brickhistory Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Watched the newest season (4) of "Drive to Survive" on Netflix yesterday. Decent, but seemed to lack from previous seasons. Maybe just too used to premise now. Same editing to dramatized personal rivalries/team dynamics, etc. But I still think Horner is an ass. Even without the series. First race is next weekend. I'm interested to see the new regulation cars perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also to discover how much Merc/AMG is sandbagging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not opposed to more Ginger tho. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickhistory Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Watched the two practice rounds today to check out the new regulation cars. Verdict: hideously ugly. I do like the 18" wheels/tires, but the shapes of the cars despite the variations in sidepods, are just not pleasing to the eye. From the arrowhead front wing to the whale-tail rear wing, these are ugly cars. I hope they allow for better racing. If not, they gotta go. Great to see Magnusson back in for Haas and Hulkenberg subbing for Vettel. That must've been an interesting first drive for him today after arriving after midnight last night.

Prozac Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Excellent race today. Won’t spoil too much for those who haven’t seen it yet, but there will be some behind the scenes fireworks at Redbull & go Haas! Also, the prettiest cars got the best results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimNtexas Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I think a software bug took out two cars on the last two laps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brickhistory Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Watching the practices today for the upcoming Saudi race. Those cars are still ugly and their girth and weight make 'em look like hippos on ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standby Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I think I’m in the minority here. I love the new cars. Wheels look like steely’s on a winter rally car, and the upgrade in tire size gives them an aggressive profile. The wing is meh. Merc really needs to get their aero/suspension tuned if they want to compete. Drivers are having their brains absolutely rattled with that porpoise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImNotARobot Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I also think this year's cars are cool as hell. Haters gonna hate. But what's COOLER? Lewis getting knocked out in Q1. The weekend is already a success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brickhistory Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Why so? Overall, I thought it a good race up and down the list. Those pigs simply will not turn under braking. Catching a few people out. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for him, the virtual safety car right after his pit happened at the worst possible time. His luck just couldn’t have been worse. But he’s a great driver in arguably the best car on the grid. He should have some more chances at the W this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was to go to the COTA, it would be for the MotoGP; but I'm not sure if it's worth the time/money/time spent standing in the Texas heat when I can sit at home and watch the race, drink my own beer, and enjoy the air conditioning! 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year was turn 9 seats which were really good for cheap ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
