Don’t let anyone fool you, Cardile was a big deal and was the chassis guy. 2026 regs are not GE focused so I don’t think Newey will impact a car in the same way he did in 2022, plus he needs years to get a car up to speed (no pun intended). Ferrari won’t win a lot this year and I don’t think they’ll win much, if at all, next year.

Ferrari and Lewis should consider calling Ross Brawn out of retirement for help.

Look Ferrari are on the back foot again and sure if Newey did go to the reds it would take more than a year to get the suspension and aero to basically work on the heavyweight coffee machines that are supposed to be forced in come 2026.

Do you think Toyota is returning to F1 with Haas as a sponsor in 2025? Don’t think Honda would be too happy if they return.

[M5Rick]

No surprise as Toyota is the largest car manufacturer to date and want a piece of the action just throwing money at an F1 team, expensive sticker.

Wish BMW would quit being a downer and return.

It shouldn't be a surprise for anyone to see Toyota being part of F1.

Whatever it may be , it makes the Benz W15 very fast
I think It's is a new variable adaptive adaptability system for the front suspension .
That's why the W15 looks suddenly very firmly planted in the last 2-3 races , also in the fast turns ..
I'm pretty sure , with the new Benz suspension trick the W15 will be very fast for the rest of this season...

And I just read that Ferrari got a new floor upgrade , but they got bouncing (Porpoising)! at Silverstone with the new floor .

Man, I've been watching old F1 races on Pluto TV and I had forgotten how wonderful the V10's sounded. Much better than the automotive V6 flatulence we have to suffer now. But I guess it's better than this:
