I can't argue with that Moe :)
I believe he is the only one smart enough to be able to adapt to the new bs rules and tech to extract the most out of the car earlier than anyone else.

I think so too in spite of Russell being bookies favourite at the moment.

Take that for what it is but until they start racing and not sandbaggin, then we will clearly know who is strong...except for Aston Martin! lol

Hope Cadillac does well!

I'm going with the basics - fewer than 15 cars will finish the race. Points for most of the finishers!

2 Aston Martins are vibrating self-destructing dildos. 100% attrition likely. Congrats, Newey.
2 Williams are porky and under-tested. 50+% attrition likely.
2 Audi's have brand new power-trains and are under-tested. 50+% attrition likely.
2 CadiRarri's are new and under-tested. 50+% attrition likely.
1 rookie in the field (Lindblad)
21 other drivers are still figuring out how to drive under new rules.
Super-powerful overtake mode in 2026 - more fun, but also more chance to misjudge the overtake moves.

Practice 1 starts in ~7 hours.
Let the show (chaos?) begin!

You forgot
Ferrari have long and famed tradition, 50% attrition likely.

IT's always funny reading about the Honda engine vibrations, as if my K24 Integra from HS didn't vibrate my entire soul into the heavens.

it's just Honda, doing Honda things.

I didn’t have watching Bearman and Ocon play twister on my bingo card today. So many people here.

Cadillac stand is cool. They have a nice looking wagon car there too. Livery on the F1 car looks good in the metal.

Practice 1 in one hour. The Brabhams going around the track were great.

the cars sound like my BMW I6 (or perhaps my old Audi S4 V6) instead of lawnmowers, at least something

Great to see these times coming in for Fp1….still last year’s FP1 times were 1:17’s so were some way off that pace, but looking forward to seeing much bigger spread of times across the grid this year.

Also Hadjar’s killing it! Love to see it.

I?m not picking up good vibrations.
Not giving me excitations
Bad bad bad. Bad vibrations.

The cars sound like a screaming mosquito before they come out of the pit.

They do look nice. Nice size.

Ferrari, Red Bull and Merc look the goods.
