[sonic tinsel]

Yes. The 2025 livery was more black. The 2026, while similar, is far from literally the same

[glass garnet]

Here’s a visual picture to show that it is somewhat different from 2025 actually

[crude ember]

HAAS COOKED

[heady sonnet]

They need white wheels

[sonic tinsel]

That could actually look kind of neat, though I doubt they'd stay white for long 😆

[heady sonnet]

I’m thinking ingame ! Since the wheels don’t spin anyway they won’t get dirty 😂

[sonic tinsel]

TRUE 🤣

[vast sand]

Maybe you’re just poor (/j) My wheels spin on f1 clash 😝

Miksa is realistically the only one who cares whether the wheels spin or if the sidewalls are a different colour etc

[orchid summit]

hi guys

[heady sonnet]

Do they change colors too? 😂😂😂

[vast sand]

No unfortunately not

[heady sonnet]

Unplayable 😂 now on topic - so far solid liveries

[naive hearth]

😡

@sonic tinsel, a problem. Nothing more.

[calm sparrow]

… it’s beautiful

[crude ember]

I 💯 agree, lets hope they keep this amount of paint for their actual car

[calm sparrow]

Toyota gonna bring the style 🤞🤞

[crude ember]

Cant wait for the special liveries now

If they go with the same vibe as 2025 😉

[heady sonnet]

No reason not to be able to keep it. Especially with the new regulations for liveries

[crude ember]

But wasnt it like the 2023 season when all launches had colour, then it started and all cars were black?

[orchid summit]

Haas really cooked on the new livery

[heady sonnet]

Yes and that’s why there are now rules what % of the car needs to be painted

To avoid a repeat of that boring livery season

[obsidian haven]

Literally the same livery

[cursive parcel]

I'm excited looks liked they changed a good couple things on this year's

[heady sonnet]

It’s literally not

[celest gull]

Do people see white on a livery and just go crazy for it

[austere kernel]

Like

[clever talon]

Exactly it's more white and it's more of Toyota GR like how they do there cars at Le Mans or something

[calm sparrow]

Thought yall would appreciate this

[tranquil ether]

haas cooked

both rb's cooked

amazing liveries

[clever talon]

Haas is the best livery atm

[heady sonnet]

Definitely not

I want to see the Red Bull in daylight, but even if it’s not great - racing bulls is on top of haas

[clever talon]

The more I looked at the racing Bulls the more I dislike it don't get me wrong better than last year but the wheels don't suit it, the RedBull logo hasn't changed same with the RB with it's size and ofcourse the normal colours

There's more white good, same sort of sponsers as usual but it's still that big ahh RedBull logo that doesn't change

If they changed the RedBull logo then it would be better

[heady sonnet]

The gloss though is quite different. And there is some black below

In light it should be good

[clever talon]

If the light shows more of it then it may change my mind

[outer latch]

Racing Bulls could be better.

[outer latch]

Tomorrow: audi

[fluid widget]

Best livery rn

[calm sparrow]

I am a quite biased man so I will say Haas n Mercedes are the best looking no matter what and I refuse to change 🤣

[cursive parcel]

Idk man I really like the redbull one

[fluid widget]

I think Haas , red bull and Mercedes are nice

Im biased to mercedes though their livery is very nice

[cursive parcel]

Ooo I like their design

Wish there was more blue though

[fluid widget]

Yes

Its really nice though, I like racing bulls new livery too

[cursive parcel]

I haven't seen the racing bulls yet I'll have to look

[pure hare]

10 years on and they still can’t make a proper logo 😤

[clever talon]

That is there logo 💀

[pure hare]

Just did it for them

[visual orbit]

Go Haas nascar also lol

Im new at this learning. Need to find a good club for a team score of 600

Havent been able to participate in a event or Grand Prix yet any tips will be useful please.

Lvl 3 for my Grand Prix im working on lvl 4 parts and lvl 3 drivers so I can make money to upgrade

Best site for vids would be helpful

Awkward break now in the broadcast

[mystic aurora]

Come upstairs and walk around in the dark

Weird

[crude kiln]

And us viewers just sitting here staring at the dark. Feels like they didn't think this one through

[calm sparrow]

Did I just leave work early to watch people walk upstairs instead of seeing the CAR

[mystic aurora]

🤭

[crude kiln]

THEY'RE STILL WALKING UPSTAIRS 😂

[mystic aurora]

They said it would be an immersive experience

[calm sparrow]

Boys, I feel like I’m immersed… in stairs

[crude kiln]

Thought they went into Zimmer style music but it was a countdown

[celest gull]

What if... just what if... they still roll out a green livery 😆

[calm sparrow]

INTRODUCING… kick Audi sauber 🤣

[crude kiln]

Silver, red, black

[mystic aurora]

Thought that (there) would be a bit more red in crew uniforms

[celest gull]

I just hope it has some orang reddish motifs. Refreshing to see another orange on track besides the uhh them papayas

[crude kiln]

Money talks so wouldn't be impossible 😆

[calm sparrow]

Papayas 🫩

[celest gull]

The only red i see are on the zippers and the square led lines

[mystic aurora]

Banking on something similar to vintage Quattro rally livery colours

[calm sparrow]

I wouldn’t mind purple, it’d be kinda unique. But it’s red

[celest gull]

Remember guys if its really good looking, just say it's bad so that hutch won't put it at the end of next season 🙃

[delicate ermine]

Smartphone reveals

[calm sparrow]

… idk

[delicate ermine]

Ok thats actually quite nice

[celest gull]

Silvaahhhhhh

[calm sparrow]

I’m whelmed

[crude kiln]

Told ya

[calm sparrow]

Guy knows ball ngl

[crude kiln]

Cool they used the same from that concept car shown a while ago

[calm sparrow]

Let’s dress ourselves as a fast car but change it a little

I won’t hate too hard, but TGR Haas still #1 design for me currently

[mystic aurora]

To wrap it up

[cursive parcel]

I'm crying it took so long, I made my bed and started cleaning up

[outer latch]

Nah... it could be better.

