Introduction
I have a deep memory of this picture in my head, of this car from Ferrari driven by the only one by Michael Schumacher.
The Ferrari F1-2000
This is was my favorite F1 car at this time, it was red of my favorite colors, and to this day for me, Ferrari = Red = is related to “Malboro”. This is the only company I knew from the Tobacco industry, and I don’t understand why I never smoked…
But now I’m older, and the Formule one has totally changed… And i’am no longer Ferrari supporter.

The new 2022 F1 car
2022 Haas VF-22
Haas was the first team to unveil its new car ahead of the new campaign. While the actual VF-22 won’t be exactly the same as the one it runs during testing and the 2022 season, and it was billed as a livery launch, it does provide a glimpse of what to expect this year, as it seems to be base on Haas’s own chassis.
Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin once again race for the team, with Schumacher upbeat about his prospects this year after crawling around at the back of the grid in 2021.
In this picture, we have the first version, if you look closely you can recognize the flag of Russia in front of the car and you should know by now that… And they decide to change it.
And here’s the new update.
Update, update, Nikita is no longer part of the Haas team…
2022 Red Bull RB18
Red Bull claimed that it was unveiling the RB18, the car it hopes will help Max Verstappen defend his drivers’ crown and take the constructors’ from Mercedes.
However, in reality, the team had simply repainted F1’s show car, displayed last year to offer an indication of what the 2022 cars would look like. It means that nothing is known about the direction the design team has taken, and testing will be the first chance to see what the new car looks like.
Drivers: Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez
2022 Aston Martin AMR22
Aston Martin’s car reveal was the first opportunity to see a 2022 Formula 1 car, with the launch event featuring a genuine new-spec design, even though some areas look likely to be developed further before testing.
In 2021, Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll struggled to be competitive in the carried-over Mercedes copy and were hit hardest by the regulation changes in the floor area.
2022 McLaren MCL36
McLaren has shown off its new MCL36 at its HQ in Woking ahead of testing, along with a series of digital images, including the one above. The new car offers a good indication of the one it will race but is missing several key features, with absent strakes ahead of the underbody air inlets, and a front wing that’s much smaller than expected.
Lando Norris has signed a new five-year deal to lock him into the team; Daniel Ricciardo will hope that last year’s teething troubles are over and he can show the pace that he’s capable of.
2022 AlphaTauri AT03
Without the red Honda logo on this year’s car, the 2022 AlphaTauri is even more colour-coordinated than before; its blue and white colour scheme barely interrupted by any sponsors. Last year’s livery was a relatively simple split between white, on the lower sections and blue up top. This year’s is more of a blend, which follows the curvier lines of this year’s car. A white strip running from the side of the nose, runs down to the bottom of the sidepods, underneath a middle blue strip that carries the AlphaTauri livery. A small white HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) logo maintains some form of Honda branding.
Drivers: Yuki Tsunoda, Pierre Gasly
2022 Williams FW44
Slowly but surely, Williams has found improvements to lift itself out of the F1 doldrums but there’s still some way to go in getting the great name back to the front.
It’ll be without star driver George Russell in 2022 following his promotion to Mercedes, but the returning Alex Albon will be hoping to pick up where his compatriot left off.
He was on hand with team-mate Nicholas Latifi and team boss Jost Capito to unveil the new Williams F1 livery, featuring a new bluer color scheme, which was applied to last year’s Formula 1 show car.
2022 Ferrari F1-75
The F1-75 is named in honour of the 75th anniversary of the first production car that left the factory, and has been three years in the making: the culmination of a change in direction for the team, following its private settlement in 2019 that pegged back its performance in the subsequent 2020 season.
As well as the new chassis, Ferrari has been working intensely on the power unit, with a new V6 due to be introduced in one final bid to bridge the gap to the top teams before an engine development freeze is introduced this year.
Whether it’s a car capable of allowing Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz to fight for wins remains to be seen but if it isn’t, there could be casualties in the Ferrari leadership as a result.
2022 Mercedes launches F1 W13
For the entirety of the turbo hybrid era, no team has been able to topple Mercedes from atop its perch as the best team in Formula 1. Constructors’ champions in 2021 for the eighth consecutive year, Mercedes is aiming to deliver yet another pace-setting car in the W13 E-Performance.
What was shown at the Silverstone launch looks to be a genuine version of the 2022 car, although any of the elements could change before racing starts, and even before next week’s winter test in Barcelona.
Launching a day after Ferrari’s F1-75, the Mercedes proved to be another striking interpretation of this year’s new set of regulations, featuring a sculpted, curved floor that merges into sizeable strakes ahead of the sidepods. Mercedes returns to its silver livery this year, after two years of its black colour scheme.
Drivers: Lewis Hamilton, George Russell.
2022 Alpine A522
The Alpine A522 has been unveiled, resplendent in the familiar Alpine blue with hints of BWT pink, the team’s new title sponsor. In a twist, however, the team showed a reversed livery, with pink the dominant colour, and announced its intention to race in those colours for the first two weekends of the 2022 F1 season.
No doubt Alpine’s new Team Principal Otmar Szafnauer will be having flashbacks to his time managing Racing Point and the infamous 2020 ‘Pink Mercedes’. Like many of the other 2022 F1 cars revealed so far, there are similarities to the FIA show car but some unique elements, including eight distinct vertical vents on the engine cover and nine more vents across the top of the sidepod. If Alpine’s car from 2021 looked a little bloated, the A522 is much more streamlined.
Drivers: Fernando Alonso, Esteban Ocon.
By the way Alpine F1 Team Fan Token has been list on Binance the same day, and i’am part of this journey…
2022 Alfa Romeo C42
The team retains the traditional colours of the Alfa Romeo brand for this season, but has switched from a majority white livery to a chiefly red design.
The majority of the nose, the bulkhead and the halo have all turned red on this year’s car, while the engine cover also turns red, with the addition of ‘Alfa Romeo’ written in an old-fashioned font.
The livery was created by Alfa Rome’s Centro Stile design centre. According to the team, it is “a stunning yet subtle nod to the past, recalling historical designs of years past and the heritage of Alfa Romeo and Sauber Motorsport, in the Hinwil team’s 30th year in Formula 1.”
Dtivers: Valtteri Bottas, Guanyu Zhou

Crypto Sponsor
I did not know if you notice but this years, there are a tsunami of crypto campagny which are sponsoring some circuit, and team… This is year we still have crypto.com, tezos, bybit, and this is the first year of Binance with his collaboration with Alpine.
My favorite are A522, F1-75, and of course the W13 E-Performance.
See you on March 20 for the first GP in Bahrain 🇧🇭
