Wolff Reveals One Thing He "Really Regrets" From 2021
While Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton engaged in a fierce on-track rivalry last season, most of the off-track drama was provided by their respective team principals Christian Horner and Toto Wolff which included quite a few verbal jibes. Wolff has now looked back at this rivalry while speaking to Formula 1 Magazine Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxHoUKxmAZbAue_BJC6JKEEIvv8PsnMV_0 0:00 - Why Toto Wolff “Really” Regrets Verbal Spats With Christian Horner 1:10 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Why Toto Wolff “Really” Regrets Verbal Spats With Christian Horner Wolff began by pointing out how things got really personal between the two “I really regret it. I always try to stay professional, approach things professionally. However, at some point it became very personal between the two of us” He then looked at what he felt was the peak of this rivalry “At one point [following the flexi-wings controversy] he said that I should keep my mouth shut. Then I responded by saying he was a windbag and talked too much for the cameras” He signed off by explaining why he shouldn’t have made such statements “I shouldn’t have said that because it’s a professional relationship and you know that even your worst enemy has a best friend” “So you have to respect that person, even if you fight a hard duel” Fast Feed Mike Elliott, technical director of Mercedes, feels that “the overall performance of the new cars probably won’t be much different from the old cars” [Mercedes AMG F1] “The cars will look very different. They will perform quite differently and that is going to be interesting to watch” “All of this year’s cars will look fairly similar [to each other]. The differences will all be subtle changes in the aerodynamic shapes particularly underneath the car” Former F1 driver Stoffel Vandoorne has stated that “you didn’t see everything that happened behind the scenes, all the politics” during his time in F1 at McLaren [Dernière Heure] “It’s not easy to drive at your best when you know that the team is negotiating with other drivers behind your back” Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko feels that “[Carlos] Sainz was unlucky to debut at the same time as [Max] Verstappen” [Autorevue] “He was immediately fast and good. We already saw in the first tests at Silverstone. He was as fast as Verstappen” “Sainz certainly belongs among the top drivers. He has proven that” Alpine’s Fernando Alonso has divulged that “last year when [he] was testing the old Renault on [his] comeback to the sport, [he shared] a couple of days with [Guanyu] Zhou in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi.” [F1i] “It’s good for Formula 1 in general, I think, [and] for China, for Zhou” “We are all looking forward to race with him, and [to] welcome him in the best way possible” In a note sent to the media on Monday, Mercedes moved to rubbish the report published over the weekend that stated that the Brackley squad’s chassis had failed a side-impact test [F1i] Red Bull team principal Christian Horner feels that sprint qualifying “wasn’t perfect but if you don’t try something then you don’t know” [WION] “I think there are things that could be done to make it more exciting, to make it more interesting” “But it’s getting quite late now and we’re going to need to have a decision pretty shortly” Did you enjoy the bickering between Toto Wolff and Christian Horner last year?
'Testweek Barcelona achter gesloten deuren omdat Bahrein 'openingsprimeur' wilde' | GPFans News
De Formule 1 gaat voorafgaand aan het 2022-seizoen twee keer testen. Eenmaal in Barcelona en eenmaal in Bahrein. De eerste sessie is echter achter gesloten deuren en wordt ook niet op televisie uitgezonden. Waarom is dat? Naar verluidt heeft Bahrein met een zak geld de 'openingsprimeur' van het nieuwe seizoen geclaimd. Helmut Marko vreest niet voor een overstap van Max Verstappen naar Mercedes, mocht Lewis Hamilton zijn helm aan de wilgen hangen. Volgens de Red Bull Racing-topman heeft het incident op Silverstone afgelopen seizoen een te grote scheur achtergelaten. Montage door: Remco van Putten Volg ons op Spotify & Apple Podcast!

Lewis Hamilton: ¿El mejor piloto de la Fórmula 1?
