Some deep discounts on merch. Put 2 shirts in a cart (polo & t-shirt) for less than the normal full price of the polo. Need some Alfa gear & really tempted by some of the Gulf/McLaren stuff. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

1988 McLaren This is long but a worthwhile video on the Prost/Senna McLaren of their killer 1988 season. Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||

One thing I didn't hear mentioned about that season, beyond winning 15 out of 16 races. Senna was leading the Italian GP but was taken out by a lapped car. Prost had stopped earlier due to an engine problem. That was the only race they didn't win that season and not through their fault at all. That was also a notable race because the Gerhard Berger Ferrari ended up the winner at Monza, just after the passing of Enzo Ferrari. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

11th Team - Andretti/Cadillac?
The Enemy's gate is down. | |||
|
I swear I had something for this |
At the very least, it shuts up Toto Wolff in regards that Andretti brings nothing to the table, and F1 has been looking for more engine suppliers. It should be interesting to see how competitive this package would be for the new engine regulations. | |||

^^^^ Are the new engine regs radical enough that a new supplier (Cadillac i.e.) would have a chance to be competitive, everyone being on a more equal footing? Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

Should be interesting to see how both the teams and organizers (plural) react to this. The FIA just pointed out that they have to satisfy both the F-1 organizers and FIA for this to happen. I guess that simply means their is a second group with their hand out or needing backscratching ($$$) plus the other team owners. Besides that, the Andretti organization hasn't exactly been dominating the Indycar field lately and this is a big step up in almost every area. Also sounds like they will be starting out with an existing and unnamed suppliers engine. https://www.planetf1.com/news/...power-unit-supplier/ ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

Porsche, until GM gets their PU up to snuff? The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

So far, it sounds like the only thing different is the deletion of the MGU-H. I'm not sure if any other details have been released. | |||

They already have an agreement with Renault/Alpine for engines before the GM backing came out. | |||

James Vowles to be new Team Principal at Williams. Didn’t see that coming. Wonder if anyone else will follow? This might be another unanticipated effect of the budget cap. Not just car development is limited by funds. The big spending teams have to limit spending but have formerly built the teams around whatever they had. That was a lot more for some like Mercedes. Since Williams is a Mercedes affiliate, I suppose this is less surprising. https://www.planetf1.com/news/...-new-team-principal/ ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

And while not technically F1 news, Kevin Magnussen will probably not take part of the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona due to hand surgery. https://racer.com/2023/01/13/h...x-24-run-into-doubt/ | |||

Reb Bull is next, on Friday. I guess their apparel site is up, haven't looked, but have read that the designs aren't all that exciting. Hoping we don't end up with a drab field of liveries. At least the Alfa should still be a pretty car, and the Silver Arrows are always a personal favorite, now that they're not black arrows anymore. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

So FIA has opened up the application process with revisions. I'm not in a position to understand what all the talk about bringing value to society and sustainability means in real terms. I suspect that's really a bunch of vague terms to allow them to put up roadblocks as needed or if needed. They seem to have made it look more practical to buy a Team like Haas as opposed to jumping through all these ever changing hoops. This is also a slow time of the year for real F1 news too so that may factor in some too. I'll be glad when the cars start to hit the track again in a few weeks, even just for testing. My next question is how to watch racing next year. We watch so little regular TV anymore that paying even $65 a month ($650 for the ten months we use it) for Youtube TV is starting to make one of the subscription service versions, like Sky, look a lot better. I also need Indycar so that throws a curve ball in there since I don't think Sky helps that. Each series is also not showing all the sessions anymore at certain events. It's possible that a dedicated subscription to each series would be the best bet and you get much more coverage if you want it. https://www.planetf1.com/news/...application-process/ ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

F1TV is $80/yr or $10/mo https://www.formula1.com/en-us/subscribe-to-f1-tv If they ever release an app for Samsung smart TVs, I'm all in on it. But, I don't want to deal with streaming it from another device when I have Sky via ESPN on YTTV. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||
