2022 - Race 21 Brazil
Can Max get No. 15?
Is Ferrari sandbagging to let Mercedes pass them by so they get more wind tunnel time?

I think it's quite possible Max can get #15 if he had a good weekend. Ferrari might be able to challenge if they have their act together, but lately they haven't. Merc still seem to be fighting with the higher speed extended full throttle stuff, so unless they can make that up with handling I doubt they will have much of a shot really. Great progress from Merc lately, but it's the combination of poor Ferrari performance that made them look good in Mexico I think.
As for Ferrari sandbagging, though it seems a strange idea with the new budget cap regs it might make sense at times. The big teams already have the funds for the season covered really, so any loss of money from the season end payouts lessens that blow. If the feel the wind tunnel and CFD time is worth it then it might be a possibility.

Watch to see where Ricciardo ends up. Rumors have been he was going to Mercedes. But now there is a rumor he might be going to RBR.
If this is true, then there may be legs to the rumor that Alpha Tauri will be sold to Andretti. Andretti wants a Ricciardo and Haerta team.

Not talking about next year. Andretti is saying he is shooting for entry into F1 in 2024.
But Marko did come out this week to try and shoot down the sale rumors
AlphaTauri, may be sold. This is believed to have been said by new CEO Oliver Mintzlaff;
however, close friend of Mateschitz, Dr Helmut Marko, who is a senior Red Bull advisor, revealed to AMuS that AlphaTauri are not for sale and that the current target is to get them towards the front. “The group is doing well,” Marko told Auto Motor und Sport.Last edited by F1nKS; 11th November 2022 at 03:01.
