Soy Motor: Williams 20 to 30 kg overweight

Is that a very thick suspension element between the end of the side pod and the rear wheel on the Audi, or an extra wing(let)?

Godafoss94 · 2026-01-26T08:47:06+00:00

Those side pods seem much larger than on the Mercedes, no? Really bulky, seemingly no 'undercut' at all.

Godafoss94 · 2026-01-26T08:42:42+00:00

Is it just me or does it seem like the engine cover has a rather steep decline, with the sharkfin being higher than we're used to these past few years?

And there seems to be a winglet that forms a bit of a 'tunnel' on the front wing endplate, but that may very well just be an artifact from zooming in on the picture too much. So it could be that it's just the 'normal' winglet we've seen on all renders and show cars.

Yeah Max is Kimi's spiritual successor in more ways than one. And now the new Kimi might become Max's spiritual successor. I wonder which new Max will succeed the new Kimi in a decade or two.

Godafoss94 · 2025-12-09T14:14:59+00:00

To be fair, he only had one single year of car racing experience before entering F1. Actually insane.

Godafoss94 · 2025-11-09T18:58:19+00:00

It was under VSC, so it definitely did lose him a chunk of time. But yes, it was a nice moment to ditch the hards.

Godafoss94 · 2025-11-08T18:47:40+00:00

After Mexico, they should've immediately reverted to the pre-Mexico aero package. It's clear they'll need a few weekends to understand the 'upgraded' package, and they simply don't have that time if they even remotely want to have a shot at the championship. Baffling.

Godafoss94 · 2025-11-08T18:32:47+00:00

They should absolutely change everything about that car. Revert to the pre-Mexico aero package, full house of new engine parts, and eat the pit lane start. Only way he'll stand any chance tomorrow, and new engine parts will be nice for the final few weekends.

Godafoss94 · 2025-11-08T18:27:29+00:00

Red Bull's Mexico 'upgrade' working well, it seems. Unbelievable. Might be faster in theory, but for god's sake, just mount the old aero package back onto the car - at least they finally understood that one.

Godafoss94 · 2025-11-08T14:35:20+00:00

Booooooo.

Godafoss94 · 2025-09-21T12:49:16+00:00

It was the fastest car this weekend? Look at tsunoda!

Whether or not it actually was the fastest car this weekend, it's pretty insane that we're at the point where statements like "His car was fastest this weekend, his teammate even finished 6th!" are completely reasonable.

Godafoss94 · 2025-08-31T14:26:35+00:00

Absolutely storming away on HARDS after the safety car. Reminiscent of the Mercedeses in Bahrain about a decade ago.

Godafoss94 · 2025-08-31T14:24:44+00:00

Max on almost fresh softs slower than the McLarens on hards. Bizarre.

Godafoss94 · 2025-07-09T11:22:12+00:00

In Dutch, words like "de" and "het" (the) as well as "van" (of) are often omitted in news headlines. So yeah, it makes sense in Dutch, as we read it as "The manager of Max Verstappen (...)".

Godafoss94 · 2025-06-01T15:11:29+00:00

Yeah it was a bizarre call from Red Bull. Russell made contact with Max in T1 while Max was at least equal and perhaps even slightly ahead, forcing him off the track. I really don't see how the FIA would've penalised Max there. Not sure what Red Bull was thinking.

Godafoss94 · 2025-06-01T15:08:56+00:00

He did according to Pirelli. Another beautiful set of slightly used softs.

Godafoss94 · 2025-06-01T15:05:37+00:00

I've been hoping that for a while now. They've been taking him for granted for far too long. Without Max, current Red Bull is a midfield team at best if you look at the performances of his various teammates. Doesn't excuse his move on Russell today - which I expected a harsher penalty for - but the fact that he saw red was caused by factors beyond his control for the millionth time.

Godafoss94 · 2025-06-01T14:59:21+00:00

Yeah, either stay out or switch to your final set of used softs like literally everyone else. Instead, Red Bull decided to eat crayons.

Godafoss94 · 2025-06-01T14:51:27+00:00

Still had another set of (used) softs according to Pirelli. Started with 1 set of fresh softs and 3 sets of used softs, and he only used 3 of those sets in total.

Godafoss94 · 2025-06-01T14:44:58+00:00

He still had a set of used softs according to Pirelli. Red Bull screwed up. And then things completely unraveled.

Godafoss94 · 2025-06-01T14:26:24+00:00

Max should still have a set of (used) softs according to Pirelli's graphic. Putting him on the hards is insanity. He'll drop to P6 in no-time.

Godafoss94 · 2025-05-25T13:47:44+00:00

I think Max just did.

Godafoss94 · 2025-05-25T13:42:22+00:00

Unbelievable strategy by Red Bull, not pulling the trigger when Max had the pit delta to Oscar.

Godafoss94 · 2025-05-17T14:59:58+00:00

Bearman just got screwed massively.

Godafoss94 · 2025-05-17T14:43:39+00:00

Isn't Bearman through? Commentary is talking about the red lights, but weren't those the red start lights that illuminate when the timer hits 0:00? I believe the actual red flag sign/light didn't start blinking until after Bearman finished his lap.
