Fanovi Maksa Verštapena veruju da će se nastaviti dominacija holandskog vozača, koji se bori za treću vezanu titulu Fans of Max Verstappen believe that the Belgian- Dutch driver will maintain his dominance as he competes to secure a third consecutive title
uslovi postaju nehumani, međutim, odmah je reago- vala Međunarodna automobilistička federacija (FIA), koja je uvela zabranu davanja „političkih, religioznih, čak i ličnih“ izjava bez prethodno dobijenog odobre- nja. Ko voli, nek izvoli... Posle dvogodišnje pauze vra- tile su se Velika nagrada Katara i trka u Las Vegasu, koja će se, za razliku od svih ostalih, voziti u subotu. FIA je na sve moguće načine gurala da Grad greha do- bije svoj gran-pri, u koji će biti uloženo pola milijar- de dolara! Očekuje se rekordna zarada, jer su planule gotovo sve ulaznice, od onih najjeftinijih za 500 do- lara, do pansiona u jednom od hotela u Las Vegasu koji košta pet miliona dolara za 12 osoba. Dva puta u sezoni će se voziti po tri vezane trke, prvo u maju i junu u Imoli, Monaku i Barseloni, a za-
tim i na kraju sezone, u oktobru i novembru, kada će se non-stop voziti u Ostinu, Meksiko Sitiju i Brazilu. Nakon velikih promena tehničkih propisa za 2022. timovi u novu sezonu ulaze relativno rasterećeni. Me- đutim, najveći problem ostaje poskakivanje bolida ko- je ugrožava bezbednost vozača, a mnogi su se piloti žalili da zbog toga posle trke trpe jake bolove. FIA je zato naredila da pod bude za 15 milimetara viši ne- go u 2022, ali to će dovesti do gubitka u performan- sama. Procenjuje se da će bolidi biti sporiji za pola sekunde po krugu. Odlučeno je i da spoljašnji retro- vizori budu veći, kako bi se eliminisao mrtav ugao, a na sprint trkama će se isprobati i neke promene u kvaifikacijama, kao i sa DRS sistemom. Ako se po- kažu kao dobre, koristiće se od 2024.
and is set to be replaced by Pierre Gasly, who has in turn been replaced in the AlphaTauri team by Nyck de Vries. The McLaren team released Daniel Ricciar- do a year ahead of the end of his contract, prompt- ing the driver to return to the Red Bull squad as a reserve driver. The Australian is being succeeded at McClaren by his countryman and F1 debutant Os- car Piastri. Canadian Nicholas Latifi has also called it quits on the F1 championship, so the Williams team will also give the wheel to a debutant in the form of American Logan Sargeant. Having a famous surname didn’t help Mick Schumacher preserve his spot on the team. The son of the great Michael has transferred to Mercedes, where he will be a reserve driver, while fellow German Nico Hülkenberg will be driving for the Haas team in 2023. We’ve already noted that the 2023 schedule will include a record 23 races, and maybe even 24, as well as six “sprint races”. Commenting on social media, drivers have complained that conditions are “becom- ing inhumane”, to which the FIA responded immedi- ately by introducing a ban on making “political, reli- gious and even personal” statements without prior approval. Like it or lump it... Following a two-year break, the Qatar Grand Prix is back on the roster, as is the Las Vegas race, which will differ from all the others in that it will be run on a Saturday. The FIA has exerted every possible effort to ensure the famous City of Gambling receives its own grand prix, with half a billion dollars to be invested! It is also expected to generate record earnings, with almost all tickets having been snatched up already – from the ‘cheapest’ 500-dollar tickets, to those that include accommodation for 12 people in a Las Vegas hotel and cost five million dollars. The season will twice include three linked races: first in Imola, Monaco and Barcelona during May and June; and then towards the end of the season, in Oc- tober and November, when drivers will race consecu- tively in Austin, Mexico City and Brazil. Following the major changes to technical regula- tions for the 2022 season, the teams enter the new campaign relatively unburdened. However, the big- gest problem continues to be porpoising, or bounc- ing, which threatens driver safety and has prompted many competitors to complain that it causes them great post-race back and neck pain. The FIA responded by ordering that the floor in front of the rear wheels be raised by 15 millimeters compared to 2022, although this will lead to poorer performances. It is estimated that the cars will be half a second per lap slower. It has also been decided that wing mirrors will be larg- er, in order to improve visibility and eliminate ‘blind spots’, while Sprint races will include certain chang- es during qualification and some adjustments to the DRS system will be tried out. If these changes prove positive, they will be included across the champion- ship from 2024.

Iako će se u 2023. voziti više trka, budžeti timova su sa 141,2 miliona u 2022. skresani na 137,4 miliona dolara Despite there being more races in 2023, team budgets have been cut from 2022’s $141.2 million to 137.4 million
