    Got a cool little something for you all. I acquired some old press photo slides of the 1976 USGP at Watkins Glen and went ahead and scanned them using my DSLR, and the results were fun. These were s

F1 and the FIA should step in and help HAAS. Not sure how or what the rules are…

Hell na. They made their bed... 

Hell na. They made their bed... 

I just want Guenther around.

HAAS poor judgement is a pattern. They can deal with the consequences.

 

I have to say that I have given Vettel much grief over the years, but I absolutely respect the line he has drawn. No equivocation.

Agree on Vettel.

And I don't think anyone should "save" Haas but I'd be delighted if an American billionaire wanted to step in and salvage the team and maybe even try to make it competitive.

Yep, and yep.

I want them to get desperate and sell to Andretti.

I wouldn't mind Andretti taking them over. That's for sure. (ETA: Hawndoh beat me to it)

The other fallout from Russia starting a war is that Uralkali may not be able to continue as a sponsor, which would mean Mazepin loses his seat and Haas has to find a driver with enough SL points and huge backing or they might not be able to afford operating, which could open the door for Andretti/Herta. That all seems a little bit of a stretch but it sure would be a fascinating twist to the season.

VET says nein to racing in Russia.
 

 

Russia officially cancelled. Good. And good for Seb and Max for speaking up  

 

I don't see how Haas can continue to be associated with Uralkali and the Mazepins.

Quote

Uralkali is a Russian chemical company with Dmitry Mazepin as deputy chairman of the Uralkali board and Uralchem CEO. He is the father of Haas driver Nikita Mazepin and is an associate of Vladimir Putin, attending the Kremlin for a meeting called by Putin on Thursday.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/feb/25/russian-grand-prix-set-for-switch-turkey-after-ukraine-invasion-motor-sport-formula-one-f1

So there is rumor mill talk that Mazepin could be dropped.

Can anyone work through this with me? Is it because if the sponsor is dropped then why have Mazepin who isn't considered that good? Or are they tying Mazepin to his dad who is then tied to Putin? Or is it just that Mazepin isn't that good and this would give some cover?

Not a fan of his, but on the surface it seems kinda shitty to drop the guy because of something his country did. 

He sucks ass and was only in the car because he provided money. If that money is frozen with sanctions then he has no reason to be in the car.

Zak Brown, spot on again.

F1 teams "short-sighted" in not welcoming Andretti - Brown https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-teams-short-sighted-in-not-welcoming-andretti-brown/8454882/

Zak Brown comes across as a very likable dude in basically every interview i see with him.

No Uralkali = No Mazepin. Dude is very clearly a pay driver, and without the $$ he wouldn't have the seat. I don't think he brings other sponsorships outside of Uralkali/his dad, and even if he does he just brings more RU dollars.

re: your last line - Mazepin has ZERO business in F1 based on his results. This was the case last year and is even more clearly the case this year. Is it shitty to dump a guy in the middle of testing? yes. Will literally anyone whose last name isn't Mazepin or Haas complain about it?

I don't have any problem with punitive measures enacted against any Russian oligarch, or the families or friends of any Russian oligarchs, or anything else associated with the despicable pieces of shit who enable and support and benefit from Putin's evil regime.

Fuck each and every one of them.

And that's all I'll say about that on a Formula 1 thread.

Yeah he does. I don't really have a "favorite" team as I enjoy the battles more than pulling for one team or another, but I'd guess that McLaren would be ahead of others with Brown and Ricciardo? Just guys that you're happy to see win.

The Longhorn Racing Team. AND... it's in our Storm Trooper Whites look too.

Tito Beveridge is a billionaire these days.  And his distillery is near COTA already.  

How does "Tito's Racing Presents the Tito's Racing Team at the Tito's Grand Prix at the Tito's Ring in Austin, TX" sound?

Can't. Tito's is a real product. Lower-tier F1 teams only deal in weird brands that don't actually seem to make anything we ever see in stores like BWT, Rich Energy, Huski Chocolate, and Moose Craft Hot Dogs.

Agree 100%. I've been very impressed by him in many ways ever since he took over at McLaren ... and I was told before that that he's a complete asshole. Can't agree with that assessment, at least from the outside.

He seems to endear himself to everyone in the paddock barring maybe Otmar. Maybe he's a PR wizard. 

I mean he's definitely a PR wizard, but if he's an asshole then he's really, really good at hiding it.

That statement by the FIA is pretty non-committal.  It's a "for now" statement, not a "yeah, it's cancelled period" statement.

Yeah it's just delayed for now, but that may be a step they're contractually obligated to take before cancellation. You know, crossing all the T's and dotting all the I's to avoid litigation & all.

Excuse me while I double down. McLaren looks good in the light of day.

At least we have Indycar this weekend, and Grosjean was looking fast.
