Some perspective of those lap times.

• A full race distance at Barcelona is 66 laps.
• The first preseason test session in 2014, all teams combined only covered 93 laps. Today, 1104.
• VER did over two race distances.

In totally surprising news...

While all drivers so far questioned have stated they would not drive in the Russian GP, Nikita Marzapin has stated he has no problems doing so, and he is a supporter of sports without politics...

Sports without politics...how quaint and naïve of him...

I don't think Mazespin has a choice. He has to be pro Russia or else he and his family are going to be "cured of Covid" the Russian way.

To be fair… the official Uralkali logo is red and green. The Russian flag colored logo is only on the F1 car.

Unfortunately if Mazepin isn't in the car, then the team doesn't exist.

I’m thinking it could actually align well with Andretti’s desire to get into the sport, they’re a well funded and credible organization that has a far better history of attracting and retaining sponsors than Haas has (Rich energy, Russian kid).

I hope that's the case. I'd hate to see a team disappear off the grid.

Don't forget that Haas could self-fund the team... Gene just doesn't want to.

Russian GP is off, potentially replaced with Turkey again which would be a good result as that track is awesome.

It almost looks like F1 is doing it for moral reasons which would be an unusual new precedent. But realistically, the sponsor who pays for the Russian GP is VTB bank and they just had their assets frozen so it’s probably more related to non payment.

Sochi kind of sucked so if they go I wouldn't be too sad.
