The first test day is on February 23 so it would be kind of surprising if we were done by February 18. But maybe the teams will indeed be earlier than usual because of the big rule change.

Livery/showcar launch. It won’t be the real thing I’m sure
I expect this will be the case for most, if not all teams.

And in other news, they've announced Mike Krack (slightly unfortunate name) as the new TP - he is the ex-BMW motorsports boss.

Amazing name, poor bloke.

I'll wait for the 2022 'all teams' technical thread.
Posted 14 January 2022 - 18:02
I'll just leave this here ... and run away.

Don't get this thread closed please, chaps.

To shamelessly pilfer something from the Racer comments section on the matter:
2021: This is your Aston Martin
2022: This is your Aston Martin on Krack
Posted 14 January 2022 - 20:55
That'll keep David Croft sharp
Just imagine if he'd joined Haas, instead...
[Gosh, do we ever grow up??]

Just watched a piece on "The Race" about Mike Krack. He seems to have quite the comprehensive resume and may well be just what Aston Martin needs. Best of luck to him.

Like or dislike Lawrence Stroll, but this is exactly the sort of stuff that makes for a successful businessperson. Man's got moxie, maybe even enough to make Aston Martin a WCC team in the near future.

Buying out contracts and hoping that a team of people that never worked with eachother blend together well? I consider such strategy as high risk management without any certainty of success and a devaluation of the existing people in your company now being flanked with "superstars" like Fallows.

I'd be keen to see them try and work with a lighter shade of green as the livery didn't translate to TV very well and often was hard to tell apart from the Mercs, having the same nose didn't help of course.

Indeed- I think they will brighten up, maybe closer to the Jag green of 2000-2004.
Also Aramco has quite a bright green in its logo, so that will help too. I expect two tones of green with a flash of blue on their livery.

Props to Aston Martin for taking us seriously. Looking forward to the first actual 2022 car, even though I'm sure we won't see all angles properly until Barca.
Posted 10 February 2022 - 13:24
I believe it will come straight off the production line in lighter green - but not much....

Yep, RoboStroll reading an autocue very awkwardly.

Certainly not the most inspirational of speakers when he's squinting at the autocue.
Posted 10 February 2022 - 14:09
This is embarrassing.
Posted 10 February 2022 - 14:09
This is hilarious. No effort whatsoever haha.

Rachel asks him a question as if it's a normal conversation, Stroll turns around, shows his back to her and reads at a camera.
Posted 10 February 2022 - 14:10
What the hell is this man this is so weirdly hilarious!
Posted 10 February 2022 - 14:10
Every time Stroll blinks, I take a shot of my whiskey! I'm still sober....

"We climb, together!"
I think he just ripped of the slogan of South Oxfordshire Housing Association.

Do it every time your toes curl. I'm on my 3rd bottle.

Looks so hot except the shark gills.
Really nice car.
Posted 10 February 2022 - 14:16
Wow what an absolute beauty.
Sidepods completely different philosophy compared to Haas.
The gills! They're hot.
Posted 10 February 2022 - 14:16
Really love the cooling on the sidepods. Reminds me of the Ferrari F2003-GA.
