New cars drop in the next few weeks:



Really pumped for the new cars! If for nothing else then Design. But man even look at this last years cars, beautiful

Lots of memes on IG about Hamilton stepping away, highly doubt it but would be balsy although just playing into his whiner reputation

I don't have much to add other than tickets for the Canadian GP is nearly sold out and hotels are almost fully booked. Most of the F1 teams are staying at the Fairmont.

Will definitely be interesting to see how things with Hamilton play out. I hope he stays, not just for the future battles with Max, but also to see him up against George as a teammate.

Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth?

[Koflach]

No firm date yet but it looks like we are less than 2 months away from Drive to Survive season 4.

Haas released their livery for 2022, it’s just a rendering though but I guess that’s what that the car will look like?

Red Bull reveals their RB18

[Hondaracer]

So all their reveals are gonna be these prototype concepts so they can hide the final design until the first race? :/

[TOS'd]

Just things I noticed from the Haas vs RB:

Air intake: Haas = rounded triangle, RB = rounded trapizoid
Front wing: Haas = square point, RB = rounded point
Front wing side fins: Haas = straight up, RB = pointed inwards
Side mirrors: Haas = vert./horz. supports curved, RB = vert./horz. supports straight
Front left/right intake: shape different between the two

theres probably many more minor things

[Hondaracer]

When you see them side by side with the 2021 car the new one looks pretty sweet

[inv4zn]

Surprised nobody posted yet, AM revealed their car - and it's the actual car. Not "new" livery plastered on the FIA shell.


Definitely looks interesting!

Are they allowed to do that? I thought they had to wait until testing.

I think teams can do their own individual testing as they see fit on their own tracks (wind tunnels are limited)...the 'official' preseason testing is where they all come together to test on one track.

They used a filming day. You're allowed 2 days of 100km of "filming".

These cars look great - they're like jazzed up Indycars.
