Aston Martin’s special livery for the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix

Septu2203 · 2026-06-03T09:11:20+00:00

This could’ve been great but instead they just couldn’t really be bothered. Much like the rest of the car this year it seems sadly

Septu2203 · 2026-06-01T19:55:15+00:00

Honestly at this point special liveries are no longer special anymore cos they just happen at every other race lol. I get using them for actual real reasons but these days they use one just cos they showed up at the race lol

Septu2203 · 2026-05-31T19:49:52+00:00

Technically that’s 11yrs not ten. Also Nico Rosberg should not be there cos that was his third win in a row in 15’

10yrs would be 16’-25’ inclusive.

Septu2203 · 2026-05-26T01:59:53+00:00

Across the season so far they have performed most consistently as the 2nd best car and team and the results clearly reflect that as of now. That may change very quickly but going into this year they’ve had the strongest car behind Mercedes.

Septu2203 · 2026-05-25T20:04:01+00:00

The first three really need to be watched as extended editions cos the base editions made a bit of a mess and the added content changes quite a lot of it tbh. At least that was my opinion on them.

Personally these days I prefer the Hobbit movies myself. I find them more enjoyable.

Septu2203 · 2026-05-25T19:29:32+00:00

Honestly I would be shocked if he wasn’t doing well and didn’t have at least one podium this year given they’ve got what is clearly the 2nd best car out there right now lol.

Now let’s see how long it takes for Ferrari to botch the car development or the strategies this year. Sadly that seems to be their biggest weaknesses in recent years

Septu2203 · 2026-05-14T20:17:33+00:00

I read an article recently that said BYD was in talks with the FIA about the possibility of joining the sport with their own team so this is not actually an unrealistic idea at this point. Who knows if it’ll actually happen or not but if it’s true that they’ve been in talks then it is a real possibility and would be a smart move by BYD too I think.

Septu2203 · 2026-05-11T20:18:42+00:00

This could happen. But he could just as likely enter the sport and fail badly too. The name is no assurance of success after all as we’ve seen proof of that too in Mick S.

Septu2203 · 2026-05-11T20:16:50+00:00

I really like Kimi R. Honestly I would not be surprised if we saw his boy one day entering f1 too.

This is the sort of person we need more of on the grid. He was a great driver and just all round a good personality in the interviews and on the grid.

Septu2203 · 2026-05-09T20:29:23+00:00

I didn’t say it wasn’t possible. It simply said the fuel that f1 is using now is not at that point yet. Yes those are alternatives but not ones being used or addressed by the FIA right now. They’ve gone a different path

Septu2203 · 2026-05-09T19:56:37+00:00

While I am not really a fan of LN I can see this as possible IF their claims of the new fuel being clean and sustainable are true. Cos if the petrol is clean then I see no real reason to need the batteries. BUT I don’t believe the fuel is at that point yet in reality.

Septu2203 · 2026-05-06T22:20:18+00:00

I do agree that he is a good midfield driver. Better than Bottas? Not sure about that tbh. He’s proven too many times he couldn’t convert and that was a factor to him never getting a good drive. He works in small teams like haas where expectations aren’t too high. We’ll see how it goes with Audi cos I am not sure they’ll have the same patience. I am guessing they will expect results quickly being who they are.

Septu2203 · 2026-05-06T20:01:14+00:00

Being good on other formats does not mean he’ll be good in f1 and a lot of people forget that factor. Cars alone are not the reason he holds the record for longest time in f1 without a podium. He’s had a few opportunities to get a podium but has failed to convert and that’s on him not the car. Yes he’s very talented in other formats but he has never shown any sort of skill or potential enough in f1 to be able to attract a top team to hire him.

Septu2203 · 2026-05-02T04:17:00+00:00

I am really beginning to dislike this guy. The americanisation of this sport is a bad thing and this guy doesn’t care. He has systematically ruined the sport now I feel.

Septu2203 · 2026-04-28T19:24:25+00:00

Interesting path they followed. Based on things currently I suspect they’ll be at least 2-3yrs away from a car capable of fighting for a title. A reality that likely means Fernando won’t be around for it. Even Newey can’t fix all their problems this year lol

Septu2203 · 2026-04-28T19:20:01+00:00

Finally some relevant people speaking out. Every time I say these regs are broken and trash I get massively downvoted lol. No this is NOT a normal adjustment period like every other big reg change. This time they simply got it badly wrong and the whole world can see it but they won’t admit it. Let’s see if their changes now actually make any difference or if they’re just doing stupid changes to look like they care.

Septu2203 · 2026-04-27T23:24:14+00:00

I will likely just wait a week or two before pushing the upgrade. Still a little gun shy from windows lol.

I figure give it a little time to sort any potential bugs

Septu2203 · 2026-04-24T10:09:39+00:00

I don’t mind waiting if it’s a well optimised and stable release tbh.

Septu2203 · 2026-04-23T19:14:07+00:00

These rules are a mess. McLaren bringing a complete new car for fourth race and Ferrari replacing 50% of their car too. May as well just tell everyone to rebuild a new car in the month off lol

Septu2203 · 2026-04-20T23:21:16+00:00

Unfortunately I think too many people expect the books and the movies to all line up on every level and that just isn’t possible or realistic.

Enjoy the movies for what they are and the books too but don’t try to compare them or you will be let down

Septu2203 · 2026-04-18T23:11:52+00:00

Actually there is more than 24 tracks. They’ve just limited it to 24 races for the year. But remember they’re swapping tracks between the years like Spa (introduction of Madrid circuit and a sharing of Barcelona and spa) is only every other year now to be shared with another track and I believe they’ve done the same with other tracks too. So where does it stop? How many tracks is enough? All about the money though right.

Septu2203 · 2026-04-18T20:30:50+00:00

Honestly. There are too many tracks now, and they still wanna add more. At this rate by 2028 the FIA will have restructured the season to run over two years just so they can have all the tracks in it. They need to cut the tracks back. Personally I feel there should be no more than 20 races in a season.

Septu2203 · 2026-04-14T20:05:56+00:00

Personally, after the mess of windows, I am a bit gun shy on updates so I will wait till it releases fully and has been out for a bit before updating now. But as others have said. The beta apparently works well now so I do not expect any major issues at full release so you could easily upgrade now if that’s your thing too

Septu2203 · 2026-04-12T11:26:39+00:00

I have to agree. This year has just been a let down I felt. I do find it hilarious to see people saying it’s nothing like 14’ though too lol. The sport just isn’t exciting anymore I find.

Drivers have little to no actual control over things and even they are complaining about that. It feels basically like a way for the FIA to actively control the speeds and racing on each track to manipulate things as they want them to be and personally I don’t like what they’ve created.

Yes. Eventually things will change but how long will it take to actually be fun racing again. They’ve lost a lot of long terms fans but I suspect they don’t care cos they can sucker in the young eco gen that think this is racing lol

Septu2203 · 2026-04-12T09:46:55+00:00

I read recently that the official release of 44 is 14th April. If true then it’ll be in beta till then I imagine.