I asked the AI to try to improve based on the 2025 concept.

[cursive parcel]

I don't mind tbh its just a bit underwhelming

[crude ember]

Nah thats a bit disappointing imo

[tranquil ether]

yeah it looks like kinda low effort i'll rate this mid tbh not bad tho

[crude ember]

HAAS still #1

[tranquil ether]

better than caabon fiibaaa

[cursive parcel]

It is it feels like a lot of silver from multiple teams, I want to be able to tell them apart 💔

[crude ember]

Haas
RB
Vcarb
Audi

[tranquil ether]

now we need cadillac

and L for using ai announcer thing for audi tbh

little cringe

[crude ember]

I want Cadillac to be this, but I sadly think it wont 💔

[cursive parcel]

They used ai? Shi I didn't even notice 😭

[tranquil ether]

lol yeeea you can hear when it says nico hulkenberg

[crude kiln]

They sang AGAIN?😅

[cursive parcel]

Yeah 😭

[cursive parcel]

Oh bruh I thought they just had an accent that's so evil

[crude kiln]

Front section is a bit boring. Still cool imo and different

[outer latch]

Fan concept >>>>

[tranquil ether]

red part looks too empty for me

[cursive parcel]

I do like that Highliter orange I just wish they used it more like on the front wing or smth

[tranquil ether]

IS IT ORANGE? omg im color blind

[cursive parcel]

On the real one yeah

[heady sonnet]

Was expecting red but orange works too

What do you mean the name ? I don’t see Audi spelled there

[celest gull]

Probably meant the "R26", which I think is the spot for driver's number. This is just for the reveal I guess.

[dry goblet]

Tbh RB cooked with the details in their livery. I think RB is #1 then Haas

[dry goblet]

You kno ball 🔥🔥 the GTP or Hypercar livery on the F1 car would look nice

[crude ember]

Its just way to clean imo

[delicate parrot]

What is bro planning

[broken ether]

Liam Lawson my goat. I hope he gets a podium this season

[vagrant summit]

I have arrived

[lilac acorn]

So have I

[fresh shoal]

We dont know yet we only think

[heady sonnet]

Full list:

15.01 - Racing Bulls (livery)✅ and Red Bull (livery)✅
19.01 - Haas (livery) ✅
20.01 - Audi (livery) ✅
22.01 - Mercedes (render)
23.01 - Ferrari (car?), Alpine (livery)
02.02 - Mercedes (car?)
03.02 - Williams (livery)
08.02 - Cadillac (livery)
09.02 - Aston Martin (car?), McLaren (livery)

Merc Ferrari and Alpine - will be fun 2 days. And then we have the 5 day shakedown next week.

Interesting that McLaren won’t run in the first and maybe second day.

[haughty sleet]

I think each team is only allowed to run 3 out of the 5 days in this initial test.

[dapper wagon]

Seen the alpine livery it’s the same as last season with tweaks to fit the new bodywork

I highly doubt it will change from its shakedown to the official launch.

Came from Cautions Out on YouTube.

[heady sonnet]

Isn't it a bit more pink? Either way - if it works - no need for changes 😄

P.S. weird the F1 new websites didn't pick up on this, they didn't mention Alpine having the shakedown yet

[dapper wagon]

Without looking at them both, it looks similar apart from the pink on the engine cover behind the Alpine A.

[dapper wagon]

Haven’t seen anyone talk about it 😂. Also haven’t really seen many talk about Racing Bulls at Imola.

[heady sonnet]

That I saw - they compared the car to the mule one too and highlighted some minor differences - mostly the sidepods

[dapper wagon]

I saw Arvids spin 🤭

[restive latch]

I love the new red bull and vcrab livery

[restive latch]

But I think Audi and Cadillacs livery suck it’s like they didn’t even like thought about it and just threw random clours on it

[heady sonnet]

We haven’t seen Cadillac, what are you talking about

[restive latch]

Nah I didn’t see this this fire is hitting

Oh idk I saw something on x it’s like all black

[heady sonnet]

Cadillac is in more than 2 weeks

[restive latch]

Im just a dumb kid

[restive latch]

Ok idk that I forgot the list

[heady sonnet]

That’s the test livery, teams do use them occasionally. Also Williams has one

[restive latch]

Ok

I also think Williams livery’s are kind of fire

Like they kind of hit

The sea blue idk what shade of blue

The livery on the FW48 is fire 🔥

[sonic tinsel]

Except for the Overtake system that is replacing DRS...

[restive latch]

Yea but the cars are gonna go from voom voom to like formula e

Cuz it’s 50% gas and 50% hirbery

[clever talon]

No there not infact if you listened to the V6 of the new cars it sounds louder than the previous era and Formula 1 will not turn into Electric as there is already Formula E

[restive latch]

Ohhh ok

[clever talon]

The Fuel mixture is basically Ethanol, Petroleum and something else

It's like the us Humans when we workout our muscles are the engine and either protein, Caffeine or whatever stimulant you have which is Battery, boosts the pump to the muscles to push more

But we do need the V10s back in the cars or even V8s with blown diffusers

You can fit it in there no problem

[heady sonnet]

Definitely not. The sounds are quite good

[restive latch]

Oh ok

Cuz I thought the sounds from the Audi f1 2026 car first time on track it sounded pretty good

[storm oar]

when the next season

Saw more pics now and looked quite cool from above at least!

