F1 post 2022 season - pre 2023 season

So who is left Alpine? Or did they launch already.

I must say at least Merc, Ferrari, Alfa well everyone bar well Red Bill have shown the actual cars, should be a rule change to force it rather than these silly none releases that are a waste of time.

Just over a week to the test isn’t it, can’t wait should be fun to see how they evolve.

Fred has said there will be no team orders in the '23 campaign, truly an executive decision he would say and has been welcomed by Charlie.

I think Ferrari is one of the teams were both drivers can be equally matched and the first few races have to decide which driver gets the upper hand and takes the 'role' of first driver.
Last year Leclerc was the better driver, but the year before Sainz was arguably better (certainly the last 3rd of the season).
So I think Fred makes the right decision. I also think both Leclerc and Sainz race against eachother with mutual respect. That's something we don't always see in teams where both drivers are equally matched.

Somewhat still on topic but watched this recently. Highly recommend as it is really good look at the 1971 Monaco Grand Prix and Sir Jackie Stewart!
