2021's new teams
Is anyone expecting any surprises from either Aston Martin or Alpine in the coming season?
Both teams have a highly experienced driver in their line up with some experienced people running the team but will we see them on the podium regularly or even scoring wins in 2021?

Mercedes steering wheels innovation
Mercedes have developed a system that allows the driver to change the alignment of the front wheels. By pushing and pulling on the steering wheel the front wheels alternate between standard 'toe-out' setting and a much straighter position. https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.tech-insight-have...

How to fix f1. Other things to improve f1. The floor of the car must be the same dimensions of the car. Not a floor that overhangs and comes put to give aerodynamic aid. (Basically hamilton shown the area to ellimimate. It's not needed) Could all cars using the same FIA floor be a possible rule?

Re: The accident aftermath & Eau Rouge / Radillon
But like the Senna accident in 1994 the death itself wasn't caused by the circuit design. Senna was killed by a piece of the front wheel assembly piercing his visor, Hubert was killed by being hit at very high speed by another car and his car being sliced in half.