So let's hope that helicopter goes to work 😆

[celest gull]

Those fat lines on the side pods look similar to the game's silverbird livery

[ancient dove]

[celest gull]

Thought it was an adidas motif but it has 4 lines

[heady sonnet]

They are using adibass 😂

[heady sonnet]

From above it does look like a silver arrow. I like it

I’m surprised in actual cars most so far are going more for a square-ish look of the nose instead of a curved one. I like these cars so far but I really want to see the new one

Nah guys they really copy pasted the monza livery

It looks like somone busted all over the cockpit area

[dapper wagon]

The blue HP logo still sucks

Does remind me of the 312T a little bit

[dapper wagon]

Nothing wrong with that

[glass vessel]

I mean it looks like that

But tbh IMO it would be a stunning livery without the white all around the cockpit.
I mean it’d give the same vibes as the 2022 livery

[silent rain]

I haven't seen anything uglier in a long time. Okd Hass vibe

[honest rain]

Guys new redbull design is

[cursive parcel]

I'm crying why was it at 5 in the morning

Who's messing with the alpine car?

It looks like cotton candy it's not terrible

[heady sonnet]

I like the new Ferrari. Actually some interesting choices there - the shark fin on the engine cover is … unique

Also might be the coloring but the nose “mount” to the front spoiler also looks different to other approaches

The alpine is just alpine. Don’t break what isn’t broken 😂

[clever talon]

It's giving some 1970s when Lauda was winning and Hunt was aswell

But ofcourse the HP logos are just too much on the wings, engine cover and Halo

[celest gull]

HP and IBM should've just allowed their logos to be black or white. People would see them as being cool companies for that, arguably a better marketing

[dapper wagon]

You mean like the Black HP logo on Real Madrid kits…

Either Ferrari didn’t ask or HP said no. Either way, like you say it’s a shame it couldn’t white or black to blend better

[celest gull]

Oh i didn't think of that but yeah something like that. I don't know the agreement too. Makes me wonder if the Ferrari designers actually wanted the blue on it 😭

Even yellow could blend in better for the Ferrari brand, but that might be too weird for HP

[heady sonnet]

Black letters on yellow background

10 times better 😂 but it’s still not as bad as last year

[glass vessel]

I never really understand why HP wanted a white background, like in 2024 I think on the side it was actually good looking on the red paint.

And in WEC too it was good on red

Yesterday me and my friends were discussing about the RB’s sidepods like if yall notice they are the only team who uses these “little narrow” sidepods. Cuz Merc and Ferrari’s are huger

with the engine too

Engine - we knew already 😄 But diffuser also now

Ohhh

I didnt know about the difusor, but man I dont want to see a Merc dominance😭 I’d rather see a Mclaren again

Ferrari are doing it too. So it’s clearly either genius or wrong 😂

[clever talon]

And Ferraris engine can withstand more heat don't forget tjat

Heyyyy guys

I have a quick question

Where do yall watch live streams of f1 for free? Cuz the official app costs money

[heady sonnet]

F1.com or local tv

We don’t promote illegal sources here

[midnight crescent]

Awhhh okk

Thanks! Is it free tho?

[sonic tinsel]

Depends on your region. Different countries or regions have different options available.

[midnight crescent]

Okkk thanksss

[heady sonnet]

Here we go again

[glass garnet]

Is Aston also there ? Have not seen any pics of the AMR26 …

[dapper wagon]

No. They intend to run on Thursday and Friday.

[heady sonnet]

Just 2 days ?

[heady sonnet]

Ferrari McLaren and Aston are missing today. Williams won’t do it

[pliant fossil]

they are THAT confident that their car is gonna do well

[heady sonnet]

Famous last words

[pliant fossil]

true

[dapper wagon]

Well, the wording from their press release is “intend” which isn’t an optimistic word..

Similar to Williams, it’s rumoured to be overweight and have failed the FIA crash tests.

[heady sonnet]

Croft was pretty optimistic about the Ferrari

[dapper wagon]

I hope so, but it’s Ferrari 😂

Tbh, I want as many teams to be competitive as possible. I don’t want one team running away with it.

If we look at the laps completed by engine manufacturers, it’s very bad for Audi. The rest all have equal data so far.

Mercedes 209
Ferrari 198
RBPT 195
Audi 27
Honda 0

[glass garnet]

Well … this happened

[heady sonnet]

That’s yesterday no?

[glass garnet]

Hmmm 🤔

Well today’s results show no RB

[heady sonnet]

Yes because they didn’t run 😆

Will likely be back on Friday.

