JasonM Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 People will hate the pink panther, but I like it. That livery in combination with the new generation of cars looks sleek as hell. But I love both liveries and won't mind to see either of them. I'm probably in the minority though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Nah I like the pink too, I'm all in favour of cars that stand out. I do however know I'll be thinking they're Force Indias for at least the first race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the developments this morning, it would be a really great idea for that livery to be changed as quickly as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIA gonna ride this fence all the way home and don't do anything until they find out the Russian money isn't forthcoming anymore. They'll just keep toeing the "No politics in sports" bullshit they've been doing for every blood and oil-money driven event of the past two decades. At best they'll cancel the Russian GP, but only do it because of 'stability issues' rather than outright making a condemning statement. Telling Haas to change their livery (which they 1000% should, but they won't cause they're rat bastards) would be too much of a statement from the FIA, and risk their precious little money flow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 The Russian GP will just be Mazepin turning up in the hope of doing two laps for it to qualify as a race win and still somehow binning it into the wall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Haas will drop their current livery for tomorrow's test, instead it will be all white with no red or blue. Unfortunately, they don't intend to drop their driver. Mazepin: I don't mix sports and politics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 There seems to be a lot of rumblings that Uralkali are out of being a Haas backer, leaving no funding for Mazepin to drive, with Ferrari likely to offer Giovanazzi to Haas with some money to cover it. Purely speculation though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWPea Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 Let’s hope it’s riddance to Uralkali, Mazepin and the god awful livery. I’d love for Haas to pull up in Bahrain with a yellow and blue livery, or go full Stars and Stripes to make a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 As perhaps feared, the focus on Wolff/Horner is strong. Hell, there's more footage of Ginger Spice in the trailer than most of the drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Russian drivers will be allowed to compete in FIA events under a neutral flag, so it's down to Haas if they want to run Mazepin with no financial backing, or a better driver with some financial backing. Weirdly I expect them to pick Mazepin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 It's strange how quickly they dropped the livery, considering this time last year Gunther Steiner said: Quote "We came up with this livery already last year before all of this came out from WADA about the Russian flag. Obviously we cannot use the Russian flag as the Russian flag, but you can use colors on a car. In the end, it's the athlete which cannot display the Russian flag and not the team. The team is an American team." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
