F1 Trivia rule (files.catbox.moe)
 
Alpine is facing more trouble, as F1 technical director Harman and head of aerodynamics de Beer have resigned. in c/formula1@lemmy.world

Both have handed in resignations even before testing, but are still working for the team?

Why not? It's not like they could learn any valuable secrets that could help the competition.

Ilmor approached by multiple manufacturers for 2026 engines (feddit.de)
 

German outlet Auto Motor und Sport conducted an interview with Mario Illien himself. Relative late in part 2 of the interview he was asked about involvement with the 2026 engines and he replied that there were multiple inquiries but nothing advanced enough to talk in detail.

In a bit of fun speculation I'd say there are three somewhat likely candidates:

  • Red Bull – they approached Ilmor to improve the Renault engine when they were Renault's customer
  • Honda – they sold their UK operations to Red Bull and already worked with Honda on the last-gen IndyCar engine
  • Cadillac/GM – The current Chevrolet Indy V6 has been co-developed by Ilmor.

So are they still running Alfa equipment until Audi takes over?

There is no Alfa Romeo equipment and there hasn't been in decades. You got fooled by a mere branding deal with Sauber.

Even worse than Racing Bulls.

Seems like Racing Bulls isn't a thing:

I like Alfa as a car manufacturer, sad to see them leave.

So sad to see the Alfa Romeo PR department leave. They contributed so much...

I guess with war criminals Aramco and Petronas being title sponsors for other teams, it could have been worse.

It's not but the rules say nothing against occasional posts about other forms of motor racing either.

AMuS: "The whole thing is actually no longer an Andretti gig at all, it's a factory operation by GM" in c/formula1@lemmy.world
[–] supermarkus@feddit.de 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Yep that’s all they do because it’s money over sport.

But since it's a business, antitrust laws apply. There are suggestions that unfairly closing off market entry, Andretti may have a good case at its hand, now that his team cleared the FIA sporting rules. Previously Michael Schmidt also referred to a EU court case in that area but didn't specify which exactly he means. I found one from 2008 about some motorcycling competition in Greece but don't enough of the legalese to confidently say that this is it.

AMuS: "The whole thing is actually no longer an Andretti gig at all, it's a factory operation by GM" (youtu.be)
 

Michael Schmidt from Auto, Motor und Sport spoke with Michael Andretti:

"The whole thing is actually no longer an Andretti gig at all, it's a factory operation by GM. And in fact, all the people being recruited, even in the chassis area, are now already being recruited by General Motors and no longer by Andretti."

Even with smaller cars drivers haven’t seen the lines under their tire since at least the mid 90’s anyway.

F1 drivers say in interviews that especially with the 2022 regulation cars (bigger wheels, that flap on top of them) the lines are hard to see. They can actually compare to 2021 cars.

Rumors of Audi backtracking not true, "Audi past the point of no return" (youtu.be)
 

Michael Schmidt from AMS talked to Andreas Seidl. He said investments ongoing. Schmidt thinks that the source of those rumors may be some in the Audi hierarchy who may not like the move but the ball is rolling, "Audi past the point of no return" and can't backtrack now.

To get the ball rolling, Andretti had already signed a preliminary contract with Renault years ago. But that expired in March 2023. And at the moment, the French are showing no great desire to resume negotiations on a continuation. Renault, alias Alpine, does not want to get caught in the crossfire of a power struggle between the FIA and FOM.

They claim that they have two different sources for that.
