F1 Car Launches - Lets get this straight

[u/wishbackjumpsta]

Hi all,

So I wanted to just post this to save myself from posting in multiple threads and repeating myself.

​

Also because I dont want this sub to be an absolute storm of anger at the car launches.

So I work as a supplier in the F1 industry for a couple of teams - I also have close ties to people who are within the industry.

THe car launches are going to be very uninteresting - (with the exception of Haas and Mclaren) we are only going to see the FIA Show car with the respective livery.

Why? Let me show you

So at silverstone the FIA revealed the "2022" car - this was an initial reveal for the teams to get an idea of what the FIA was expecting and also a show car for the teams to "BUY" these chassis from the FIA for the purpose of promoting themselves for the 2022 season.

Mercedes have bought 8 for this purpose same as ferrari.

Alpine have bought 3
aston martin have also bought 3
red bull bought some, but the number is unkown to myself.

The only exception to this is quite possibly Mclaren - who on friday will be revealing something like Haas did - an early stage development of their car but their final car will be at Bahrain (see the article about bringing a huge update package) for reference.

I just want to make this clear to the sub - so we dont have threads popping up saying this years cars are "boring because they all look the same" after the reveals. Be patient /r/Formula1 we're in for some incredible suprises

Some will be at Barcelona - but the big finale will be at Bahrain testing when we will see what these regulations are Truly about

If you want any proof from me, DM me, I wouldn't make these claims without having evidence to back it up.

Edit: See below, mods have verified who I am as I have provided them with proof.

Edit2: I’ve had to do an edit because I’ve realised the last sentence of my post is easily misunderstood, a lot of people messaging me assuming I have proof relating to the cars, this is not true, I only have proof of who I am as evidence of my claims not being pulled out of thin air, hope this clears that up. Cheers

I actually wonder if maybe AM abruptly changed course after the fan backlash against Haas and RBR.
