Can it be 25 years since Michele Alboreto died testing an Audi Le Mans car at Lausitzring? Almost, yes: the tragedy occurred on 25 April 2001. In my new @motor-sport.bsky.social column I explain why he was a much better #F1 driver than many people realise. www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/sin...

NEW #F1 ERS RULES (From Miami), EXPLAINED! 📒 Clipping time drops significantly, with minimal impact on lap times and the pecking order. At peak harvest, an F1 car can produce less full-throttle power than a Fiat Panda, but it's for the better 😆 (read to the end!)

Aaand breathe 😮‍💨 These podium sighs of relief... 👀 #F1

Back on a street track this wknd means all eyes on Kyle Kirkwood 💥 He’s the man to beat at Long Beach without doubt …. All the action is LIVE on Sky Sports F1 📺 FRI - P1 @ 23:00 SAT - P2 @ 18:30 SAT - Q @ 23:30 SUN - RACE @ 22:30 #SkyIndyCar #INDYCAR

Just look at some of these names who've raced for McLaren over the years! 🤩It's Lando Norris who has surpassed David Coulthard for the most Grands Prix driven at the Woking-based team 📈#F1

When driver and team are in perfect harmony! 💪Lewis Hamilton leads the way for the most Grand Prix wins at one team in history... 😮‍💨#F1

Kimi Antonelli joins a list of drivers who won again straight after their maiden win... 🏆Alberto Ascari, Peter Collins, Bruce McLaren, Rene Arnoux, Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill, Mika Hakkinen, Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc and Kimi Antonelli#F1

Early look at weather for GP of Long Beach…generally sunny…a few clouds over weekend…low to mid 70s #IndyCar

2025 🆚 2026 Let's compare the Constructors' Standings after the first three rounds in 2025 and 2026 👇#F1

The softest trio for Miami & Montreal Miami - deg is pred. thermal, due to the high temps, but last year, it proved to be limited. Canada - ..a track surface that is not very abrasive & provides adequate grip where the cars are subjected to heavy braking press.pirelli.com/the-softest-...

Teams with ≤552 hp (>4% deficit) earn TWO extra upgrades per year. Ferrari, Audi, and Honda should all qualify! Ferrari's gap to Mercedes (~29hp) is huge, yet their best-in-class chassis allows them to fight Which team will have the best in-season development? 🤔

I've estimated the ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) power for each manufacturer: big trouble for Red Bull, while Ferrari can be optimistic! 👀 Mercedes: ~576 hp (best) Teams with ≤564 hp (>2% deficit) earn one extra upgrade token per year. RBPT sits at ~565 hp: they may miss the cut!

fw13b, its almost done.

The 2026 grid are connected in more ways than you might think 👀#F1

🚨 Most Poles In F1 history 104 - Lewis Hamilton 103 - 102 - 101 - 100 - 99 - 98 - 97 - 96 - 95 - 94 - 93 - 92 - 91 - 90 - 89 - 88 - 87 - 86 - 85 - 84 - 83 - 82 - 81 - 80 - 79 - 78 - 77 - 76 - 75 - 74 - 73 - 72 - 71 - 70 - 69 - 68 - Michael Schumacher 67 - 66 - 65 - Ayrton Senna

Then 🆚 now 👀Taking a look at how the state of play compares to last year, three rounds into the season 📊#F1

My solution: For 2026: -Limit ERS deployment from 350kW to 250kW (53%/47%→62%/38% ICE/ERS power split) 🔋 -Limit the max harvest at full throttle to -150kW (keep the 350kW harvest under braking) For 2027: -Increase fuel flow by 20%, reaching ~1000hp again with 66%/34% split What's YOURS? 👀

ΔAcceleration = ΔPower / ( Mass × Speed )→ 9.2 m/s² (Confirmed by the data!) The driver stays flat out, yet total power swings by 800 hp (1000 hp → 200 hp, or Bugatti Veyron vs Polo GTI). And it gets worse: This #F1 data... is from HAM's best QUALIFYING lap!

At full throttle, ERS behaviour (deployment vs harvesting) dictates acceleration: the difference reaches 10 m/s², like going from constant speed to stomping the brakes of a road car! Max deployment: +350 kW Max harvest at full throttle: −250 kW Difference: 600 kW (~800 hp) Via JMP #YesJMPcan

🔋🪫Clipping Analysis (130R) 🟥Ferrari had the WORST top speed: just 320km/h. Ferrari-powered teams were slowest on average (worse than Aston-Honda even!) 🟩Honda had a massive 60km/h clipping: just 267 km/h while still full-throttle! (worst ICE?⛽️) Via JMP #YesJMPcan #adv

A feature on the AMR26 borrowed from RBR, is the front suspension structure. Both forward legs of the suspension are continuous, with a beam joining them left and right. This could either make the assembly stiffer or create a pseudo anti roll effect 🤔 #F1 #F1tech @n_mode_log

Ferrari's Speed Over Ground (SOG) sensor has shifted forwards. This might be for more sensor accuracy or aero. Also known as a slip sensor, it measures the cars direction, along with steering angle, this tells the team the slip angle, if there's under/over steer #F1 #F1tech #F1JP

Pace per team: 1)Merc/ANT (M) 2)Ferrari/LEC (M) +0.662s/lap 3)McL/PIA (M) +1.144 4)Alpine/GAS (H) +1.301 5)Haas/OCO (M) +1.410 6)RBR/VER (H) +1.493 7)Audi/HUL (H) +1.550 8)RBs/LAW (M) +2.050 9)Williams/ALB (M) +2.468 10)Cadillac/BOT (M) +3.205

FP2 LONG RUNS 📊 🟢Mercedes is looking untouchable: quick and consistent 🔴LEC was next best, yet over 0.6s/lap slower! 🟠PIA set the quickest lap, but long run didn't impress 🟣Alpine and⚪️Haas are looking good again! 🔵VER again nowhere. HAD was as quick as him once slow laps are removed! #F1
