yeah Ferrari were kinda dreadful during the summer that year

Ok guys
Is the HAAS Livery better than the Red Bull?
Cause for me it's tied right now

[cyan saffron]

yes

So far my ratings are:
Haas 10/10
Red Bull 9/10
Racing Bulls 7/10

[keen skiff]

^^^That's what I'm feeling at the moment

Otherwise HAAS would be ranked under the Redbull at #2

God what's it gonna look like

Yellow? Black? Gray?

[timid python]

Ngl idk why but I hate it lol

It just gives me eye sore for no reason

Williams will normally be 🔥 tho

[keen skiff]

I mean it's an improvement over their dark/carbon livery

[timid python]

Eh idk

I may slightly prefer the 2025 one

The 2026 one just seems weird for some reason

[vocal lynx]

its the lighting

[timid python]

Eh maybe?

[cyan saffron]

You can't really compare a render to a track pic.

And sadly im not a billionaire's son to pay and see it irl

[topaz igloo]

I don’t think so, but they’re both really frickin good

[topaz igloo]

To me, this is a significant upgrade in 2026

More white, the GR logo looks awesome

[keen skiff]

This is true

We need to see these cars under the Bahrain lights

[timid python]

Fair enough, I can't argue against taste

[winter scarab]

not official tho

i would be suprised if they were even 30% similar

[craggy raven]

Damn

[unreal rune]

I got senna’s mclaren

[quiet fractal]

Watching Honda presentation rn

[lavish ore]

red bull and haas are tied for me too

i think red bull might be slightly higher just because it's been so long since they made a major change to their livery

but the haas is absolutely gorgeous

[brisk harness]

redbull is 6.5 , Haas is 8

im not even sure what are you looking for you to say redbull is 8 or more

racing bulls has better livery

[errant lintel]

[topaz igloo]

Does anyone know how this switch to Apple TV is going to work for F1 TV

Like.. are all the races going to be archived on Apple TV

Or do you just use your Apple TV login to access archived races, which are still on F1 TV

[keen skiff]

F1TV will be the same

[long sapphire]

Or Aero issues. The complex active Aero is very difficult to manage. Also Bottas said „that you are sliding a lot more”.

[keen skiff]

Apple I think is more live broadcast only probably?

I never had the service so

[topaz igloo]

Yeah the details are a bit unclear. I know youre going to be able to access archived F1 races with your apple account, but I still haven't seen it confirmed if its through Apple itself or through the F1 TV app

I am assuming through the F1 TV app, but just dont have confirmation yet. I'm not even totally sure when the "switch" to Apple is official, though I thought I saw something about early February

I assume they're going to be up and running for public testing

[keen skiff]

Its likely the app will be featured on Apple TV

[topaz igloo]

I have Apple TV already, so just very curious to see how it all turns out.

[keen skiff]

And then you make your account?

[keen skiff]

Is apple TV a streaming service or a physical smart TV sold by apple?

[topaz igloo]

A streaming service

[keen skiff]

So if you have a smart TV, you can sign up for apple TV by account but
I don't think you need f1tv because IIRC apple paid millions for an f1 deal?
Maybe part of the deal is they have access to every new weekend show live for a limited time?

If you want to watch whenever you of course need f1 tv

[topaz igloo]

Yes, apple has the broadcast rights for F1 in the US starting this year

I've looked it up, and it doesn't seem like it's clear yet about accessing the archived races, though. I'm sure they'll make it known once Apple actually goes "live" with it all

[keen skiff]

Apple offers f1tv premium which sounds like an option for the user if they want to watch more archived stuff

[topaz igloo]

Yes it will be available with it, though I think the remaining question is if it will actually be on the Apple TV app, or if I just use my Apple TV login to access it on the F1 TV app

Not that it matters because I’ll have access either way, but just curious to see how it works

Excited for Audi reveal!

[keen skiff]

Its not that it will be an absolute failure but we've seen what happened when Mercedes had the engineering edge over its competitors before

They won't be like the McLaren days, but behind since Newey admitted it will take some time before the factory has all the updated simulation tools

On the Upside apparently Alonso changed his mind about retiring post 2026 and wants to drive just a little longer

And the team apparently like what the projections say about the 2026 car

[scarlet vessel]

Is this a concept livery on the thumbnail?