And the Aston is expected tomorrow

[glass garnet]

My bad then … I thought Hadjar was today 🫠🫣

[glass garnet]

Yeah, can’t wait to see the AMR26

[heady sonnet]

Nah, he raced yesterday and crashed in the afternoon. There aren’t many spare parts available and they couldn’t repair it on time. Plus they only have 1 more day left

[glass garnet]

I know you’re not a fan of Honda, but I sure hope they have something special in their back pocket

[heady sonnet]

I was proven wrong so far with the ford 😆 maybe the Honda is decent too

[glass garnet]

I’m worried about Williams though…

[heady sonnet]

They confirmed today they will be at Bahrain. And a filming day before that, so seems that the crash fear issue was fixed

[glass garnet]

The way they finished 2025 and Sainz’s podiums, I was hopeful for 2026 but the news this week weren’t really encouraging

I would be more worried about Merc doing 1+ sec per lap 😆

[glass garnet]

Testing is testing… what setup each one has ? Fuel ? Tires ? Q or race mode … we won’t see the real deal until first of March in Australia 🇦🇺

[glass garnet]

🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[sonic tinsel]

It's quite a wild start to testing with what seems like a lot of teams not quite ready

[heady sonnet]

Testing is testing but the Merc guys are also pushing many laps

[clever talon]

But they haven't tested in the wet just to be "safe", RedBull and Ferrari tested in the wet and it went perfect does Mercedes trust there drivers? Wait that's a stupid question, does Mercedes Trust there car in the wet? Maybe but testing in the wet is major since it tests the balance and stability of there cars

[sonic tinsel]

What is the definition of "it went perfect" by chance?

[clever talon]

Except from RedBull only Ferrari

Well RedBull knows they may need to put more balance in the car instead of make it more aerodynamic so it does that

[sonic tinsel]

By Lewis' own words, testing in the wet was "miserable" though that might be more just about the weather itself

[clever talon]

https://tenor.com/view/kurt-angle-me-when-looking-stare-are-you-serious-gif-11132620111287096186

[sonic tinsel]

They seem to have more trouble staying on the track in the dry 😅

[clever talon]

True atleast they can handle well in the wet except for Redbull

But as Sir Lewis Hamilton has said along the lines with "The Car has more bite" something along those lines and he has said to Leclerc Race Engineer that it's a good car and needs to sharpen the teeth

[sonic tinsel]

Any improvement over last season is a win 👌

[clever talon]

Ferrari had a major improvement as Hamilton doesn't look depressed 🙂

But if we look at it from 2022 when Ferrari looked like they had a Championship Title contender car it went downhill

[heady sonnet]

Yeah maybe - just maybe it has to do with age too? 😆

[heady sonnet]

I’m pretty sure one of the pictures on Tuesday was on wet

I don’t think they skipped the testing in the wet part

@glass garnet that looks aggressive

[clever talon]

Looks aggressive but it didn't even make it to have the right amount of data and why put Lance Stroll first 🤣

[glass garnet]

To manage expectations 😅

[clever talon]

What a great return for Honda 👍

[glass garnet]

Didn’t Hamilton also stop on track the first day ?

Honestly not enough to get my hopes down… we shall see tomorrow how they do

[clever talon]

Yes but nothing bad happened he just ran out of fuel

[heady sonnet]

No. They have a limit of km in filming days. Had nothing to do with an issue

[heady sonnet]

This is like asking for me to test a competitive kart …

I like these regulations - almost all teams have something interesting an an approach

Merc - front wing (1 flap opening not 2) and diffuser hole
Red Bull - zero pods and overall aggressive back side (+ diffuser holes)
Ferrari - stepped shark fin
McLaren - aggressive front wing and some interesting front suspension choices
Aston - let’s see but it does look pretty extreme and some interesting engine cover design

Racing bulls - huge cooling hole behind the driver

[clever talon]

Exactly everyone at the moment don't have the same thing as each other this season could either be alot of different winners or just a crazy season

[heady sonnet]

I’m hoping for a crazy season in which max wins. Or wait no. Doesn’t win so he goes to Merc

[glass garnet]

Or one over dominant team winning 24 races in the year

[heady sonnet]

That team won’t be Aston 😆😆😆😆😆

It’s so funny how Ferrari are complaining about the engine trick Merc and RB thought of

Ferrari of all teams - the ones that were caught cheating with their engine

[sonic tinsel]

One rule for thee but not for me 😆

[heady sonnet]

I’m sure they would have been ok if they thought about it 🤣

Sometimes hiring merc engineers pays off 🤣🤣🤣

[clever talon]

The thing is tho Ferrari has a different trick by using different engine material to maximise performance by withstanding more heat

[glass garnet]

What if ? … man that would be an awesome special livery if they did that

[heady sonnet]

that's not going to give them 15-20hp though

[clever talon]

Only 10hp

[heady sonnet]

15-20 is what was quoted. and that ain't a small amount

[clever talon]

I was saying 10hp for Ferrari

[heady sonnet]

is it though? Times didn't suggest that 😉

[clever talon]

I worked in mechanics and built engines with the material they used and withstands more heat gives it +10hp

With Ferrari they know they got the reliability but risking it to add more heat to push faster and further, Merc and RedBull may have found double the HP but it could end badly with the engine after duration in a track depending on the track

[floral tree]

mercedes goat

this year

[clever talon]

Probably but we haven't seen the true pace of the cars yet

[floral tree]

Bro, who are we supposed to be afraid of? Mercedes. Red Bull might be strong, but not strong enough to beat them, and neither is Aston Martin.

Mercedes is very serious, bro, just looking at the team is aura

[clever talon]

Every team is serious

[floral tree]

trust me not

not every*

example: ferrari

[clever talon]

With the data that each team has got from private testing they can work what can be improved at the moment we have seen 3 different teams gone fastest

Except Williams ofcourse

[floral tree]

bro test dont say anything except mercedes look very solid

Ferrari always likes to be the fastest in testing only to end up 5th in the season, hahaha, I don't expect anything from them anymore

[heady sonnet]

Ferrari look fine, Red Bull looks better than expected also. Merci s good. Aston - depending on that Honda - can be a threat

[clever talon]

Test is key, bareinmind every team has 1 different part that could be good or bad for the team

[floral tree]

Bro, Ferrari always looks good at the start of the year

[heady sonnet]

if we add McLaren also - who also seemed OK - that's already 5 out of the 11 teams that look quite well so far. We'll see next 2 weeks and on 8th of March in particular

[floral tree]

They don't surprise me anymore, I'm telling you this as a Ferrari fan until 2020.

