hi guys what are they testing

[topaz igloo]

cars

[tender spoke]

mercedes are surely sandbagging...right?

[grim anvil]

for soluble metals

[modest pine]

Yes

[distant crypt]

cool thanks!

[topaz igloo]

idk if anyone is sandbagging, they're just doing different runs

[quaint basin]

There’ll be sandbagging

no one reveals their hand in testing

[topaz igloo]

sure, but that's kind of what I mean by different runs

[quaint basin]

although you can make a general estimate on performance

[topaz igloo]

I cannot get over how good the Haas livery looks

[distant crypt]

i reckon colapinto

[topaz igloo]

E SPORTS LINE

[quaint basin]

only 2 seconds behind the slowest Q1 times of last season, whilst undoubtedly running a fair amount of fuel and or general sandbagging

I wouldn’t be surprised if pole is near a 2025 Q2 time

[distant crypt]

ENGLAND I KNOW HOW U FEEL I LOST MY QUEEN TOO (lewis hamilton)

[cyan saffron]

And people said these cars are slower than F2.

[quaint basin]

well whoever said that was ragebaiting

[modest pine]

Definitely not lol

[covert wraith]

not even close 😭

[snow swan]

and todays testing is about to end

[cyan saffron]

That literally were a lot said comments at the end of last year.

[topaz igloo]

Kimi locking up at 10 again lmao!!

[covert wraith]

they're even faster than the recent 3 second ish slower projections

we're gonna smash lap records in a few years i guarantee

[topaz igloo]

cant believe Max bottled that lap.. AHHH

[distant crypt]

verstappen 133 💀

[topaz igloo]

135 laps probably total for Max, which is crazy

[grim anvil]

yep by 2028 records are gonna be crushed by like 5 secs

[topaz flame]

er did anyone elses f1tv just stop

[tender spoke]

whats up with aston

[grim anvil]

aaaaand F1TV said no more I guess

[topaz igloo]

These cars are going to be fast

[snow swan]

bahrains day 1 testing is now over\

[untold wing]

wtf f1 tv

[topaz flame]

[sour hatch]

[modest pine]

Alright, switching to sky

[covert wraith]

well they're supposed to be doing one rn

[modest pine]

Final laps ☹️☹️☹️

[topaz igloo]

Verstappen long runs > Norris long runs

Copium

[snow swan]

ocon is top 4 somehow lol

[tender spoke]

Haas in P4 we are so back haas bros

[topaz igloo]

The new livery makes them faster

135 laps from Red Bull, incredible though

[worn mica]

F1tv is like one hour up? CUT

What’s up with that

[tender spoke]

did Hadjar do any laps?

[topaz igloo]

No, he has all day tomorrow

[tender spoke]

Ah i see

[topaz igloo]

And then they will split the day on Friday

[modest pine]

Ending the day with Norris in p1, bad omen

[worn mica]

Max sandbagged the second session

[brisk harness]

Norris is showing how it's done. The best driver Since 2025

[modest pine]

🤐

[tender spoke]

Is Aston cooked

[worn mica]

Well done

[carmine needle]

GP2 engine 2.0 incoming

[tender spoke]

😭

[scarlet warren]

Final laps

[modest pine]

Aston sandbagging even harder than Merc

[tender spoke]

at least the honda engines sounds kinda cool 😭

[brisk harness]

There is a reason that Norris is the champion

well deserved champ

[modest pine]

Yes, fastest car

[brisk harness]

and fastest driver, anyone who says otherwise is simply Sore loser prove me wrong

[snow swan]

https://youtu.be/3RIJfixY7Zo

[rapid horizon]

anything to discredit someone

unless it's daddy max ofc

[modest pine]

Fastest car + team orders

[brisk harness]

oh

[knotty mist]

Just nice to see the cars on track.

[tender spoke]

Ocon and Haas are winning it all this year trust

[urban zenith]

bahahaha

[brisk harness]

Max Verstappen still cant move on, no wonder max will nver win WDC again, Good good

[urban zenith]

🤣

you should at least charge people for your comedy come on man

[modest pine]

What are you yapping about?

[brisk harness]

im happy to see RBR / Max fans dont know anything about F1

[rapid horizon]

ay I'm not a max fan but not winning a wdc again? chill bro😭

[urban zenith]

well then you must be severely depressed based on that statement

[topaz igloo]

Max might win the WDC this year, but is definitely going to win it next year

[brisk harness]

not even close, skill diff

[lofty hill]

Ocon wdc 2026 🔥

[modest pine]

Norris scams one wdc and this is what we get bro

[lofty hill]

P4 in testing but its still p4 nonetheless

[cunning needle]

yo, how'd williams do?

[topaz igloo]

horrible

[lofty hill]

Alright

[cunning needle]

thanks for the input

[rapid horizon]

he was the most consistent driver last year

[topaz igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/i-gotchu-gif-22729913

[lofty hill]

Williams is above the two minardi drivers so its okay

[urban zenith]

audi really seems to be struggling

[ornate yarrow]

It's their first year...

[urban zenith]

yeah but they arent a startup though

[ornate yarrow]

It's natural

[urban zenith]

even cadillac seems more stable in a drivability sense

[cunning needle]

i was gonna ask how did cadillac do

[urban zenith]

not too good not too bad

[cunning needle]

thats fair

[urban zenith]

it was alright ig

[topaz igloo]

Cadillac looked like the back marker they're going to be

[next blade]

Anyone got ford sounds

[urban zenith]

fine testing though

[brisk harness]

The best driver in the world

[urban zenith]

ohh r u referring to the number 2 on the timing sheets? I agree.

Here is a compilation of Max Verstappen's long runs from Day 1 of preseason testing in Bahrain.

Productive day.