So the Audi got leaked

[keen skiff]

Im not looking

Anyway

[azure falcon]

oh???

it looks different from what i expected tbh

[keen skiff]

What if Cadillac adopts a Dark Livery and yellow as part of their brand color?

[timid python]

Ngl I hope that they go with smth similar to their logo

[quasi vine]

im not gonna look at that but if its the thing they revealed back in november im crashing out

[timid python]

Like red gold and blue

Oh wait thats just an rb 🥀

Nvm

[timid python]

Silver too maybe?

[keen skiff]

A white livery?

[long sapphire]

SHUT UP. AUDI IS ON TRACK TO SHOW THEIR F1 CAR

[tacit shell]

Lewis Hamilton WDC 2026

[long sapphire]

no

al-russel wdc

they revealed the car guys

[tawny aspen]

Oh my days man

[long sapphire]

the bcp logo is off ngl

[tawny aspen]

Yess

[keen skiff]

Soooooooo it's just the concept livery

It's not bad

Tbh

[tawny aspen]

The bp is off tho

[keen skiff]

A bit too minimalist tho

[tawny aspen]

The red looks weird there

Kinda

[keen skiff]

Yeeeeeah

[tawny aspen]

The tshirt is peak tho

[long sapphire]

Nahh the red is nicely done

[livid scaffold]

it looks ai generated

[tawny aspen]

Fr

[long sapphire]

i would go for the dakar style livery

[keen skiff]

Audi just want to start simple on debut
I can respect that I guess but LOL Damn they basically revealed their livery 3 MONTHS in advance

[tawny aspen]

If the red was more of a stripe it would have been better

This is basically a sponsor reveal tbh

[keen skiff]

Not even a sponsor on the red which is Odd. The Audi ring should go THERE

[dim torrent]

Same

[mint bane]

🤣

[tawny aspen]

Yea

[keen skiff]

Its not a bad livery, but

[ionic marsh]

im very disappointed

by audi

[keen skiff]

It's not beating the HAAS

[ionic marsh]

as much as i love audi its a horrid livery

[keen skiff]

I got so far
Redbull tied with HAAS
Racing Bulls second

IDK Where this Audi stands.....it's not better than the HAAS

Ill say that

[dim torrent]

I'd give the Audi a 5/10

It could've been so much better

[tawny aspen]

I give haas a p3

Its not that wow imo

Like it looks cleaner sure but

[mint bane]

3/10

[warm phoenix]

I'm not a big fan so far

[icy chasm]

Looks like p21 and p22 to me

[mint bane]

They need to do better

[tawny aspen]

Fair

[placid wren]

Is it bad I kinda like it?

[icy chasm]

That bp logo should be white

[tawny aspen]

No we just had bigger expectations

[keen skiff]

I dont hate it, I get why, keep the debut livery minimal I get it but man I was expecting something akin to Vodafone McLaren in some manner. Like more Red Wings.

[mint bane]

Ye

[warm phoenix]

The red looks out of place

[azure vigil]

I was expecting a lot more

[icy chasm]

Could've paid the designers enough to paint the rest of the car

[dim torrent]

It is certainly... An livery

[azure vigil]

it’s not bad but rather not enough

[mint bane]

I even made a better livery for f1 25 my team 😭

[tawny aspen]

It looks good from the front

[placid wren]

The red block definitely doesn’t look as bad when you look at it from the side

[icy chasm]

I swear i used that on f1 2020😂

[keen skiff]

Reminds me of McLaren 2013/2014
Ron Dennis mandated the colors grey and minimalist.

[tawny aspen]

Yea

[mint bane]

Same

But now I play 25 bc I did 10 seasons

[icy chasm]

Anyone have the launch roadmap?