Tras el final de una increíble temporada 2021 creo que es hora de hacer balance: ¿Es Lewis #Hamilton el mejor piloto de la #F1? Para muchos sí, para otros no… ya sabes que, como siempre, te daremos sobre todo datos… ¡y alguna opinión! Conviértete en miembro de este canal para disfrutar de ventajas: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBG3pvXhocK7_GjeIx2sUeg/join La temporada 2021 de #Fórmula1 ha servido para demostrar que Hamilton está en plena forma, pero la temporada 2021 es ya historia y como tal vamos a tratarla. Porque hemos vivido una temporada histórica, una carrera histórica y una última vuelta histórica. Empate tras 21 GG.PP. La temporada 2021 ha sido la más larga disputada hasta la fecha, casi 7.000 km de GG.PP.. Pese al bache de Mercedes en el primer tercio de la temporada, pese al “empujón indirecto” de Bottas a Verstappen, pese al segundo “empujón” de Lewis a Max en Silverstone, pese al choque en Monza y pese, o más bien gracias, a las decisiones arbitrarias de los árbitros, bonito juego de palabras, los dos rivales llegan al 22º G.P. empatados a puntos. La lección de Max… … y de Lewis. Para los que me seguís en los Podcast de los lunes, esto os va a sonar. ¡Qué gran lección la de Max! Pero este vídeo está dedicado a Hamilton y Hamilton también nos ha dado una lección haciendo una carrera impecable… Muchos me han dicho “¡Que suerte tuvo Max!” y ante esa afirmación solo puedo decir dos cosas: Otros GG.PP. tuvo mala suerte y, sobre todo, ¿de verdad alguien cree que se puede ganar un Mundial sin un poco de suerte Las “frías” estadísticas. Hamilton aspiraba a superar a Schumacher en sus estadísticas para convertirse en el mejor piloto de la historia. Mi primer argumento es que el mejor piloto de la historia, para mí, no es el que tiene mejores estadísticas, pero vamos primero con los números. Las cifras de Schumacher son abrumadoras: 7 Campeonatos del Mundo, 2 subcampeonatos, 3 terceros puestos en el Mundial y 91 victorias en GG.PP. Hamilton tiene los mismos títulos, 7 y los mismos subcampeonatos, pero después su palmarés es ligeramente inferior… salvo en una cosa: ha ganado 103 GG.PP. Habrá quien diga, “es que las temporadas ahora tienen más GG.PP”. Superioridad técnica. Que en muchas de las temporadas en las que Hamilton fue Campeón llevaba el mejor coche, es algo que no puede discutirse. Pero es que a lo largo de la historia las escuderías con más dinero tienen los mejores coches y contratan a los mejores pilotos… así es la vida. Michael fue a Ferrari en 1996 y necesitó 4 años para tener un coche ganador. Lewis fue a Mercedes en 2013 sabiendo el reglamento que llegaba en 2014. Desde 2014 hasta 2021 Mercedes ha sido muy superior y ha ganado todos los Mundiales de constructores y todos los Mundiales de pilotos… menos esté último… Los números no lo son todo. Seguro que estáis conmigo en que los números son muy importantes pero no lo son todo. En todas las listas de mejores pilotos de la historia, las haga quien las haga, aparecen pilotos como Senna, Alonso, Lauda, Fittipaldi o Clark, que están muy lejos de las estadísticas de Hamilton o Schumacher. ¿Qué hace grande a un piloto en la F1? Sus gestas únicas. Como por ejemplo Fangio, el único en ganar Mundiales con tres escuderías distintas. O Lauda, capaz de ganar con dos generaciones de coches… O Senna, que encontró la muerte tratando de demostrarnos y de demostrase que se podía ganar un Mundial de pilotos, aunque no se tuviese el mejor coche… ¿El carisma cuenta? He querido incluir este apartado sobre es carisma porque viendo la última carrera con una persona tibiamente aficionada a las carreras me dijo un comentario que me sorprendió: “Es que Hamilton cae mal y Verstappen tiene carisma”. No sé si es cierto o no, pero algo de verdad tiene, porque si pensamos en los que todos consideramos “grandes” vemos que todos o casi todos tienen carisma… pero hay una excepción que me llama la atención poderosamente: Sebastian Vettel. 4 veces Campeón del Mundo, aún en activo, con el record de ser el Campeón del Mundo más joven de la historia, pero ni siquiera en su país, Alemania, suele aparecer en las listas de los mejores. Conclusión: ¿Hamilton es el mejor? Fiel a mi costumbre os voy a dar dos respuestas: La del periodista y la del aficionado. El periodista diría que, a pesar de su derrota en 2021, Hamilton es el piloto de F1 con mejor palmares… porque sus 103 victorias sobre 288 GG.PP. pesan mucho. Pero el Máximo Sant aficionado ya sabes lo que te va a decir: Llevo media vida tratando de decidirme entre dos “dioses” del olimpo del automovilismo: Juan Manuel Fangio y Ayrton Senna… Honestamente, a día de hoy, no me atrevo a decidirme. Lo siento… sigo en ello. Coche del día Voy a elegir un coche que es un mito y que tiene que ver con la F1. Nos vamos a 1992 cuando se presentó un verdadero sueño: El McLaren F1, un deportivo triplaza con puesto de conducción central diseñado por Gordon Murray.
