DieselnDust Posted January 7, 2022 Share 2 hours ago, Robbie Stewart said: Seems that Honda have reconsidered their plan to exit F1 after Max taking the WDC. RBR and Honda are likely to forge an even larger threat to MB over the course of the next 3 years from what I have read. Apparently they have extended their partnership to 2025. https://www.news24.com/wheels/formulaone/honda-extend-red-bull-engine-agreement-through-to-2025-20220101 Yes this is well known in the motorsport world. Honda has transfered staff to the new Red Bull Technology - Powertrains Centre in Milton-Keynes. They will assist Red Bull with optimisation and reliability programs of the power unit and integrate with the RB Gearbox team. Funding will also be allocated to RBT-PC by Honda. In essence it is partly a de-branding exercise and also secures the jobs of the staff at Honda that could not otherwise be accomodated by the R&D shift to Hydrogen Fuel Cell development and BEV development. Also keeps their foot in the door to step back in when the 2026 rule cycle in announced. VAG is also reported to be interested in buying into the RBT/Honda collaboration earlier than 2026. SO the RBT strategy seem to cater for both Honda's smooth exit and VAG's smooth entry with likely both Porsche and Audi brands Robbie Stewart and RoddieJ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCreamMan Posted January 20, 2022 Share Silverstone has sold out… last year it only sold out on the Thursday prior to race day… and ticket prices rose sharply, incredible. So motogp and BSB for me there this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCreamMan Posted February 11, 2022 Share There were internet groups putting pressure on McLaren to keep the gulf colours. Sort of compromise I guess. Mclaren is 5 miles from my house. Must support em. Steven Knoetze (sk27), justinafrika, BaGearA and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think quite a few car designs will change by the time testing/racing starts. These have been livery launches for sure but the designs will change. Cards are being held very tightly to chests.....

Boggles the mind... but then again, it’s F1 and the FIA... Oops!
