I can take the first part of your statement in norwegian. For å gi et svar på det. Så må vi se litt nøyere på hva Marko gjorde eller var. Hos Red Bull. Han var finans analytiker. Den delen vil bli utfylt av Alistair Rew. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

financieel raadgever in Dutch

Adviseur aangaande chauffeur in Dutch

Financieel analiseerder in Dutch

Dat deel wordt ingevuld door Alistair Rew in Dutch

all the liveries are know by now

i like most of them, but Audi is ugly in my opinion and Ferrari should get rid of the blue/white HP logo

I agree about Audi, it looks like they’ve taken 3 different liveries from over the years and come up with a tri-colour mess.

For me the Haas looks just a bit b.oring. I wish Ferrari would go back to its original racing colors (Yellow)
And Audi is just using the colors they always used somewhere in motorsports.
But the way they do it looks indeed a bit strange

Eddie Jordan would have loved that :slight_smile:
No, Ferrari are the reds, let them stay that way

The one thing I did just notice, Racing Bulls might need to modify their livery as it’s too close to call to it’s sister team, and under racing conditions, you could get the 2 teams mixed up.

and Mercedes and Caddilac?

Ferrari in yellow? No. Let the former Benson & Hedges Total Jordan Peugeot or Honda take care of that part. Would make Eddie Jordan happy. :fire:

He will be missed, he was a great team owner as well as a good laugh off track as an F1 pundit for ITV & CH4 here in the UK.

He was a real Irish gentleman. Always made sure his environment that he was a part of had an enjoyable time. Will be very missed for sure. :heart_eyes:

Reading that race & qualifying session of the lower Formulas, there should be quite a bit of rubber laid down to give the F1 cars good grip, for their qualifying session.

Mercedes have released a statement confirming that Kimi Antonelli was involved in a traffic accident on Saturday night close to his home in San Marino. The police attended the scene, after being called by Kimi. His was the only car involved and while his vehicle was damaged, Kimi was completely unhurt.

Morningsession done, normal racedistance is 57 laps, so most of the teams did a race distance this morning, no big problems, but also no hot laps yet

That is promising for the upcoming first race. We want to see racing and not DNFs due to tech problems.
