F1 2026

Front wing, fences and floor are a bit different. Shark fin. Cockpit further back and pushrod instead of pull rod. They're hints though, at best.

Bill Ford screaming that "together we're going to be unstoppable!". Yes Bill, until it fails or you have to cut costs, and you pull out entirely as you've done so many times. It was literally you who pulled out of F1 and sold Jaguar to.... Red Bull.

By the way Bill, when a mysterious Maximillian Verstappen appears on your payroll, think Edmund Irvine.
You know thats going to be the first headline as soon as it conks out.
 

I’m not keen on any of the liveries so far. They are all too cluttered and lack impact.

Of course it’s all about getting money from sponsors but I would linke to see a cleaner livery. Mercedes should go back to being silver.

Ferrari will of course be red.
Or red blue and white.

Found myself totally disinterested this preseason, weirdly, since everything is going to be new and reliability and performance potentially farcical. The dice have been chucked in the air, and maybe I'll be interested what they land on, maybe not, but this year I've no interest at all in the "livery reveals" and "season launches". Last season we had the novelty of Hamilton in red, before the shambles their season became.

Testing might be fun this year though, and I will absolutely be up at 4am for quali and the race in Australia. But I'm in that phase where I'm not really ready for it to be back!
 
Looking forward to the new season of Drive to Survive on Netflix shortly. Usually lands just before the F1 season starts.
 
Not a fan of grey/silver/chrome liveries so hopefully that and Merc are the only ones rather than 2014 levels when half of grid were
 
Must admit the more I see of these cars the more they’re growing on me, think they look much better than the ones we’ve had recently. Hopefully they’re slightly better for racing as well 😂

I’ve seen so many hopeful pre seasons that I suspect we will not see a great change. It’s unlikely that one constructor has a car that is far better than the rest.

Despite all the secrecy and development I think when we see those first times they will all be only a couple of tenths apart.
 
Love that engine sound. Spray looks a lot less, and the cars looks much more proportioned.

McLaren apparently going to miss at least the first day of Barcelona testing. That usually isn't a good sign of things to come
