I wonder how much of the design is fixed yet, there may yet be aero changes going by pictures I’ve seen over the last couple of days with cars sprouting measuring equipment.

I know it's along way off but could the Russian GP be in jeopardy? I don't see a quick fix to the political situation going on at the moment.

Big sport wringing it's hands now over 'dirty' Russian money... never mind the fact that we've willfully made China the second richest country in the world.

Russian athletes have already been playing in recent Olympic events without their flag being raised (due to state sponsored doping scheme). I hope this senseless suffering and attrition immediately end 🙁 We have enough world problems to deal with at this day and age. I pray for those displaced, the people and country of Ukraine.

Just saw this video on pre-season testing. Look at those bouncing F1 cars 😲😲

Read an article yesterday regarding “bouncing”, ground effect works well until a certain point after which the driver needs to lift off and re apply throttle to start the effect again, teams need to find the ideal ride height to balance the car over a full lap at race speed, seems easy but I doubt it will be.

F1 has cancelled the Russian Grand Prix. Ural Kali and Mazepin in limbo. I believe most of the whole world doesn’t want this war or any war to happen. The whole world just went thru a devastating pandemic. It made it clear that we are all connected in this modern day. I pray the war ends or prices of oil and commodities will shoot up. Everything connects us all, even this TH Forum that has become our HOME 😀

Didn't the IOC recommend that all Russian sportsmen be banned?
And didn't FIFA do this a couple of days ago and then have to change their mind because they realised they were being dumbasses?

I think FIA is not within any other groups’ jurisdiction. FIFA and IOC have been letting Russian athletes compete under a neutral / pseudo flag for several years already, even with a ban on government initiated doping scheme. So the sanction from them should be stricter, now a total ban. FIA hasn’t been doing that so the next sanction would be to apply what FIFA & IOC have been doing previously? 😕
