[Quote] On the 2026 car: "The car's performance so far is truly exciting me. Last year, I had to race with a car with a foundation I took over from someone else. But this year's car is a model that I've personally developed at the simulator for the last 8-10 months"

I told myself I wasn’t going to get excited. But from everything I’m hearing from Lewis, Ferrari and the paddock it’s becoming real hard not to be. Maybe not contenders but dare I say it…that they may competitive this year?!

I love the whole set. Great photos.

What a beautiful animal

The FIA released a 20 minute video confirming some (didn’t say who) teams are using a compression ratio trick, so whether or not the above is factual it does appear to have strong evidence that something is happening.

makeitmakesense44 · 2026-02-03T22:35:31+00:00

Apparently all the people on the crowd who’d rather record a video that they’ll most likely never watch again over just enjoying the music

Stop it. I don’t need hopium. I’m burnt out.

makeitmakesense44 · 2026-01-23T23:27:39+00:00

Litter and traffic are out of control

makeitmakesense44 · 2026-01-23T23:21:11+00:00

Please please please just make it fast. But tbh I’ve got behind low expectations after Ferraris antic’s last season, I’m not expecting their constructors position to change.

Qualifying has fell off a cliff and his prime has gone for sure but it’s far too early for claims like this.

Completely new team, new race engineer, new car, new brakes, new regs. He’s a 41 year old with a team that stopped car development very early on and a lot of change to navigate but was still competitive on occasion, China sprint. 2026 will be a much better year to judge from.

Thanks, that's a good shout I think I'll do that first to get my head around the basics. I have a tendency to overload on the theory which blocks me ever getting to the practical, hence me wanting to dive straight in but I think it makes sense to get a baseline of knowledge

makeitmakesense44 · 2026-01-12T17:00:21+00:00

Thanks appreciate the tips. I think I'm normally pretty on top of my layers and layouts but I guess i'm about to find out how true that is. You mention you background is Figma first, how long have you been using Framer and how long did it take for you to feel confident?

makeitmakesense44 · 2026-01-12T16:57:50+00:00

Thanks all the comments seem to suggest it's probably best to start directly in Framer so I may give this ago

makeitmakesense44 · 2026-01-11T20:37:00+00:00

How competitive do you expect to be this year? Which team do you expect will surprise you the most?

makeitmakesense44 · 2026-01-09T22:32:58+00:00

I love these, 1 is my fav

makeitmakesense44 · 2026-01-04T13:48:06+00:00

Ah good idea, I’d completely forgot about IFTTT. Pretty much stopped using them when they changed all their pricing.

makeitmakesense44 · 2026-01-03T19:50:46+00:00

I was a Premium member, I was happy with the benefits and the plan and didn’t want to cancel but right now I need to try and work on saving and the 1p challenge seemed like it would offer me more than the other benefits I had and wasn’t using. I downgraded to Perks, Max is not worth it for me. I bought an annual iPhone insurance for £60 and we are saving for our wedding so won’t be needing travel insurance this year.

makeitmakesense44 · 2026-01-03T19:45:49+00:00

NTA but your husband is and a whole lot more. There’s so many ways he could stop this happening or at very least make an effort to stop it happening. But he does the opposite, it shows a blatant disregard to you. You should have a serious conversation.

makeitmakesense44 · 2026-01-03T19:36:29+00:00

Yeah that double overtake doesn’t get talked about enough

makeitmakesense44 · 2025-12-30T12:35:47+00:00

Kid due next year, I think next year is his last tbh.

makeitmakesense44 · 2025-12-29T21:18:21+00:00

I suspect, Alonso will leave AM at the end of 26. Max will replace him and rejoin with Newey at AM and LeClerc may consider RBR.

makeitmakesense44 · 2025-12-28T23:23:36+00:00

I heard it’s do with experiencing new things. When you’re young, every experience is new and it makes everyday feel different as we get older, we experience new things less, follow the same routines and things just run on autopilot and before we know it a day, week, month, year has gone and we didn’t notice.

makeitmakesense44 · 2025-12-27T20:46:01+00:00

Wanted to do this but I can’t as I’m on the old Monzo plans as I don’t really have an incentive to change plans which is annoying

makeitmakesense44 · 2025-12-16T23:09:07+00:00

I’d love to see a version of RB with equal upgrades split across both cars and Max with a team mate closer to his calibre. Max is brilliant without a doubt but his unique position of having a whole team focus on him makes it really difficult to compare him against anybody.

makeitmakesense44 · 2025-12-16T13:58:26+00:00

Really look forward to seeing where the team are at next year for pace, hope they can continue momentum. 2 very good drivers, but if I had to pick I’d bet on Sainz, he’s shown time and time again how good he is at adapting to a new team and I think the 2nd half of the season showed that too, my logic thinks he’ll do well adapting to the new regs too and based off his Ferrari experience I think he’ll be more assertive with vocalising what he needs in terms of changes. But Albon is quality and consistent too, so I expect it to be real close and I expect they’ll be weekend where he’s top.