X · Feb 11, 2026, 3:43 PM

[brisk harness]

I agree

you know what you are talking about, Im glad you agree that Norris is the best driver even "Today's Test"

I mean it takes a guts for someone to admit such

[urban zenith]

what

[brisk harness]

i take it back, you dont even know your self

[urban zenith]

i think you should reread what i said muchacho 😭

[urban zenith]

so you don't find lando to be the best driver?

well now you're making sense 👍

[muted locust]

Lando great driver

[muted locust]

wouldn't be mad to see a back to back wdc though kimi is getting this year trust 💪💪 (coping)

[brisk harness]

"Past"

[urban zenith]

😁

[brisk harness]

im glad you agree, he is the past, Good job son

[urban zenith]

well your fella was champ last year too wasn't he?

[brisk harness]

correct, "Defending Champion"

[urban zenith]

well he will probably do as much defending as a 5 year old against ronaldo

[brisk harness]

last time I Check WDC is individiual achievement 🙂

[urban zenith]

it sure is

[brisk harness]

who's the champion again ?

[cunning needle]

yo ocon for 2026 wdc

[topaz igloo]

Man, Hamilton was super complain-y today

[urban zenith]

did you forget? well I agree last years champ is quite forgetful

[brisk harness]

im really enjoying talking to verstappen fans, they are the very epitome of zero knowledge about F1

it's enjoying to bully brainless kids.

[urban zenith]

is that so? what have I said that is wrong so far

[cunning needle]

🍿

[urban zenith]

i dont know what youre doing on your freetime but that sounds quite sick

you should get checked up by a psychiatrist for that

[brisk harness]

having the fastest car since round21, McLaren has Double DNF , Double Disqualification , a Blunder in Qatar , and still unable to replicate it

not skilled enough for 2025

[urban zenith]

since round 21? you do realise that that's four races right

4 vs 20 and only losing by a mere 2 points is more than your fav driver would ever achieve in that situation

[brisk harness]

yes , "Fastest" pit to podium with 3 Pit

[wet sequoia]

🍻

[brisk harness]

that's 45 seconds faster , this dude dont really know anything about F1 , Can't comprehend hahaha .

[vague crow]

Why does the order look basically the same as last year 😭😭

[brisk harness]

skills

[wet sequoia]

It’s testing, take everything with a pound of salt

[cunning needle]

yo guys, 2026 season is starting next month 🤯

[urban zenith]

well before you judge someone based on their knowledge of a sport you should clear up your writability so that I can even fathom what you're trying to puke out in that sad sad knowledge deprived head of yours

[brisk harness]

i would 50% agree, It's not Pound , it's Truck load
since it does matter

[urban zenith]

i dont know about you but that sounds like a compliment

might I add that your favorite driver even stated that he wishes to be more like max this week 😁

so i'd start sweating if I were you as I don't think you see that as something good

[brisk harness]

it is compliment, Redbull has the fastest car Since Round 21
They were 45-50 Seconds faster than the rest.

Except Can't replicate in the 3 other race?

[urban zenith]

what?

[brisk harness]

[urban zenith]

once again I don't understand what you're saying

like honestly I think you should reread what you've tried to state and then click post carefully

saves us both from an unnecessary headache

[wet sequoia]

I think you both need to leave before I get you both rule 1

[urban zenith]

well it's friendly banter from my side but I think I can clearly point out who made it personal

[modest pine]

It's just ragebait atp

[wet sequoia]

I’m aware who started it because he’s been done for rule 1 before but your feeding it now

[urban zenith]

so if I get muted or punished worse from that I can still wear my smile on my face no problem 😁

[urban zenith]

so be it

[lofty hill]

Lando is good but i will see what he can do before i fully judge him

[wet sequoia]

Won’t know anything until Melbourne next month

[signal silo]

lando fastest 😭

[lofty hill]

I just hope he gets the jenson button effect where he was a much better driver after winning the wdc

[signal silo]

https://tenor.com/view/please7tv-please-beg-pray-hope-gif-3860103425950934673

[urban zenith]

its testing dw

[muted locust]

fair enough

[wet sequoia]

In testing, which barely matters unless you have the run plans of all the teams

[modest pine]

Testing bro

[urban zenith]

one glory run and you'd probably knock any laptime out of the park that was set today

[lofty hill]

Toto wolff saying RBR has the fastest engine only for the Merc F-15 to win by 300 seconds in melbourne

[wet sequoia]

Basically, which no one wants to do because your opening the floodgate to teams ripping ideas from your car to replicate

[modest pine]

He's trying to make nice with everyone so they don't ban his engine

[urban zenith]

rbr failed to replicate the compression trick right?

[wet sequoia]

Tried and failed, so they dobed in Mercedes

[modest pine]

Yeah so they do the next best thing and snitch

[urban zenith]

👍

[lofty hill]

Banning engine is an impossibility icl, 4 teams and 2 major ones being barred cus Mercedes engineers are better than everybody else is funny

[acoustic crown]

Hey. I woke up an hour late after the first testing session was broadcast live for the final hour of the session. I have a legitimate Now TV subscription, I figured it would be worth asking you guys if you know anywhere where I can watch the full replay of the coverage that I missed, legally please

[wet sequoia]

Are you hacked?

[lofty hill]

Disqualification might not be even an option, theyd probably either get fined like Racing Point in 2020

[wet sequoia]

Or your internet is shit so it double posts?

