Overally, I don't expect many changes. Last year, F1 ground effect cars have been introduced, which were quite different from previous year's cars to reduce dirty air. So, we won't have any of such changes now.
Maybe we will see some sidepod design changes but not much else.
For comparison: from 2021 to 2022 season, cars were changed a lot, including completely different front and back wings, bargeboards were removed and sidepod design was different. In addition to floor design changes of course, since 2022 season cars were changed to ground effect cars.
Yeah, in 2022 it was new generation cars, so changes were huge. This season we can only expect to see some minor changes, like sidepods. But I think that none of teams haven't showed yet same design of cars how it will look on the track.
Have any of you ran into and F1 legends recently?
Last one before this was Bottas, met him in Helsinki, Finland when he was doing a watch sponsorship night for Williams!
That's nice. Steiner looks like one of the most charismatic persononalities in F1, it would be very interestingto chat with him. I didn't had chance to meet F1 stars face to face, in past I saw David Coulthard in Red Bull Showrun event in Vilnius.
Yep, Stake did very good. Their name is in team name and it's also all over the car, one cannot miss it.
There was a news in December I think. A lot of crypto companies have left Formula 1, leaving money problems here and there too iirc. It was not only FTX, I think the list had 3 or 4 companies at least (3 were easy to remember: FTX/Merc, Velas/Ferrari, Tezos/RBR, but I think that there were more). I feared crypto.com would do the same. So saying "crypto" now in Formula 1 is a bit sensitive.
And about Sportsbet, I don't know, all eyes seem to be on Piastri, but it can be a risky bet. Still, did anybody check how it would Sportsbet.io logo look on papaya orange?
(I've seen it on so many colors, so why not?)
Previous season was terrible for crypto business and F1 partnership. I also remember that Mlcaren terminated their contract with Bitci.com exchange before start of 2022 season. So, yeah, crypto now is sensitive word there.
Now trying to imagine Sportsbet logo on orange Mlcaren car. I think it wouldn't look bad. But judging from post above, now we can expect to see their logo on Haas car