[clever talon]

Exactly Ferrari, Merc, both RB and McLaren cars has done more miles than any other team there the ones to be watch

[heady sonnet]

Bro, that's far from an indication. They have looked terrible in recent years too

[floral tree]

recent years sounds short

[floral tree]

yeye, but i dont see in mclaren solid infrastructure and confident to this year

[heady sonnet]

"Always looks good at the start of the year" includes recent years also 😉

[floral tree]

ik, i only see really good, righ now mercedes, but ye we need to wait march 8th

[clever talon]

At the end of the day they didn't really push on the shakedown week Pre Season Testing and Melbourne we will see the true pace

[floral tree]

Bro, I literally haven't missed a single drivers' championship prediction since 2020

[floral tree]

ye

[heady sonnet]

it's not hard to predict Merc will be very strong this year when everyone has been on that opinion for more than a year now 😄

[floral tree]

The 2025 one was the craziest, because I bet everything that Norris would be champion even before the season started, and it ended up being so only because I know a little about how F1 works today

[floral tree]

2025☠️

[clever talon]

Exactly like 2022 when everyone thought they will be strong coz of a new era but they wasnt

[floral tree]

I didn't think that, because I already knew that the Mercedes era was over, and another one was about to beginFrom a marketing perspective, viewers would get bored if Mercedes continued to dominate, and there would be a lot of complaints, like with Michael Schumacher in 2004.

[heady sonnet]

That was mostly an aero era. Now it’s an engine one. And we know how that goes for them

[clever talon]

Each era tho there has been teams that have dominated like 2014-2021 Mercedes won the Championships, 2022-2025 RedBull dominated

[floral tree]

mclaren is champion thanks of mercedes

[heady sonnet]

Actually thanks to better development. They made their aero better than Merc did. If Merc understood ground effect cars better - it would have been quite different

Marc spent several seasons trying to recover from the flop that zeropods was back then

Even the mid season swap to regular side pods was not good

[floral tree]

McLaren got lucky, and they cheated too. They benefited from things like the flexible front and rear wings, liquid-cooled brakes so their tires performed better than everyone else in the second stint, and all that. I also find it suspicious that even the FIA ​​had to regulate updates they had already implemented

mclaren* played dirty in 2025. I have no proof, but I also have no doubt. They looked very strange, to be honest, and there were races where both drivers were disqualified

[vast sand]

how is it any different to Mercedes releasing innovative systems like DAS. If a team can gain an advantage while loopholes are discovered in current regulations, why shouldn’t they abuse it til they lose it? It’s a joke that you think innovation is cheating, formula one is not a spec series and never will be.

[floral tree]

First, I never said that innovations in F1 are cheating. I only said that McLaren, in my opinion, played dirty in 2025. Although I have no proof, I also have no doubts. Mercedes may have invented DAS, yes, but they didn't suffer any disqualifications in races because the floor "degraded" during the race. In other words, 2020 wasn't controversial; they simply invented a masterpiece and knew how to implement it to dominate. 2025 is the opposite. Too many rumors, many things that the FIA ​​later took away from McLaren. That makes it suspicious to me, besides the fact that McLaren already has a dirty past. I wouldn't be surprised if they did it again in 2025

[wraith loom]

if they got diqualified for plank wear they already got punished??? if they didnt get disqualified, that means they didnt violate any rules

[floral tree]

Look, you're misunderstanding. It's one thing for something to happen in a race, and another for it to have been hidden the whole time or for there to have been suspicions/reports from other teams. If it only happened in that one race, obviously, depending on the reason, they won't be disqualified from the championship. I think you need a minimum of creative and logical reasoning to understand this. Just because it only happened in that race and wasn't that serious doesn't mean they should be disqualified from the entire championship. It's like Russell's performance in the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix. He won, but with fuel below the limit, and that's a rule. If you break it, you face the consequences, but depending on the reason, those consequences can be serious, like the worst, which would be disqualification from the world championship or simply a Disqualification (DSQ)

[floral tree]

And don't worry, you don't have to tell me you're a McLaren fan, because I know it from your arguments and the way you talk to me

[wraith loom]

what...

if they found the loopholes they are obligated to use it

if fia wants to nerf them by removing their advantages its the fia's choice

[vast sand]

exactly. I think Ruben is on the Lando hate bandwagon, and trying to discount the world championship again. Tyre water was proven to be false, and “flexible wings” were 2024, FIA removed or disproved both of these and this guy still wants to believe that McLaren cheated. I’d bet he believed McLaren breached the cost cap also because “they’re a terrible organisation that favours Lando and sabotages Oscar” apparently

Hahaha, you guessed it, bro! Lando Norris is really like a paper champion, he doesn't impress me even though I've been watching Formula 1 since I was 17, and I'm telling you this because I know about Formula 1, not because I "jumped on the Lando hate bandwagon"

His championship has no merit whatsoever; he didn't prove to be competitive, he didn't demonstrate the right mentality, he didn't prove anything. He's simply a paper champion

A paper champion is seen when he has the best car to win and has the entire British press behind him to be champion, and he only wins the title by 3 points, without dominance, without prominence, just the car and his country

[sonic tinsel]

https://tenor.com/view/pff-okay-awkward-ok-gif-14439671

[floral tree]

.

