Two race directors now alternating races, more info here.

Total shambles. The main event is that they're changing the rules so that among other things team principals can no longer pressure the race directors in the heat of the battle. Yet pinning the blame on Massi is a convenient way to cover up FIA's own mismanagement. Headlines everywhere: Massi out. Sad.

Masi is out as F1 Race Director but he will still clearly stay in FIA High Official Management 👍 FIA will definitely stand with its Abu Dhabi decision, but just to appease the other side, they conveniently removed Masi from the position. Just to put out any more fire and move on to 2022 😗

There will be a great many who cannot, or will not move on, we will hear it about similar to England’s 1966 World Cup win, ad infinitum.

You can see from the team polo shirt that there’s still a little tribute and appreciation to Honda from Red Bull 👍👍
Nice catch! I wonder if "Honda" is also on the car and/or racing suits in a similarly small & obscure location. Odd that it would be on their team polo shirts and not elsewhere.

Switcheroo.. 😗😗
Otmar is an extremely effective leader, I think Aston really messed up letting him go and Alpine did well picking him up. All a part of El Plan.

Ack, those wheel covers SUCK ASS!
They don’t actually look like that on the real car, no idea why the rendering is so completely different when they unveiled the real car the same day.

Yes, the real car has different wheel covers, although not looking better than traditional wheels… I’m afraid all 2022 F1 cars will have these kind of wheel covers unless the technical regulations don’t allow them…

Anyway I love how the new Silver Arrow looks 🥰
