Pretty unusual schedule this year. The 10th of February is a full month before pre-season testing concludes. I wonder how the teams will play it, strategically speaking?

I expect to be frustrated by a load of glorified livery launches in the run-up to testing. I wonder how late teams can wait before revealing their innovative technical ideas.

The launches are primarily sponsorship-driven events, I’m expecting everyone to show off a version of the FIA show car but in their ‘correct’ 2022 livery.

No-one is going to show their hand until the first test, and even then we might be looking at engineering mule cars rather than the finished article. By the second test, we might have an idea of what they will actually look like at the first race.

They'd be a good duo.

Mr Krack rarely seen, handling the back office stuff.

Mr Hunt out the front, being the public face of the outfit.

75th anniversary of Ferrari of course. But didn't they have a 70th anniversary last year or the year before?

The Race podcast this week (excellent as always) mentioned that Williams are behind in getting the car ready for the 1st test. I'm really, really hoping this is not the case.