So i can download it

[keen skiff]

Tommo is SOOOOO gonna redesign this lol

When F1/Audi showed that concept last year,I expected a red rear and front

wing

[icy chasm]

I expected a different livery like they SAID WOULD HAPPEN

[dim torrent]

I wanted it to look something like this

[icy chasm]

But the designers must have been fired before they could finish it

Or smth

[placid wren]

I guess they really are committed to the minimalism “back to basics” idea

Which is very Audi, but the designer in me recoils a bit

[icy chasm]

Half that stream was a german guy talking about heritage and people climbing stairs

[placid wren]

sounds about right

I just caught the last 5 minutes

[keen skiff]

Anything close to this would've been hype

Red front and rear wings would've been perfect

[icy chasm]

Not related to the livery but unpopularly i don't like the complex body aero era of 2007 and 8, i like a simple chassis

[dim torrent]

I agree tbh

[icy chasm]

What do you think about the Williams teamwear

Better than 25 in my opinion

[placid wren]

One things for sure though: those race suits look CLEAN

[icy chasm]

Only part i like

Not a fan of the teamwear

Looks like they just came from my local audi dealership

[dim torrent]

Yeah

[fossil goblet]

Audi:

• the worst livery soo far this season
• best team kit soo far this season

(debatable ofc)

[keen skiff]

Their race suits are black right?

[icy chasm]

Completely unbiased here but the Williams teamwear is the best

Fire colour and pattern

[dim torrent]

oh yes.

[fossil goblet]

THOSE JACKETZ BRO- 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[dim torrent]

Yeah

[tender ibex]

Exactly how I feel about it

It’s just kinda meh

[fossil goblet]

wait actually I meant team kit
*race suit

[tender ibex]

I mean like I wasn’t expecting anything ground breaking but man

[icy chasm]

Oh then yeah

[dim torrent]

Yeah. It's just ______

[fossil goblet]

considering the yap session they put us through for THAT

[icy chasm]

Man i hope williams have as good a livery as their teamwear

go weeyums

Permanent Golf Livery please

[fossil goblet]

everybody loves weeyums

[fossil goblet]

YES!

[elder cosmos]

This is my opinion on the audi livery, it’s not bad but because everyone else’s livery’s have been AMAZING it’s at the bottom of the list for now

[fossil goblet]

yk what, yes

[icy chasm]

'Ich bin heritage ist gut' sums that event up fairly well

Und stairs

[south heron]

I'm so sick of minimalism

[elder cosmos]

It’s not bad but it definitely isn’t good

[south heron]

the Williams livery last year was already terrible in this regard

[tender ibex]

It doesn’t help that we got fire liveries from RED BULL and HASS of all teams

[south heron]

right??

[icy chasm]

24 was underrated

[south heron]

it was

[fossil goblet]

i hated the Williams livery last year (ik most of y'all loved it, it's just my opinion)

[icy chasm]

I didn't like the blue on sidepod last year

[south heron]

honestly though their 2022 livery is the best they've had since 2021

[fossil goblet]

agreed

[fossil goblet]

YES

[tender ibex]

Blasphemy

[elder cosmos]

Exactly, it’s especially hard to follow up after the hardest livery hass has ever had

[south heron]

finally someone who agrees

[icy chasm]

Bwoah

[placid wren]

“Modern” aesthetics just kinda suck imo

[south heron]

I fail to see how it's even remotely good, just pasting a gradient on the whole car is just ugly

[south heron]

they do

[elder cosmos]

It’s literally just an f1 my team car

[fossil goblet]

credit where due, they did COOK with the race suits

[tender ibex]

It’s just not working for me

[placid wren]

Suits are absolute fire

[south heron]

fortunately minimalism seems to be falling out of favor but not as fast as I'd like

[brisk harness]

Audi livery is 10/10 , ttop1 so far

[elder cosmos]

And not the f1 25 my team, I’m talking 24

[icy chasm]

HOLY RACE SUIT CARRY

[south heron]

yeah at least the suits look great

[dim torrent]

It feels like a Vodafone Mclaren without the things that made the Vodafone Mclaren cool

[fossil goblet]

if only we could have got the concept livery they introduced back in 2022

[tender ibex]

I like the suits though

[south heron]

yeah the suits are the saving grace

[elder cosmos]

I’m sorry but you are just wrong

[tender ibex]

Let’s be real

We all just wanted this

[fossil goblet]

ragebait used to be believable 🥀

[elder cosmos]

Suits and team kit are fire tho

[south heron]

same man same

[dim torrent]

