Formula 1: 3 teams that could win the development war (Beyond the Flag)

Restricted by the $140 million cost cap, who will best manage their assets and deliver the most impactful upgrades throughout the 2022 Formula 1 season?

The inherent advantage to Haas in this new era is easy to see, but not because of their own experience. In the final season before the implementation of the cost cap, they were operating under a budget of just $80 million, compared to the likes of Mercedes with a budget of $450 million. Historically a low performer entering new regulatory eras, Ferrari have finally gotten it right with a package that could give Charles Leclerc his first genuine run at a world championship. This practice was one of the key motivators in implementing the cost cap that currently resides at $140 million for each team. Having to work around a lacking Mercedes power unit, where can the iconic British manufacturer make significant gains? With exceeding financial resources compared to competitors on the grid, powerhouse manufacturers were formerly able to throw money at their problems and eventually discover incremental pace improvements.

Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix: All Irish viewers need to know from ... (Irish Mirror)

Located three kilometres south of central Melbourne, the Albert Park circuit has hosted many memorable races since its inaugural Grand Prix back in 1996.

Max Verstappen is currently in third with 25 points and is just ahead of the struggling Mercedes men. According to the bookies, Max Verstappen is the favourite to win in Australia on the back of his Saudi Arabian triumph. Track temperature is a critical parameter in Formula 1 tyre performance due to the fact that the asphalt of a Grand Prix circuit soaks up heat from the sun, so it can be much warmer than the air temperature - by 10°C or more. Across the weekend, air temperatures are due to range from 23°C to 26°C, and although this sounds pleasant for those in attendance, it will be an entirely different story for the cars on the grid. Meanwhile, Max Verstappen ran in the top three at Albert Park for the first time in 2019, and despite his troubling pace in the RB15, he landed the final step on the podium - marking Honda’s first since 2008. The main straight and pit lane were also changed, with the pit lane wall moved two metres closer to the track so that the edge of the circuit sits directly next to the wall. The Finnish driver crossed the line 20.886s ahead of the pack, with Hamilton in second. Turns 9 and 10 were completely redesigned - so where they used to form a right-left chicane with a heavy braking zone in the run-up, there is now a much faster right-left combination, according to officials. The track has undergone major changes ahead of the 2022 Grand Prix, including full resurfacing, modified corners and a new DRS zone with race officials labelling it a much improved, more aggressive track with better overtaking opportunities and the potential for speeds of up to 330km/h. During the nearly three-year hiatus, updates were made to the Albert Park Circuit - with vital input from the drivers - including an entire resurfacing, amended corners, and a new DRS Zone - all in a bid to promote faster racing. These changes will add all the more excitement to the weekend ahead as the drivers continue to settle into their new machinery with the added task of coming to terms with an updated track. Formula 1 has touched down in Melbourne this week to race for the first time in nearly three years at the Australian Grand Prix.

F1 bosses step in, force late Aus GP change (NEWS.com.au)

Daniel Ricciardo was partly responsible for a major change at Albert Park but F1 bosses had other ideas, stepping in before qualifying. 3 min read.

“The changes are pretty good, we have to see how they are,” Steiner said. “The surface is very nice. They did a good job with that.” I don’t know how they’re going to get two cars there.” “Turn 11, which used to be 13, I don’t know why they changed it. 2022 is very different to 2019, four DRS zones is too much I think but I don’t want to see an artificial race.

There could be more to come, too, with Sporting Director Alan Permane saying they have work to do in extracting the most from the soft tyre on the first timed lap in qualifying. The race pace looks less good, as they drop down to fifth. Over one lap, they appear to have the sixth fastest car, but had Lando Norris hooked up all of his best sectors, he would have been sixth quickest of all. There’s work to do, though, with both drivers chasing more comfort in the car, Sainz admitting they are suffering from porpoising. The struggles of Barcelona pre-season running seem a world away for Alpine right now. Here are five things we learned at a revamped Albert Park in Melbourne.
