Welcome to News from the Nerds – your midweek news show brought to you by the FormulaNerds. On this week’s show, James M, James P, Abby and Sam discuss: The 2021 Budget Cap alleged breaches: ·   Will 2021 ever end? Two teams are rumoured to have surpassed the budget cap last season, with potential championship implications. What do we know, and what do we think will come out of it? Silly season HAAS to be over soon: ·   It looks like we know who is going to AlphaTauri, depending on whether Alpine get their man, which should decide Williams’s choice. But Haas are somewhat separate in this. Will they stick with the devil they know, will they turn to an old hand, or will they dip into a different talent pool? Alonso being Alonso: ·   The fiery Spaniard was less than impressed with a potentially detrimental double-DNF for Alpine in Singapore. Do they panel agree with him, or are these merely the grumblings of a disgruntled outgoing employee? And is their reliability a concern in their P4 showdown with McLaren? Hamilton says the FIA has ‘failed’: ·   Have the new regulations achieved what they set out to do, and will the cost cap hold any gaps in performance steady throughout the latest era of F1? The panel take a look at Hamilton’s comments and weight up the situation – is he right, is it too early to tell, and is he a hypocrite? The future of W Series: ·   The women-only championship is in financial turmoil. Will it survive the season, and could more be done to safeguard its future? Headline name Jamie Chadwick had a weekend to forget in Singapore, as she threw away the chance to wrap up the 2022 title – but will that prove costly?
