From pointless for a whole campaign to fifth place in the 2022 Formula 1 season opener. Haas has come a long way in a short time, so what can it achieve?

Although the 2022 Formula 1 season is destined to be forever linked to the word ‘porpoising’, this is not a new phenomenon. Michael Schumacher’s son has served his apprenticeship with a Haas team that brought up the rear of the Formula 1 field in 2021. From pointless for a whole campaign to fifth place in the 2022 Formula 1 season opener.

The sport introduced a budget cap at the start of the 2021 season, which has been slightly lowered for 2022 to limit teams to spending $140m (£119m) on their ...

"Obviously we have a budget cap now, which pushes the model towards earnings for all the teams. So it will hurt all the junior categories as well and I don't think you want that." So for me, it's completely wrong."

Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen says a driver salary cap would be “completely wrong” and would also “hurt all the junior categories”.

“But when the sport is booming – you guys in Miami, you saw the amount of events, the amount of things we were doing, how busy we’ve been recently as racing drivers, and we just keep hearing that the championship is going to grow to 25 races… “More than anything, is it the right thing to do nowadays?” Sainz said. and now when the sport is booming you want to cap us? “It’s difficult enough to get into Formula 1 at all. “It’s still all a bit vague,” he said. “If you tell me Formula 1 is in crisis because of COVID and the sport is going in a bad direction, the drivers are earning too much for what the sport is generating, I would tell you maybe there’s a chance or a point where we can all agree that maybe there is something that can be done.

Pierre Gasly and Carlos Sainz agree with Bottas. Sainz adds that he could understand a salary cap if Formula 1 were in crisis. Nowadays in Formula 1 there is more and more talk about a possible salary cap for the drivers. According to the Finn, it is illogical that drivers' salaries have to go down, while Formula 1 as a whole is aiming upwards.

Reigning F1 world champion Max Verstappen says the possible introduction of a driver salary cap would be “completely wrong” because drivers risk their.

the topic would disappear so I will leave it to you.” “Also, you have to remember that this sport has gone from $4-6bn to a $14bn business - it’s consistently growing, the teams are growing more money than ever before and we are a huge part of that. “But when the sport is booming – you guys in Miami, you saw the amount of events, the amount of things we were doing, how busy we’ve been recently as racing drivers, and we just keep hearing that the championship is going to grow to 25 races… Obviously, we have a budget cap now which pushes the model towards earnings towards all of the teams. “More than anything, is it the right thing to do nowadays?” Sainz explained. “I think what he’s said is correct, especially the investment part into young drivers.

Talk of a new salary cap for drivers in the future has not gone down well with the world champion, who cited concerns about how it would affect the junior ...

"It's difficult enough to get into F1 at all, so as soon as you have a backer or investment as a driver, they obviously want their money back at some point. I think it's going to limit that a lot because they'll never get their return in money and if you get a cap, so it will hurt all the junior categories as well and I don't think you want that." If F1 bosses were to press ahead with plans to introduce a salary cap, drivers would find their earning potential limited.

Max Verstappen says it would be "completely wrong" to cap Formula 1 drivers' salaries at a time when the sport's popularity is growing.

So it will hurt all the junior categories as well and I don’t think you would want that.” “It’s completely wrong because I think at the moment F1 is becoming more and more popular and everyone is making more and more money, including the teams and everyone is benefiting,” he said. “So why [should] the drivers – with their IP rights and everything – be capped, who actually bring the show and put their lives at risk?

Max Verstappen insists the cap being proposed for F1 drivers' salaries is completely wrong, and might affect drivers in junior categories.

But we have to find something like this because it’s important for the sport,” he said. So I think that’s one of the main points,” the Briton concluded. So, there are many, many complexities, but I think we need to go beyond that,” Horner explained. “So why would the drivers with their IP rights and everything be capped, [the people] who actually bring the show and put their lives at risk? “It’s difficult enough to get into F1 at all. I think no one really knows where it’s going to go.

The Azerbaijan Grand Prix offers a unique challenge to teams and drivers, but the wrong aerodynamic setup can mean the difference between finishing first or ...

In 2021, Red Bull ran Max Verstappen and race-winner Sergio Perez's cars with a high-downforce setup, and both drivers had the performance advantage in the race. The third sector is a low-downforce one, meaning that the less resistance an F1 car has, the faster it can go and the closer it can get to the ultimate top speed by the time it hits the brakes before Turn 1. This means that the forces pressing the car to the ground are much more significant, allowing for extra speed to be carried. Should a team opt for a low-downforce setup, they should, theoretically, be strong in qualifying. But in the race, the driver is vulnerable to increased wear on the tyres because the F1 car will be prone to sliding. Starting at Turn 16, through the small kinks that are Turns 17 to 20, is a 2km straight that allows cars to reach speeds of up to 350km/h.

Williams team mate Nicholas Latifi’s weekend got off to a frustrating start as he lost precious track time when his car “just died” with just seven laps on the board.

Red Bull’s Sergio Perez continued his rich vein of form as he topped the timesheets in opening practice for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc slotting into second.

Red Bull Formula 1 driver Sergio Perez led the way in the opening practice session of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix at the Baku street circuit.

AlphaTauri-Red Bull Red Bull Neither Schumacher, nor Latifi would return for the rest of the session. AlphaTauri-Red Bull Track action was briefly interrupted by a virtual safety car within the first 10 minutes already, as Mick Schumacher pulled over to the side of the track, his Haas seen leaking copious amounts of water. Red Bull George Russell was a fair way back from Hamilton for much of the session but managed a late charge to place within half a tenth of his decorated team-mate – albeit with the pair split by the AlphaTauri of Yuki Tsunoda. Soon after the Williams was cleared away, Max Verstappen and team-mate Perez both posted medium-tyre laptime improvements to establish a Red Bull 1-2 ahead of the hard-shod Ferrari of Charles Leclerc. Leclerc did manage to ultimately split the two Red Bulls, lapping just over a tenth off Perez, while Ferrari team-mate Carlos Sainz propped up the top four, half a second off the pace. > Ferrari bouncing, Red Bull DRS flap wobbling Red Bull Formula 1 driver Sergio Perez led the way in the opening practice session of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix at the Baku street circuit.

He gained massively in the first sector and cut it fine with the Turn 15 outside wall to nail a 1m45.476s. But then Perez came to the fore with a third of FP1 to go. Yet again it was Verstappen who ran fastest when the track conditions cleared, the Dutch racer improving to a 1m46.932s to pip Leclerc by nigh on seven hundredths of a second. Like Schumacher, the Canadian was forced to sit out the remainder of the hour. Verstappen was able to improve after 12 minutes, bringing the benchmark down to 1m48.390s with what were at the time, the fastest first and second sector of the day. The VSC was called into play yet again after only a quarter of an hour, this time for five minutes to attend to Nicholas Latifi stopping with a power failure at Turn 5.
