Fali minimum jos dva tima u F1, pa ne bi bilo ovakvih situacija da nema mesta za kvalitetne trkace..

 

edit: I cestitke @Radoye na 3. mestu, dobro smo se trkali ove sezone. Steta sto vise necemo deliti motore, mislim da su McL i Rendza imali dobar partnerski odnos..

Fali minimum jos 3 tima pa da nakon cetvrt veka konacno imamo pun grid.

I hvala na cestitkama, meni je inace jako zao sto MCL prekida saradnju sa Renoom. Nijedan proizvodjac motora nema toliko fer odnos prema svojim musterijama i jedino s Renoom ima sanse da musterija bude ispred fabrickog tima na tabeli. Mercedesova masina jeste bolja ali s njima mi maksimum mozemo do drugog mesta, o sampionskoj tituli ne mozemo ni da sanjamo dok s Renoom u nekom novom mesanju karata to ne bi bilo nemoguce.

Za pocetak, daj bar jedan novi tim. Ali, nije na vidiku u ovoj situaciji. Mozda tamo 2023-24, ako se budget cap pokaze dobro u praksi..

Ironično, Macca je treća, jer je Mercedesov motor u RP otkazao dva puta u poslednje tri trke...Renault je bio pouzdaniji ove godine, a rekao bih, nakon ukidanja quali moda, da ni razlika u snazi više nije toliko velika. Mislim da je najveća prednost veličina i aerodinamičke pogodnosti, nešto što će Renault imati tek od 2022.g.

 

Inače, meni je ovo bila odlična i jako zabavna sezona. F1 je uradila vrhunski posao sa kalendarom i novim/starim stazama, u jako teškim okolnostima. I trkanje nije uopšte bilo loše (minus Abu Dabi i Španija koji su bili smor), možda ne na vrhu, ali odmah ispod je bilo sjajno - 4 ili pet približnih timova, iznenadjući pobednici, mnogo osvajača podijuma...generalno je midfield bio bliže RB, pa i Mercu nego ranije. U svakom slučaju bolje nego ona situacija od pre par godina kad bi neko iz 6orke sa začelja dolazio do 6og mesta u roku od 10 krugova, a podijumi za bilo koji tim van trojke bio misaona imenica.

 

Očekujem još bolju sledeću sezonu, mada sa lošijim stazama.

 

Šteta što na kraju nismo četvrti, koštala nas je ona Turska, mada realno , početak sezone je bio prilično loš, RP i McL su bili konstantni od početka.

McLaren Group said Sunday it has sold a stake in McLaren Racing, its division responsible for the McLaren Formula One team and recent IndyCar efforts.

The company reached a deal with a consortium of investors led by United States-based sports investment company MSP Sports Capital. Under the deal, MSP and its partners will invest a total of 185 million British pounds (approximately $247.8 million) into McLaren Racing, acquiring an initial 15% stake that will increase to a maximum 33% stake by the end of 2022.

The deal values McLaren Racing at approximately 560 million British pounds. It also sees Jahm Najafi, a partner of MSP, become vice chairman of McLaren Racing together with current vice chairman Shaikh Mohammed bin Essa Al Khalifa.

“This new investment bolsters our plan to return McLaren to contention for race wins and championships in Formula One and IndyCar, and will strengthen our positive momentum as we continue to focus relentlessly on our mission to return to the top of the podium,” Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing, said in a statement.

McLaren Group was hit particularly hard by the slowdown caused by the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, and McLaren Racing, like all F1 competitors, lost substantial revenue due to the delayed start of the 2020 season. Another iconic team, Williams, was sold to U.S.-based investment company Dorilton Capital in August.

The good news is that it looks like McLaren Group has put the worst behind it. The company, which also includes a technology division and the McLaren supercar business, in May made the tough decision to shed 25% of its workforce as part of a restructuring to deal with not only the pandemic but also new budget caps to be introduced in F1. The budget cap will start at $145 million in 2021 and drop to $135 million in ensuing years. And the company in September said it was looking to sell its headquarters in Woking, United Kingdom, and lease it back to raise further funds.

The Williams family have confirmed that Sir Frank Williams has been admitted to hospital. The 78-year-old is in a ‘stable’ condition.

 

Williams parted ways with the team he founded following its sale to Dorilton Capital earlier this year. The team issued a short statement from the Williams family.

 

“Sir Frank Williams has recently been admitted to hospital where he is currently in a stable condition,” it said. “Frank’s medical condition is a private matter and therefore the family will not be releasing any further details at this time.”

 

“We ask for you to respect the family’s privacy.”

 

Williams suffered paralysis in a road car accident in 1986 and has used a wheelchair since. He was hospitalised in 2016 to recover from pneumonia, following which he made a return to attending grands prix in person.
