That's correct Vettel with bis new haircut looks very old  . The decision about the engine freeze was postponed and Red Bull with Honda are already in the dark.

Sorry i found this only at Herman.

I lost my hair at an even younger age so I would welcome a rich F1 driver with the same problem, I would expect him to pay for some cosmetic surgery though.

[Real-Duke]

Vettel started to work with Aston Martin yesterday. And did you saw his new haircut?

With all this corona stuff around there is the need to avoid contacts. Here in our local area all the hairdressers have clossed their studios since middle december.
From my point of view I would call it a corona haircut only. Even if Vettel now looks very old but its a good decision

[boltz]

Hahah, the Vettel being bald jokes are here aswell so you gotta love Bitcointalk community <3. However, I feel a little sad for the guy as Ferrari really made him bald in my opinion with all the stress that he endured for all this season. On the other side , we all know that testosterone will damage your hair at some point of your life and it seems that Vettel is no exception of this. Do you remember Hamilton's hair in 2008 ? I do ...it was worse than Vettels.

yeah, it is not such an expensive thing, it is around 5k € not a problem at all for him.

UPDATE
The GP of Imola will be probably done with closed doors (April)especially since the vaccine thing is slowing down in Europe cause big Pharma are slow.

It's just that Vettel is used to being treated as a leader in his teams, and when Ferrari began to divide its attention also on Leclair, Sebastian began to get nervous and make mistakes, sometimes very stupid. However, next year there will be a change of regulations and Vettel in the new team, as well as other drivers from other teams, has a chance to go back to the first roles in the championship, because he has a certain talent available.

It looks like Rossi will have his own MotoGP team in 2022, the contract looks like it's in the home straight. But with which manufacturer, Suzuki or others? Yamaha looks like they don't want to build 6 bikes.

Yeah, probably his new haircut is related to corona stuff. I also had to cut my hair at home . But I think that stressful years in Ferrari didn't helped for his hair too. I'm not fan of Vettel, but he is good guy and I really hope that he will have redemption season in Aston Martin

[boltz]

I do hope Vettel will redeem himself this season and maybe find a win out of nowhere as for now I'm not see Aston Marton as a strong candidate for the 3rd place just because McLaren really looks strong this year with Ricci, Mercedes partnership and already 2 good season behind them. On the other side, they branded with the biggest IT company right knows as Cognizant and if they came here from all the others teams out there, it must be a solid long-term project going on with Aston Martin that most likely will have a big success one day.

AlphaTauri driver Pierre Gasly has tested positive for Covid-19 and is self-isolating. That's number 6 already. The positive thing about this is, that the chance they get it later in the season in much less. Let's hope they could just train like they did normally while they are in self-isolating.

It is in the benefit of all us if the drivers pass Covid before the 2021 Championship starts so we don’t have absences like Hamilton in 2020 although that absence was good for F1 as we saw with Mercedes anyone can win.The more drivers pass Covid now the better and I think they should get vaccinated by Fia because the money and resources surely are available for such thing.

[aesma]

Giving the vaccine to young and fit drivers when old and ill people are waiting for it would be a disaster move in my opinion. Some rich guy in Canada is facing jail because he did some shenanigans to get vaccinated before it was his turn.

I can afford that but I don't like how it's done even if it is getting better, hair taken from one place to put it elsewhere. I'm waiting for cloning so that it's possible to make thousands of hairs from a few.

About Imola, yeah, not too surprising as Italy is again hard hit (I have family there).

[Koal-84]

An article about Formula1 drivers and there hardest hit with covid19.

Why are Formula 1 drivers hardest hit by COVID-19?

Also i think this years is also dominated from Corona, 2022 will The first normally years at Motorsports around the world.

Here in Italy, some politicians did before others but we are corrupted so no punishment at all.

If the vaccine will be efficient for variants yes 2022 can be a normal year and exciting with the new cars from zero.

Well if the FIA wants to do this they have to vaccinate the whole pitcrews and not only the drivers. If only the driver of a team is the only one who is healthy they still got a big problem.

But I don't think is necessary to vaccinate the drivers. When they are in the season they are all living in a big bubble and a lot of people outside of this bubble are getting their vaccination. So the chance they get it is also getting smaller.

LOLOLOL!  Yup!  I was laughing the first time I saw it and I’m still laughing when I’m looking at it right now.    I saw it a couple of days ago when my friend who’s a crazy mofo was looking at his phone and he goes:  ‘You wanna see Prince William in an F1 car?’.  Rofl.

[Cnut237]

Ferrari really made him bald in my opinion with all the stress that he endured for all this season.

I think it goes both ways, and Vettel's performance (or lack of) probably caused some baldness amongst Ferrari officials, too
It has to be said he really underperformed in the red car, and not just last season. There were a couple of years where the Ferrari package was right up there with Mercedes, but Ferrari didn't have the drivers to beat Hamilton.

@Cnut237 I honestly don’t understand was it’s Vettle’s over confidence, or arrogance or lack of faith, in himself which led him to give poor performances for Ferrari despite his vast talents. Lastly I don’t think that Hamilton will be beaten this year too, as I see no driver available that can beat Hamilton and win the title.

I have heard some news that Aston Martin F1 team will introduce its car on March 3. I have found a picture of the car but it is not confirmed whether this is real. The picture is below:

If this is true, it looks really good I think.

Did they?  Merc always had the best car since the switch to the V6.  I mean imagine switching Vettel and Hamilton during that time when ‘Ferrari had the package’...  I think Vettel would be winning the championship by a mile cos really Ferrari is kinda behind in F1 auto development for more than a decade now.
