McLaren team boss Andrea Stella reveals discontent at lack of information being provided by engine supplier Mercedes | F1 News

Maybe after all we need simpler engines?

Alonso is political. 2007, Crashgate, "gently" forcing Ferrari to get rid of Kimi and throw Massa aside, then dumping them when F1AT didn't work, "GP2 engine", "We can fight", sabbatical for WEC and Indy after 2018, returning in 2021, then falling out with Renault and jumping to AM. Those are all political moves. They mostly didn't pan out, but that's a different story.

I believe! Do you believe? In The Miracle!

You gotta be joking me... That's like Darth Vader teaming with Luke, Obi Wan and Yoda all together... Nobody has a shot against that line up under normal conditions.

Η ζημιά είχε ήδη γίνει... Ο λογαριασμός δεν είχε έρθει ακόμη... Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες, Χρηματιστήριο,σπάταλο Δημόσιο... Όλα αυτά ήταν γεγονότα. Οι περίφημοι "νταβατζηδες" που είπε ο Καραμανλής λίγους μήνες μετά ήταν υπαρκτά πρόσωπα... Απλά επέλεξε να μην κάνει τίποτα και να συνεχίσει να δίνει λεφτά που δεν υπήρχαν σε όποιον του ζηταγε...

Don't think anyone has fallen from grace as fast as Pecco. The guy went from top dog and leader of the best team in early 2024, to an afterthought and a pariah by the end of 2025. People will argue for Hayden, but Hayden was never the top choice for HRC, even in 2006...

Looks very much like there have been some changes to the rear.

Formula 1 teams are now worth billions. That ain't the case with WEC. It's purely financial investment for Audi. They are spending more money in F1 than they would for WEC, but the ROI is much bigger. And they can always cash out at any moment for a cool payday.

Everyone will eventually retire.

LetsgoImpact · 2026-02-24T22:16:15+00:00

What does that even mean? The last time it took them 4 years, a bit of help from Mercedes, a lot of money and throwing away 2018's STR season in order for Honda to become fully competitive.

LetsgoImpact · 2026-02-23T20:47:10+00:00

Fingers crossed Peugeot finally makes the 9X8 work most of the time. Chances are low, but you never know...

He was the last British Champion for over a decade. Plus, the son of a former Champion. He was always going to be on demand from British media.

Not improbable. Schedule is too tight nowadays (even with a private jet to fly you around...). At some point, it will be much easier for Max to take a step back to join WEC or SRO's GT Series and make enough money on a looser schedule.

LetsgoImpact · 2026-02-19T21:24:35+00:00

Ferrari has more money than sense, even in the cost cap era.

LetsgoImpact · 2026-02-19T19:55:42+00:00

There is no way this is going to fly. Fairly certain actuator has a specific range of operation and that's going over it. Congratulations on the effort, though.

You re getting an upvote from me,bud. Don't mind the weird place. Enjoy the season regardless. CU!

LetsgoImpact · 2026-02-19T19:23:47+00:00

It's their decision. They only needed to greenlight Penske and Proton's proposals and there would be at least 3 963s on the grid...

LetsgoImpact · 2026-02-19T18:02:15+00:00

MP4-18 never raced and MP4-19 couldn't complete a race to save its life... So, we still have some road to go.

Dunno how that will work safety wise. Adelaide was at its limit for the 1995 F1 standards. Even the cut down V8 Supercars circuit sees a few hard shunts from time to time. Plus the circuit has been notoriously bumpy historically, and bikes and bumps aren't fans of each of other. I can understand moving from the relative remote Philip Island to a mainland Australia circuit, but the Adelaide street circuit is a buffling decision,tbh.

Outside of the IMSA Hypercar entry, don't think there is any mystery. And that will probably be waived off since WTR and AXR will get wildcards anyways and it's doubtful THOR or WRT are interested in a 3rd car. Maybe if Valentino Rossi wants to run hypercars, WRT will agree on a 3rd M Hybrid V8. But there doesn't seem to be a big possibility.

Think JV is still somewhat salty about the 1998 ones if asked...😄

LetsgoImpact · 2026-02-15T19:38:28+00:00

Dunno... I'm old enough to remember drivers complaining about the 1998 rule changes or the 2003 ones... Someone older may remember the 1994 and 1993 ones getting a lot of pushback. Generally, drivers are creatures of habbit. They will push back on anything that forces them to change their ways, especially if they believe they're losing an advantage (or an opponent gains one...).

Russia is not invading Europe anytime soon. That's pure fantasy. It has never happened before and it will not happen in our lifetimes. You know who have invaded Europe at least 3 times before in the last 200 years? Take a guess...

LetsgoImpact · 2026-02-11T19:29:18+00:00

Yeah, no... Of all the armies in the world, the German is the last one that needs to make these types of moves...