Yeah

[placid wren]

It feels strange not seeing gabi in green

[elder cosmos]

GIVE IT TO ME

[coarse tulip]

just saw the livery
it's just... meh

[fossil goblet]

I'd kill to get this livery on the grid 😭

[south heron]

well it'd have had to be modified for sponsors but yea it would've been a much better base

[coarse tulip]

but the race suits are fire

[fossil goblet]

agreed

[elder cosmos]

It’s the lowest out of the cars so far

[dim torrent]

I wanted something like this

[tender ibex]

They don’t have that many sponsors tbf

[fossil goblet]

"our expectations for you were low but holy fuck" Audi

[elder cosmos]

That’s doesn’t look like an f1 car

[fossil goblet]

yk what's funny

[tender ibex]

I’m about to blow your mind

[south heron]

true but the stripes on the sidepods would've had to be arranged differently so that the title sponsor would be visible

[fossil goblet]

their title sponsor called Ferrari's livery as "not a good design"

[tender ibex]

True

[coarse tulip]

this would've been elite 😭 why audi

[south heron]

HP hate is so forced

[fast fable]

I mean, for the starter season car with less sponsors, it's decent.
Reminds me of R8R from their initial WEC season.

[tough veldt]

Yeah

[south heron]

blue logo on red car, how outrageous

like Ferrari hasn't had sponsors with blue logos before

[fast fable]

Fiat.

[south heron]

calling it decent is generous, it's so low-effort

[south heron]

yup

[elder cosmos]

https://tenor.com/view/freaky-sonic-exploding-head-explodes-gif-4836848942886524727

[south heron]

but when it's HP all of a sudden it's the worst thing since the SF21 livery

genuinely it's looked good on both the SF24 and SF25

[south heron]

but I digress

[elder cosmos]

Ferrari is gonna look ass

[placid wren]

At least all their sponsors look good on the car

[tough veldt]

Wait a minute
HP ruin a livery
BP ruin a livery

[south heron]

if their race suits are anything to go by, I have hopes the livery will at least be good

[south heron]

which is funny bc neither is true

[fossil goblet]

I AM HOPING FOR A VEGAS '23 😭

[elder cosmos]

If it didn’t have HP it would be good

[south heron]

the BP logo looks good tbh

[fossil goblet]

if only they used the red/black hp logo

[fast fable]

DP World: Stop there, you donut.

[fossil goblet]

[south heron]

bring back the SF70H inshallah 🔥

[icy chasm]

Do we think the merc will be any different or nah

[fossil goblet]

a little something to bless you guy's eyes after that livery

[south heron]

if it is more different I'd hope it'll be silver again

[south heron]

thancc 🙏

[fossil goblet]

i am sure they'll be a mixture of black and silver again

[south heron]

but yeah I hope they'll come up with something good as well

[fast fable]

Merc revealing their livery colour, I guess.

[fossil goblet]

i picture them having silver on the engine covers and cooling

[icy chasm]

Probably chamge the airbox a lil

[south heron]

they did this in 2024 as well

it doesn't mean anything

[fossil goblet]

last year they had the same graphic too, just WhatsApp things

[south heron]

oh?

[fast fable]

Imagine they come up with green.

[south heron]

pretty sure they first did this in 24

[south heron]

Aston in shambles

[fossil goblet]

yup they've been doing it since they partnered with WhatsApp

[mental tusk]

why does audi’s car look so german 😭

they're aura farming like Ferrari did last year

fr 🥲

[south heron]

genuinely an F-tier livery I'm not sorry

[fossil goblet]

i see them flopping BAD this year (especially considering the expectations everyone has with Fernando and Newey)

[south heron]

yeah sure they have Alonso but I don't think they'll hit it out of the gates right away this year even in the best case scenario

[fossil goblet]

well but then again I see Ferrari winning every year but

I'd be happy with even just 1 win atp

[fossil goblet]

i just want a lewis podium in red

is it too much to ask? 😭

[south heron]

right??

