      New cars and a new race director. No doubt as a result of last years championship decider, the fallout has Masi replaced.

        Two new race directors I think. They will apparently alternate.

                        Unsurprisingly Mazepin and Haas have parted ways.

                            Couldn't get worse results if they did.

                            May make it easier for Andretti to buy a team.

                              I also wonder, Haas is a USA team. I wonder what contract lawyers think of contract termination due to your country invading another one? Maybe it was in there as a clause?

                                                  @duluth Third and fourth places are better than 2 x DNFs, although I do agree with your observations of the Mercedes cars as they currently are. No doubt the engineers are working furiously to fix the problems so we should see some improvement in the future. Maybe next week might be a bit early but there will be a solution sooner rather than later if history is anything to go by.

                                                    @duluth Third and fourth places are better than 2 x DNFs, although I do agree with your observations of the Mercedes cars as they currently are. No doubt the engineers are working furiously to fix the problems so we should see some improvement in the future. Maybe next week might be a bit early but there will be a solution sooner rather than later if history is anything to go by.

                                                    Be good to see Ferrari do well again.

                                                    Mercedes will of course fight back stronger which I am completely torn on.

                                                    Having watched 3 seasons of F1 Drive to Survive last week, I have really warmed to Hamilton. He's really well spoken, eloquent, thoughtful and comes across so well. I've properly misjudged him. The flip side applies to George Russell. He's a complete fluffybunny and I hope fails badly.

                                                    Gutted for Red Bull & stoked for Haas. Guenther Steiner musthave been brilliant last night!
