Guys been getting death threats. I know f1 is serious fan business but this is too much.

Secret Santa 2021

That's awesome.

Looks like Otmar is out at Aston Martin. Can save the new 2022 thread for new car p0rn...

Also, Agulati is dropping off the trophy this weekend so I can get the prizes out shortly

Not his fault. The low rake cars got killed by the changes in the aero regulations.

Very good and in depth article that looks at where Verstappen and Hamilton lost points to each other over the length of the entire season.

TL;DR: Hamilton was lucky to go into the final race tied for points.

That's a huge hole for Aston to fill even with all their new hires. Someone needs to keep Stroll and his ambitions in check.

Because Stroll may inadvertently bring AM down rushing things like another team from the past in Ford/Jaguar

DoubleK...just got the trophy back from Agulati...she's all yours! Also let me know which prize you and can coordinate pick up. I'll PM you and TimSJ as well.

Spoiler!

In a fitting end to the season, DoubleK got 10/10 right with 3 correct slots to win the week and the Overall Title. Dominant season for you, congrats. You led in correct slots by 7 over second. You get first pick of the prizes, just DM me your selection. (https://forum.calgarypuck.com/showpo...&postcount=365)

And in a tight race for second, TimSJ comes from well behind to nip Btimbit in the final race. TimSJ had 10/10 picks as well and 2 correct slots for 18pts. Congrats for a comeback win to nab 2nd. You get the other prize.

Btimbit, sorry man, you went 8/10 with no correct slots and takes 3rd overall...

I will coordinate with Agulati to get the trophy back as well for DoubleK and can DM the winners for pickup.

IMSA/WEC looks to be really awesome this year.

So many entries.

First race is tomorrow at 9:30 on TSN2, Race 2 is Sat 9:30.

The all-important question is: Is Michael Masi getting the boot? It would seem so.


Several teams have reportedly recommended that F1 needs to replace the Masi for 2022, with sources suggesting this is likely to go ahead.



However, not all teams are in agreement on this. Some have chosen to stay neutral on the issue, whilst others are saying they have no issue with Masi remaining in the job as long as he’s given more support.


No official details have been released yet. Any changes will be made public once the World Motor Sport Council meets on March 18th, the same day as FP1 for the Bahrain Grand Prix. However, teams should already be aware of any major changes by the time the F1 Commission is scheduled to meet in February.

Please!

[dammage79]

Masi with 2 supports race directors is an acceptable outcome. But knowing how much sway Wolff has on the FIA , Masi is gone and a new race director system will be implemented.

Should probably be a small team of 5 or 6 IMO. Filtering info up to the head making the calls.

[Ironhorse]

Agreed. If the FIA dumps Masi it will be seen as capitulating to the demands of Wolff and Mercedes, and will just encourage further bullying by teams to get their way.

[KelVarnsen]

I wanted Masi gone before the whole Abu Dhabi Grand Prix debacle.

He was terrible all season. He needs to go even if it means Mercedes gets their way.
