And in other news, "purpoising" is the new buzzword.

 

Methinks Snoop should get involved with the theme song for this season.. or at least until race 5 or 6 on the calendar. Cars look like real low-riders, bouncing to a beat....

"Teams were aware it might happen, but none expected it to be as extreme or regular as it has been.

However, most technical directors believe it can be fixed with updates, albeit ones that were not part of the original development plans. McLaren's James Key suspects it will be less of a talking point by race five or six once teams have had time to solve the issue."

Gio coming back to Replace Nikita 

 

Kicking him out of his seat is BS imo 

Haas ditched Uralkali, getting rid of all connections to Mazepin's dad who is obviously a known oligarch, so I guess it was always kind of inevitable? There was a press release earlier saying that if Mazepin jnr signed an agreeement to distance himself from the goings on in Ukraine, that the FIA would allow him to race. But it is my understanding that Gene Haas has decided that a clean break is needed. Sleepy Joe said sanctions, so Gene is just following orders.

 

A similar thing happened between 1965/6 and 1991/2...

Possibly a scape goat? Sounds like the team have wanted him out almost since he joined and maybe just took the opportunity. Thing is, they took him in for Daddy's money, now that's gone......... 

Just like many companies did after the initial Covid lockdown. Get rid of the deadwood.

Curious to know the story behind this photo and why he wasn't there. He seemed to have time for the broody-track-walk photo (Riccardo was off sick, thus the reason for his omission. Maybe LH had the same bug the day before)