[acoustic crown]

I think it bugged

[urban zenith]

😭

you can rewatch it on f1 tv

[modest pine]

Hey, Hey

[wet sequoia]

Check your subscription service, in Australia we have to use Kayo and we get replays

[acoustic crown]

I only have Now TV, F1 TV is geo blocked in the UK

[gentle pelican]

Cars look better than before

[wet sequoia]

You’ll have to get Sky Sports then

[urban zenith]

oohhh whered you find the onboard

[lofty hill]

Why is it black

[urban zenith]

the halo is full carbon

[wet sequoia]

It’s Navy

[acoustic crown]

Sky Sports is apart of the Now TV subscription but I can only use the Now App

[lofty hill]

All that blue just for it to look the same in 2025 💔

[urban zenith]

once again they left the halo unpainted

[gentle pelican]

im checking the pre season test wrap up day 1 live

[urban zenith]

to maximize the allocated minimum of 55% coverage

[modest pine]

It only looks like that when theres rainclouds

[acoustic crown]

I'm just honestly pissed because I missed so much vital information I don't even get to fucking deserve to call myself a fucking F1 fan

[wet sequoia]

You missed nothing

[modest pine]

Yeah, so much vital testing information, we already know how the whole season will go

[raven wagon]

Bro is pissed over 1 hr of missed coverage

[wet sequoia]

It’s testing, unless you have team run plans testing tells you shit

[lofty hill]

Its just testing, nothing much other than OCON WORLD CHAMPION 2026

[raven wagon]

Of a testing session

[gentle pelican]

i like how cadillac looks

[urban zenith]

i dont know im personally not a big fan

[forest maple]

Where can I watch for free y’all?

[urban zenith]

looks a bit like a knockoff unbranded f1 toy car made to replicate the new cars

i’m sorry but that sounds like a ferrari problem lewis

[silk forge]

also literally nothing happened during the whole session

[covert wraith]

something did happen

[acoustic crown]

Too late, Ted's note book was the entire 1 hour session just with ted instead

[silk forge]

what happened

[covert wraith]

cars drove in circles for hours

that sounds like something to me

[tranquil jewel]

Anyone seen any onboards?

[covert wraith]

we have seen quite a few onboards on the f1 broadcast

[tranquil jewel]

Any on yt yet?

[covert wraith]

they streamed a post testing show on youtube

somewhere in that you’ll find clips of onboards, i forget when exactly

[silk forge]

im pissed about nobody even setting laps on the broadcast

all the laps that were already there stayed there

[covert wraith]

the silver audi halo looks really cool

[stray pecan]

Honestly fully expected that to happen. Get the actual laps in before the broadcast hit then just do regular laps during the hour

[silk forge]

thats stupid

why wouldnt they want to show off a bit

[brisk harness]

what is the engine of Haas?

[modest pine]

Ferrari

[stray pecan]

To hide their performance until Australia

[golden vale]

Is the TV schedule posted somewhere? Its not in pins.

[modest pine]

Hope Isaack doesn't crash the car again

[vapid root]

I have a good feeling about hadjar, i expect he do a Lot better than Yuki and Lawson

red bull and cadillac are my fav liveries

[modest pine]

Same, +Haas

[grave parcel]

audi looks way better on track

the concept pics did it kinda dirty

[modest pine]

Meh, I remember when we saw the concept livery for Audi where it was like hot pink with black or silver. Too bad it didn't come true 😔

[serene bloom]

sure Haas also looks pretty good

[topaz igloo]

Haas is easily the best one

RB looks really nice too

Redbull for me, more colorful

We're getting a sprint in Singapore 💀

[lucid raptor]

These cars look so much better. Welcome back high rake

[gloomy wharf]

It took a bit for the Haas livery to grow on me because I liked their semi-black cars.

I also let the SF-26’s blob grow on me. Upon a second glance, the blob actually has some intentional shape to it.

[lavish ore]

nothing really looks good for aston

late, slow, little testing

i knew the glaze was excessive

[neat latch]

First day bruv

[lavish ore]

of course

[topaz igloo]

There is concerns for Aston

[neat latch]

Yes

[lavish ore]

but their first day looks astronomically worse than every other team's first day, not to mention they're late with car development

[topaz igloo]

You don’t want to get too caught up in things like Norris beating verstappen by .151, but there is certainly some real cause for concern with Aston

[limpid moss]

my favorite ones are haas and redbull

[frail apex]

I'm still calling it ERS and DRS idgaf

[brisk harness]

yeah no

[neat latch]

What are ya calling boost though

[frail apex]

DRS

[brisk harness]

boost is boost, why call DRS in the first place

[neat latch]

That would be a lie

[frail apex]

Wait boost is ERS

[frail apex]

See these new terms are useless

[neat latch]

There's overtake mode that's ers, boost is different to ers

They're not useless you're just confused

[somber copper]

isnt boost the old ers and overtake the thing that replaces drs?

[frail apex]

Should've just called is DRS 2.0 with dual wing movement

[spare glacier]

F1 have made an unneccesarily complicated and weird ruleset

[topaz igloo]

Should have called it DDRS

[frail apex]

They're trying to confuse the new American fan base. Vaild.

[topaz igloo]

Double DRS

[frail apex]

DDRS is my vote

[topaz igloo]

I think it’s fine and by the end of the year we’ll all be fine and comfortable with it

[frail apex]

Recharging is the exact same like what are we talking about

It's just where they store the energy.

[topaz igloo]

I don’t really think it’s that complicated, and drivers probably won’t by the middle of the season

[brisk harness]

camera or live via "Real eyes" dont work like that

[topaz igloo]

Dawg I watched the broadcast today, yes it does lol

[wild wren]

the cars sound good from onboard

way better than 2022-2025

[topaz igloo]

Sound better and look better

[somber copper]

it honestly looked amazing

much better than i thought it would

[wild wren]

the red bull looks fantastic from onboard too

[fervent laurel]

I wasnt feeling Red Bulls livery until today it looked sick!

[frail apex]

Okay but active aero should create more overtaking hey? Is that what the crowd is feeling? Lots of slinky movement.

[frail apex]

I'll have to watch the onboard, not enjoying it as much as the previous seasons.

[topaz igloo]

It should in theory but we’ll see how it works in reality

[topaz igloo]

LoOkS bLaCk

[wild wren]

its fantastic

clearly blue

[frail apex]

Hot take, that Red Bull ain't doing it for me. Merc > RB Racing.

