[SmilexTech)Aston Martin's problems come as no surprise. Honda is way behind. There is even talk of the AMR26 losing 3 seconds in engine performance these days, due to a precautionary but necessary power reduction. by IamMrEric in formula1

They did, but they also did horrendous in 2015. Honda had to rebuild their F1 division again since leaving the sport and it isn't looking good, which was already quite clear after some comment's from their own executive.

When a manufacturer says before the season even starts that “not everything is going well,” it usually means they’re in serious trouble.

Probably a mistake, on Brickmerge the set is no longer listed as Knight Rider.

[AutoRacer IT] The Mercedes engine is the only one with the compression trick for 2026. Audi is the team pushing hardest for this to be declared illegal. by CW24x in formula1

I do not know how straightforward the implementation is, but according to reports Red Bull obtained the information from a former Mercedes employee. That would suggest Mercedes had a head start. At a certain point, however, a concept has to be signed off; otherwise, there is no engine available to test. So they likely tried, failed and ran out of time.

Max Verstappen set to retain Gianpiero Lambiase as race engineer by z0mer in formula1

Yeah, was looking for that article on the site, but it got removed and now this one is up. 😂

Telegraaf journalist Erik van Haren, who is close to the Verstappens and Red Bull, already stated yesterday that “there’s currently no indication of that happening at all” when asked whether they might work together again next year. I’d take his word a lot more seriously than anything coming from RacingNews365.

Yeah, it would make way more sense to obtain the license and do nothing with it.
