2023 F1 news/rumours

Indeed, Newey did not want to move to Italy, different to Balbo wanting to remain at Red Bull, hard for you to understand I know.

LOL Okay, Greig. So much Cope.

Wanting to stay in a town, doesn't mean he wants to stay with the employer also located there.

So he is leaving Red Bull? You don't get European sport and it's terms in the media clearly but that's ok.

Cope harder

[Greig]

Cope harder

Understand European sport better.

Hint, when the Euro media says something like he wants to stay in Milton Keynes, it means he wants to stay with Red Bull who are based there.

[paolo lalli]

BALBO turn coat italian does not know what side of the fence to be on.

I agree. The wording of the article doesn't necessarily say they do not want to move to Italy, or that they want to stay in England. It specifically writes Milton Keynes, which is Red Bull. There is a very good chance it has nothing to do with location at all, and that he said he wants to stay at Red Bull, the team that is currently winning dominating.

It also could mean he didn't want to move to Italy. There are half a dozen ways to interpret what was written. It's not like the article was a quote anyways.

We will have to see who will join. Right now the news are a little bit disappointing...

[WS6TransAm01]

So do we all agree that at this point it looks like RBR will win every race this season?

totally.....unless they have some reliability issues and Alo will sneak a race win....but US winning??? no freaking way, NOT with the clowns that are running within the Ferrari F1 team

I am really hoping their CFD and wind tunnel limits will prevent their developments and hopefully other teams can close the gap.

will Ferrari be one of those teams??? i ABSOLUTELY doubt it

they're so far ahead mate, they can stop developing now and still win both championships

[tpe]

Ferrari has one and only one chance for a win, provided that neither Leclerc, nor the team screw up: Monaco.
Nothing else.
At the end of the season, when both championships are bagged, AM or Mercedes will win a couple of races.

[Cavallino]

In 2010 the new regulations were aero centric.
In 2014 the new regulations were engine centric.
In 2022 the new regulations were aero centric.

First of all, before I continue the thought i'm getting at, I want to point out that when Ferrari went on to "dominate" in the early 2000s, there was no new Formula, so you could actually say, yes, the other teams dropped the ball in putting up any fight. That's when the FIA stepping in really started.

Now in 2022, we should have not let Red Bull get their engine freeze. The FIA has to craft regulations that don't favour engine or aero, then you could actually have an interesting championship where the different cars win at different tracks, like it was in the old days.

Having such an aero centric formula, combined with a cost cap, means there is almost no chance for any team to catch up now because it's looking more and more like they need to scrap their concepts (Ferrari and Merc). So you're essentially going to have a spec series. With cars in 3 years of developments behind the others.

[SS454]

will Ferrari be one of those teams??? i ABSOLUTELY doubt it

Considering Ferrari had more development resources last year and a better car, and still lost ground to RRB, I'd say it's very unlikely Ferrari is one of the teams to close the gap in any significant way. Mercedes and hopefully Aston Martin could improve enough to challenge for wins here and there by seasons end. Won't challenge for the championships, but wins maybe.

For higher management, F1 is not important. It's all about the stock price, and it shows week in week out.

[paolo lalli]

Lucky share holders,the returns pay for there lifestyle and outgoings not ferrari f1 results.

Imola will be crucial:

- Merc is bringing a new floor + front susp. + sidepods
- Ferrari is introducing a new rear suspension, complementing the Miami floor (worth 0.1s) and Spain upgrade (worth 0.3s) [source: @GiulyDuchessa]


Don't expect them to extract 100% from the start.



Aston is bringing a significant package as well!

Maybe they have the least room for improvement as they are the team (among these 3) with the smaller problems, OR it will thrust them closer to RB.

[paolo lalli]

Aston will bring what they can copy from red bull.

[jgonzalesm6]

If this W14 B-Spec at Imola turns out to be a dud, expect another lobby from Mercedes to the FIA to issue another TD to slow RedBull down.

[paolo lalli]

Yes for sure merc protest and most of the allocated salary cap will be spent .This will apply to ferrari also so let's hope they got it right so some fire can be added to this less than spectacular f1 season

According to Motorsport Italy, Scuderia Ferrari will not introduce the "long-awaited rear suspension" upgrade this weekend, instead it will makes the debut in Barcelona with the new aero package aerodynamic.



Weather update: Imola is experiencing ALOT of rain currently. 50% chance for the weekend.

Pirelli is already changing the tires in July because

“We’ve seen how much more performance the 2023 cars have compared to last year throughout the opening races of this season, and that is thanks to the extraordinary pace of development shown by all 10 of the teams,”

How much you wanna bet it's because one team complained about one other team? You know... the team which got a secret tire test from Pirelli in the past...

Crybaby at it again...

Hamilton suggests F1 must ‘adapt’ regulations before 2026 overhaul

Hamilton retains concerns that Red Bull, who have won 14 of the last 15 races – could remain unchallenged through to 2026 if no changes are made before the regulations are reshaped.

“It is just unfortunate we still see the same sort of gaps between teams. I don’t know what the solution is for the future, but I think we’re going to have to continue to adapt these regulations moving forwards otherwise it could be the same as it is now for years, until 2026. If we don’t do a better job, which we’re working on doing.”

https://www.motorsportweek.com/2023/...2026-overhaul/

Crymilton didn't seem to care when his car was lapping the field for 8 years with zero competition, now he has a problem? I can almost guarantee these new tire specs are at a direct result of Toto's dealings. Likely more TD's to come "for the good of the sport" of course.

He even cried when teams had new solutions and ideas that would close the gap to Mercedes, and the FIA worked with them to ensure they remained dominant. He cried about the porpoising last year and helped get TD39 put in place. How about just shut up and do better? We all know Mercedes is going to introduce some magical upgrade that will get them back to winning. The FIA want to see Hamilton get back to winning. Liberty Media knows how successful the ratings are when it's Hamilton vs Verstappen. In the pursuit of a profitable "good show", they will do whatever they can to make it happen.

[Brembo]

Masi did what he had to do! Lewis would now be going for #9 ! Lewis did shut up for months after the theft. Liberty is looking out for Liberty, who can blame them?
