or maybe Andretti would buy Renault engines, but then you're back to them just being another backmarker

That's why F1 pushed them out of 2026 entry
FOM wants Andretti to be in the sport by 2028 which is when Cadillac is also expected to have an engine ready
dusk jay
I think rejecting Andretti in order to stall long enough to raise the anti-dilution fee in the next Concorde Agreement is bullshit
rejecting Andretti because the Cadillac engines aren't ready is not bullshit at all

iirc, the FIA had no interest in allowing another team that would just fight it out with the other tractors. It's a sport, but it's also entertainment so I guess I can understand their POV
golden scaffold
yeah but at the same time it's requiring them to go through the development process without a 100% guarantee that they will be able to join after all that
dusk jay
well and small backmarkers are also a poor business decision
as strong as Andretti's bid may appear, they don't want to bring in a new team only for them it to go bust like Manor
or Caterham or one of the Lotuses or whichever, which also went down without finding a buyer

Honda made changes to the engine and powertrain back in the Winter break of 2023-2024. They're allowed to do this, and increase reliability of the engine, but not power
Honda was surprised at how wild the changes were once the RB20 was fully revealed
tardy socket

Everyone was
It was a bet on a very experimental platform rather than a safe bet, nobody knew if this new concept would actually work but it does
that helps extend the performance lead for RBR for a couple more years now

was listening to Shift F1 this morning and yeah apparently Ferrari is the only credible option to him
at least, I believe their synopses
evidently Newey doesn't think much of Toto and doesn't believe at his age that trying to turn around Merc is a good use of time
he gets along great with Zak but thinks McLaren doesn't have their shit together either
and thinks the Strolls are gauche, doesn't want to pump up Aston Martin's value only for Lawrence "Corporate Turnaround" Stroll to sell off the whole thing
and ofc no other teams have the budget or personnel to cobble together a championship-winning car even if they could afford Newey
so that kinda just leaves Ferrari
dusk jay
wow
could've told you it'd be mostly red
but why is every blue element a different shade
the HP logo does it no favors either

Ferrari pulled a Ferrari and tried to appease their new partner while also trying to lean into an obscure part of their heritage, resulting in a design that captured neither and looks generally mid

Honda says everything's going as it's intended. Currently they're focusing on the electrical components like battery and electric motor design, and the engine's current state is down to a single cylinder concept
This is different to RBPT's current plan as the folks at RBR already developed a function V6 before looking at how they'll tackle the electrical systems
I feel like what Honda's plans are for the F1 PU are a good idea since a lot of the issues relating to the 2026 engine rules comes down to how capable the electrical components
It's already been clear that the Honda PU in the current regulations tops the charts because it has such a robust electrical system, so keeping up with the technology will only strengthen your entry into the 2026 rules
Plus the designers for Honda engines will likely have it all under control if the timeline isn't rushed — something that shot Honda in the foot when partnering with McLaren back in 2015–2017
tardy socket
Honda looks legit, ngl
I was always wondering how RB pulled off RB Powertrains but looking at the wiki article, Honda really never left F1
The company was formed in 2021 to take over the operation of Formula One power units developed by Honda from 2022 onwards following the Japanese manufacturer's withdrawal from the sport after 2021. Honda continued to support the Red Bull-owned teams in 2022 and will do so until the end of 2025.[4][5][6] Honda assembles the power units and provides trackside and race operation support. The power units remain Honda's intellectual property, and due to a development freeze, Red Bull Powertrains will not develop them.[7][8]
golden scaffold
even after 21 the rb cars still had a small hrc or honda logo on them
tardy socket
Yeah I knew that. I always wondered how much of the Honda operation RB took over
Like how much personnel and so on
But IP is all Honda and they still design and manufacture it in Japan. So what does RB Powertrains really do
Maintenance and installing in the car?
dim tide
RBPT is responsible for the operations really, and the facilities in the UK for that operation of the engine were sold off as well as some UK design facilities
the design facilities have helped RBPT prepare for 2026, and they've expanded upon them
...[Convince] Newey to join him in time for Lewis Hamilton’s arrival.
The timing of Newey’s availability is not perfect in terms of hitting the ground running with the new 2026 car rules, as much of the design concepts will already be in place by the time he can provide his input.
However, it still comes early enough for Newey’s influence to be felt and potentially have an impact in how things shake up for F1’s new rules era.
I still think Audi has the money and influence to support a Newey presence
It's like the only competitor to a Ferrari bid
glad hound
the design facilities have helped RBPT prepare for 2026, and they've expanded up...
And they only did that because honda went "Welp, we quitting F1 forever, good luck."
Bet horny was hopping mad when they changed their mind way too late to re-sign with RBR for 2026
dim tide
Nah he was just like "screw you, we've decided to be independent" and the decision held especially as RBR was dealing with Porsche deals