[dim torrent]

I hope we get something similar to the 2019 livery

[fossil goblet]

yk what fuck wins, fuck podiums, fuck the championship

i just wanna see my boys happy and not depressed for ONCE

idc if we're dead last as long as both Lewis and Charles are happy

(though obviously they won't be happy if they're dead last but you get what I mean)

[tough veldt]

Next year they should do a fan livery instead so we can get awesome liveries

[fluid yew]

That's it

Audi wins the livery contest already for me

[keen skiff]

Seems like we're getting the same car more or less

[keen skiff]

Yeah nah I'm sorry this beats the Audi

Audi Livery is not bad but too minimalist

[south heron]

yeah

it's straight up awful because of that

[supple rapids]

this ^^^

[keen skiff]

I do understand why in a way; new regulations, weight factor, and your debut; keep things minimal and simple.as a start! however, red wings would have improved the look

[south heron]

only at an angle does it look even remotely good

[keen skiff]

Yup

[gentle pelican]

Or black wings

Black and red wings

Better

[keen skiff]

Or a fusion of both

The red should pop more on the car

Instead of pocket space on the side pods

The Audi Ring should've went flat on the side pods

It's just a livery

It's mid at best

Wouldnt be a bad look

Also after thinking it over,
Yeah I'm gonna rank Audi at the bottom of the 4 reveals, not great not terrible. Racing Bulls keeps 3rd

im kinda really loving this audi car

[distant fulcrum]

the audi car is unqiue but I could completely hate it tomorrow

[desert sundial]

I think it suits Audi tbh. Its like Audi's black silver and red vs Mercedes' black silver and blue

[rain stratus]

The only thing that super bothers me is im not sure if the other cars will but Haas and Audi dont have driver numbers on the back.

[nova whale]

ngl when I first saw the audi I thought it was the livery that they put in the 2026 regulations video

[keen skiff]

in fact, i kinda expect ferrrari, mercedes and mclaren to retain the same look

their liveries were pretty solid last year

[light scaffold]

Yeah that's chill

I just want to see it already I want the season to starttt

[gloomy wharf]

Seems that Audi isn’t putting too much effort into the livery so they can focus almost exclusively on the car and the team’s operations.

I’d do the same if I had an F1 team.

[light scaffold]

That's what I was thinking

And it doesn't look terrible just a bit plain

Ferrari hasn’t released there livery yet

[cold solar]

23 Jan will be ferrari livery release

[real mantle]

the 2026 teamwear is apparently slightly different so im holding out hope that they'll do something interesting

but i agree it'll probably be the same

wasn't there an interview with zak where he said that they never change the livery of a winning car or something like that

[keen skiff]

makes sense given the past 2 seasons

[fading timber]

I like Haas’s livery a lot but I do feel like they put a little too much white

[keen skiff]

im looking at their instagram, it just looks like merch, for all we know it could just mean newer race suits

which more or less doesn't reflect the car all the time

[main shuttle]

istg if its that instead of a white gradient they do a blue gradient

[real mantle]

i just hope it has paint on it 😔 to hell with 90% carbon fibre liveries

[novel loom]

Ahhhhhh

Tbh i like the race suits

Unless Ferrari go full blue

Red and blue will never rhyme

Ferrari is yellow ,why they even keep using red

Is Audi supposed to be red ?

They are not red white

[fast fable]

German colours.

[brisk harness]

-_-

Audi branding seems to be Black and dark orange

Their car livery is also Silver ,black and bit of Dark orange

I hope the role Color will adjust that fits it

I'm going to support Audi & Cadillac this season

mercedes and audi (auto union) were part of the og silver arrows in the 1920s-1930s btw

Hopefully It will Be a sponsor that fits the car

Unlike HP

[spare glacier]

The 2026 livery that Audi revealed is basically the concept livery with sponsors

[spare glacier]

The livery is ass but the car model is so clean

My wallet crys in help

[spare glacier]

Pretty slow tbh

Js an initial shakedown though so prob fine

[real heath]

LETS GOOOOO

[idle raven]

L audi for using an ai voice in the car reveal ngl

Literally no reason to do that

[tough veldt]

Imagine if it’s a clean sliver, black and cyan livery and then 4 GIANT coloured squares

[brisk harness]

$60M while not a Titular sponsorship ?

