F1 F1 2026 Season

And the VCARB

 

[jb04]

VCARB looks a lot better than the amateur photos that leaked shortly before the launch.

I hope the huge amount of black is more "this is to cover up where certain aero aspects will go" and less "more exposed carbon fibre = less weight"

The Red Bull livery is going to look so sexy under lights.

 

[Bradesmaen]

VCARB gives old HP Williams vibes.

No “green” Sunday tickets.

All of the non-hospitality seats for Saturday and Sunday sold out on the official site hours after they went on sale last year, including the park pass. There's still plenty of stuff available Friday, might be an option depending on your work & annual leave situation.

You might get something through Tixel but you won't have much choice on what you get.

I'm planning to sit this year out unless somebody through work greases my axles with corporate entertainment. I go most years including last year but I hated myself a little bit for dropping $1k on two grandstand seats, the value is really not there anymore.

I regret not going in previous, pre-covid years when I could have. It's not in the budget these days sadly.

That said, this year will be a brilliant one to go see. A non-zero chance of a wildcard win from a bolter with the new regs. Even if it's not a dark horse win like Button in 09 it could be a surprise like Alonso's podium in the AMR in 23.

 

[Black_White]

I would be extremely worried about tickets that are not through the official F1 resellers.
Can guarantee there will be news reports of dummy tickets being used on race days.

 

[jb04]

Can't get away with nothing these days.

At least he's enjoying the Tour Down Under right now.

 

[jb04]

First impression is one of my fav Haas liveries to date.

Lookin more 'Gazoo' and less 'Haas' which I like a lot. Like Toyota's hot streak in WEC before many other manufacturers joined and the BoP came into play.

 

[StFly]

Yeah looks clean, can't wait for Ollie to brush walls with it and make it pop.

Always thought HAAS should be more white than black as then the red accents stand out more with the contrast instead of things needing to "pop" from the get go with majority black. So glad to see they've gone that way as it was what 2016 and 22 as the only mostly white variants around for them.

If Yuki's management was smart, they'd align him with Haas and the Toyota connection. One and possibly two seats you'd think will be available at the end of 2026 there.

Isn't he a Honda driver? Hence why he was with the RB family. Should be with Aston Martin now, but they presumably refused to take him as a backup driver and weren't sacking Alonso or nepo baby to give him a full-time drive.

I wonder if Arthur Leclerc is on the radar for a seat, he's had a couple of practice sessions I think.

Has he done anything in F2 or are you wondering purely because of his name?

More the latter, and the fact he's driven in F1 would put his name in line for a Ferrari powered seat.

Who else is in the Ferrari academy

Yeah looks clean, can't wait for Ollie to crash into people with it.

FTFY

Didn't realise he was 25. They have Camara who won the F3 title last year.

 

[jb04]

That orange/red on the Audi looks very different depending on which photo you look at. Here it looks like the almost neon highlights on the McLarens from 20 years back. Which is funny because the front wings on the new spec cars remind me of that too. It looks papaya-ish or burnt orange in other images I've seen.

I think he would be better focusing on other classes in motor sport, after 114 races I think his F1 career has been closed.

If Toyota were smart they wouldn't go anywhere near him.

The rumours are that Doohan is going to end up with a testing role, though im not sure that's the right move either

Tsunoda is miles better than Doohan.

Yuki is a classic driver that will be good in midfield machinery but not much chop in a good car vs a good teammate. A bit like Checo but not as good. And the Japanese love their own. Sato, Kobayashi etc.

Hes had 115 shots at being a good F1 driver and its amounted to very little. If I were Toyota id be picking a new driver.

And hes miles better than Doohan ?? What evidence do you have to back that up ??

Watched F1 The Movie a few days ago. That's 2.5 hours of my life I'm never getting back.
