The real problem may be those exceptionally dull Arabian "circuits". It certainly doesn’t help! I agree with Mikael that a natural terrain road course cannot be artificial and vast desert sands are not natural terrain, a conviction bound to confuse Hermann Tilke and his patron Ecclestone and amuse the Saudi Crown Prince who can do unto others whenever he wants. |

David Sanchez, the man responsible for the design and development of the Ferrari SF-23 F1 car and last years F1-75 has left the company. It is not yet clear what the reason is behind his leaving but after the departure of Binotto, who was a technical mastermind, and the replacement of chief strategist Rueda, this is the third high profile figure within the Scuderia who has left. Timing wise, this doesn't sound very good. But okay, let's keep the faith.

Ferrari is justifiably seen as the historic essence of Formula One and I worry the team may be in another period of disarray. When good people are leaving, the underlying fault is usually at the top where, as unanimous consenus in most boardrooms will attest, no fault exists.  In Italian, scuderia is defined as stable and refers to the famous cavallino rampante logo, but success in Formula One requires stability of execution.

lets be honest if Ferrari doesn't get its act totally together then we are facing another RB dominated year and a possible hat-trick for Verstappen and I would wonder what that will do to any lingering enthusiasm to many border-line fans, or are we back to the Ecclestone era where fans don't matter?

Explosive news: American company accused of violating sanctions, doing business with Russian arms industry. Russia's economy depends on revenues from oil exports and American sanctions have been tuned up to choke its war effort against Ukraine. But there’s one area important to the Kremlin’s military output that has so far avoided scrutiny. It involves Haas Automation, a high tech American manufacturer that may be flouting export controls. Simon Ostrovsky reports with support from the Pulitzer Center. Read the full article: www.pbs.org/newshour/show/american-company-accused-of-violating-sanctions-doing-business-with-russian-arms-industryF1 may need the arrival of Andretti sooner than they thought if the above has repercussions. |

If this is proven true, Michael Andretti will have great leverage in racing and Gene Haas will have none in prison, although the far-right in the repulsive party has always admired Putin. This could reverberate where fascism has been quietly admired and the American Bund held massive rallies leading up to WW2. |

Here is the expected denial of wrongdoing by Haas. Time and impartiality may tell where the truth lies. One possibility that occurs to me is that Haas has been smeared by Russian propaganda orchestrated by Dimitry Mazepin, close associate of Vladimir Putin and father of Nikita. The massive Russian propaganda operation centered in the KGB has already demonstrated a willingness to interfere in free and fair elections and would not hesitate to damage the Western alliance to assist Ukraine by lying about sanction compliance. -- Quoted below as reported by Associated Press in today's Washington Post --
KANNAPOLIS, North Carolina — The Haas Formula One team has dismissed a report claiming its parent company broke sanctions by providing machinery to Russia as “simply false.” Haas F1 responded in a statement Thursday to a report by American broadcaster PBS on Tuesday alleging that the Haas Automation company had provided machines and parts to Russia. This would have been in violation of U.S. export control and sanctions regulations after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year. “That story is simply false, both in its overall impression and in many of its particular statements,” the Haas F1 team said in a statement. “The 18 machines referenced in the story left the Haas Automation factory prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.” Haas added that it completely terminated its relationship with Abamet Management — its independent distributor for Russia and Belarus — on March 3, 2022, soon after the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24. “Since that date, Haas has not sold or shipped any machines, parts, or software to Abamet or anyone else in Russia,” Haas said. Haas Automation said in a separate statement that it also canceled 50 existing machine orders from Abamet on March 3. Two days later, Russian driver Nikita Mazepin was dropped by the Haas F1 team and Haas also ended its sponsorship with Uralkali, the Russian fertilizer company owned by Mazepin’s father. Dmitry Mazepin is a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his son’s contract to drive was linked to the team sponsorship. |
