As its Daytona this weekend, just a note to say how great this book by Jamey Price is. Rather than hi-res digital, its all on those little film cameras. It creates these lovely atmospheric shots from race events around the world 👍 #recommended

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 low and late sidepod undercut pressurises the volume before the hole allowing for energised air to penetrate the hole.

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

Here's my drawings and write up in the Mercedes #F1 slotted-diffuser trick. Motorsport.tech #F1tech

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 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

Here's a little pointer to what's on the Honda RA626. Its still +1000hp & huge torque. Near 50/50 split ICE/Hybrid. But uses 33% less fuel, plus the fuel is sustainable. Banned; Split turbos, MGUH, Variable inlets. #F1 #F1tech

Next up #F1, Audi Revolut launching at 6pm (GMT) today.

The front suspension on the Haas VF26 looks like Mcl's 2025 lower multilink set up (caveats apply). There's no lower wishbone, but 2 seperate links joining the upright, creating a virtual steering axis. This can aid tyre management and aero. So, it could be on the Ferrari SF26 too #F1 #F1tech

See the future, attend the F1inSchools UK finals this March... #F1 #F1tech www.stemracing.co.uk/stem-racing-...

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

It's launch week in #F1, not every team will show us a real car or even an accurate render. Ahead of this the motorsport tech website have posted the first half of my 2026 aero rules review. Keep following me for what can be seen at each team's event. #F1tech Motorsport.tech

A little insight into the new Cadillac #F1 car as seen at its shakedown. Usual caveats apply: grainy source pictures, incomplete/placeholder parts, things will change etc... #F1tech

Cadillac, Welcome to #F1

More Caterham #F1 moulds up on ebay. Looks like they've suffered over the past decade 😔 #F1tech

For most, the Red Bull brand launches last night were the first time to see a non-FIA interpretation of the #F1 2026 rules. A lot is changing for this year, here's my @tech_motorsport summary of the changes, with a big aero and PU analysis coming up. Motorsport.tech #F1tech

VCarb livery on a slightly different 3D model to the Red Bull.

As presented tonight.. #F1

Does anyone want to remember DRS fondly? I do, and has it really gone? Here's my thoughts in @essesmag.com essesmag.substack.com #F1 #F1tech

Looking back at Ferrari's 2014 #F1 PU, while there was a lot wrong with it, its layout gives us some clues for 2026. The loss of the MGUH, split turbo & variable inlets, the likely induction set up could look like this. Albeit with an even smaller charge air cooler. #F1tech

For the private #F1 Barcelona test, starting on Jan 26th, teams will run camouflage liveries. It's been done in the past and for done it hides the cars shapecfrom their eyes. For some us it makes the shape more obvious! #F1tech #F12026

I drew this in late 2012 (for fun) - it didn't occur to me anyone would use a conventional 'non split' turbo. I was very taken aback when Ferrari and Renault had the compressor at the rear.

Another look back, this time to the 2014 #F1 reg changes, when no one thought they'd actually run the noses I'd predicted. In fact, one team approached my publisher, worried that their design had been leaked! Then, the split turbo was predicted and subsequently discovered. #F1tech

A look back to 2009 and my predictions of the 2009 overtaking/hybrid regulations. #f1 #F1tech

I've finally put out the first of 3 insights into the #F1 2026 rules. What's changed and what to look out for. You can read it here motorsport.tech Next up a detail Aero and a PU article. #F1tech #F12026

OTDI 2009. As part of the first of the overtaking/hybrid #F1 regulations, Ferrari unveiled their F60, to us media at Mugello. #F1tech 📸 @scarbstech

At last a sensible look at the 2026 #F1 effect with sim tools some of the teams are using, Canopy and Dynisna plus @GaryPaffett #F1Tech youtu.be/88y7eC0qnhA?...

Mcl have split the lower wishbone in two, to create a unique multilink setup. Its an aero solution, not possible with a wishbone. Along with the clever steering trackrod & angled top wishbone. The MCL39 downwashes more flow to the floor, for more downforce. #F1 #F1Tech @xavigazquez.bsky.social

Red Bull #RB21 details. Although little has changed externally, the car is different in a few areas. Both long and short nose tips were tested, these affect the undernose airflow to the floor. The general suspension & rearward cockpit layout is similar to 2024. #F1 #F1Tech Cont'd.. .

Details of the Merc #W16 The main change is the switch to the steering trackrod to behind the lower wishbone. This directs more to the floor. The nose bulge and cockpit front, may be an aero trick to shed downwash off the chassis top. #F1 #F1Tech Contd...

#F1 Race Week. First of 4 drawn #F1Tech analysis coming up tomorrow.

Finally an #F1 2025 race week. It's also my 25th season covering #F1Tech. My plans for this year are a bit different I've decided not to continue with F1TV. I'm still going to be covering F1, but travelling to look at other race series too You'll find me here, on twitter & Insta.

It's official 'Andretti' are in #F1 for 2026.

Did you know Suzuki tested natural composite bodywork in #MotoGP? Since they departed MotoGP in 2022, they've raced flax (grass) composite bodywork in the Suzuka 8 hour As well as being more sustainable, @BcompLtd flax composite creates fewer sharp shards when damaged #F1Tech

I've drawn an arrow replacing every probe on an #F1 aero rake. So you can see the airflow directions the teams are looking at. #F1 #F1Tech
