1. The way I look at it is, and as far as I'm aware, regs for 2026 will affect power units the most, while still having ground effects. Engine wise, as a works team, I'm pretty sure Mercs will have a beast of an engine, but going into the 3rd ground effect year they are still clueless and can't really nail the concept. Nothing guarantees they will be able to have it sorted out by 2026.

  2. New regs are gonna favour Ferrari, banning split turbo Ferrari being the only team not to adopt the concept, mastered and introduced by Mercedes) and giving te Maranello team a knowledge and experience advantage. And even now Ferrari engine is arguably the most powerful of the grid.

  3. I love it! A tad too bright for me so I think I'll go back to the Oxford blue but I sure love it. And it sheens beautifully. Definitely not gonna struggle to finish the bottle.

  4. Awesome! I rotate between majestic blue, oxblood, and aurora borealis, between several pens. I think it’s a great set of combos.

  5. I rotate between majestic blue, blue black, shin ryoku (pilot) and autumn oak, I also have purple rain but I'm a bit disappointed by it and it's hard to clean so I'm not really using it a lot.

  6. Redbull fans are triggered. They didn't see all the trouble redbull had during the weekend until that qualifying lap by verstapen. It was more about verstapen producing a magic lap than a dominant performance by Redbull.

  7. Even in q3 I think telemetry showed sainz to be favourite and losing the pole because of a mistake in t9 I believe. I'll try and get the post that talked about it.

  8. Pace of the car today was far more concerning that the DNF's.

  9. Looks like fast corners are a problem and jeddah, Albert park and suzuka are particularly harsh for them. It's painful to watch

  10. Wait what? How would Italy still get the wooden spoon?

  11. DRic at redbull and sauber dropping Zhou? O on leaving f1? Lawrence but be high on some good shit

  12. It looks like more of what we had last season. Ferrari to have great one lap pace (and Charles being great in qualifying). Red Bull to have unmatched race pace.

  13. Ferrari seems to have a better race pace than last year(S), maybe if they manage to quali ahead it won't be that easy to pass them (full of hopium)

  14. Still don't understand how anybody who saw 2022 could think Perez was capable of mounting a challenge.

  15. I never thought he would have mounted a serious challenge but I expected him to like... Be there. With a car that wins the last race of the season with 20s of margin after not being developed for months you'd think he would have no problems stearing clear of any car that isn't red and blue.

  16. Non spetta a me far rispettare l'ordine. Se avessi avuto voglia, capacità e requisiti, sarei entrato nelle forze dell'ordine.

  17. I don't even remember life in 2017 anymore. For context, I think 2017 was Max's first full season at Red Bull

  18. It was before covid, Ferrari still had seb and kimi, bottas was the new Mercedes driver, no Aston Martin.

  19. Unrelated but what happened to Chainbear?

  20. io convengo che il fascismo altro non è che il liberalismo nei tempi duri :)

  21. Its probably mostly the car but i wouldn't be surprised if some details are hidden in the renders.

  22. It "might" be the hopium but the fact that in the last year's they showed the actual car makes me think that there's something they're keeping hidden.

  23. Love the yellow and white stripes, reminds me of the Lemans car, maybe it's a lucky combination.

  24. It's a lovely phrase written in italian like that

  25. It's similar to another idiom: "occhio non vede, cuore non duole" (literally "eye doesn't see, heart doesn't ache") typically used when hiding something from someone to protect them and avoid them pain.

  26. Yeah, on the balance the Ferrari guys don't seem as free as a lot of the others on the grid to do custom helmets. Though I can see Lewis easily getting a custom contract clause given his pull.

  27. This is a fever dream. Haven’t felt like this about anything F1 related for years.

  28. Is this on the same level of Vettel to Ferrari? Wasn't around back then but it's the first thing that comes to mind

  29. Potentially, and also keep in mind that Vasseur knows Hamilton very well from their days in GP2. Definitely the most "Hamilton-friendly" Ferrari team principal.

  30. I wonder how well will vasseur mange Charles and Lewis if the car is competitive, he's very close to both of them if I'm not wrong
