Brawn is an epic series - Keanu should do more
I’m hooked on the brawn series, I knew he was into bikes (not my thing) but he really shows himself as a fan/expert in this show
imagine how amazing it would be for Keanu to do a whole series of old F1 stories,
I would pay hard cash to see the same style series about the Colin Chapman era, imagine Gordon Murray & Bernie saying their pieces with those epic scenes, that’s the F1 I grew up watching

Black T-cam vs Yellow T-cam: The 2023 results are in!
For some, the 2023 Formula 1 season was a boring one, but for the T-cam championship, it was an enthralling finish to a spectacular finish. And was all decided in the final few laps!
Here are the results from Abu Dhabi:
|Black T-Cam|Pts|Pts|Yellow T-Cam|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|Verstappen|26|12|Perez|
|Leclerc|18|0|Sainz|
|Russell|15|2|Hamilton|
|Ocon|0|0|Gasly|
|Piastri|8|10|Norris|
|Bottas|0|0|Zhou|
|Stroll|1|6|Alonso|
|Magnussen|0|0|Hulkenberg|
|Albon|0|0|Sargeant|
|Ricciardo|0|4|Tsunoda|
|Black Total|68|34|Yellow Total|
The black T-cam had a double-score on Yellow T-cam, outscoring it by 34 points. But what impact does that have on the final standings though? These are the final standings (drum-roll please):
|Black T-Cam|Pts|Pts|Yellow T-Cam|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|Verstappen|575|285|Perez|
|Leclerc|206|200|Sainz|
|Russell|175|234|Hamilton|
|Ocon|58|62|Gasly|
|Piastri|97|205|Norris|
|Bottas|10|6|Zhou|
|Stroll|74|206|Alonso|
|Magnussen|3|9|Hulkenberg|
|Albon|27|1|Sargeant|
|Ricciardo/Lawson/DeVries|8|17|Tsunoda|
|Black Total|1233|1225|Yellow Total|
By a mere eight points, black prevails, in a spectacular finale that saw them finish 1-2-3 with Verstappen, Leclerc and Russell! It could have been even tighter had Sergio Perez not received a penalty for clashing with his yellow teammate Lando Norris, as it would have only been two points in it (assuming Leclerc did not let him through of course, as he would not have betrayed his black teammates).
In total, six yellow T-cam drivers were able to beat their teammates, leaving them something to be proud of. But only one champion can be crowned and that is the black squad. A lot would say that Max Verstappen was the most valuable member of the team, scoring almost half of its points, but when the battle comes down to such margins, it comes down to all the drivers that contributed towards the big goal!
Congrats to the black squad and happy offseason to everyone at r/formula1!

If you could create or add one rule to F1 for next year what would it be?
Reverse grids? 11 teams? More sprints?
Personally i would add points down to 15th place. If you take away the Red Bulls, Ferraris, Mercedes and McLarens that leaves 12 other cars and only 2 of those are going to score points if the big hitters all finish. Make the points go down to 15th place and then they all have more to race for.
Better entertainment for viewers, increased competition for drivers, win win.

What exactly happened to Alfa Romeo?
I'm a noob and don't fully understand what happens now that Alfa Romeo has exited F1. What happens to the actual team & drivers? Is it just a change in team name to something else next year while the management, staff, and drivers all stay the same? Or is it actually a whole new team but just the drivers stay? Or something in between? I'm confused.

2 seasons in, thoughts on the 2022 technical regulations?
Just wanted to get the community's thoughts on how the regulations have influenced the last 2 years.
I think they've done well to promote closer racing. Cars are able to follow much better and for longer, multiple laps within 1-2 seconds of the car in front. The field spread is fantastic, it's tiny and there were multiple Q1's this year with all cars within 1s of each other. Over 1 lap, the cars are probably closer than ever before. There isn't a full-blown backmarker, Haas this season scored the most points of any last-placed car ever IIRC.
However, it must be said that no one's gotten close to RB, and their advantage at the head of the field has only increased this season. Ferrari and Mercedes started out this year with flawed concepts, which seems to show that it's easy to get these rules quite wrong. The jumps AM and McLaren made show that it's easy to go from a bad car to a good/very good one, but making the final jump towards a great one like the RB19 is extremely difficult. The cost cap has also limited how much money teams are throwing at their problems and makes it much more difficult to catch Red Bull.
More on the cars: They're just too big in every possible dimension. So are the tyres. The last two Monaco GPs have not been snoozefests due to the weather, but it will be immensely boring in a dry race. They look slow in race starts, not at all nimble, particularly compared to the previous generation. I'm hoping the 2026 regulations actually ensure smaller and lighter cars (which was originally an aim of the 2022 regulations!)

Does Haas have a plan?
I'm beating a dead horse here, but as they currently stand, we're looking a team that punted 2022 to invest in 2023 only to finish last on WCC. They have two veteran drivers under contract that were not pulled from the grid, but both of whom were not driving in F1. There have been no rumors of major shakeup in management or operations, and they look to just continue on the same path as 2023.
They're the least exciting team on the grid, I don't think there's any disagreement there. So, I'm scratching my head trying to think what their plan is, because business as usual has yielded zero progress.
Are Gene Haas and team actually taking in profit with this perennial backmarker? How are they still on the grid in this form? I expect some personnel change, at least.
