Everyone getting way ahead of themselves with this Mercedes talk. The car has performed well over the past month but there are many variables to consider and see if they have solved. First being the performance in hot weather - the W15 suffers here. The second is high speed/low speed corners. W15 can perform well with slow speed corners but can’t keep up with the high speed corners.

Well there dies a couple rumors!
![]() Haas extends Ferrari PU deal through 2028 Haas has announced an extension of its technical partnership with Ferrari, including the use of power units, through to at least the end of the 2028 season. Ferrari has supplied Haas with multiple components – including power unit, gearbox and suspension RACER understands that recent discussions regarding a potential collaboration between Haas and Toyota are unaffected by the Ferrari extension, with talks ongoing with the Japanese automotive company over future common ground. ![]() https://racer.com/2024/07/16/haas-ex...-through-2028/ Pretty gutsy considering the 2026 rule change. |

A Haas to Toyota sale in the future would not shock me.

Some ‘ahem’ has mentioned that Liam Lawson didn’t get close to the required benchmark time in the recent test. Seems that isn’t the case now from multiple sources, I suspect this might be the prelude to a seat in the RB or maybe the Red Bull if Max insecurities top Sainz joining.
| Liam Lawson was within a few tenths of Max Verstappen's time at his filming day at Silverstone. His pace was in the window Red Bull needed it to be. Credit: FastestPitStop |

Well , Finally the FIA goes for a full investigation regarding the flexible front wings.. During the FP's in the Belgian GP , the teams (certain teams)! will be obliged to run with small cams on the front wings to check how much the wing bends. I heard : The flexible front wing gives them a 15-20 kph higher topspeed . The wings must be marked with special dots at the relevant positions and levels . Wolff and Brown won't like to hear that (!) ![]() But it sounds great to me ![]()

It's make your mind up time for Sainzy, to-ing and fro-ing more than a cuckoo out of it's chalet hut.

Motorsport.com has learned that the main motivation for the new flexi-wing checks is not to trigger a potential clampdown on what teams are doing right now.
Instead, it is more about helping the FIA get a clearer picture of what teams are doing with the front wing – with a view to then seeing if changes need to be made. The FIA’s long-standing stance that it is happy that there is nothing wrong with what is currently being run, made clear to teams in recent Technical Advisory Committees, remains in force despite what is being planned for Belgium. https://us.motorsport.com/f1/news/wh...ecks/10636028/ |

FP1 done with Carlo again handling the SF 24 foibles brilliantly setting quickest time and Charlie maxxing his car sliding his car off a couple times. MAX comfortably in between the Ferraris in that hour long session.
No F1 tv for me and wondering if Merc have that front suspension bulge present on their car here. |

Charlie's crashed oh no he took too much kerb and polished off the left rear suspension/wheel, could mean the old floor put back on in the rebuild as there's no spare new floor.

So Lando gets FP2 with his mate MAX a quarter second behind looking comfortable on the long runs, the new aero set up looking steady eddie on MAX's long runs.. you can feel Landy starting to sweat already
