Giving the vaccine to young and fit drivers when old and ill people are waiting for it would be a disaster move in my opinion. Some rich guy in Canada is facing jail because he did some shenanigans to get vaccinated before it was his turn.


Here in Italy, some politicians did before others but we are corrupted so no punishment at all.

If the vaccine will be efficient for variants yes 2022 can be a normal year and exciting with the new cars from zero.

I lost my hair at an even younger age so I would welcome a rich F1 driver with the same problem, I would expect him to pay for some cosmetic surgery though.

yeah, it is not such an expensive thing, it is around 5k € not a problem at all for him.

I can afford that but I don't like how it's done even if it is getting better, hair taken from one place to put it elsewhere. I'm waiting for cloning so that it's possible to make thousands of hairs from a few.

About Imola, yeah, not too surprising as Italy is again hard hit (I have family there).

AlphaTauri driver Pierre Gasly has tested positive for Covid-19 and is self-isolating. That's number 6 already. The positive thing about this is, that the chance they get it later in the season in much less. Let's hope they could just train like they did normally while they are in self-isolating.

It is in the benefit of all us if the drivers pass Covid before the 2021 Championship starts so we don’t have absences like Hamilton in 2020 although that absence was good for F1 as we saw with Mercedes anyone can win.The more drivers pass Covid now the better and I think they should get vaccinated by Fia because the money and resources surely are available for such thing.

I do hope Vettel will redeem himself this season and maybe find a win out of nowhere as for now I'm not see Aston Marton as a strong candidate for the 3rd place just because McLaren really looks strong this year with Ricci, Mercedes partnership and already 2 good season behind them. On the other side, they branded with the biggest IT company right knows as Cognizant and if they came here from all the others teams out there, it must be a solid long-term project going on with Aston Martin that most likely will have a big success one day.

With all this corona stuff around there is the need to avoid contacts. Here in our local area all the hairdressers have clossed their studios since middle december.
From my point of view I would call it a corona haircut only. Even if Vettel now looks very old but its a good decision Cool
Yeah, probably his new haircut is related to corona stuff. I also had to cut my hair at home Cheesy. But I think that stressful years in Ferrari didn't helped for his hair too. I'm not fan of Vettel, but he is good guy and I really hope that he will have redemption season in Aston Martin

It looks like Rossi will have his own MotoGP team in 2022, the contract looks like it's in the home straight. But with which manufacturer, Suzuki or others? Yamaha looks like they don't want to build 6 bikes.

Hahah, the Vettel being bald jokes are here aswell so you gotta love Bitcointalk community <3. However, I feel a little sad for the guy as Ferrari really made him bald in my opinion with all the stress that he endured for all this season. On the other side , we all know that testosterone will damage your hair at some point of your life and it seems that Vettel is no exception of this. Do you remember Hamilton's hair in 2008 ? I do ...it was worse than Vettels.
It's just that Vettel is used to being treated as a leader in his teams, and when Ferrari began to divide its attention also on Leclair, Sebastian began to get nervous and make mistakes, sometimes very stupid. However, next year there will be a change of regulations and Vettel in the new team, as well as other drivers from other teams, has a chance to go back to the first roles in the championship, because he has a certain talent available.

UPDATE
The GP of Imola will be probably done with closed doors (April)especially since the vaccine thing is slowing down in Europe cause big Pharma are slow.

Vettel started to work with Aston Martin yesterday. And did you saw his new haircut? Cheesy

That's correct Vettel with bis new haircut looks very old  Grin Grin. The decision about the engine freeze was postponed and Red Bull with Honda are already in the dark.

Sorry i found this only at Herman.

Timing is similar to the LeClerc times did in the past.

Wow he looks much older now. Maybe they had some glue in the Ferrari helmets ;-)

Maybe if the Australian Moto GP was canceled Mandalika could be a replacement. Even if I read in the local media of my country (Indonesia) they will be ready for the Moto GP schedule. I am a little disappointed because Mandalika is not the main series.
Mandalika is not as reserve for replacement, Based on the information from the Indonesian MotoGP organizers that I read in local media, Mandalika will become MotoGP venue in 2021, but because construction is still in process, Mandalika's status is still "subject to homoligation", according to the organizer, this means that for example the construction is complete and all facilities are in accordance with standards, then Indonesia will be included in the schedule between October - November. The construction schedule target will finished on June 2021, will see, may it's true.

Monaco only has to rain and the race turns to chaos, its the most compact of the circuits and even purely teams the support crews will be raising risks in reduced distances.    It also possible that by that time all people involved will have a vaccine applied and so its no longer relevant, we are talking about people with a heck of alot of money who want it to ahead and so it might.

Quote
I wonder what the new rookie F1 drivers will do this season.

Developments in the cars are where I look for greatest changes, with such extremes even something subtle can alter lap times and so shift the balance of power between teams.