[clever talon]

Ok so what about 2021? When Hamilton and Max were fighting like mad men till the last race came and the SC came out till FIA didn't care about the rulebook. Everybody was behind Max even the British press well not all most of them

Hamilton was the better driver and Max was close behind throughout the season, now think about all the championships that the drivers has gotten and got snatched from them

[floral tree]

Because here we're already talking about the end of a Mercedes/Hamilton era, one that had fans tired of it, and Max Verstappen was showing unprecedented courage and performance against a seven-time world champion, demonstrating competitiveness in every race and refusing to be pressured by anyone or anything. That's a million times different from the 2025 season, where there was a Lando Norris who never showed competitiveness or absolute, dominant superiority. He made many mistakes; he was fast at times, but his inconsistency betrayed him as a mediocre driver. And just as what you're saying happened in 2021, we could clearly talk about 2008 if you want

The difference is that Max Verstappen won the title, for many it was a dirty win, for others it was on equal terms considering what happened to Massa in 2008, and above all it was deserved because he wasn't intimidated by a 7x world champion

[bleak lynx]

I'm a Hamilton fan and I see Max as a brilliant driver he earned it, I just said all that due "Lando is a Paper/Fake Champion". Lando, Oscar and Max done really good in 2025 season, McLaren sort of fumbled in the season but it was a good season. Max should of earned his 5th Title, Oscar should of earned his first and Lando earned his first but competing and didn't quit, he pushed the best he can like the others and he didn't care about the haters talking smack about him

[heady sonnet]

Hamilton was a better driver in the season? Really ?

Have we watched the same 21 season?

And British press behind max ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

On second thought I remember Dutch press also said that ham was the better driver. So definitely makes sense now

If it weren’t for team orders, Lando would not be WDC

[ancient dove]

True

[vast sand]

If it weren’t for McLaren’s terrible strategy blunders in Vegas and Qatar, he would’ve won by a much more convincing margin. But it’s always if if if right

Y'all too serious here. We all know Max didn't win because of Antonelli 😆

[vast sand]

or because he kamikazed George Russell

[celest gull]

He was just feeling lightheaded at thay moment

[clever talon]

Exactly Antonelli get blamed for Lando winning ig 🤣

[heady sonnet]

That's about as stupid as british media in favor of max 😄

max goat, senna goat, schumacher goat, alonso goat, vettel goat

hamilton makreting, norris marketing

british drivers, marketing

[vast sand]

so you’re discounting, mansell, Jackie Stewart, Graham hill etc etc. Sure shows you know a lot about f1 😂

what happens when George Russell wins wdc this season, are you gonna just call that marketing as well?

[floral tree]

Nigel Mansel, marketing champion?

No, that's why I'm betting everything on Mercedes, because Russell has a champion's mentality and isn't a puppet driver

[sonic tinsel]

How does marketing win the WDC, out of curiosity?

[vast sand]

do you remember “I was forecast a podium”

and whatever the hell he did in Australia 2024

but yet he’s still going to win the world championship. Because a world champion doesn’t need to be a generational driver. Max Verstappen and Lewis hamilton’s domination has skewed the view of deservedness of championships

[floral tree]

In 30 years, the only spoiled brat to become world champion is Lando Norris

[floral tree]

viewers/audience and favoritism

It's strange that only McLaren fans attack me

[sonic tinsel]

How does that result in them winning races?

[vast sand]

Uh, because maybe you’re targeting specifically McLaren drivers so you’re gonna get McLaren fans defending their driver

[floral tree]

Well, it turns out that since 2015 there's been a monopoly, and that's because F1 is becoming all about marketing. Every race win, every podium finish seems planned, because before the season even starts, there are already rumors about who the next contender will be to challenge the dominant team/driver of the previous season, and then the FIA ​​does its job by favoring British drivers

The worst part is that it's the harsh reality; I've been predicting who will be world champions for 5 years now, and if I don't fail this time it's because I know this game

[sonic tinsel]

So, in theory, the FIA determines who will win the WDC from the beginning and 10 teams with thousands & thousands of employees globally play out a charade for almost a year costing them hundreds of millions of dollars simply for marketing and yet there's not been one whistleblower?

[floral tree]

Bro, I'm speaking the truth, not lies. Since 2020, F1 has been a total monopoly. They keep Ferrari fans thinking that one day they'll be champions, but when that day comes, it'll be 2035. It's all just to maintain the tension and the hope of "this is our year." F1 can't let Ferrari fall that low because they have a puppet like Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, who makes them money like crazy, not just for Ferrari, but for F1 as a whole. Then there's Mercedes, which is the "new era," McLaren OG, and the resurrection of Red Bull with its drivers. Bro, I can smell the marketing hype from the tests. If Russell wins the championship this year, it wouldn't surprise me. I said it with absolute certainty in 2025, in Melbourne, "Norris will be champion just because of the car," and look, he was champion by three points

[mystic aurora]

https://tenor.com/view/thumbs-up-conspiracy-tin-foil-hat-gif-20017163

[sonic tinsel]

F1 or FIA? These are two very different organisations

[floral tree]

There hasn't been a single complaint filed, because nobody knows anything except the elite. It's like the system. Would you dare to sue Donald Trump? In the 90s, no, because if you did, he would attack you with the false arguments you made, and if you don't back down, you lose. That's the game, brother. Also, F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport, so why wouldn't there be marketing every year to ensure the team the audience is currently buzzing about wins?

