F1 F1 2026 Season

[Bradesmaen]

Hamilton 27 seconds off the pace. Seems about right

Need more colours. 3x Blue, 4x Silver/White out of 11 cars.

Silver is not white in this sense, the renders are fooling.

Merc - literal silver arrow from front on and top down, so teals, whites and silver.
Audi - whatever they could paint orange, they did.
Cadillac - unknown as they chop and change finishes, but primary is actually black, it's just a do they use chrome or Adobe sort of difference in shading. Aka bit shit.
Ferrari (if you're a fan) has best red, but that white can stick out like dogs balls.
HAAS - sexiest car on grid. Period.
Bulls and RB have navy, they lied via renders.

So all the whites and silvers look different on the grid or in motion, and despite being blue Alpine screams "I'M PINK!" when it goes around.

What other colours do you suggest there?

I wasn't counting Merc as a silver/white car.

Audi are silver with red, Cadillac are silver and black, but they are mainly silver. Then you have Racing Bulls who are white with some navy and Haas who are mainly white also.

There could be green, yellow, sky blue... numerous colours. Unfortunately the Audi and Merc are both known as silver teams back in Germany so that was always going to happen.

The Audi reminds me of the old mclaren livery.

The Kardashian curse is back

 

[gaskin]

The only thing Mercedes should tell them is to come back to them with the rules amended and on paper or otherwise fck off from whence they came.

I am not a merc fan, but sick of teams whining like little kids at the playground simply because one team found a legal loophole and the others didn't.

The fia can't change the engine regulations and expect it to be adhered to straight away.

The best the mercs should offer is that they will design their engines to be compliant to the amended regulations from next season onwards.

Otherwise see you in court.

If Mercedes aren't designing their customer engines with the same loophole then those customer teams have every right to kick up a stink.

Similar colour scheme but the Audi looks clunky, almost like they’ve stuck two different cars together.

Kim's tired him out

Kim's tired him out

All his mental and physical energy has gone towards handling Kim's rear end and has nothing left to handle ferrari's rear end.

Seem like all the their customer engines are getting the same specs, as none of them have kicked up a stick about it.

It is mainly RB, Honda,Ferrari and audi who have cried about it .

Too much bottoming out he's had to lift and coast

None of the same malarkey as 2014, McLaren are making sure of it.

Honestly wonder if he see's out the season, particularly if early results don't look great.

He might be happier being a Kardashian, making music and organising the met gala.

 

[DarthTimon]

Maybe it's just me, but when I hear Kardashian, I think of this legend:



Don't get me wrong, Hamilton is my boy, but he doesn't want to tangle with the Cardassians. Next thing you know, it's the Dominion War.

I can see him as a non-speaking set piece, looking bemused in the background and every so often doing something wacky like show up in a fire truck.

I've seen a couple episodes, I know what goes on.

Either Newey has gone full Newey and it will be a contender or Alonso is lumped with one last Honda powered donkey

A Honkey?