In-fact windows don't need to sponsor anyone

It is default you have to use their OS

To exist in this world

[timid python]

Entire countries are switching nowdays

Literally most french government PCs use a locally sourced Linux OS

I think that its virtually all of them

Only exception is the education system and their PCs if im not wrong because they use some tools from windows and are slow to switch, also the trend for windows has been pretty bad, they are slowly but surely loosing users

[stiff bough]

If you game sure.

But that's only because studios and publishers are too lazy to actually create decent anti cheat to fight against VM's being ran through linux, so they completely shut out support

[thin berry]

Are you sure they aren’t still on windows 98 because I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised

[vapid root]

Thats their livery? This is a joke right?

Like Thats no way their First livery is like that

[stiff bough]

this is like the most expected outcome of a livery they could have made

[gentle pelican]

Dw I thought the same way as you did

And yes it is their livery

[vapid root]

Their job was already done Bro, no fucking way they choke that, Theres a good livery launch by the fans

They only need copy 10=10

Why?

Why Just simple make this

I am having a brainfart

why do people keep sending that like it’s peak 🌚 it’s too red

[merry pecan]

Whats RB livery?

[vapid root]

Because at Least was pretty, not This abomination their delivery to us

Bro, so much potential, Just to launch a Europe flag livery

[topaz igloo]

Can’t wait until they do the update on F1 25 with the new cars and teams

Was Silverstone 2023 when McLaren brought their upgrades that eventually changed their future?

[brisk harness]

So so

[keen skiff]

I wonder how nimble and lighter the load transfer these cars will have around high-speed and slow corners with mgu-h taken out? 🤔

[brisk harness]

If they really turn green

It would be utly

Ugly*

[real mantle]

do you think any driver will go for a radically different helmet design

or will they all stick to something similar to what they had before

[icy chasm]

Livery will be the same 90% chance

The airbox MIGHT be a lil different at best

[real mantle]

yeah the merc race suits are the exact same so i do not have high hopes for the livery

[icy chasm]

And last year they did that whatsapp thing too

So that tells us nothing

Do you think the ferrari will have more white like the racesuits?

[real mantle]

at least the old mercedes livery is decent..... get ready for HPrarri version 2

[icy chasm]

Yeah...

Crazy how theres adults who haven't seen a ferrari WCC in their life, and Ferrari is still the biggest team

[molten needle]

I KNOW RIGHT

[drowsy tulip]

Half the table is fighting for the top 8

[molten needle]

fact that braca is at 9th is mad mad

[drowsy tulip]

Tbh it was that club brugge draw

[sudden bough]

everyone is under pressure

[drowsy tulip]

No one is resting players

Everyone is gonna be trying to score as many goals as possible

As the GD is crucial rn

[rancid vector]

Im ollie number% good

[brisk harness]

So where is WhatsApp Color ?

[round condor]

Yoo anyone onlinee??

🥲

[icy chasm]

They did the same thing last year, it doesn't mean anything

[brisk harness]

Lol main brand to represent before the reveal

But no actual color of the brand in the final touch

[icy chasm]

And it is EXACTLY the same!🔥

[silk root]

The backs nice tho

Just the hole front end of the car is the same as last year

[icy chasm]

And the year before

[dim torrent]

I like it tbh

It basically has gills

[storm wraith]

I honestly like that Merc keeps the same formula with small changes every year. It helps build and keep recognition. Signature Mercedes

Maybe I'm just an oldhead

https://tenor.com/view/i-want-you-to-get-the-word-out-there-that-we-back-up-the-wire-we-back-up-gif-27052207

[neat latch]

Also the FIA meeting just ended

They will do nothing about the engine trick

[topaz igloo]

Let’s go.! Max coming for that title

[neat latch]

Brother your airbox is a big as Hamilton's nose, and Mercedes isn't, why do you think that is

[topaz igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/the-rock-dwayne-johnson-gif-2497288502924750544

[neat latch]

Engine cooling

[topaz igloo]

Also that was lowkey racist as shit

[neat latch]

Ford is starving for air

How

No seriously how

How is it racist

[topaz igloo]

Everyone knows that stereotype

[sand valley]

somebody posted this in the ferrari server 💔

[long sapphire]

How do we tell em

[neat latch]

I already posted this

Also I'm genuinely don't know what you're talking about

[topaz igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/superbad-mc-lovin-cry-fogell-why-dont-you-cry-about-it-gif-15695318

[neat latch]

You're not helping

[azure vigil]

the top angle is the best

from the side it looks like a radiator

decent livery middle of the road 7/10

[misty badger]

the audi livery sucks….