[sonic tinsel]

ChatGPT is burning thousands of gallons of water over this

[floral tree]

I'm Spanish, and I've been watching Formula 1 since I was born. If you think I'm arguing with chatgpt, that's your problem

[sonic tinsel]

We don't believe you're arguing with chatgpt

[floral tree]

good boy

Then come to my house and let's discuss it

[mystic aurora]

That's the game brother 🙈

[sonic tinsel]

If only the "elite" know the plan, how do they ensure the right cars cross the line to secure the plan without anyone else suspecting?

[floral tree]

That's the trick, keeping the focus on suspense/battle with drivers and teams, bro, who the hell would imagine that Norris would be champion after Piastri had a 100-point lead? Ah, but when there are 8 races left, out of nowhere Norris starts winning races and Piastri ends up in P5 and P8. It's a joke, brother

entire monopoly

[sonic tinsel]

Lots of tricks

[sonic tinsel]

Monolopy of what, exactly?

[floral tree]

The worst part is that McLaren always wanted Norris to be champion, but they wanted him to prove it without sabotaging Piastri's car. However, what happened? Exactly. Piastri started with total dominance until his car was sabotaged with only a few races left. The car was suddenly slower in qualifying, and it was blatantly obvious that it had been tampered with without any warning. Because that's how Monopoly works, my friend: create suspense, a battle, and excitement to keep people hooked. And that's exactly what the 2025 achieved in the most ridiculous way, as those in the know will understand

Im new to f1, started watching from 2025 season. Is lando the goat?

[clever talon]

No

[clever talon]

I recommend watching some documentaries like Schumacher, Senna, Rush that shows Lauda and Hunt battling in the 1970s. Hamilton is up there, Max I say is up there, Alonso is up there

[brisk sorrel]

Oh thanks!! I like this max guy

[clever talon]

He is a brilliant driver good aggressive driving brilliant, defence is brilliant and he has that championship mentality

[brisk sorrel]

Im not entirely certain about his performance but his interviews are so cool. Character is legit

[clever talon]

Have you seen the Drive to Survive Series on Netflix?

[brisk sorrel]

Not yet but in my free time yes

[clever talon]

Ok watch all of that the key ones to watch is the 2021 and 2024 parts

[brisk sorrel]

My friend recommended to watch 21 jeddah before abu dhabi.

[clever talon]

It's best to watch the entire 21 season to see the depth of how it all started

[brisk sorrel]

Thanks for the headsup mate, people were trolling me for watching f1 after the movie.

[clever talon]

The movie is best to watch after everything

[heady sonnet]

And even before f1 races 🤣

Hi guys I’m new here but I play a lot f1 2025 and I decided to download the f1 clash and I didn’t understand actually what is the point of game , can someone explain??

[heady sonnet]

Point 1 is to not use this channel

[cerulean marlin]

His interviews when he was a kid racing karts are golden, the character was already there

[heady sonnet]

Who? Stroll?

[cerulean marlin]

Haha sorry, thought your comment was about the conversation about Verstappen

[heady sonnet]

No no, actually that was an advice to watch the f1 movie before any actual races because it’s not super realistic

[glass garnet]

Probably not true and click bait, but I’ve seen this info from many different post today (I haven’t seen any confirmation from the FIA just to be clear)

Honestly I hope this is true 😅

I want Fernando to win it all … and Newey

[glass garnet]

😂🤣😂

[steel nexus]

To be fair, there are a lot of variables… it would depend on the temperature of the “static heating”, how the engine is heated, how long the engine gets heated, where the temperature is measured, amongst other things. You would need some significant heat in the hundreds of degrees for thermal expansion, depending on the alloys used.

[heady sonnet]

There are rumors that Merc can run lower octane fuel so they are slower

[clever talon]

That would mean putting a heat detector device in the engine

[floral tree]

bro

I like that F1 is a monopoly, Mercedes will be champion this year

Is there any role for me if I win the prediction? Anything important?

[rich shale]

Most people have already been saying Merc will win especially Qnyx, so you’re a bit late to the party.

[floral tree]

Am I late to the server? Because for me, the party started 17 years ago

[heady sonnet]

And that’s me as a fan of Max

[viscid belfry]

me too

[floral tree]

I'm a Max fan too, what does that have to do with anything?

Since 2020, when I saw Ferrari falling into mediocrity, I switched to Red Bull because I saw a driver like Max Verstappen who I knew would challenge Hamilton in one of the following seasons, because he had already disastrously outperformed Ferrari in 2019

I was a Red Bull fan from 2010-2013. In 2014, I switched to Ferrari because Vettel was my favorite driver, and since I was only 6 years old, I also supported Ferrari because of Vettel. But I went with Ferrari because of Vettel. After years of drought and seeing the reality of a terrible team, 2019 was the final straw, and by 2020 I had solidified my Red Bull fandom again, and I'll be a fan until 2026

I always hated Mercedes in their era, simply because Hamilton seemed like a puppet of the monopoly for being British and winning most of his titles (given to him, even though it hurts)

But I must admit that firstly, Hamilton is no longer there, and secondly, they have a very complex and elite structure and organization

[floral tree]

Remember: you can't argue with someone who's watched F1 since they were born and remembers every race like it was yesterday.