Hamilton’s Honest Opinion On Having Russell as a Teammate
Lewis Hamilton will have a new teammate in George Russell next year. This has sparked plenty of debate in recent times on how the two will co-exist. Hamilton has now revealed to Autosport how he would like his future teammate to progress alongside him Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkxld70l9IQaaGqLVl7LITAAqdjtAEqwl-s 0:00 - Lewis Hamilton Reveals How He Wants To Influence George Russell At Mercedes 1:26 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Lewis Hamilton Reveals How He Wants To Influence George Russell At Mercedes Lewis began by speaking about mutual respect “I think you saw that George is hugely respectful. He's a super-talented young man and I think there’s a huge amount of respect coming in already. There’s just a nice balance at the moment” He then accepted that Russell will want to win “He will want to be fast. He’ll want to win, and all those things you do when you’re new somewhere. I remember when I was competing against Alonso, of course I wanted to beat him in the first race” He further elaborated why he expects this mentality from George “So I appreciate and expect George to have that mentality, otherwise he’s not a winner, you know? I expect him to have that mentality” He then explained why he wants Russell to succeed “I want to see him to succeed. There comes a point where I don’t continue in this sport. He is my teammate and he will be the next Briton I want to see win a world championship” He signed off by expressing his desire to have a positive influence on George “So I really hope that as we go into battle and I want to win on the track, that I can have a positive influence on how he behaves within the team” Fast Feed McLaren’s Lando Norris is “over it. Of course, when people remind me of it, it’s still very disappointing because it was that first opportunity to win a race in F1” referring to the race in Sochi [BBC] “We made the wrong decision but I wouldn’t say I regret anything I did from my side. I did what I thought was best at the time” “I never feel I can say it’s the team’s fault, but… I could have advised them better but if you just think of it in simple terms of me and Lewis had the same mentality of what we thought was best, and that was to stay on track” Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has stated that “fighting for two world championships is exactly what we worked hard for” [Red Bull Racing] “We’re going into the last few races and it’s very exciting. In previous years we would have bitten your arm off to be in this position at this point in the championship” Retired F1 driver turned pundit Martin Brundle has suggested that “if you look at laps led, races won so far and all of that, and I think [Max Verstappen's] been a little bit more unlucky with the tyre in Baku, the result of the contact in Silverstone, being skittled in Hungary” [Autosport] “Then Lewis got a little bit lucky [like] with his shunt in Imola. But it kind of feels like, season long, Max has had the best season so far, if you look at the numbers” “I think either of them deserve it, but it just feels as if it’s been Max’s to lose, through bad luck or bad judgment or whatever” Retired F1 driver Ralf Schumacher has stated that “there were rumours that Red Bull were planning an engine change. Funnily enough, I just got a phone call: There will be no new engine this weekend” [Sky Germany] “You want to take advantage of the lead you have and not have five places taken away. You may still react after the weekend. That’s the plan at the moment” Reigning Formula E World Champion Nyck de Vries feels that “it’s very good to stay involved with a team like Mercedes and function in it. So definitely [he would like to continue as their reserve driver]” [GP Blog] If Max Verstappen does need a new engine where should he take it?