[topaz igloo]

Yes, and this was very clear watching the broadcast too

I live Mercedes, but Red Bull clears for me. That said, nothing beats that beautiful Haas

I can’t wait to watch that sexy best run P11 and P14

[frail apex]

The RB looks a lot better on track than the renders. Haas and Cadillac take the cake for sure.

[wild wren]

the cadillac is the best livery i think

[frail apex]

The engines are not getting me hard y'all. Not happy about the 50/50 power deployment.

[wild wren]

they sound a lot better

from onboard anyway

Formula 1 (@F1)

A first look at all 11 teams on track 🤩

#F1 #F1Testing

X · Feb 11, 2026, 5:27 PM

The only ones I don’t like are Alpine and Williams

[frozen raft]

oh

[frail apex]

Don't let me down this year king. Beware of those penalty points king.

[somber copper]

when are his points getting cleared?

[grave parcel]

get those penalty points king

[somber copper]

because if he has to handle even 3 months so high in points i think hes 100% getting a race ban

[frail apex]

Man just wants Dohan back on track lmfao

[frozen raft]

gonna have to have Hirakawa or whatever his name is driving

Not Doohan 😭

[frail apex]

LMFAO

[grave parcel]

no 🙏 doohan and his ai startup can eat shit

[frozen raft]

I don’t want the Ferrari seat please say LH doesn’t retire

[frail apex]

They last for 12 months

[somber copper]

yeah but he didnt get them all at once

[frail apex]

He's gotta go til May 0 penalties.

[grave parcel]

lh dont retire also break up with kim k thanks

[somber copper]

damn

so we could potentially get doohan at suzuka

[frozen raft]

I’m not giving up my seat

[somber copper]

that would be fun to watch

[frozen raft]

For him to smash it into the barriers?

Just with a slightly faster car

[frail apex]

Those new front wings are funky

[covert wraith]

oh toto

[fervent laurel]

Also got to watch half of the testing during lunch, seemed like genuinly interesting stuff

[spare glacier]

i mean he's not wrong

[brisk harness]

McLaren , audi, and Cadillac has the best Livery

[spare glacier]

but he would be saying the same as the other tps in their place

[peak osprey]

Things to do after 136 laps in the car: Play Call of Duty with your gaming team 😭🤙🏻

Max Verstappen's gentles and ladies and gentlemen

[leaden cape]

Mcl imo is meh and Audi.. yeah no
I think caddy yeah, Haas, and either Racing bulls or williams

[teal ice]

So Lando came first today, or was it Verstappen?

The BBC were reporting Verstappen as the fastest.

[keen skiff]

Wanted to Do Final Rankings

HAAS 10/10 🏆 🆙
Red Bull 🥈 8/10 ⬇️
Cadillac 9/10 🥉 🆙

Mercedes 6/10 ⬆️
Audi 6/10 🔽
Aston Martin 7/10 ⬆️
McLaren 6/10
Alpine 6/10 ⏫
Williams 5/10
Racing Bulls 8/10

[peak osprey]

racing bulls with redbull logo

[keen skiff]

Oh I didn't notice hold on

There you go

[peak osprey]

Williams ain't bad thar's tuff

[keen skiff]

All things considered not a bad livery this year tbh. I only have gripes with about 3-4 cars

[keen skiff]

I put 5 not cause I think it's bad I'm just really split on it. It'll probably grow on me more during the season because I loved last year's livery as it was

[stray pecan]

Lando first, max second, Charles 3rd iirc

[keen skiff]

I thought Max clocked the quickest on speed trap?

[stray pecan]

Quickest on speedtrap but lando was quickest overall

[keen skiff]

Ahh I see

Do we have onboard footage of the Redbull? I want to hear the new engine

Concerning reports from Aston Martin though

[stray pecan]

Yeaaa. Dissapointing to hear about

[somber copper]

hopefully its just the ultimate sandbag

though it will likely be just gp2.0

[hallow tide]

I tried to post this but it didnt let me 😔

[silk forge]

it was shit

it wasnt interesting because the teams specifically did nothing during the broadcasted hour

[somber copper]

there were no radio broadcasts

[silk forge]

they got all the hotlaps in before the hour and during the hour the times barely changed

[zinc rock]

Toto: RBR have the fastest engine and its not close
Mekies: Mercedes have the fastest engine and its not close
Vasseur: We have a fast engine
Honda: Fuck our drivers😭✌️

[silk forge]

wdym fuck our drivers

did they actually say that

[keen skiff]

Oh Fernando didn't even drive?

[zinc rock]

No but theyre implying it by the way the car fucking breaks every time lance touches it

[keen skiff]

That's not good

[nimble basin]

honda bomb

[silk forge]

the lap times are roughly how the season could go in overall standings ngl

nobody is pushing but they all kinda fell into place anyways

with haas as a massive outlier

[keen skiff]

If we had to compare this to 2023 testing where was AM standing?

[south heron]

Merc seems a bit behind but yeah the averages look surprisingly realistic

[nimble basin]

right from day 1 they were up there but as they went thru the testing days they were a fruther back becuase of different run plants, etc. so its not fully representative but it just gives a sort of vague picture

similar to williams last year is what aston martin 23 were basically in pre sesaon

but the field was just so close so no 10 podiums or whatever they had

[timber ledge]

aston martin had to change the engine and they were racing with limited speed and only 30ish laps 💀

[silk forge]

rbpt somehow ending up so much better than honda is so funny

[south heron]

right

[silk forge]

so much for first year in the sport ford ecoboost engine

[south heron]

RBPT is looking pretty promising so far

at least the Aston car looks hawt

[real heath]

my dad told me about cadillac but not that esteban was 4th 💔

[topaz igloo]

It's so funny to me that Norris and Max finished top 2 today. It doesn't matter, but it is funny

[timber ledge]

40% of the previous regulation honda workers went to redbull instead to stay into honda, it probably made the difference

[silk forge]

sucks for them

should have stayed with mercedes

that honour goes to alpine now and they probably wont even make good use of it

[keen skiff]

Well Alonso hasn't driven yet so maybe they just have to tweak a few things for day 2

Although if Lance had a bad test it doesn't boast confidence from Alonso's POV

[warm zealot]

This is really interesting

We can't gather who's good or bad from these test periods but it's fun to see these things in action

[snow swan]

I hate this because of the random sound clipping and makes it feel like the video is lagging. https://youtu.be/VOY23cTNxJc

[warm zealot]

What sound clipping?

