Alpine has an upward trajectory, especially compared to Aston Martin. Who knows where everyone will be next year.

I'm thinking Ferrari Mercedes and RB will be at the top again. Mercedes sticking with low rake was likely a calculated move to gain better understanding with the new ground-effect regulations, as well as their variable-rate collapsing suspension (which some other teams have a version of). Ferrari's PU upgrades look good. I'm really interested to see how they fair on the aero side. RB usually nails the Aero and they have a good PU now, so they should be at or near the top.

I want McLaren to be there, but they have a history of goofing new regs. See 2009, 2014, 2017.

Certainly a rational prediction for next year. The question for me is which driver's adapt the best to a very different type F1 machine............

Stat: Did you know that on the average, Lewis scored 10 points each time he raced at Interlagos? And of the 13 races he's been in Brazil, he only podiumed 5x. Huh.

"The more you know" lol

I personally do not like this circuit. Its a kart track and nothing more. They need a new circuit but that is not going to happen in Brazil in the near time.

I thought that there was a new circuit in Rio in the works, but I lost track of that (pun intended). Did it fall through? They only had to displace a few hundred thousand squatters and use some vacant land from a military compound that might still contain unexploded ordinance. What could possibly go wrong???

Aw man, dislike! haha

This is one of my favorite circuits to race on in the sim. The track is fast, flowing, and has excellent rhythm.

F1 stewards adjourn Hamilton DRS rule break hearing at Brazilian GP
By:
Luke Smith
Nov 12, 2021, 8:05 PM
The Formula 1 race stewards in Brazil have adjourned the hearing over the technical breach by Mercedes on Lewis Hamilton’s car until the morning, awaiting further evidence.
F1 stewards adjourn Hamilton DRS rule break hearing at Brazilian GP

Hamilton topped qualifying at Interlagos on Friday afternoon, beating title rival Max Verstappen by four-tenths of a second at the end of Q3.

But FIA technical delegate Jo Bauer found in his post-session checks that the DRS (drag reduction system) on Hamilton’s Mercedes W12 car was not in compliance with the rules.

The gap between the two rear wing planes when DRS is open must not exceed 85mm per the FIA’s technical regulations, but the DRS on Hamilton’s Mercedes was found to go beyond this limit.

This put Hamilton at risk of being excluded from qualifying, with Mercedes being summoned for a hearing beginning at 7:15pm.

A lengthy wait followed before confirmation arrived just before 10pm in Sao Paulo that there would be no decision on Friday night.

An FIA spokesperson confirmed the hearing had been adjourned by the stewards “as they await further evidence that will not be available until the morning”.

This was followed by a bulletin from the stewards asking Bauer “to supervise the removal of the rear wing assembly of Car 44, and to impound this part under seal.”

It added: “Further, the Technical Delegate is to supervise the transition of Car 44 into overnight conditions, permitting only those actions needed to store the car.”

A video emerged on social media showing the DRS test being conducted on Hamilton’s rear wing as officials checked to see if the flap opens beyond the permitted 85mm margin.

A fan video from the grandstands also appeared to show Hamilton’s title rival, Max Verstappen, looking and briefly touching Hamilton’s rear wing after parking his car up at the end of qualifying.

The FIA confirmed during the wait that scrutineering had been completed on the rest of the field and found no other rule breaches, amid intrigue from fans about Verstappen’s rear wing during qualifying.

Should the stewards opt to exclude Hamilton’s car from qualifying, he would start Saturday’s sprint race from the rear of the field.

If max did indeed cause Lewis’s wing to go out of spec, that is going to cause a big stir. I’m sure that was not his intention seeing how he seems more of a straightforward guy.

I find it hard to believe that there’s a difference between Lewis’s and Valterri wing setup. They’ve been racing more or less the same set of wings for the whole year with the budget cuts and regulation freezes.

Verstappen summoned after spotted touching Hamilton’s W12
https://www.planetf1.com/news/max-ve...lton-mercedes/
Date published: November 13 2021 - Henry Valantine



A video circulating on social media appeared to show Max Verstappen touching the rear wing of Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes – and he subsequently received a summons from the FIA.

The video shows Verstappen climbing out of his car in parc ferme, checking his own rear wing flaps before moving over to the car of his title rival and seemingly comparing the two.

Mercedes remain under investigation by the FIA having been accused of contravening rules surrounding how far rear wings are allowed to open with DRS, with an 85mm limit – which the stewards believe Mercedes exceeded during qualifying for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix on Hamilton’s car.

You can see the clip of Verstappen by watching below:



Such an infringement would usually result in disqualification from the session, but almost four hours after Mercedes had been asked to report to the stewards, they adjourned the case against them until Saturday morning in Brazil as the FIA required more evidence to be able to reach an informed verdict.

Whether or not Mercedes have grounds to appeal against any accusation remains to be seen, but if Verstappen is found to have touched another car under parc ferme conditions, he can expect a punishment of his own, as this is strictly forbidden.

This could also form a part of Mercedes’ defence, as they could have reason to claim that the Red Bull driver tampered with their car – especially pertinent, considering the area he appeared to touch is the one under investigation by the FIA.

The FIA issued a summons which stated: ‘Max Verstappen and team representative are required to report to the Stewards at 9:30 on Saturday 13 November in relation to the incident below.

‘Alleged breach of Article 2.5.1 of the FIA International Sporting Code.’

Article 2.5.1 of the FIA International Sporting Code states: ‘Inside the Parc Fermé, only the officials assigned may enter. No operation, checking, tuning or repair is allowed unless authorised by the same officials or by the applicable regulations.’

I've seen the video, yes he touched it but enough to change spec? No. If he brought some tools with him and a few minutes, maybe.

Oh the drama continues.

He broke FIA code. Clearly states do not touch other competitors cars. He did so after RedBull protested. Stupid boy Let the management sort this. The rule is clear and in the books. Max and probably other drivers should learn the rules of their series.

Lol. The code is the code. He shouldn't have touched the car. The point I was stating is the insinuation that touching the wing the way he did manipulated or damaged Lewis' wing is absurd. Those wings can handle lots of load. Another page from the same book of tricks used by F1 teams to stir things up. I wouldn't be surprised if he is handed something and less surprised if they take a heavy handed approach.
