It appears Mazespin’s future is also in jeopardy … maybe it will open a window for Andretti to get involved with the Haas team ?

Cheers

They supposedly stripped the car of its Russian livery and sponsorship. Wonder what HAAS' future is now?

Andretti riding in as a white knight and buying into an F1 team at a lower price than what they expected to pay just a week ago, but 2 years sooner than they planned as well.

I think Gene Haas may have had enough of playing in the big boy sandbox so if Andretti can give Gene a few hundred million to buy a team, instead of giving F1 that same money just to be granted the right to start a new team from the ground up, that could be a win for them both.

It's unthinkable for F1 to have any involvement with Russia at this time.

Mazapin’s father is an oligarch? Host countries ought to withdraw the kid’s visas.

Mazepin was already an embarrassment on the F1 grid before any of this happened. Hopefully Haas will finally ditch him.

Clarkson thinks the same as you Colin... just a little more vocal about it.

Russia?

Who up and decided that retard was a bad word? I don't ever remember being consulted as it was a medical term in common usage until the late 70s early 80s. Then one day it becomes the "R word".

If you want to know what's retarded its what happened to the word retard.

Crap, so what is the socially acceptable term that means the opposite of “Advance timing” in an engine?

Talk to anyone under the age of 20 and you will quickly find out that the R word is no longer socially acceptable; my daughter reminds me of this constantly. We are mostly from a different generation with a different set of expectations.
