Formula 1...

I think rokit are no longer a sponsor. Seem to remember something in the news during last year.

 

EDIT: Ja seems they did split ways.

Kids of today... Just Google BT46B. Think that was also designed by Gordon Murray. And obviously driven by Niki. In its only race. Which it won. And then was banned.

That was the one with the big a$$ fan to create downforce right?

Will Google it now.

Cool story:

When i was at uni we were doing an urban design project that proposed an utopian idea that private cars be removed from business districts and be replaced by small prototype city cars as private transport. At the time gordon murry was busy exploring just such a vehicle according to the company blog at the time.

With me being an avid f1 fan and him being an ex Saffa and all i thought....meh- “i’m just straight up going to email him” and ask to chat about the idea. - never really expecting him to actually respond.

Well he did reply and we had a few discussions on the idea. There i was having a casual chat about cars with the guy responsible for some of the greatest f1 cars in history and the mclaren f1.

What does that mean for George/Bottas?

 

 

I'm 99% sure Hamilton will continue to 2022 at least

Daimler and Renault are also corporately aligned. smart cars are all renault twingos, and A-class’s renault meganes. Ocon is also a mercedes junior for that matter. It wouldnt change much i think. Wolf still has too many fingers in too many pies

Ps: remember late in 2020, renault suddenly found some speed. Sure they unlocked sone potential in the chassis too, but I read somewhere they also got some tips from mercedes around Spa re PU settings - apparently in exchange for dropping the Tracing Point protest lol (#conspiracy)

Looks decidedly backmarker-ish imo. What a horrible mish mash of crap with no clear direction that livery turned out to be. Back half looks like a HAAS. Should have gone back to silver already.

 

All the AMG stickers remind me of these guys pasting Msport/M power/ AMG badges on their OBVIOUSLY entry level models lol
