F1 2022

So the other 10 drivers, apart from Lafiti, that finished lowering the points were better that Ricciardo?
Interesting take.

Sure so you can with a straight face say that Ricciardo did better than Alex Albon this year then?

Points are everything in F1.

No kidding. As is performance vs vehicle and teammate.

But there is no way Dan has been anywhere above terrible for the majority of the season.

Points mean money.
“Brave efforts” mean nothing.

It's possible there was actually something wrong with Danny's car that was never identified. If so Piastri will also struggle in it.

Wasn't an issue for Lando ?

Did they swap cars at some point? I doubt it.

What are you suggesting ?

ESL? Thought the original post was pretty clear. Not sure how I could make it any clearer.

Across 2 years with different Chassis? Also pretty sure they changed his chassis mid season for this reason.

Also possible there was something wrong with every cricket bat I ever owned.

You as well hey? Mine always seemed to have a hole in it...

The problem is now Red Bull's third driver

And there it is:

Ferrari confirm Mattia Binotto has resigned as Team Principal | Formula 1®

Ferrari have announced that Mattia Binotto is to leave his position as Ferrari Team Principal at the end of the year, putting an end to weeks of speculation.

Binotto is completely leaving Ferrari.....I reckon Horner and Marko are already on the phone to Binotto trying to get him across to Red Bull Powertrains

 

[gaskin]

It'll be interesting to see who replaces him. Early reports were Vasseur but in the last couple of days there has been some talk about Ross Brawn.

Hi guys just wondering if anyone might be able to help me out - I’m looking to purchase a ticket to the Australian GP 2023, does anybody have any idea how good the vantage points are for the GA Park Pass tickets? (I assume it might be standing all day) Would anybody also happen to know if it is easy or difficult to be able to purchase these tickets online when they become available?

Thanks in advance

GA passes allow you to wander everywhere there is access except the ticketed stands and areas. My experience is years ago and only twice on corporate tickets, but I did wander around and if you can get a ticket in a stand or a corporate area (there are packages available to the public) then do so.

Just throw Seb Vettel straight in as TP.

Funny you mention him, as he literally just resigned as CEO (along with the rest of the board) from Juventus F.C as legal proceedings are about to commence against them for dodgy accounting practices.....maybe he will fit straight back in with the Ferrari culture seeing its all part of the Agnelli family

Juventus' entire board of directors has resigned on Monday evening, forcing the club to put together a new management framework.

Nice little interview with RIC where he talks through a bit of the decision making process for next year. All actually sounds pretty level-headed.

 

[No Quarter]

Alot easier to justify with the McLaren payout but without it I'm not sure he'd be so relaxed. Not to suggest he's not loaded as we know but it certainly makes it easier.

Yeah absolutely. Still collecting an F1 drivers pay cheque so still has that "value" and self worth attached to it.

2024 will be a different story if he's still just reserve driver at RBR. Which is probably a likely scenario unless RBR put him in Tsunodas seat for a year before they turf Perez end of 2024.

Edit: Then 2023 would be an audition between Danny Ric and DeVries for a RBR seat 2024...
