Alpine are dark horses as they and Ferrari both homoligated their original chassis specs quite a long time before anyone else (like 1 year) and have further refined and homologated newer chassis. Add to that that they were using a 2019 chassis with 2020 pu in 2021 and you can tell where their priorities lie.

AM should be boosted by their recent signings in 2021 but I don't expect to see results till next year, or 2nd half 2022 at the earliest

Merc social media lareafy trolling everyone by posting a picture of their 2022 dummy car (here is a brightened version).


The final version will look completely different as cape and s ducts will stil be allowed supposedly. Also expect the nose to be narrower and further back

Some motorsport action in 2022 already. The Dakar rally gets underway in Saudi. A good start as a car exploded in Jeddah, I don’t believe anyone is hurt.

I think Luungard will beat Callum. Luungaard has landed a very decent drive in the Rahal seat, can contend for wins.

I mean we all want a geosjean title

Yep definitely, will be interesting to see how he matches up to Herta as well.
Is this year the one the 2.4 v6s are replacing the 2.2s in indycar?

They will do dynamic tests this year, for 2023 racing introduction.
Are they going hybrid like F1.

Yep. Despite having 900hp+ for indycar, f1 will be around 200hp more

Going off the odd press releases it looks like their going more of a mild-hybrid type setup, probably more similar to what F1 had when they first introduced KERS systems rather then the stupidly complex dual ERS system which cost too much and not even beneficial to non-motorsport stuff.

Yea, I like all 3. I know money and long term contracts dictate the calendar but it would be great to see F1 perhaps go to certain tracks every other year to bring in a more track excitement. Its a shame Mugello, Hockenheim, Nurburgring, Istanbul, Malaysia, kyalami... cant find a way onto the grid in some capacity. The pandemic showed a really great upside to variation in track selection (and using traditional racing tracks produces much better racing).

Monaco is becoming an ever bigger headache, it was always hard to overtake but the last generation of cars have made it horrendous, and cars are only getting bigger & wider (and monaco doesn't exactly play to the benefits of ground effect anyway). If F1 is playing around with having different Grand Prix structures at different weekends, maybe F1 needs to do something similar for Monaco, qualifying can be pretty entertaining but the only Sunday drama is normally if and when someone punts it in a barrier or rain forcing everyone to pit rather then great racing.


Yeah Monaco is an awful track when you think about it, it has prestige but just awful for overtaking, would take Nurburgring any day over Monaco.

Worth remembering that it was designed for cars half the size and with much less downforce effect following.
