Toto didn't seem sure Lewis would even be back in March...

^^^ couldn't tell if that was theatrics or a genuine uncertainty.. i sincerely hope its not the case (not just yet anyway), unfinished business and all that.

Looks like Michael Masi has been "moved on".

^^^^ I can't see a whole lot of difference between this car and F1's 'design exercise' of mid-2021, but then maybe that's the whole idea of the new rules.

There’s a great discussion of it on the Formula 1 website here

First photos today of an actual, real world 2022 F1 car; the Aston Martin AMR22

. . and then this evening we had the launch, Live on SkySportsF1, of the McLaren MCL36

F1 have announced that Michael Masi will no longer be race director. A complete new structure has been announced.

Not a surprising announcement, but one that may start to get F1's reputation back. I feel sorry for Masi, but F1 had to make that decision to restore credibility.

[jtc]

Moving Masi out of his role sort of admits how Abu Dhabi played out was wrong, which in turn throws the stewarding fairness/process into doubt.

This 2021 season can of worms is far from over....

Ferrari get the award for most interesting launch car so far...

Thanks Jon.

That's stunningly sculptured; so organic; could be a Manta Ray or Shark or similar. Ferrari's nose is somewhat different to other cars; bit like an Anteater's.

Its a pity though that Ferrari's launch was spoilt by the FIA simultaneously releasing their 'findings and actions' post Abu Dhabi. They, the FIA, could have at least waited a couple of hours.

Anyone fancy winning a C70 Ascari COSC?

Confirmation that Lewis is returning for the 2022, I never doubted he would return for this year, despite the ridiculous debacle of Abu Dhabi and being robbed of the title.
