The fucking donkey isn’t in the pictures! It hasn’t been launched yet and the Merc is the complete opposite end of the donkey.

Jokes aside I really do hope that the other cars in the field have been improved and are able to take the race to the Mercs this year, we really need to see some new shoes on the top step for a change.
It's easy to take pretty PR shots and hold parties.

Would make for a good piece of nostalgia, Aston racing Jag...
Toss in Ford and BMW.

Remember many years ago plying the F1 game on PS console and always starting with Jag, and kicking everyone's ass on medium with realistic handling and driving (Easy today).
Not a fast car but nimble AF

Formula 1: Porsche & Volkswagen Group considering entering F1​


Porsche and parent company the Volkswagen Group are considering entering Formula 1.

Any move depends on the direction of the sport's next engine regulations, which are due to be introduced in 2025.

Porsche Motorsport vice-president Fritz Enzinger told BBC Sport: "It would be of great interest if aspects of sustainability - for instance, the implementation of e-fuels - play a role in this.
"Should these aspects be confirmed, we will evaluate them in detail within the VW Group and discuss further steps."

E-fuels are carbon-neutral fuels that can power internal combustion engines without the environmental impact of traditional fossil fuels.

They come in a number of forms, including bio-fuels, which are made from bio-mass, and synthetic fuels, which are manufactured by an industrial process that captures carbon from the atmosphere.

F1 has committed to making e-fuels a central part of the sport from 2025.

Senior F1 figures say Porsche has been involved in the discussion around the new engine rules.

It would be nice if something comes from this investigation.



WADA looking into Haas’ 2021 F1 livery amid Russian flag ban​


The World Anti-Doping Agency has confirmed it is looking into Haas’ Formula 1 livery for the 2021 season following concerns that it fails to comply with a ban against Russia.

On Thursday, Haas unveiled its new livery, which features prominent white, blue and red colouring to coincide with its new title sponsor Uralkali, a Russian potash fertiliser company.

Questions have arisen regarding the legality of livery, following a ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) last December, who announced a two-year ban on Russian athletes from world championship events.

However, athletes are still entitled to enter such events if they compete under a neutral flag. The ban stems from state-sponsored doping and cover-ups at the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014.

Mazepin seems to be more trouble than he is worth. Daddy better keep on sending cheques.