Will Hamilton Be 2021 F1 Champion?
🔔 Join our Discord to be a part of the F1 Watchalong in Abu Dhabi! https://bit.ly/3lkO5gJ There are 8 points between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton heading into the final 2 races - things are tight, and things are exciting. So let’s have a look at who the momentum is with, and who I think will win. But first, let us know in the comments who you think will take the driver’s championship - and why. Both Hamilton and Verstappen are driving incredibly well. The stats speak for themselves, 12 times this year they’ve been 1-2. They’ve both destroyed their teammates - Verstappen’s 9 wins to Perez’s 1. Hamilton’s 6 wins to Bottas’ 1. In fact, the times they’ve not been 1-2, either or both had retired, had penalties or there’s been something unusual going on. In Monaco Hamilton was a bit steady. Azerbaijan, Verstappen got a puncture. In Austria, Hamilton had some floor damage. At Silverstone they both absolutely sent it - and we all know what happened. Hungary, Max was taken out by Bottas, AND Lewis was on inters all by himself (lol). Spa wasn’t really a race. At Monza, Verstappen absolutely sent it again - and tried to squash Hamilton. And at Turkey, Hamilton had a 10 place grid penalty. We’ve seen some very hard racing this season between the two. I think this goes down as a classic year - no matter who’s side you sit on.

Motorstrafe für Hamilton? Oder: 3. Sprint, 3. Crash?
Drittes und letztes Formel 1 Sprintrennen 2021! Kracht es zum 3. Mal zwischen Max Verstappen und Lewis Hamilton? An den ersten beiden Sprint-Rennwochenenden in dieser Saison in Silverstone und Monza kam es im Grand Prix jeweils zu einem spektakulären Unfall zwischen den beiden Titelrivalen. Laufen wir in Sao Paulo erneut Gefahr für einen Crash? Am Donnerstag bestand dafür keine Gefahr: Einige Autos und Teamfracht fehlten noch! Das schlechte Wetter bereitete den Formel 1 Teams Kopfzerbrechen... In Mexiko war Red Bull im Rennen uneinholbar, sind sie auch in Interlagos wieder Top-Favorit auf den Sieg? Oder kann Mercedes beim Großen Preis von Brasilien zurückschlagen? Aber selbst wenn, Lewis Hamilton könnte erneut eine Strafe drohen - für einen neuerlichen Motorwechsel. Aufregung gibt es auch bei Sebastian Vettels Aston Martin Team: Die Gerüchte um seinen Teamchef Otmar Szafnauer werden immer lauter, ist er bald nicht mehr in der Verantwortung und wird ersetzt?