[dreamy cargo]

💀

[warm zealot]

You mean when the floor is touching the ground?

[lunar quartz]

tell me they broadcast tomorrow

[snow swan]

that's what it is? it sounds annoying to me lol

[lunar quartz]

i think they sound a little better????

idk hopefully alpine still have the distinct noise even with the merc engine

[timber ledge]

I dont think so, 36 laps ain't ideal at all, specially after how little runs they had in barcelona. Its a engine problem for sure, i saw multiple reports saying they were having cooling issues because of the mega compact design that newey did.

[timber ledge]

Might do might not

[snow swan]

i really like how the engine sounds with the air lol

[timber ledge]

The thing is Renault is pressuring for results, so they will invest hard this season

[lunar quartz]

wec programme is done by the looks of things too

[keen skiff]

Yeah I watched F1unchained bring up the cooling issues too which is......yeah not ideal for a day 1 at all 😬

Even on the car reveal day people were raising eyebrows over Alonso's mid season comments

[silk forge]

i've been saying that they'll be p3 in the constructors but their lap times in the preseason tests have not been exciting

[timber ledge]

Yup

[silk forge]

if they were actually fast then they would naturally be at the top

[timber ledge]

They are focused in long runs, they've said this before testing

[keen skiff]

Barge board hitting the pavement apparently

[warm zealot]

Looks like the car is bouncing

[silk forge]

hmm

[timber ledge]

Agree, they probably didn't had problems with the temepratures in barcelona because it was freezing but in Bahrein its hard to disimulate it

[warm zealot]

That's not clipping, that's what he said

[timber ledge]

Also, did you saw the engine cover they had?

[warm zealot]

I doubt it

[timber ledge]

They had cooling issues with this

[keen skiff]

Ohh right didn't catch that

[warm zealot]

You can't put stock on lap times in testing

[timber ledge]

probably tomorrow gasly will do better laps, and then franco the last day too

[warm zealot]

Especially day 1

[keen skiff]

Maybe something they need to assess overnight?

[timber ledge]

Probably, but i think its all concept problem, so compact that increases the temperature

[silk forge]

you can say lap times in testing dont matter yet in the results from today the top team are at the top and the worse teams are at the bottom

[lunar quartz]

a shame they were getting better

[silk forge]

its not a coincidence

haas and mercedes are the major outliers

[timber ledge]

Yes, a really shame. But viry were in problems even before this, they cut their f1 program last year too

[warm zealot]

We don't know what flat out everybody places we know what sandbagging places (also it's kinda blatantly obvious that bull and mclaren would be up there it's just everybody will remain a question mark)

[silk forge]

its blatantly obvious that toto wolff is shit-stirring and sandbagging the cars

[sudden bough]

real shit

[timber ledge]

Also probably mercedes are hiding the real performance of the engine bcz of the 18:1 compression thing, they want to look weaker than they are

[warm zealot]

Literally exactly this

[sudden bough]

im crine did strolls car spontaneously combust when he entered

[warm zealot]

Yes do you wanna see it exploding?

[sudden bough]

why did aston do so few laps

[warm zealot]

https://tenor.com/view/explosion-boom-car-explosion-explode-fire-gif-14275311

[timber ledge]

engine problems

[warm zealot]

Engine was tweakin

[sudden bough]

gp2

[warm zealot]

Not even that it just perished

[sudden bough]

solid pace from audi but they also had some issues iirc

[timber ledge]

yeah

[warm zealot]

Caddy is a big question mark

[sudden bough]

didn’t colapintos car also stop working randomly

[silk forge]

audi was kinda slow but i doesnt mean much

[sudden bough]

their car seemed a lil unstable

[warm zealot]

Yeah it went on strike

[silk forge]

its not

[sudden bough]

bottas perez were locking up everywhere

[silk forge]

cadillac will be more than a second off the pace of the next worst car

[timber ledge]

yeah it was something electrical/sensor, they fixed it in an hour tho

[warm zealot]

What I mean by that is not if they're the slowest but how slow and can they get better as we go through testing and the season

[silk forge]

i see

[sudden bough]

anyways they got a solid number of laps with pierre

[warm zealot]

It's like abundantly obvious to the point you could see it from space that they'd be slow

[sudden bough]

haas have been meeting targets well

[warm zealot]

How slow is my question

[timber ledge]

yup, i expect 100s laps from pierre tomorrow and 100s from franco last day

[sudden bough]

they havent had any rlly big issues

[silk forge]

i'm naturally drawn to midfield teams so im stuck here supporting audi while knowing they wont actually do anything

[sudden bough]

williams in the test

[warm zealot]

Random race podium in the rain

[silk forge]

but IMAGINE the joy when they actually do do something

[sudden bough]

didnt seem too bad

[silk forge]

it is something that the red bull or mclaren fan will never feel

[silk forge]

🙏

[warm zealot]

We should test at monza

Just for fun

[keen skiff]

F1tv?

[timber ledge]

yeah last hour is live

[silk forge]

this is the reality we live in

[keen skiff]

Cool

[silk forge]

the best laps we're gonna get to see are 3 yellow sectors

is someone gonna feel pity and do an actual hotlap on the broadcast

[sudden bough]

ocon did

sorta

ts is peak

[keen skiff]

Seeing the shorter front wings is an odd feeling

[silk forge]

he didnt have all green sectors either

[halcyon kraken]

which team has the highest top speed as of now?

