Formula 1 2022

Not the biggest fan of Sochi either. And more chance of the Russian's attending RIAT than F1 sorting out its own politics

Haven't you heard, the new name is Russian International Air Tattoo (=RIAT)

I'm hoping this season has more in the way of competing teams. The last hybrid era was one of the most boring until last season, when Mercedes finally had some competition from Red Bull.

I'd like to see more teams able to take on Mercedes, and much more of Toto Wolf banging desks and completely losing his ****, as that's probably the most entertaining thing in F1 right now!

[James Cutting]

Second that!

Max and Seb already stating their opinion on Russia and pulling out the race. Seems F1 Tickets website has pulled sale for Russia, and instead put in Turkey.

Some people clearly have short memories...

And yes, good on Vettel and verstappen for expressing the options they have done. If by some freak of events F1 does rock up in russia come in September, I hope he follows through on his boycott. He'll then be a hero to me.

Who Vettel or Verstappen? Or both?

[Red-Eye-Knight]

Russia should have the GP and any sporting event taken away from them after today's actions in Ukraine.

Vettel, all mad max has done is state russia should not hold the race. But I credit him for that.

(Then remove said credit for his comments that mental masi's removal was unfair)

[STN RAMP RAT]

The Russian GP has been cancelled.

[paddyboy]

So it ruddy well should be

Forever

Turkey tickets were an admin error apparently but they have said they will replace Sochi, plenty of options.

[seven]

Either Turkey or Portugal would get my vote..

[Red-Eye-Knight]

I heard Qatar might replace Sochi

[seven]

I was under the impression Qatar is unable to host a race due to the World Cup, but stranger things have happened...

[Red-Eye-Knight]

Aww yeah that might be right I forgot about the World Cup there later this year, There is so much going on in the world right now hard to keep up sometimes.

Brands hatch for me, don't give me any nonsense about it not being a Grade a circuit either. If they can still race at Monaco they can race anywhere

[raptor9]

Wouldn't that be lovely, but dream on I'm afraid. Brilliant memories of Brands, of course. My wife Terri and I were at the bottom of Paddock when the rebellion was taking place after the first lap collision 1976???.'We want Hunt, We want Hunt' Went to every Brands G.P. Good old days!!.

Russian and Belarusian drivers can compete as neutrals.... That seems pretty spineless to me and doesn't bode well for applying the new rules that have been brought in this year...

I agree, it still allows these millionaire drivers to feed western money into their home countries - why hold them to a different standard.
