of a father will turn that team into something pretty competitive in the coming years.

We may have to deal with a Stroll win at some point- not looking forward to that day

 

I think the worst thing about Stroll jnr is that he's actually an ok driver, which makes it hard to mock with any real conviction - despite his dad full on buying a team to get him a drive.

 

Agree . I used to dislike him , still do find him smug , but in fairness , he’s no mug .

 

Just watched some highlights of the 2015 Russian GP.

I forgot how indescribably poor F1 was in the initial hybrid years- totally power unit dependant and only one team in the race.

Dull as dishwater!!

 

Martin Whitmarsh has been exhumed from Ron Dennis's patio and been given a job at Aston Martin.

 

Yes, I saw that too. More than 'a job', the job it seems.

 

Always liked Whitmarsh .
