New year, new thread.

Thoughts and feelings welcome.

• Sky TV take over local supply in NZ from Jan 2023 as Spark Sport ends.
  Waiting to see if F1TV Pro direct access continues in this geo area.
  
  
• New design regs from 2022 did have a positive impact on ability to follow, but still needed DRS to pass a lot of the time.
  Wondering what will happen car design wise this year.
  
  
• Mercedes failed by their standards, butt started to come right near the end. 
  Will they be strong again in 2023?
  
  
• Red Bull were boringly solid for 2/3s of the season, and totally dominant in 2022. 
  Expect the same for 2023.
  
  
• Ferrari started the best off the blocks but then handed strategy to the clown posse. 
  Embarrassing doesn't even really begin to describe that effort.  So much potential there.
  
  
• Lots of driver shake ups in there, where will they all settle. 
  Now also lots of team principle changes.
  
  
• McLaren needs more speed and their car handles really oddly. 
  DR gone now and next Aussie arrives.
  
  
• 2023 is last year as Alfa Romeo before switching back to Sauber ahead of Audi in 2026.
  
  
• Netflix Survive to Drive should still have some decent content from 2022 season, and fill the gap before the season kicks off. 
  Likely to arrive around end of Feb 2023.