[azure falcon]

lindblad consistently out performing carlos is my take away

[sudden bough]

anyways

suboptimal

[zinc rock]

Look at the fucking wheel

[sudden bough]

the car doesnt turn

[zinc rock]

W gearbox😨

[ionic sphinx]

Guys

Who will carry in 2026?

[sudden bough]

alonso shaking in his boots realizing he might be driving gp2 again

(please honda i dont need this)

[ionic sphinx]

I think:
MCL is hitting hard and Redbull too

[sudden bough]

merc are sandbagging i can feel it

[zinc rock]

Stroll’s deadass had a good car for 10% of the races hes participated in

[azure falcon]

at some point i swear when he was full tilt, wheels were pointed different directions

[snow swan]

sack stroll esteban and gasly

[sudden bough]

perez dont bin the car please 🙏

[keen skiff]

Bare minimum I want Russell vs Max for 2026
It's up in the air for McLaren but I think we gucci

[zinc rock]

Zoink jumpscare

[ionic sphinx]

I feel like he can be faster on that corner.. ngl

[zinc rock]

holy french hate😭✌️ might as well group in hadjar

[snow swan]

Yesterday verified orbit and then RobTop gave it a rating?

[zinc rock]

yes

[snow swan]

Orbit will be around top 10 in most lists right?

[zinc rock]

yes

[snow swan]

full clip

the lap sectors time header is now centered lol

[keen skiff]

hope they update the mics to reduce the floor bits

and we need more dash cam in race footage

[snow swan]

I don't hear any from this

i like the engine sound clashing with the air resistance

[keen skiff]

the mics in testing sound like its away from the engine?

Sky Sports F1 (@SkySportsF1)

Lewis Hamilton says Ferrari's failure to appoint a new permanent race engineer for him ahead of the 2026 Formula 1 season will be "detrimental" to his second campaign with the Italian team 👀

X · Feb 11, 2026, 5:49 PM

Is there anything he didn’t complain about today?

[keen skiff]

he's been reportedly viscious about the new regulations

no drs that is kind of a whole new playing field even for him

[snow swan]

he's gonna worry he's gonna have to manage more tire management due to active aero and also battery power

[keen skiff]

i assume it was charles that clocked the timesheets over lewis in the test?

[snow swan]

lec is p3 and ham dropped from p6 to p7

[gloomy wharf]

Was that just a humdrum lockup, or does it have atrocious understeer??

[keen skiff]

tbf that is kind of a eyebrow raise at this stage in the year

[lavish ore]

i mean this is a pretty major thing to be upset about

[topaz igloo]

I understand it

[lavish ore]

ferrari's incompetence is going to be putting HIS performance on the line again

[topaz igloo]

But good lord he complained a lot today

[gloomy wharf]

2027 IS THEIR YEAR.

[stray pecan]

How does he not have a race engineer

[lavish ore]

why on earth is the oldest team in f1 not able to get a 7x champion a permanent race engineer

[keen skiff]

yeah like wtf

[lavish ore]

like the jokes just write themselves at this point

[lavish ore]

lewis is an emotional guy naturally

[snow swan]

Ferrari is so ignorant

[wet sequoia]

Because it’s Hamilton who thinks the world revolves around him and Ferrari who have a superiority complex about knowing best

[snow swan]

did Charles say anything today or?

[keen skiff]

cars from this angle look like spaceships

[snow swan]

more like a bathtub

[stray pecan]

Havent seen anything tbh

[wild elbow]

Looking at the onboards only, the only team that has a significant difference from last year is Ferrari imo

Just the onboards

[wild elbow]

Why is the oldest and most successful team in f1 not able to make a championship winning car for 18 years

[lavish ore]

Should ask them

[wild elbow]

Lewis said parting ways with Adami was a “difficult decision” 😭

[ionic sphinx]

Guys is it just me or it is sad that Isaac didn't drive on day 1? I mean, does he check the tellemetry of max to see how he drives and how to become fast like him? I mean it's sad that he didn't drive...

[snow swan]

Isack will be driving tomorrow

[topaz igloo]

He gets an entire day tomorrow, it’ll be fine

[ionic sphinx]

I hope so

He is one of my favorite❤️ so I hope he doesn't fall like Tsunoda

[gloomy wharf]

The Audi looks like Gabriel piloting an old fashioned steel missile.

[topaz igloo]

Gets some data from the run today, gets to run an entire day tomorrow. Should be good to see. Hopefully no issues

[snow swan]

He won't because the asses of Marko and Horner are gone, Mekies is good

[sudden bough]

Audi has a rlly good onboard

the blurry photo doesn’t do it justice

[snow swan]

Audi's Pov is just full black and audi logo red xd

[ionic sphinx]

Still redbull luck is there

[snow swan]

wonder who's Isack race engineer

[neat latch]

F1 teams always sugarcoating words

[hearty spear]

What happen to the McLaren engineer that they are supposed to get?

[snow swan]

ex McLaren engineer? or you mean andrea stella

[hearty spear]

The ex engineer

[covert wraith]

gentlemen...

[rose sable]

Can anyone send me 20$ hungry asff

[echo urchin]

Can anyone also send me 40mil so i can buy a mansion

[robust owl]

I guess, Hamilton wants make drift

Lol

[ocean bay]

[winter scarab]

can anyone send me 100 billion dollars so i can buy ferrari and sell them to hp

[muted locust]

Rewatching today’s testing. Let’s go!!

