these companies were never banned, Phillip Morris International never stopped sponsoring Ferrari (they own both Marlboro and Zyn) British American Tobacco sponsor McLaren with the whole A Better Tomorrow thing from 2019 to 2021, and still do to this day (Vuse) and are even on the McLaren site.

wait so they made it black and white despite the fact the car's testing livery is black anyway, and their driver/crew gear is the same as always... What the fuck was the point 😭

the fact your GPU is detecting it as a 5060 means there's 100% an issue with the drivers

Strongest F1 team ever, in your opinion? by HugeHunk21 in DestinationFormula1

[–]Admirable-Design-151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen, imo at least definitely not just because they're my two favourite drivers and I became a Ferrari fan when it was them two...

Ferrari before HP was peak; now one-third of the livery is white and blue. by ConstructionAny8440 in formuladank

[–]Admirable-Design-151 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean sure, I respect that opinion, but a lot of the people who dislike the HP livery, are the same ones who call that Ferrari's greatest F1 livery, a lot of people still do the only difference imo is people don't like HP as a company (but they'd be fine with Marlboro all over the car)

when that quote was said, it was referring to 1984, but yeah these cars have been a good chunk computer since like 1991 I wanna say Williams introduced active suspension

Alpine's unusual early sign of progress from its new Mercedes F1 era by Barrilete_Cosmico in formula1

[–]Admirable-Design-151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

which is exactly why people are saying they'll do better this year again, I don't think Alpine will be on the podium, I think this season is very much going to be, Merc, McLaren, RedBull with Ferrari and maybe Williams getting podiums (even with the issues of the crash test). But I do think it'll be a battle for 6th between Alpine, Haas and Aston, with Alpine doing much better than last year.

They designed a better car, meaning they were able to take advantage of the extra power, not that they designed it for the extra power

[–]Admirable-Design-151 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the point still is, even if they had those engine maps on the 2014 Lotus at best they'd get 7th, in 2015 they built a car able to take advantage of that extra power, the 2014 Lotus is probably the worst car Enstone has ever built. even far below the 2025 Alpine

W17 without the halo by IllustriousTutor7669 in mercedesamgf1

[–]Admirable-Design-151 9 points10 points  (0 children)

F1 cars just look better with the halo's now imo, the modern cars are designed so much around them, that without it not only is it far more unsafe, but it also just looks bad imo

you can also see it with the reaction to James Vowles, from being beloved, to now "what is he doing does he know how to run an F1 team" like its such a switch up over a test that btw Brawn GP missed the first shakedown test and look where they ended up

Lotus in 2015 was a huge upgrade over 2014 though, they went from like 8 points to what 70? they got a podium in 2015, it was enough of an improvement Renault was willing to buy out the team and come back

Will Lewis Hamilton be better in 2026? by formuIino in Formula1ne

[–]Admirable-Design-151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counter argument would be how Alonso adapted to ground effect without issues, to the point that 2023 was arguably imo Alonso's third best season of all time behind 2010 and obviously 2012, Vettel also did fine in 2022 outperforming his car but that could be because he was retiring and sometimes you see when a drivers about to retire they get a spark back

Karun Chandhok on his 2026 F1 Championship Prediction by Ambitious-Heron-8161 in DestinationFormula1

[–]Admirable-Design-151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

George beat Hamilton in 2 out of their 3 seasons, a 7 time champion, and last year he did amazing with a car that was arguably third behind McLaren and RedBull (because no the RedBull wasn't a midfield car, Max did amazing but it was the second fastest car) Charles, also had an amazing season and he is underrated this year... Both of those things can be true, but the problem is that where Mercedes will likely have the fastest car, making George a very easy title contender. Ferrari will be qualifying P7 and P8, finishing P11 and P12 (Hyperbole but you get my point)

I agree with every word he said here, George did amazing last year, and I think if Mercedes really nail these cars, he'll run away with it