[gentle pelican]

audi is prob the worst

[neat latch]

Look at it irl

Looks better

[calm perch]

When the cadillac leaks are real, i believe they have then the worst livery
Because it has so much potential

[neat latch]

Btw, Mercedes are close to the minimum weight

[calm perch]

Oh nice would be the third team the reach it, no

[neat latch]

Yeah

And the most dangerous for obvious reasons

[calm perch]

I mean when mercedes has the go from the FIA to run that engine with that trick its over

[neat latch]

They already have the go

But there will be protests from others

[calm perch]

Thought the FIA would be discussing it because of the many protests

[neat latch]

They already had the meeting

It was today

[calm perch]

Ok, then im slow sorry

[neat latch]

They decided to do nothing

So far ofc

[calm perch]

I swear when Honda does the same thing as 2015, im crying XD

[calm perch]

Thought that maybe because so many teams protested the FIA was going to do something

[neat latch]

You know how the fia is

[gentle pelican]

Bro mercedes year is not this year Cuz of fia 🙏

FIA might nerf the engine

Of merc

[neat latch]

They just said no

Can't you people read

[calm perch]

I hope they dont because merc engines are in the Williams

[neat latch]

Sorry

They said they weren't going to do anything

@gentle pelican it's still pretty much our year

So far

[gentle pelican]

People said that In 2022

I'm still worried

[neat latch]

This isn't ground effect

[gentle pelican]

Ik

[calm perch]

Its still the possibility just to quote josh revell „because FIA“

[neat latch]

This is an engine formula with flat floors

[gentle pelican]

Hopefully the W17 Dominates

And a good battle between George and Max

Or a diff driver

[calm perch]

Just hopping that the willies can profit off of it

[neat latch]

Kimi

[gentle pelican]

He still needs to learn more

I mean if he is Winning the WDC in 2026 that would be mental

[calm perch]

I mean he ranked through the feeder series‘ pretty fast, too fast imo

[neat latch]

Just keep an eye on him

New regs mean a fresh start

Could be an advantage for him

[gentle pelican]

We will see

[calm perch]

Yeah, i do because i believe he is gonna get that maiden win but the wdc is still a bit far i believe

I mean im half merc fan

[neat latch]

A few wins probably

[calm perch]

I hope

And i believe

[gentle pelican]

Alpine Williams and mclaren will have a advantage

And mercedes ofc

[stiff bough]

I'm sure Aston Martin is a lot better functionally than McLaren was, at the very least they're already better than 2015 inherently because

• they aren't being forced to join a year early
• likely aren't being forced to build an engine around an unfeasible chassis concept

all things considered the shit with mchonda was mostly on mclaren, not the other way around

[calm perch]

Ok, thought it was the other way around, sorry 😅

[stiff bough]

originally everyone did think it was all honda's fault

of course, you wouldn't know at first because japanese companies don't tend to publicly call out their partners

[calm perch]

But thanks for that info, now i know better

[misty badger]

FRRRRRR

i have a lot of expectations for Alpine and McLaren's livery

[stiff bough]

why

[misty badger]

idk hahahahaah

[stiff bough]

both of them usually have pretty poor liveries

like the mclaren when it had color was such a botched mess

[misty badger]

i like them…

but idk, its your opinion and i respect it

[steel mantle]

ur banner is frying me 😭

[keen skiff]

https://www.youtube.com/live/8NB767O3Nw4?si=1tOYgBJBcRAE4FiQ

[stiff bough]

Last years was fine, but when you got like 2022

this thing was awful

2024 was bad because the black was completely carbon fiber and half the car became even more bare mid season

[keen skiff]

I dont miss the blue

[stiff bough]

23 was also bad

0 flow

[topaz igloo]

it's crazy how much the blue ruins that

like just take that off and it looks great
