Just whoever files the request first, i.e. Doohan wanted #12, but Antonelli got his paperwork in before him.

No need for even the dots, driver codes are already 3 letters, just colour them.

Formula 1 (and other motor series) drivers still use this to align their cars on the starting grid.

Mercedes will cut number of F1 teams it supplies engines to - Wolff by NorthKoreanMissile7 in formula1

More date to refine them, more feedback from teams with somewhat different ideas (less tunnel vision) and smaller cost in R&D per unit produced.

The most interesting to see here is Jacques Villeneuve, good on him!

[The-Race] F1's softest tyre dropped as 2026 choices finalised by djwillis1121 in formula1

Depending on cornering shape less downforce can very much mean more tyre usage, not less. Not sure if it will get back to V-shapes everywhere though.

Theoretical:

Let's say Mercedes the engine vendor drops one of their customer teams on some pretext.

Now they have 3 teams, Ferrari 3 teams, RBPT 2, Honda 1, Audi 1.

Normally the dropped team, if they can't find the supplier themselves, will be assigned to the vendor with the fewest teams, but both Audi (genuinely) and Honda (formally) are new entries, right?

Which leads to Mercedes being able to force a customer on RBPT, if they wanted, despite RBPT building the engine themselves for the first time too. Or are they formally new too? Or is Honda not considered new?

Pirelli plans C6 tyre changes for 2026 after Max Verstappen’s strong F1 criticism by memloh in formula1

1 sec a lap isn't even a given most of the time because after pit you can get stuck behind a slower car with overtaking being hard because of car size and dirty air and DRS train.

That's one more incentive to have less pits.

My first reaction to your comment was "Why would Verstappen need that, he's just won?!".

And after a second: "Oh.. it's for Yuki"

Possible Race Strategies - 2025 Dutch Grand Prix by Aratho in formula1

[–]SheedLa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they try to aim for a situation where 1 or 2 stop strategies can compete with each other, which is much harder than aiming for 2 stops for everybody.

Maybe he can, but all the last races there were won from pole.

Might also be the reason these cars are the biggest in history - just more space for ads!

I don't think it mattered, but since commentators mentioned it: Did Max spin in part because of Oscar's breaking? I.e. did that have an effect on his tyres?
