Wonder how long they’re going to let the tire mishaps slide. Tow truck drivers are going to see as many laps as the bottom of the field if we keep these numbers up.
Elton Sawyer from NASCAR said they will be doing something about it. He hasn’t said what though? I think they are in the track tomorrow so he better get his butt in motion asap.

Haas have torn up Nikita Mazepin's contract and confirmed that the Russian racer will not take part in the 2022 Formula 1 season.

The team's decision comes amid the invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions levied upon Russian sportspeople as a result.

Shortly after war broke out, Haas removed all traces of the Russian flag from its livery during Barcelona testing along with their Uralkali title sponsor.

The Russian fertiliser firm is co-owned by Dmitry Mazepin – a billionaire with ties to Vladimir Putin and father of the 22-year-old racer.


Mazepin's future as a driver was placed into further doubt after Motorsport UK announced that Russian competitors would not be allowed to race in UK events.

That move effectively banned him from the British Grand Prix.

The tires are not holding up.
As for the cars, I find it very entertaining watching the drivers and pit crews struggling trying to learn these cars and how to deal with them.
