Re: AlphaTauri AT04 revealed!
I hate it. The red is just there. It doesn't blend at all.
I must say. It was the weirdest livery/car launch. It was literally a 2 min video. Then that was it. The video was like the opening video package in a 2 hour fashion show or something

That was insanely boring. Just show us the the damn car. And be done.

It's the same car. The same paint scheme and there was nothing of any significance to actually report.

Re: What are your thoughts on the F1 2022 regulation changes?
Nothing changes and nothing will change. You wanna change f1 and get things closer and more exciting. Make the cars smaller and thinner. Lose every single Winglet and structural supports. Front wings should not have end plates on it and rear wings should be held by 1 center pillar. Bye bye dirty air.

Verstappen is both a solution and a problem. It depends what question you're asking.

But yet as Damon Hill said. He gave a...

I think Lewis would of won if things had gone gun hoe. I think Lewis give the race to George. I don't think Lewis was pushing 100% and I think he kept position and keep the gap after the last safety car.
George deserved the win and it was thoroughly deserved. And I think Lewis recognised that.