Helmut Marko Alleges “Something Weird” At Mercedes
Mercedes had a pretty good weekend in Turkey despite the Istanbul Park being touted as one of those tracks that would favor Red Bull. Mercedes have been able to either match or outpace Red Bull in the last few races and Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has a theory regarding this as he has now explained to Sport 1 Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgxCD8XFFVj7cVrcgIV4AaABCQ 0:00 - Helmut Marko Alleges Something Weird At Mercedes 1:17 - Fast Feed I'm your host Tyler and first up on Formula World: Helmut Marko Alleges Something Weird At Mercedes Marko began by pointing out how Hamilton had the pace to even win the Turkish GP “Had he got past there faster, he might even have won the race. Because if he had made it behind Bottas, there would have been a change of place for sure” Red Bull had recently appealed to the FIA regarding a supposed trick Mercedes were using in their power unit. Even though the appeal was dismissed Marko feels that something unusual has been happening “I don't think Mercedes did anything illegal. But something has been weird since Silverstone. So, it is now up to us to research why they are suddenly so fast” He summed up his words by stating that if they cannot figure out why Mercedes are so fast now, Red Bull could be in trouble “Is it just the engine or something else? We now have to work day and night to uncover its secret and then counter it. As quickly as possible. It is up to us. If the differences in performance remains the same as in Istanbul, we will have a problem” Fast Feed Alpine’s executive director Marcin Budkowski thinks that they “could and should have put both cars into Q3, if not for Esteban’s traffic issues in Q3 [in Turkey]” [Racer] “In these conditions we seem to have performed reasonably well. It’s a circuit that would suit us. I think Austin should as well”, he added “It’s frustrating to qualify so well and to have such a good pace on Friday and Saturday and only end up with one point and lose ground to our competitors”, he concluded Formula 2 championship leader Oscar Piastri feels that his “chances of being in F1 next year are extremely low, I think basically none” [Oscar Piastri Website] “I know [Guanyu] Zhou has been very heavily linked to that seat [at Alfa Roneo] and also [Antonio] Giovinazzi is there at the moment”, he expanded “I don’t think I’m going to be in that seat at all, I think it is the only opportunity for next year. I’d be happily surprised if it was me in that seat for next year” FIA race director Michael Masi feels that “every driver is entitled to their views and comments, either internally or to the media” referring to Alpine’s Fernando Alonso alleging that the stewards are biased towards certain drivers based on nationality [Motorsport] “The rules are applied equally for everyone. We judge each and every incident, looking at the actual incident and what occurs”, he added “We are very fortunate that we have a very good group of stewards throughout the year. And no, I can tell you that does not place any additional pressure whatsoever on them”, he reiterated Alpine’s Fernando Alonso is of the opinion that George Russell and Max Verstappen “are the two drivers who are special, who make the difference and who get more [than] the actual performance of their cars” [F1 Insider] “The rest of the drivers only get the results that match the performance of their cars”, he elaborated “Lewis and Max are doing great in their teams. So, there's no clear answer to [who has the advantage]”, he summed up Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff had “no problem at all with tough conversations on the radio” with Hamilton in Turkey [Mirror] Lewis Hamilton, meanwhile, added that “don't ever expect me to be all polite and calm on the radio when I'm racing” “We are all very passionate and in the heat of the moment that passion can come out, as it does for all drivers”, he expanded "My heart and spirit are out there on the track, it's the fire in me that's got me this far but any angst is quickly forgotten and we talked it through, already looking ahead to the next race” Did Lewis Hamilton go overboard with his radio messages in Turkey?
Darum bleibt Vettel in der Formel 1! Steigt Volkswagen ein?
Es ist offiziell: Sebastian Vettel fährt auch in der Saison 2022 in der Formel 1! Aston Martin verkündete endlich seine Fahrerpaarung mit Vettel und Lance Stroll. Warum hat es so lange gedauert? Dachte Vettel wirklich über ein Karriereende nach? Apropos Aston Martin: Das Team von Lawrence Stroll rüstet gewaltig auf. Diese Woche legten die Grünen den Grundstein für ihre neue Mega-Fabrik in Silverstone. Sind sie auf dem Weg zu einem Top-Team? Weitere News aus der Königsklasse des Motorsports: Im nächsten Jahr sollen Nachwuchsfahrer aller Teams in bestimmten Freien Trainings zum Einsatz kommen. So sollen ihnen mehr Möglichkeiten geboten werden, um Erfahrung in der F1 zu sammeln. Und dann gibt's mal wieder Neues vom Motorenreglement für die Saison 2026: Nach einem Meeting der Motorenhersteller könnte die MGU-H aus der Formel 1 verschwinden. Toto Wolff mahnt jedoch: Nur dann, wenn dadurch Volkswagen mit seinen Marken Audi und/oder Porsche in die F1 einsteigen sollte!
