That fan boost thing is stupid

I don't follow FE and had no idea what 'fan boost' was, so I googled it. You are ****ting me. That cannot be real.

I deduce that fan boost is an online poll and the driver who gets the most votes gets a power boost?

Quote:
The FanBoost is a concept introduced by the FIA in the Formula E Championship to give the three "most popular" drivers a temporary boost in power in each ePrix.[1] Fans vote for their favourite driver through the FIA's website (or official accounts on social media), to give three drivers a boost in power totalling 100 kJ worth of energy in the second half of the race.[2]

That's dumb. Why would a popularity contest be needed?

Any of you long time fans know who is the guy in this photo with Danny Ric? My son's best friend got this autographed photo for Christmas and was curious. This pic was taken after Danny won the 2009 British F3 race at Silverstone.

Draw attention/interest to drivers and therefore drive viewers to watch the races. Or at least that is my guess.

Lots of rumors about Jean Todt becoming a super advisor to Ferrari, kind of what Lauda was to Mercedes. Also rumored, and I think Mattia Binotto said this, but two teams found some kind of loophole in the regulations for 2022 and could be a major advantage

Merc back to silver in 2022

BILD reports that Mercedes are definitely going back to their silver livery for 2022.

"What has been a rumour in the paddock for some time now, was decided by the bosses in Abu Dhabi."

So George's first F1 season as a Mercedes driver will be in silver!https://t.co/pegjExY7sq pic.twitter.com/e857QIw80H

Guess Ham is giving up on the BLM. I think by the end of the year only McLaren had "End Racism" somewhere on their cars still.

So K Mag got a book, not out in english yet (just like Grosjean's), but there's a Twitter thread with basically bits of info from it. Many interesting details from his career in F1. This one though

Kevin Magnussen says he didn’t see the point in replacing George Russell at Williams, to have Nicholas Latifi as a teammate. “Race for the grid’s slowest team against the grid’s slowest driver? I would have to beat Latifi with 3 seconds per lap for anyone to pay attention.”

I don't think K Mag or Grosjean have much left. I would have rather seen Hulk come back.

Hulk already spent 9 or 10 years in F1 and accomplished nothing. Maybe 1 year he did better than Checo but that's about it.

True, but if we are talking Hulk to Williams (as it was implied that K Mag didn't want to go there) Hulk would be far more valuable to a team trying to get straightened out and on the rise.

The video above is Steve Nichols' side of the story on the design of the MP4/4. The video below is a longer version that adds more stories of his time on different teams and with various drivers.

Rewatching 2021 Abu Dhabi and thought this was a cute observation.