On the idea of Tsunoda being put into Aston Martin:
"We still don't know what Aston Martin's line-up will be like," Watanabe weighed in. "Alonso has been confirmed, but I have not yet heard that Stroll has been confirmed.
"I don't think there is a zero chance of that happening, so I think there is a possibility of that happening at this point."

Never expected Yuki to go to the RBR team because he's Honda's man, not redbull's

For anyone who missed it:
A report came out that the RBR was damaged and had a hole in the floor, which explains why Verstappen was so down on pace even on the hard tires. This hole most definitely came from him mistakenly going wide and over the bollard -- likely using the lower base to create the hole.
So while it's still clear that the RB20 was the faster car that weekend, Verstappen ultimately handed the win to Lando Norris based on skill issue

Oh man… Max memes are going to be insufferable this season

he was pushing yeah, but not well enough to challenge Verstappen
simply a skill issue at that point
that's what makes a good driver, being able to keep up at the absolute limits without going too overboard to kill your tires or go over the traction limit and having to correct oversteer that kills time :V
it's only something Lando can look at and just
learn from
¯_(ツ)_/¯
tardy socket
F1 is always a combination of strat, car and driver. How are you going to judge one factor if it's this close? He did all he could. You can always say "drive faster" but that's all he was capable of. It's clear that mclaren was planning to have Lando out before Checo and that didn't happen. This is easier to fix than making Lando drive faster
dim tide
I'm not saying drive faster, silly
I'm saying Lando was under pressure and wasn't able to keep the car under control for several moments
Lando wasn't driving smarter !!
tardy socket
But that is just one part of the equation. The car could've been a second faster over the stint, the strat could've been better timed. You can't put all of it on the driver when it's all three that makes a driver win the race. They didn't race on equal term, the cars aren't completely equal, there was traffic and Lando started the race at P2. Under pressure, everyone is prone to make mistakes. Even Max had a few bad exits and got a flag for track limits.
tardy socket
We he didn't. That's all he could muster
I'm not saying that Lando drove better
But hindsight it would've been easier to let him pit 1 lap later
dim tide
He could do better by not making mistakes like that under pressure and it's only something he can learn from really
I mean he's capable of consistent af and holding strong pace
Miami proves such
pressure makes diamonds, basically, and this race will only create a better Lando even if he didn't win
these mistakes cost him the win because he had all the cards lined up and made minor errors trying to keep up while under pressure, but that only means he'll come back smarter for the next time this happens

F1 is like that normally
very rarely will you have a race where the top 2 are fighting for the entirety of it, best case scenario they'll actually help each other out with a tow in order to get away from the pack before fighting at the end
only way to make things higher stakes is to lower the amount of time they can compete and find a nice balance of having to conserve yourself and push yourself
that is unless you want to bite into the fruit that all other open-wheel series have which is to go spec

