It seems Monsieur Prost isn’t too pleased with how Alpine have handled his departure…

Was just thinking yesterday, while linking the launch announcement tweets, how nice it is to see dates shown in the right way for a change. And also quietly hoping that our American friends were all getting irritated by it like I do when they write dates the wrong way.

Found this meme post on r/formuladank just now. :grinning:

I hope all the restructuring at Alpine works out.

Also I really loved my F1 the last two years. But I’m not 100% sure yet if I will follow it this year. It takes up so much time.

Maybe I should only watch the races. Hmmm, will probably go that route.

Here’s a little curveball… Not sure if anyone thought of this or already mentioned it. But as much as this year should see closer racing due to the regulation changes, what if Merc get’s it right again and everyone else get’s it wrong. All this will do will make it easier for Merc to overtake if they end up “stuck” behind someone :joy:

Lekke lekke pessimistic vibes for you.

The Evolution of Albert Park (Part 1 of 4)

Following the postponement of the Australian Grand Prix in 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the track underwent layout changes, the most notable part is the modification of the Turn 9-10 complex from a heavy right-left corner to a fast-sweeping right-left corner into Turns 11 and 12. Further modifications include the widening of the pit lane by 2 metres and the reprofiling of Turn 13. Also, some corners will be widened such as Turn 1, Turn 3, Turn 6, Turn 7, and Turn 15; and it is expected that these modifications will reduce qualifying lap time by as much as 5 seconds!

Next episodes scheduled 31 Jan (What’s Changed at Albert Park), 7 Feb (Albert Park’s New High Speed Straight), 14 Feb (The Completed Circuit & 2022).
