The Formula 1 Thread 🏎

Just realised that the Alfa launch date is two days after the first pre-season test shakedown in Barcelona. Odd decision.

Thats because Barcelona is not official, and wont have fans or cameras?

The RB18 launch. Coming to a stream near you 🎥🍿

We’ve set the date, you just need to say yes. On the 9th February in partnership with Tag Heuer, we’re proud to be launching our 2022 car, the Red Bull Racing RB18.

In a first for a Formula One team, we have enlisted the help of you, our fans, to launch the car with us by live streaming the event on selected social channels, bringing you even closer to the event.

Join us on the 9th February at 17:00 CET, to see the team unveil The RB18.

Haas livery reveal in 10 minutes. No sign of anything live, their main site (www.haasf1team.com) fails to load, nothing new on their YT channel. So basically, Haas.

TommoF1 is doing a live stream “watchalong” at the moment to try catch things as they happen:

Well, that’s an anticlimax for a livery reveal… it looks a lot like the one before…

I think I prefer it to the 2021 livery, however there’s not to say about a livery on a car model that’s presumably not the actual car, due to what seems to be a lack of DRS bits on the wing.

It’s what I expected to be honest.

According to the F1 site, it’s their car reveal as well. Even if it’s just a render.

Looking at the screenshots and comparing with the 2022 mock up, I can spot some differences, like the front wing end plates, the nose is thinner and dips down.
Looking to see what else I can spot.

See this Reddit post with fan skins for the RSS Formual Hybrid… Exact match…

HAAS probably saved some money on hiring a designer by just browsing reddit :smiley:

Haas just took the fan submission and applied it.

Also I spotted a few more differences, the sidepod openings on the Haas is smaller, and the rear wing has a nip in the middle.
