2021 Fastest Race Lap at Barcelona: 1:18:149 2021 Pole Position at Barcelona: 1:16:741 2022 Preseason Testing Day 1: 1:19:568 2022 Preseason Testing Day 2: 1:19:689 Looks like 1.5 seconds slower The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

I suspect the scalper market for Russian GP tickets is weakening at this moment. Meanwhile they're striping the graphics off the Haas transporters and I wouldn't be surprised if there is some action on futures for the other seat. https://www.planetf1.com/news/...le-livery-barcelona/ Back to the on track action. Still hard to tell who has the speed this week. Maybe the next real test will give us a better idea. I suspect Red Bull and Mercedes will still be at or close to the front but having McLaren and Ferrari there too would be nice. If the cars are only showing as 1.5 seconds slower at this point, it won't be long before they are faster than last years cars. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

We’re also not sure how much fuel they’re running in these sessions. The biggest accomplishment is that everyone is running and made it on time. I’m also wondering depending on how this Russia thing plays out if Andretti ends up buying Haas and saving $250 million on a new team buy-in. | |||

Read an article earlier that drivers are stating that following is a lot easier until you're right on the tail of the leading car. Hopefully, the smaller overall size & the better following ability translates to some good on track action. Also read that they're fighting porpoising from ground effect loss due to either stalling the air under the car, or changes/undulations in the track surface then the rapid recovery of ground effect as the car settles. That, combined with the smaller tire sidewalls & associated suspension adjustments, along with this porpoising, should make for some interesting developments. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Most interesting part of this article on HAAS future and sponsorship challenges is the comment speculating this may be a pathway for Andretti to get in. WTF1 article on HAAS and Mazepin You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

I hope so. It would keep the only American F1 team American, and more of Andretti’s capital could be spent upgrading what Haas has now. | |||

I also could get behind Andretti buying out Haas and running an F1 team. They would NOT be satisfied with running last in the field!! | |||

Hamilton on day 3: 1:19:138 Teams probably still getting the cars dialed in. I expect that time will be ever lower when the Spanish GP rolls around. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Alfa Romeo C42 - Sans camo  The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Legalize the Constitution |
I’ve long thought Alfa’s livery was the coolest of the F-1’s; this year is no exception. I’d like to see them up near the front. Maybe the team will put Bottas in a competitive car, but they had rather inauspicious testing in Barcelona. Not good so far. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

I'm not sure '22 is going to be Alfa's year. We'll see how they look at Bahrain testing. I like the C42 livery, but miss the cross/dragon. My wife thinks the C42 looks too 'cartoony' with the Alfa script. Read an article earlier that Bottas isn't overly concerned with the porpoising, so hopefully they have a plan in the works & the updated Ferrari PU is competitive. Ferrari performance at Barcelona looks promising. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Read elsewhere that the Alfa script is a throwback to the 80s IMO, they should've kept with the Alfa logo, and used the throwback for a one-off livery for Imola or Monza.  The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Briefly thought about picking up the Lego McLaren that went live today. Kind of a hybrid 21/22 car. Looks like the 22 chassis with the 21 colors on it. As of 8AM central, it was on backorder status. Saved me $200 https://www.lego.com/en-us/pro...ula-1-race-car-42141 The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Glad the only "American" team is now cleared to keep it's Russian driver. smh Hope Andretti manages to buy them or join and give us a real American team. | |||
