And the zero pod that made some of us on the F1 2022 thread give Merc the title in mid February :lol:

hook, line & s(t)inker for me... although TM will likely reappear in their next guise to claim Merc can still win that '22 title as they're still sandbagging... :lol:

Horner in talks to buy 24% of Alpine according to some post on Instagram I’ve just read

It is reported that a consortium headed by Otro Capital, a private equity and investment firm, are interested in selling their 24 per cent stake, which Forbes value at around $588 million.

But according to PlanetF1, a key clause in the sale agreement to Otro, finalised in September 2023, states that a sale can only proceed 'after the date which is three years after the date of adoption of these articles'.

A sale would also require the approval of Alpine's parent company Renault.

In the meantime, Horner has announced his next role - a speaking tour of Australia.

He will appear in three shows - in Melbourne on February 24, Sydney on February 26 and Perth on March 2.

The season-opening F1 Australian Grand Prix takes place at Albert Park, Melbourne on March 8.

Another £7.60 and he can probably buy the lot!

They're right like, far too much white. Quite like it as a livery, but too white for a Ferrari.

Lauda's Ferrari was a beaut. It's rare that Ferrari has truly been all red, at least since they were just wingless cigar shapes in national colours anyway

I can’t wait to see them running properly.

As Frank Williams said “you don’t get anything for winning the winter Grand Prix”

Or as I prefer “ the bullsh*t stops when the flag drops”

It’s all about racing not poncey overalls and paint jobs.

Matt from P1 with Matt and Tommys reaction to this was quite amusing, he does not like white on the Ferrari.

Quite amused by seeing on social media that people are saying Lewis is gonna look like a really really fast fried egg !!
Seems Williams have failed the crash test 3 times and Aston Martin have aswell more than once !

Several teams are looking at being significantly overweight aswell
