Omg that is so good! And out of plasticine, how do you even do that?!?
I’d guess the only reason Haas haven’t announced Mazapin’s sacking already is due to legal issues. I bet dear-daddy is employing the UKs finest Russian loving layers to keep him in that seat
Good point!
this is great work!
the resemblance is uncanny 🙂
Massivespin has gone
Good to see Haas managed to fill FIA's ethics gap there
Drive To Survive S4 E4 reeeeeeeally awkward now
What happens in Ep 4?

Doubt it, they took him on in the first place despite him being known as a sex pest.
Probably worried uralkali won't deliver their bag of cash.

Ahh, I see, it's Haas, Mazepin and the Russian grand prix. Yep, that will be seen in a while new light now!!
It's not publicly released until next Friday but reviewers have seen it.
EPISODE 4: A MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB
The Haas team looks to reverse its recent fortunes with a new sponsor and two new rookie drivers: Nikita Mazepin and Mick Schumacher.Struggling to survive as an F1 team, they take on a new Russian sponsor and his son, who’s driving one of their cars. Nikita has a difficult start to the season with numerous incidents and, at times, feels everyone in the team is out to get him.
After spending some time at home with Mazepin in Moscow, the episode’s focus shifts onto his home race: the Russian Grand Prix.

Poor Nikita. It's almost as though he was only there because of his money rather than his ability.
Oh Nikita you will never know...
Oh Nikita you will never know…
This is very funny!
And we all read it in the same voice
That's Mazepin gone then. 21st out of 20 full time drivers in 2021 and having spun 22 times during the season and a reputation for boorish on and off track behaviour hasn't earned him many admirers.
I'm sure I saw reports saying that Merc and Redbull had come to a truce and agreed to move on from 2021?
Looks like Karen didn't get the memo.
Was just me who read the bit about the two teams hassling Michael who read Horners comments as ‘well I didn’t start it, it was them sir’?
Petty!
Looks like Karen didn’t get the memo.
Interesting. He was much more conciliatory on BBC Breakfast, saying they 'got lucky' in that last race.
My favourite bit is where he says he doesn’t think the regulations were applied incorrectly, just different to how they’d been applied before. So that would be different to correctly.
Drive to survive, Season 4; March 11…should be a good one!
Verstappen not taking part though, so the most interesting story line of 2021 isn't going to be very interesting after all.

So, err - possibly no sidepods on the Merc!!??

...or could be a load of twaddle! 🙂
No sidepods and a chonky boi airbox a la 2021 Alpine? Ambitious, if true.
McLaren could be doing something similar? 🤔
The sidepods in their 2022 car are already pretty flat and small. May be running wider vanity panels to disguise true size?
So what about being blocked for being a ****?

Nikita, how about asking your dad to fund a foundation for ordinary, peaceful people who have been blocked from living their ordinary, peaceful lives for political reasons? They're a lot more deserving of anyone's support than the spoilt brat son of a billionaire.
Magnussen back at Haas....multi-year contract apparently
So K-mag's back!!! did not see that coming.....
Thought Gio might have gotten the call due to recent F1 experience.
Does Magnussen bring mundo sponsorship money?
Tiny sidepods!
Sidepod opening immediately made me think of the Jordan 195

Well, the cars sure don't all look the same right now. Got a feeling there's going to be a lot of copycats next year though. Just a question of who got it right and who got it wrong.
Looks like the Merc is using the side impact beam as an aero structure.
how long before Horner objects….

Although Hamilton is last 4.5 seconds off the pace currently
We'll see where everyone is when they do qualy sims on Saturday. Until then what there is of those sidepods will be full of ballast! 🙂
how long before Horner objects….
He already has....says it's not in the spirit of the rules
Already?
Red Bull boss Christian Horner via Auto Motor und Sport: “The new Mercedes violates the spirit of the regulations. For us, there are some parts that are not legal.”
He really is a grade A cock.
I think James Allison knows the rule book as well as anyone. Or perhaps they don't have access to the rule book Red Bull work to.
