In a weird sense Ferrari is Brawn this year.vorticism wrote: ↑10 Apr 2022, 15:57They reintroduced slicks and new aero simultaneously in 09 as well, which upset the order. BrawnGP and the drinks company for five years. Sadly we have no equivalent to BrawnGP this time. What could have been... TotoGP? HornerGP? AbiteboulGP? Or, maybe a retired established driver... KimiGP. Strictly for the radio chatter. Or lack thereof.Big Tea wrote: ↑10 Apr 2022, 15:37I still think it was a mistake to introduce the new wheels and tyres at the same time as a complete change in the 'body'.
It would be more dificult to change to larger wheels later, but they would then know where the problems lay with one change before inflicting another.
"Should I pit?"
"Leave me alone I'm on the computer."
Also it seems a particular form of cruelty that the guy who most benefitted from a loophole drafted up the regs which have no loopholes. I was half hoping Brawn had left an easter egg in there somewhere.
Just like Brawn a major player in the past (Tyrrell) and found their mojo again when their big backer pulled out, but payed for the development of the winning car (Honda for Brawn and PMI for Ferrari).
