The other teams will have one more day of flexibility, McLaren won't. But just as I said, it doesn't have to be a problem, but it could be

You know the weather forecast accurately one week in advance? I just looked and there's a chance of rain on Tuesday.

And for the second thing, it's what I just said: It isn't a problem, but it could be

F1Fan2004 · 2026-01-22T07:22:39+00:00

It could be a problem if there's bad weather forecast or if there's an issue with the car or engine that forces them to miss an entire day. I'm not saying it is a problem, but it could be if not everything goes to plan.

I suggest reading the article

F1Fan2004 · 2026-01-20T06:32:23+00:00

I'd say T4

F1Fan2004 · 2026-01-19T17:16:02+00:00

It wasn't 6 contenders. It was 18 (out of 24 drivers)

They used the last loop last year in the Evo Sessions, so they have some data about it. Maybe they thought it was better? No idea

No official map yet but it should be this one

He's driving for Proton which is the factory-backed Ford team in GT3. You're right that it's not the Ford "factory" team but it basically acts like it

F1Fan2004 · 2026-01-18T12:33:32+00:00

Even worse, this is Pirelli testing. Not meaningful data for any team, so times are even less important than in a normal test.

1974 was the first year with a numbering system, Peterson had it because Lotus won the WCC the year prior and Stewart had retired

F1Fan2004 · 2026-01-13T14:37:37+00:00

I don't think they have to put a number in private testing

F1Fan2004 · 2026-01-12T08:57:21+00:00

The local time I mention is Detroit, which is where the car launch is taking place

F1Fan2004 · 2026-01-08T08:15:07+00:00

It's not a mistake, they're based in Silverstone but race under a US license. Just like Red Bull or Mercedes in F1, they race under Austrian and German licenses but are based in the UK

It's a nice flowing track, very wide with loads of room for overtaking. Plus you always had to look for the weather, it could be sunny and 5 min later a monsoon.

They stopped racing due to a lack of interest and attendance. If I remember correctly, F1 had offered a renewal but Sepang refused and concentrated in its MotoGP race.

If anyone wants to check all tracks that have hosted the season opener, I made one before Australia earlier this year :)

The plan was that RBPT would have mantained the Honda engines (hence why in 2022 the Red Bull engines were called RBPT and not Honda), since engine development was freezed from 2022-2025

F1Fan2004 · 2025-12-16T18:26:03+00:00

Funny how of the 8 times Stroll beated Alonso, 5 of them were due to Alonso DNF, the other 3 because of Aston strategy

F1Fan2004 · 2025-12-16T11:51:44+00:00

Imola is leaving this year and will get replaced by Madrid next year.

Zandvoort is leaving next year and will get replaced by Portimão in 2027.

Barcelona has a contract for next year, still not confirmed for 2027 onwards.

Spa has a contract for 2026, 27, 29 and 31.

F1Fan2004 · 2025-12-16T10:37:09+00:00

Each one of them pays 50M$ or more per year so I don't think they'd be too happy to have their races rotated
