How to build an #F1 car 😆 #F1tech

This is quite fun

That's a wrap on Barcelona Shakedown 🙌 #F1

There's a lot to unpack with the new Aston Martin AMR26 Honda. Here's my decoding of the grainy pictures seen so far. #F1 #F1tech

Just to give you an idea of the level of detail:

This is, BY FAR, the best article I've ever read on the 2026 #F1 regulations, a must-read for any fan to get started with the new season! 💡 Written by F1 commentator Gabor Weber, I was honoured to contribute to it and to review it, alongside two F1 professionals 😏 wgmotorsport.hu/cikk/total-r...

I can’t quite make sense of Mercedes’ front-wing actuation choice -They’re the ONLY team not exploiting the 30 mm drag-reducing deflection allowed on the 🔵 primary flap, keeping it fixed 🤯 -They rely solely on the 🟡 secondary flap’s 60 mm deflection Read on 👇

Better pictures of the RB22. It's not that the sidepods have no undercut, there's no overhang at the top, very slim. Front suspension, like the VCarb, is not inclined. The diffuser wall is totally missing! Not convinced, that's a hole in the back of the sidepod. #F1 #F1tech

Is Ferrari running an S-Duct? The vane ahead of Ferrari's sidepod merges into the sidepod It could be a cooling inlet Or, its linked to the vent fitted behind the cockpit This would clean up the airflow (boundary layer) along the flank of the car to the diffuser slot. #F1 #F1Tech

First look at #F1 2026 brake discs & bell, a birthday gift to #SP11 Front discs are 15mm bigger at 345mm dia & 34mm thick, with a 1000+ 2.5mm dia holes The bell connects the disc to the axle with splines, creating less stress than bolts Air passes thru the bell to cool the disc and the pads. #F1tech

PRE-SEASON SHAKEDOWN WEATHER FORECAST A mixed week with variable cloud cover, gusty winds at times, and a risk of a few showers. Tuesday looks the most likely to be affected by wet running. Details later in the week are more uncertain; updates to follow as needed. #F1

@thebishf1.bsky.social Hi, with your contacts, hopefully you know someone who can get a message to Dickie Stanford (the ex-Williams/McLaren Heritage guy) his (inactive) twitter acc has been hack3d, (currently writing posts in Chinese)

Sidepod designs differ greatly, too (less sculpted for Ferrari, more for Haas, boxiest for Cadillac). This difference in design means that there might be space left to 'shrink' them for aerodynamic gains

The 3 Ferrari-engined #F1 cars have VASTLY different cooling solutions! 🔴Ferrari: -Upper Intake: medium, triangular -Sidepods inlets: complex geometry ⚪️Haas: -Upper: Largest (triangle + side inlets) -Side: Simple, rectangular ⚫️Cadillac: -Upper: Tiny triangle + small side inlets -Side: U-shaped

via @noblef1.bsky.social Quite a variety of tyre selection choices from teams (for Barcelona Testing). Some squads have stayed completely away from the Hard compounds. #F1. #Pirelli #Tyres #BarcelonaTest

The real Haas gets shaken down at Fiorano. A very different car, aerodynamically to tge Ferrari, if similar mechanically. Interesting details, especially with the front wing endplate shape. #F1tech #F1

The Haas VF-26 on track at Fiorano for a shakedown today #F1

In case anyone is wondering - there will be no twitter threads from me looking at the design of the new #f1 cars this year... that content is all now going on Youtube. Here is the @Cadillac_F1 first impressions thread, as a video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVkW... #F12026 #Formula1

Considering Ferrari's frequent development issues, starting from a simple base might be a pro, not a cons Tifosi: "Is this our year? Or next year?"

💡Interesting bits: -This is the first real car with an inwashing front wing -Back to front push-rod. Very rearward-rotated upper wishbone -Stepped shark fin -From video, the car has almost no rake -The bargeboard stays have an intriguing shape! (2/3)

Ferrari's SF-26 looks 'basic': very simple endplates and bulky bodywork... this might be a 'base-spec' to be significantly developed! 👀 The minimal centerline cooling makes up for the huge sidepod inlets (the opposite of Racing Bulls!) → Lower CoG, cleaner rear wing airflow Read on 👇 (1/3) #F1

Front + Rear active aero is finally here! #F1

Ferrari SF26 snap analysis, similar sidepod and slotted diffuser as the new Mercedes. Front suspension similar to McLaren 2025. #F1 #F1tech

AI-free Google search results might just make it useable again: udm14.com

Merc appeared have found a whole different interpretation of the #F1 diffuser regs 🤔 There's a huge opening in the side! It can be seen both sides. Probably working with the huge undercut on the sidepods to create more downforce I wouldn't call this a double diffuser #F1tech

Some early looks at Mercedes W17 renders. Usual caveats apply until we see the real thing. The top view shows a few interesting details. It's the first time we've seen a front wing with only thecrear flapnopening with active aero. Then the sidepods feature one unusual lines. #F1 #F1tech

Some snap analysis of the Racing Bull at its shakedown down yesterday. Very different from the launch 3D model. Thx to Federico Basile FBphotoimages.com #F1 #F1tech

A frontal shot, showing how HUGE that inlet is!

The Pull→Push-rod switch, mainly aero-driven, is major and potentially critical (Ferrari’s failed push→pull change last year is a warning) We still need clearer shots of the lower wishbone to assess anti-dive Intriguing design: 2026 #F1 cars look radically different! 😁

🟪2025 vs 🟩2026 KEY DIFFERENCES 👇 -HUGE central inlet (~3× ERS power → far higher cooling needs) -Radical front suspension rethink: much flatter upper wishbone and switch from PULL-rod to PUSH-rod -TINY front wingspan (+ active aero actuator) -Far more complex endplate and outboard section

A bit more insight to what's what on the new Honda PU. There's a return to throttles after bring throttleless up to 2025, while the narrow valve angle has been kept. The yellow structure on the head is the upper chassis/gearbox mounts. They are so big to meet the minimum weight (130kg) & CofG rules

Some snap analysis of the @haasf1team.bsky.social VF26 launch renders. With the usual caveats, that it's a 3D model, will change, etc etc. #F1 #F1tech

After a request from fuel suppliers teams are allowed to use fuels that are NOT FIA homologated as sustainable fuels during the 2026 testing weeks. Find more info about that surprising exemption in our AMuS story (in German): www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/formel-1/ben...
