F1 2024: Spanish GP - Barcelona (June 23)

I suspect the issue isn't the wings, it's more the FIA's ability to evolve their testing to deal with new technologies. Never a good situation when the horse has left the barn.

Maybe the static wing test isnt the right test and that they should actually determine flex during load levels and regulate like that as I am sure it easy to get that data. It's a win/win and certainly the approach I'd take. If I were them, I might also tell my team to push a few more areas of the regs knowing that the FIA is probably too busy trying to figure out 2026 that I can get away with a bit more beyond the front wing.

My friend , the FIA 'frogs s@ck as usual (!)

FIA to teams: Change engines to 50/50 gas/EV.
Teams should answer: GFY.

I worked with a Reinsurance MD once who dressed up like woman on one occasion going into Lloyds of London

Richard Branson dressed up for Tony Fernandez after losing a bet.

Anyway, Bottas and Tiffany won https://www.gpblog.com/en/news/28296...ing-event.html

That'll teach him to bet.
If he got rid of the goatee beard he could then hire himself to do that as a day job

Like the WEC pushing energy refills when it's a fuel stop.
Soon they will have mandatory 1 hour pitstops where they can recharge the batteries and the crew and driver can have some tea and scones.

I'll just keep my 2016 X335 and M40i since they don't suck

Then go full redneck with a Ford Bronco or Jeep Wrangler.

I think Ham is honest and right on this - it wouldn't be the first time they tried to screw him.

And what is Mercedes going to do, admit to it? LOL.

admittedly, that's all I do too, I just don't get to watch it live...

I've had more than one race spoiled by a quick social media browse, I need to just delete those apps finally