[celest gull]

Ya i just need to know how old a person can be to still be that way 😅

[vast sand]

definitely still in his teens. I can say because I also remember races from 2010 when I was 2 years old. But I don’t remember races from 2008 or 09

[viscid belfry]

👍

ok

[rich shale]

And you will love it when Russell wins his 1st WDC just as much as when Max won his 1st 😂
Only because you want Max at Merc next. 😜

[viscid belfry]

what?

[cerulean marlin]

But if Russel wins wdc, would that increase or decrease mercs desire to contract Max?

[rich shale]

I would still think Merc would want Max. They hung out Russell’s contract until the last minute to see if Max would join them.

[heady sonnet]

You know me too well 🤣 yes, I actually want Russell to win. He’s not my favorite but I think he will deserve the championship

[heady sonnet]

No team on the grid would say no if max is interested in joining them

[cerulean marlin]

True

[floral tree]

[clever talon]

Today is Caddy

[heady sonnet]

So you were a Red Bull fan at 2 until you were 5?

Sure I can understand when you get to 7-8 to be following and watching f1 consciously. But 2-5, even 6? That doesn’t seem likely

[heady sonnet]

Tomorrow early morning for most Europeans

[clever talon]

Yeah you can't remember stuff when your 2 or even 3 unless your parents have pics of you

[heady sonnet]

The attention span of a 2 year old is pretty limited. “Watching” and “being a fan of X” at that age sounds surreal

Unless “a fan of” meant your father dressing you in a Red Bull shirt 🤣

[cerulean marlin]

Mate I can’t even remember the 💩 I was doing when I was 6/7. could just be my memory though

[heady sonnet]

That’s why I said 7-8 probably to be conscious

[clever talon]

I believe I have short term memory loss or something idk I remember how I was when I was 9

But then again if shown proof and pics of you when your younger and as Qnyx said if your parent put either a RedBull or whatever team top on at that age then it probably sums up that your parents want you to support that team 🤷

It's like my dad has video of me watching Hamilton winning his first Championship, just throwing my hands about and jumping up and down when he won

[rich shale]

I would say a 10 year old wouldn’t have the attention span of 2 hours for a gp.

[clever talon]

Unless you grew up around it and it's in your DNA then probably

[heady sonnet]

It’ll be certainly a higher one than that of a 2 year old 🤣

[floral tree]

The thing is, I obviously wasn't aware of it, but my dad tells me that every Sunday I used to sit next to him watching the race in the morning. That's why I'm obsessed with racing and motorsport, especially Formula 1, WEC, and MotoGP, because I've been watching them practically since I was born. My dream will always be to be a driver in this life and all the others, because I have an uncommon obsession with speed, especially with lowering lap times on circuits with identical cars and categories, breaking world records, or trying to beat pro hotlaps

Competing for first place in regular races doesn't matter to me. What I do care about, and what I enjoy more, is spending 12 hours lapping a circuit, learning from my mistakes and errors without getting bored, to see where I can improve and thus achieve the best possible time (to be damn fast) and appear on the leaderboards as if my time is globally recognized as one of the best, or even the world record with that car and on that circuit

When I was 6 years old, I told my dad I wanted to be a Formula 1 driver (I told him every day), until one day he told me it wasn't possible because we didn't have the money to budget for something like the kind of training you have to do before getting to F1

[glass garnet]

Well Cadillac has done it … the livery is original and classic at the same time.

Love the fact that it’s
Asymmetric

[pliant fossil]

kinda looks like this

[glass garnet]

Yep, my thought exactly when I saw it 😉

[heady sonnet]

Definitely looks cool

[dapper wagon]

Would be amazing if the livery was flipped for each driver so it’s easily recognisable.

[celest gull]

https://tenor.com/view/larva-lads-larva-lad-lads-lad-larva-gif-27687646

Reminds me of two face

[heady sonnet]

Can they do it ?

[dapper wagon]

I don’t think it’s allowed within the rules sadly.

[heady sonnet]

I mean are they allowed to drive 2 liveries at the same time ? I thought no

[dapper wagon]

But it would be amazing.

[heady sonnet]

Indeed . Missed chance

Many people hate it though as there is no color

It’s not like it’s a drastic change either. Just swapping the colours round 😆

Any predictions for the upcoming F1 2026 season

Can’t wait to see what shade of green Aston Martin took this year 😅

It'll be the British Racing Green again

[heady sonnet]

If Red Bull and Ferrari can do it year after year - no reason for Aston not to 🤣

[clever talon]

Why not 🤣

[glass garnet]

You’re right … but look at Red Bull and Ferrari this year … they are slightly different then usually aren’t they ?

I would like to see bold yellow to cut off that green instead of plain black 🤷🏼‍♂️

Something like this but lines could be even thicker

[clever talon]

It'll probably be like that and more white probably

Coz yk Honda

[molten yoke]

I'm not sure about the total livery but Mercedes did use blue for Russell's no. on the car and Radioactive green for Hamilton's in '22 and '23

[heady sonnet]

That’s different though, they used the numbers, some others use the camera too. We’re asking about 2 separate liveries

[molten yoke]

Then idk

[crude kiln]

Zzz, boring McLaren. Boring.

[dapper wagon]

Very McLaren. I really don’t like the black tipped nose

[crude kiln]

It's just getting old with these orange black cars. Was truly hoping they'd switch for white instead of black (like every year)

[dapper wagon]

Not sure we’ll see anything like that again apart from special or anniversary liveries.

McLaren retains the same livery concept if they are dominating. They'll only change again when they start losing 😆

So next year ? Cool!

I was kinda joking when I wrote that, but when I took a look at their livery evolution historically, I'm not too far off 🤭
