It’s the first Insider of 2022 and I’d like to wish you all a Happy New Year as we anticipate another great season with Motorsport.com. As is the tradition, we’re allowed some New Year wishes, so here are mine: I wish that the new-look Formula 1 cars create better racing from a more-level playing field with more opportunities for overtaking.
