do one of those clever angle photos so it looks like your sitting in the car.
I guess its a very early season car before they started bolting on, all the addons tat nade it super quick.
Still cool that you get so close to it.
One other question, which you'd have to get on the floor for. Does it actually have a mclaren F1 floor with the vanes and tunnels?
So we've got one of Landos cars from this season at our work, could have it for quite a while apparently.
I've got a few different photos but didn't want to dox myself. Touched the rear wing, waiting on my fine.
Is it real or a display car?
Well worth a listen. Tom Clarkson for his "Beyond the grid" podcast. Interviews none other than Adrian Newey.

Should be easy to spot... the engine inlets usually give it away. Or the bodywork around the suspension.
Here it is from another angle.
Edit: and another, bit funky over the wheel as I magic erased myself from the photo

Can't tell from a photo...
Have a look in the louvres, is there engine gubbins under there? In the intricate unpainted bits of suspension and aero can you see the carbon weave or is it just plastic?
i doubt the powertrain would be in there. Its always removed.
Watching that clip from VSC when Norris was behind Perez, isn't that another penalty worthy? Did that happen after Perez was back in the race? If so, he definitely deserves point deduction.
Likely but there will still be some parts in there as opposed to a display car which is just an empty shell.
Perez picked up 4 penalty points on his Super Licence, after his disastrous Japanese GP.
This take him to 7 points.
This take him to 7 points.
As long as circuits still see record attendance and people are paying for watching the races I'm not sure they are all that concerned about social media drop off. It was always going to happen again after Netflix created unrealistic expectations about the sport. Had this happened during any of the other eras of domination we d have seen the exact same thing. Those who think F1 went too far in creating drama in 21 should applaud this. At least Twitter and Youtube are still cess pools of vile comments if people miss it.
did anyone listen to Adrian Newey's interview? Apparently a few regrets in F1 mainly cause of timing and not happening for whatever reasons. Working for ferrari and working with alonso and hamilton (the two great drivers of their era).
Didn't listen to it but I read the transcript. Newey seems like such an inspiring guy, also when I've seen him in for instance the "talking Bull" RBs own podcast.
It was interesting to read how fed up he and Horner were with Renault's inability to give them a proper engine and that that was also part of the reason why he almost left at some pt. I like how mature his view also is about those regrets: basically that we all have those "what if" moments but in the end you have to find happiness with the decisions you made. And certainly he will go down as a legend regardless. If I had to guess his biggest regret of the ones mentioned may be not working with Ferrari and Schumacher... reading between the lines a bit.
I think they will have a lot of concern. Outside of some of the races in the USA, Liberty get paid from the promoters of the circuit rather than promoting it themselves (which is when they'll give a shit about attendances), the social media volume will add some valuation onto the business. A drop off will be bad for business, and impact valuations which if rumours are to be believed Liberty will be planning to exit in the future.
Personally I couldn't give a hoot about what makes Liberty money. Like most other motorsports it's not even designed to be a sport with the appeal of a basketball or footie because I simply can't do the same as a pro athlete without having some serious cash to burn, places to do it, etc. Trying to sustain the sport as something it never was or can be without making some seriously drastic changes is just a terrible idea. Stop calling it Formula 1 in that case and come up with a new discipline is what I'd say. If anything the sport has gotten even more out of reach, especially for spectators needing to fork over increasingly large amounts of cash to attend a race or even watch it remotely.
Understandably rejected. Wanted a collaboration with ferrrari and build its cars in New Zealand. Madness, anyone in F1 will tell you, you have to be based in europe ideally the UK if you want to compete. Its where all of the talent is.

feck
Piracy here i come.
Problem for him was that arguably at the time, Ferrari and Schumacher had the only car designer that was actually better than him.
Circuit attendance is a minimal part of the F1 machine. They will be concerned. Drop off was inevitable even without the FIA screwing the sport up, D2S isn't a novelty show anymore and people will move on.
2 billion feck me thats a lot of money.
The subs to Apple TV will skyrocket to get that amount of money back, I will not be paying.
The frontrunner to join the F1 grid has been revealed after a rival in the FIA process released a statement saying Andretti Motorsport will be the 'successful' applicant.

Andretti only successful because they teams up with chevrolet as their engine manufactuer. F1 doesnt want more cusomer teams like Haas, it wants more manufactuer teams like Audi.
Rodin Cars was interesting. Well represented in the junior formula, have their own race track and the idea of a woman driver having one of the seats was refreshing.
Shame they didnt or couldnt go down the route of trying to get Toyota or Hyundai or some one else in the southern hemisphere as their engine manufacturer, would have improved their case.
Also maybe the f1 talent thats europe based, might have been up for relocating to New Zealand. After all its a lovely place to live apparently.
interesting quote from Adrian Newey. Its in regards to teammates where one is demostratably quicker than the other. They were discussing max and his teammates.
....“So if you’re going to have two teammates, where one is exceptional, and the other is brilliant but not quite at that level, the other one needs to be somebody who will, at some points, accept that he certainly can’t beat Max, for instance, on pace. You’re going to have to do it in some other way which, of course, has been done – if you look at Niki [Lauda] and Alain [Prost] against each other.
“Alain was always the quickest driver, but Niki managed to win a championship. You probably argue the same for Nico [Rosberg] and Lewis [Hamilton]”.......
The interview is interesting. He also discussed the issues with putting two 'alpha' drivers in the same team. Also how a older maturer alonso would be a different character to the 2007 mclaren alonso if he was in a team with either Max or Lewis.

Rodin was an interesting bid, but based in New Zealand it was never going t happen, the logistics would be difficult to say the least, the female driver, it will happen eventually.
I doubt money was the issue David Dicker is worth $1B.
How's that going to work with Netflix running D2S.
Don't see how it would affect it, Netflix will have a contract, no idea how long its for, but doubt it will change.
Imagine yank hosts and commentary, giggity giggity let's go racing
But F1 is going to reject it alledgly.
If they insist on Cadillac/GM making the PU it's probably deader than dead bc I don't see GM wanting to commit to that now - especially with the strikes going on.
Dont they have a vote between the teams ?
Sure I have read that the other teams dont want a new team coming in.
yes, it would mean cutting up the pie (huge pot of money) with 11 slices instead of 10 slices.
