don't agree, if he was with HAAS, he would have been dumped because of the crashes

F1 is getting silly, now they are talking about partial reverse grids in the sprint races.
Getting tired of the changes. Just leave it be.

They have full fuel tanks, well if they want more entertainment, just make them run the same tires for the whole race...

tired of all the changes, thou change is the only constant in life

I can live with smart changes, even some thoughtful trials. But not the gimmicky ones.

Reverse grid simply means that Logan Sargeant will be passed 19 more times in a race. Nothing more. Why punish teams and individual drivers who are performing. They need to do things to allow all teams to improve their performance. Lifting the cost cap would be one.

The cost cap as it stands, makes no sense. Nor does limiting wind tunnel time. You muffed up this year's car (talking to you, Toto) because you spent all of your money going down the wrong rabbit hole last winter, and you were too high in the previous year's placings to test it sufficiently. So you're stuck with a POS for the year. And forget about trying to fix something unexpected like porpoising. If you come up with a solution, someone will only find it to be illegal so your drivers can just get their teeth rattled out of their heads for half the season.

Meanwhile, if the driver truly represents 50% of the success equation, why is there no salary cap on them? The current cost cap excludes drivers and key team staff, which seems dumb to me.

well now what happens to HAAS?
Not looking good, have read some articles
where he wants to team to perform, but without putting more money in it....
maybe they should let Andretti in and force HAAS out somehow

Thanks for sharing. F1 is a complicated and expensive endeavor. I’m really not sure why HAAS is even considered an American entry.

My company that I’ve worked for the last 18 years has now teamed up with Mercedes for 2024. Of course we all know Red Bull has been spanking the field. I wonder if Mercedes can make any gains this year?

that is so neat, I worked for a team once that had teamed up with McLaren. They brought a show car to the yearly customer convention. I was able to get a couple of free t-shirts from them. So you should try and reach out....

I read The-Race a lot I found this interesting on HAAS and Komatsu

https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/g...-boss-cant-do/

I agree, its all about communication, in everything you do, even your personal life with your significant other.

2024 F1 will be a bit more interesting because of the HAAS drama
