They still could be. Do you know how it shook out with the Honda program? Not sure if they just bought the mfg facility or own the IP etc around it as well. Could work very closely with Porsche and co-brand maybe?
It'll be really interesting how they separate out the Porsche and Audi work as well. If Audi goes to McLaren.

Couple new rules for 2022

cars making Q3 no longer have to start on the tyre they set the fastest time on in Q2 - ie free start tyre choice for the race for all.

Sprint events have a few changes, the name for one to remove ‘qualifying’, pole position is awarded to the quickest car in qualifying and more points are available (from 1st to 8th, starting at 8 points for 1st and reducing to 1 for 8th).

The tire thing makes sense. I think ti was originally conceived, and worked for many seasons, to punish the faster cars and equalize the race a bit more, since they were all on softs. But once a couple teams were strong enough to do Q2 on mediums, it gave the fastest teams a distinct advantage.

Anyone have F1 TV pro? Thinking about getting it for this year. Any thoughts or feedback on it?

I had it a few years ago and it sucked so bad I got a refund from apple because it literally never worked. It also had a terrible interface, no apps for any popular devices (Apple TV, fire stick etc) and regularly froze and crashed.
But it seems to be popular with the Reddit crowd so maybe it has improved? I recall a time when they regularly trashed it too but I don’t see many complaints anymore.

Into the car itself though, lowest snorkel in the group. Side pods looks pretty cool. And I think that might be the best nose in the group.
AM is my winner this year though, that thing is a work of art.

Maybe it’s because I saw a lot of the speculative liveries but I don’t mind it.
The race suits on the other hand. Yikes.

I think it looks fantastic. Race suits? Not so much. And another different take on the side pod design.

The four-time world champion says he won’t race in Sochi if Formula 1 travels to Russia this year.
Quote:
In today’s press conference in Barcelona, Vettel said: “I think it’s wrong to race in that country. I’m sorry for the people, innocent people who are losing their lives, getting killed for stupid reasons under a very strange and mad leadership.”
His strong words were echoed by reigning world champion Max Verstappen, who said that “when a country is at war, it is not right to race there.”

I doubt F1 will pull out, but maybe if enough drivers do, it puts them in a tough spot.

They better pull out of Russia.
Besides if it's a money thing they can just hold it in AB in the summer when oil is at $200/barrel.