[sudden bough]

ive looked through the testing replays a lil

i swear whenever i see a caddy onboard the car looks like its on the verge of a lockup or snap

[topaz igloo]

They had a lot today lol

But then again, so did a lot of teams. Kimi felt like he had a bunch too

[sudden bough]

haas has kept it very clean

racing bulls too

[hearty parrot]

The Final hope

[brisk harness]

The truuth is , Audi's Livery has been amazing so far

top 3 livery behind Just Williams and Cadillac outerspace livery

[covert wraith]

audi also got the best sounding car imo

[echo urchin]

I saw an onboard of checo i think on YouTube through t1-3 and it looked so snappy

[topaz igloo]

I wonder why Audi was only getting up to gear 7 when we saw the onboard

[vocal lynx]

low engine mode most likely

mclaren were reaching 8th gear on the fastest time of the day

[silk forge]

they have a lot of work in the next few years

[topaz igloo]

Yup, I saw most of them getting there besides Audi

I’m sure Aston probably wasn’t wither

[elder cosmos]

What is this? Some kind of testing in the pre season?

[silk forge]

well yes lol

[topaz igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/dumb-and-dumber-jim-carrey-duh-uh-yeah-lloyd-christmas-gif-7940001541646448846

[silk forge]

happens every year

[elder cosmos]

What’s with this new active aero? Some kind of drag reduction system?

[silk forge]

it is a system that reduces drag on straights for more acceleration while keeping downforce in corners for grip

👍

[elder cosmos]

So it’s a drag reduction system

[silk forge]

yes mate its a drag reduction system

[elder cosmos]

What is this? some kind of server of server on discord?

[silk forge]

please be funnier 😭

[elder cosmos]

What is this? Some kind of insult?

[topaz igloo]

My god, the amount of people complain about the regs. Lol

They seem fine to me and the cars are only going to get better. People cry about everything these days

[gloomy wharf]

Since Lewis is a much better person than Ye, will he help turn North West’s life around?

[covert wraith]

i find it so funny how people complained that the races were all about the car performance for years

and now that the drivers have more tools as part of their skillset people are complaining that they're not just pushing flat out anymore

[paper nimbus]

I hope it doesss

[fallow plume]

This dating phase wont last this entire season lol

[vagrant steeple]

in barcelona they were like a second and a bit off record pace

i think they're gonna be fast enough if we just give em some time

[warped compass]

red flag

[azure vigil]

Perez

he’s stopped near turn 11

Green

[visual kite]

So whos coming out for testing day 2???

[visual kite]

And for testing day 3???

[spark pond]

Probably won't know till after today's testing

[azure vigil]

the only thing we can assume right now is that
Piastri is doing all day tomorrow
Hamilton is also doing all day tomorrow

[visual kite]

Right thanks guys

[cold pulsar]

What has happened in Day 2 so far?

[cold pulsar]

Incident wise

[spark wind]

Aston seems to have power issues, nothing more notable from what ive seen

[cold pulsar]

The honda engine is cooking, again

Its the Mp4-15 all over again

[spark wind]

Red bull was having issues too, but hadjar did 1 lap, so cant be that bad
Mercedes had smth

[scarlet warren]

End of morning session

[fervent laurel]

Sang 1.34, that seems kinda of insane!

[fervent laurel]

Mercedes hasn't been out at all? I know they had an issue yesterday, but seemed ok

[scarlet warren]

Apparently they were changing engine

[cold pulsar]

The hell are aston even doing

[cold pulsar]

Are broadcast times same as before?

[fervent laurel]

It looks like Mercedes is still not out 😭😭😭

[hazy cobalt]

Anyone seeing the pre season??any new updates??

[marble lark]

[fervent laurel]

According to the app they are still in the pit. Seems odd

If i remember correctly they did have a suspension issue yesterday at least according to the commentary, but I thought they were still out there

[glad flume]

Engine issues apparently

[cold pulsar]

Day 2 really a snoozefest

[fervent laurel]

Oh womp womp

[topaz igloo]

[topaz igloo]

Now we got Vowles saying Red Bull is the best? The glazing is out of control!

[scarlet vessel]

Hey guys how's testing

[topaz igloo]

Ferrari title confirmed

[scarlet vessel]

Why?

[topaz igloo]

72 laps today and fastest of the week so far belongs to Charles.

They’re back.

[scarlet vessel]

Naw they always have the fastest laps during practice sessions and then have absolute shit qualis and races ferrari having the fastest lap never means anything

[sudden bough]

what’s happened so far

[topaz igloo]

So many cars out on track!

[steel garnet]

Audi has been getting some really good running in compared to Caddy

[snow swan]

how's Hadjar doing guys?

[sudden bough]

caddy onboards from day 1 make me think the cars gonna snap at any second

[steel garnet]

I didn't see any of those, but yeah all signs point to a rough freshman year for them (as expected).

I like that Audi is going for something non-traditional with their sidepods, may as well just send it for year 1.

[sudden bough]

audi so far has had some issues but when they dont have issues they get good running in

[covert wraith]

seems like lindblad is testing the car in dirty air

he just got past carlos but he was behind him for several laps

red flag

[sudden bough]

for what

[steel garnet]

whatever it was is already clear

[hollow mesa]

They stated there was debris on track

[sudden bough]

BOTTAS NO

[steel garnet]

lmao it was a foretelling

[hollow mesa]

BOTTAS WDC THEN, COMEBACK OF BRAWN GP?

[topaz igloo]

Did they just randomly fall off or did he hit something? 💀

[hollow mesa]

Hello gasly

[hexed pilot]

Uh oh

[fossil goblet]

[hexed pilot]

[fossil goblet]

main straight, just before T1

def a day to forget for Mercedes and Mercedes powered teams

Ferrari are the most reliable, this year is the fucking years bois and gals (let me be happy until Melbourne pls 🙏🏻)

[neat latch]

I'm not liking what I'm hearing about the Honda engine

[topaz igloo]

Not a great start

Didnt realize Norris got all day today

[stray pecan]

They already benching piastri smh

[topaz igloo]

Wonder if any drivers that arent going tomorrow are going to push at the end of the day

[sudden bough]

[marble lark]

[slender inlet]

Sainz up to 11th

[lost crane]

[slender inlet]

[topaz igloo]

Hadjar putting in faster laps than Norris on hards right now. Red Bull domination

[slender inlet]

0.37 faster than nico huuuuuuuuuuuulkenberg

[elder cosmos]

Bearman p5, my goat

[slender inlet]

Haas cooking arc

Ocon is like 4th yesterday too

[topaz igloo]

We need more info on the pace of long runs. I'd rather have that than just info on one single lap they are pushing

Like, Hadjar's long run lap times right now seem pretty good

[cold pulsar]

Fuck

[marble lark]

is leclerc still on the lead?