Can’t say I agree with that. Piastri in B tier? Hamilton (washed-up-on-the) Beach in A tier? Tf is this guy smoking
dim tide
Hamilton has made decent recoveries
I think his qualifying ability is starting lack, and so I'd personally put him at A as well
Russell down into B since he hasn't show his ability to do something as good as his 2022 season and often finds himself finishing behind Hamilton now
Piastri I'd move up a place
I'd also move Perez up because he still maintains pace in the higher points area, and that's where the team would want him, but there are now some possible options that could prove better than Perez
also move Magnussen down

tardy socket
I think Mclaren had made up most of the gap to RBR but we'll have to see how close they can get on a track that's favourable to RBR. Perez underperforming might help the runner-up with the right strat
We'll see. Max still is the favourite to win ofc
But next season it's closer hopefully
dim tide
Yes, VCARB is still registered as Italian
Anyways VCARB are looking at how they can improve their race starts since this race highlighted how they eventually got caught up behind Nico Hulkenberg and had to run a long stint by pitting before him
creating a very risky but doable last 15 laps where both Ric and Tsu had to manage tires
General media still doesn't seem to be into the prospect that Yuki Tsunoda is of worth to VCARB or RBR despite many recent comments congratulating his driving ability and his status of holding 15 out of the 20 points VCARB currently has

idk I didn't care in the first place 
the evidence that was provided was sloppy, no one had initial confirmation of what exactly happened
all I remember is the team was considering suspending Horner for a while due to some aggressive action that could've either been related to SA, but could've also been related to harsh standards and goals, and many of the RBR team members came about saying they had no clue what even the media was saying
it's just a mess, and ultimately nothing really came up besides some people saying there was a power struggle at RBR as the main issue
Newey's leave in the ongoing 'situation' is mainly on the fact that Newey no longer enjoys the team dynamic at play and he also made a statement in an interview with Motorsport.com that he really needs to take a break cause he's in such a fortunate position to no longer need to work
of course he then went on to say he could join another F1 team as early as 2026, but the contracts for him haven't been signed and there's still room for him to be on hiatus as an engineer for 1-2 years at the least

It doesn't ban it, it allows the stewards to take action if they believe it's being used to dangerously push another driver when braking
glad hound

Or maybe Max expected Lando to take the L and move over
It's happened before that two drivers go into a corner, each unwilling to back off, and consequences ensue
An incident like this teaches Max that Lando might not move over next time either
Respect +1?
paper pine
I think for me the contact was avoidable, didn't leave a cars width and chose to close the door on him with nowhere to go
the other two times he supposedly moved under braking are meh, the first time you could tell Norris had to avoid it, the second time i think Lando just dive bombed and locked up, maybe there was a hint of no confidence, expecting Max to do it again?
glad hound
Yeah, not arguing against the fact that Max set up the situation in a way that contact was very likely
Lando did seem to be racing unnecessarily desperately tho 
boy needs to keep a clear head
paper pine
oh yeah definitely, he seemed unncessarily agitated to get past on the same corner
I think he didn't want a repeat of the sprint and get overtaken straight away again
that and probably being hurried to overtake and build a gap in case of penalty
glad hound
Yeeeah I'm not sure it would have been even possible to make that gap
paper pine
I think if he got the move done the first time round he could, we've seen how good the McLaren is at building a gap in clean air
after the second and third time, his tires were probably done and not enough laps
well strictly speaking his tires were done after the third time

It's hard to tell from the outside with different cars. But Max is a machine, can't argue against that
dim tide
it's known that Leclerc prefers his car to warn him with a touch of resistive understeer which is the optimal layout for a large number of drivers including regulars like you and me
if he pushes beyond that resistance, it's easy oversteer
the RBR cars and Max don't like that to happen
it needs to be able to whip into oversteer with no resistance since Max is able to know when that happens really quickly
it's very akin to snap oversteer in a Toyota MR2, you need to have some insane reaction time and knowledge to really catch it
but also Max is good enough to hold it on that line beforehand just by habit
