Pre-Season F1 2022

[The Artist.....]

an unpopular decision as we won be seeing any action in test 1, as there will be no times or footage from test 1, as its back to the old days of winter testing with the test 2 being the usual TV fest & our 1st chance to see times & what the pecking order could be

This is not quite true. There will be (end of the day) times, but no live timing. For a new generation of cars, I suspect that teams don’t want to have any painful failures broadcast to the world!

It is a shame we won't get to see who has royally arsed things up at the first test. Yes, Ferrari, I'm looking at you.

i didnt know we got timings but from what i heard it was a shakedown. no journalists, no times & no coverage

i have feeling about Ferrari because how great the recovery has been it took McLaren 4-5 yrs to go from last to 3rd. being in contention for poles & wins. Ferrari had done that within 8 months

It’s a shakedown as Bahrain paid Liberty Media, to have the official test at Sakkir.

F1Brits_90 - according to Autosport:

• No spectators
• No live timing, but times posted after each day
• No broadcasting, but broadcasters and media will be in attendance
• Teams will be able to put content on Social Media
• F1 will distribute their own videos and other social content

The Artist..... i know this just for me but does that mean that ted testing notebook would be back if they have journalists

Also on different bit as its something ive noticed that the Premier league Live Fixtures have been announced & its extremely odd decision from sky sports that they have decided to put the 1 of the biggest games of the season on at the same time as the opening race of the season, you wouldve thought that they would be trying to build upon the massive profile for good & bad last season had

No broadcasting, but broadcasters and media will be in attendance

Presumably to record enough material for several hours of pre opening race broadcasting otherwise there's zero point them being there.

teams in thinking of themselves before the sport, shocker

Here's an idea, either have them at every race or not at any. Load of crap!

but you couldnt have 1 at monaco & i would be against permanent friday qualifying. but that goes with ideas we had for a while have instead of FP2 on the Friday evening a sprint race with either championship order setting the grid or reverse championship order

 

[F1Brits_90]

also a interesting rumour

F1Brits_90, if you can't have a sprint race at Monaco then there shouldn't be a full F1 race. Now there's a thought.

Was thinking the very same thing.

With so many races now being run it other venues where the stupidly rich would quite happily light their cigars and wipe their arses with rolls of dollar bills, even they don't need Monaco anymore.

but without history what is sport

Part of me agrees but at the same time, there is a list as long as your arm of outstanding circuits that it is simply no longer viable to host F1 races on.

Brands Hatch would still be on the calendar if it had a harbour and was surrounded by multi million dollar apartments.

In this matter, Ferrari looks more professional, because 4-5 years is a very long time.
