Don't love changing liveries constantly.

Don't hate it but I don't love it either.

Basically if he's going somewhere he's going for the 2026 rules rather than trying to fix something that is shite. Let's hope it isn't Ferrari, last thing we want is Bono My Tyres winning more GPs.

Leclerc will wipe the floor with the only champion to be beaten by three (soon to be four) different teammates in equal machinery.

Yeah I'm not a fan

I'd seen images floating around of a Williams-esque navy that looked alright, but the mix of blue and red is ew

 

[gaskin]

I expected more blue the way they were carrying on about it.

 

[skam85]

Rate this though

 

[Jatz]

Yeah that looks fantastic!

 

[No Quarter]

Bit out there in a still image but I reckon it will be very striking on track

unlike many others, ferrari fairly much sticks to brand with their livery.

Shame the track is still boring.
Won't get up for this one, will just catch the highlights I think.

6am Monday is almost the perfect time for a race IMO.... if you aren't from Perth

Not really sure what they think they can do. They have no control over FOM, the FIA, or the team bosses.

Both Liberty (owners of FOM) and Andretti are US companies, which may give them some leverage. The FIA approved Andretti anyway, so Congress doesn't have any issue with them.

It's the same old same old, they dont want to share revenue around etc and they know that the American market will be more closed off to them than before. Haas are american but TBH no one really cares about them. Andretti obviously has the name.

Apparently Sainz has not accepted the Audi offer and is holding out for a Merc or Red Bull seat. The deadline to accept the Audi deal has passed without him giving them an answer.

Good move
Nothing I have heard has me convinced Audi are going to be competitive.

The difference is Audi are offering a lot of money and a long term contract to build the team around him. By not accepting the deal he may very well be without a seat next season. Even if he goes to Merc he will just be keeping the seat warm for Antonelli.

Not next year no. 2026 maybe different as they are throwing a lot of money at the engine etc.

Yeah that's why they've gone and signed the safe pair of hands for Hulk, a more than capable number 2. It means even if they don't get their first choice in Sainz, their 2nd, 3rd or even 4th choice of guys like Ocon, Bottas, Gasly still makes it a passable driver lineup for a couple of years.

Still reckon they should be taking a punt on Pourchaire. Shame that a good F2 champion looks like he'll miss out on a drive, when we have duds like Stroll adding nothing.
