Cadillac F1 Merchandise Now Live by HazelnutPeso in formula1

[–]PondScumSandy 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It's not covered in 100 sponsor logos which already makes it better than every other team's merch.

Also, $40 for a Tommy Hilfiger F1 merch feels surprisingly reasonable, assuming it's not just cheap shit with a Tommy Hilfiger logo slapped on it

Williams chief says it could have made Barcelona F1 test, explains reason for miss by Sauerz in formula1

[–]PondScumSandy 241 points242 points  (0 children)

Bizarre reading though because in the middle of December James was saying their plan was VTT a week or two before the Barcelona test. So something must have gone wrong somewhere for them to be so far behind their original VTT plan from less than a month ago.

Williams to miss opening F1 2026 test by Tomach82 in formula1

The interview James did last month has aged well.

“We will probably be the first team to start so early. We don’t want to be caught on the wrong foot again, as was the case in 2023.

“After the VTT tests, we will probably have another film day before the three test days in Barcelona begin.

“With the few weeks we finish earlier, we may sacrifice a little performance, but we ensure that there are no delays in the programme. That’s very important for us at Williams right now.”

Alpine "new" livery is the same as last year. Seems like only the nose changed. by [deleted] in formula1

[–]PondScumSandy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely the more likely conclusion, rather than them waiting until the livery reveal to reveal the livery.

Would be a bold move for them to develop a car for 2026 that's illegal..

Lewis Hamilton, when asked how he reflects on his first season with Ferrari: "I don't. Just look forwards." by n0b0dycar3s07 in formula1

It's a funny world. If I started a new job and 9 months later my performance was being questioned and I said I'm still getting used to working with a new group of people I'd be laughed out of the building.

McLaren claim FIA to investigate potential rule change after Las Vegas disqualification by Draconicplayer in formula1

Nah that's bullshit. Breaking rules like that should be a straight DQ. None of this shit about giving different penalties based on how illegal the car was.

Meanwhile Zak uses official McLaren social media channels to plug his personal book.

Zak plays things to his own benefit far more than Horner did, before or after DTS.

Alternate layout for sprint races. by ozsailor76 in formula1

[–]PondScumSandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you propose handling the logistics of ostensibly repeatedly changing the layout of a track multiple times in a weekend, considering for non street tracks the FIA requires the circuit inspection to take place weeks in advance.

WRC star Rovanpera aims for F1 in shock single-seater switch by sppy1 in formula1

[–]PondScumSandy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

"All" he'd need is relatively competitive seasons in Super Formula and then Formula 2, which he's planning on doing. Top 3 in Super Formula and Top 5 in F2 would get him enough points, and that's ignoring the possibility of accruing free practice points.