[cold pulsar]

Alonso you can do it

Channel your inner F2010

[elder cosmos]

I just feel bad for nando

[topaz igloo]

Yes, he has the fastest lap of the day

[stray pecan]

Believe so

[lost crane]

https://tenor.com/view/fernando-alonso-mclaren-gp2engine-gif-25406294

[elder cosmos]

He deserves better

[marble lark]

Ferrari is so back

[elder cosmos]

Ferrari engines are so back

[sudden bough]

ferrari engines have been reliable

[cold pulsar]

I will NOT let the thoughts of Pre-season test of all things hit me in any way. Alllll abroad the Alonso Hypetrain!

[runic flint]

How’s preseason testing?

[dry quiver]

leclerc still on top

[sudden bough]

many reliability issues

rn leclerc is p1 norris p2 russell p3

[fossil goblet]

When Fernando got out of the car, he threw his gloves away.. he was NOT happy

[sudden bough]

Aston Martin reportedly considers the Honda power unit to be "really bad" both currently and for the start of the 2026 season. 😨

Honda is already working on its next engine project. It also appears that Honda expects to receive significant support from the ADUO, a program designed to provide additional development opportunities to engine manufacturers experiencing performance challenges.

Le Sprint (@LeSprintEdition)

ℹ️. Aston Martin évaluerait le groupe motopropulseur Honda comme étant « vraiment mauvais » actuellement et pour le début de la saison 2026. 😨

Honda travaillerait déjà sur le projet moteur suivant. Il semblerait également qu’Honda s’attende à recevoir beaucoup d’aide de la part

X · Feb 12, 2026, 1:49 PM

WTF, the we are so back to it's so over is quite incredible

[modest pine]

That's actually hilarious

[next stag]

The dream is dead 😭

[modest pine]

Newey washed

[next stag]

This is a GP2 engine not a newey aero fail

[modest pine]

Lance Stroll washed

[scarlet vessel]

Alonso gonna be in f1 forever at this point

[azure falcon]

🆗 leclerc

[steel garnet]

Holy crap - terrible

[lost crane]

so true lmao. Apparently he's gonna sign a new contract for 2027

[neat latch]

60 yo Alonso racing alongside alonso Jr we will be there

[next stag]

He said he would if this year was bad
So yeah 1 more year

[steel garnet]

side note - leclerc has run nothing but soft tires all day long

[lost crane]

Alonso is so unlucky. Honda cook for RB but AM is pure garbarge

[next stag]

No engine freeze cooks Honda I guess

[modest pine]

I need Asston Fartin and Merc to lock in, can't have another year of papaya rules dominance

[neat latch]

If this is Ferrari's year i will chew my foot off

[steel garnet]

honda screws themselves by stepping back every time and thn changing their mind and coming back, losing ALL momentum every time

[next stag]

You might get the second part of that. Aston Faston are NOT coming back (said as an aston fan )

[modest pine]

Or Redbull Ford (I'm delusional)

[steel garnet]

Lewis WDC again lol

[neat latch]

Brother if Ferrari is good it's Leclerc who's going to come on top

[lost crane]

Mercedes will cook trust

[next stag]

Nah they look good (Max being max is deluding me)

[steel garnet]

I say it mostly because it would just be such a thing to Ferrari fans who always get screwed, that their guy from Day 1 misses out in favor of the turned Mercedes man

But also Lewis seems to prefer this aero reg more.

[modest pine]

I know Toto is full of shit but Max and everyone glazing RBR got me feeling good and shit

[lost crane]

In a interview Alonso literally said that the beginning of the season will be "challenging" and he is looking forward to the second half

https://tenor.com/view/mc-laren-formula-one-gif-10364118

[modest pine]

Oh true

[hearty spear]

GP2 Engine.....GP2.....

[next stag]

Yeah and Newey said the same thing
But watching a shitbox for the first half is just going to suck

[modest pine]

Aghhhh

[neat latch]

At this point it's not funny anymore dude

[lost crane]

No shit. I can't keep supporting AM. My freinds keep bullying me for that lmao

[lost crane]

[next stag]

Yeah

[modest pine]

Support AM but in endurance and you're good

[lost crane]

I know nothing about endurance. Idk how season work and idk how to watch

It's very niche

[next stag]

I wouldn't say very but yeah I'm in a similar boat

[modest pine]

Imsa on YouTube and wec on its site

[hearty spear]

I like the AM Valkyrie

Idc if it doesn't score points

[modest pine]

It sounds sexy af

[lost crane]

I feel weird wearing my AM F1 toque when Lawrence and his wife are in the nono files

[next stag]

Supporting AM is tough because of Shitboxes and having a 1.5 driver team (2 when it's raining). Stroll is overhated because he never locks in or is motivated. Looks to have given better feedback in testing already though so maybe he wants to be here this year

[lost crane]

let's pretend like nothing happen

[next stag]

Yeah I don't like that

[azure falcon]

oh- 😍

[next stag]

Same for alpine they have briatore (No surprises there lmao)

[lost crane]

Fr? Damn the goat of f1 is there

[lost crane]

true, a new one came out? Look very sexy

[hearty spear]

I hope they do better in WEC

[carmine needle]

Crofty’s back

[manic sable]

last year wec was free to watch on their youtube's official channel in latin america :D

but idk if they'll do the same this season

[modest pine]

Testing is finally broadcasted

[hearty spear]

24 hours in Daytona was goated

[modest pine]

Foggy
