Williams pulled focus to 2026 early too...not having the car ready in time for the Barcelona test is pretty inexcusable tbh. That's some big pressure to overcome early doors

Us: Are Ferrari gonna do red/white or red/black? Ferrari: Yes

Whenever our dog gets told off for doing something naughty (like chewing toilet roll)…. …he puts HIMSELF on the naughty step

Audi messed up with that Adidas logo placement Introducing their 2026 driver lineup: HULA and BORA

First car to look worse than last year’s. - New livery’s a mess; doesn’t follow any lines of the car. Half the logos are too big for the space they’re in - White wheel covers are ASS, they look like £30 plastic trims - Somehow managed to make a smaller & lighter car look chunkier and not as sleek

Fabulous looking thing… ….but the prominent Toyota branding has made me realise how odd this team is now. 😅 An F1 team that isn’t “global car manufacturer with a multinational company title sponsor”….but the opposite way round. Would be like if there was a Unilever F1 team sponsored by BMW

RIP and good riddance to front wing endplate being in line with outer edge of tyre, 2009-2025. Massive welcome back to front wing endplate being in line with inner edge of tyre. Just looks….right.

Apart from the number font which is a mess….. ….this is HAWT. 🔥🔥

Trump every few days for the past 9 years;

Playing Gran Turismo 4, on a MacBook, with an Xbox controller…. If 2006 me could see this, his head would explode.

This private F1 test on Jan 26th-30th. No TV coverage, no fans, no media Security will be extremely tight, the circuit’s mostly surrounded by trees, and there’s no tall buildings nearby. Spy photos basically impossible So…images/footage online of 2026 F1 cars by lunchtime on day 1, do we think? 😅

Literally 95% of the negativity about the Stranger Things finale is from media-illiterate serial complainers who think their own headcanon is gospel. It’s amusing and sad in equal measure

The 2012 season honestly still amazes me. - Apart from Seb’s run of 4, no other driver won consecutive races - 8 race winners - 7 winners in the first 7 races - 5 teams won a race - 7 teams on the podium - No driver got more than 2 consecutive poles - STILL no points for Marussia/Caterham/HRT 😅

This comperession ratio loophole stuff is causing hilarity over on The Other App… ….hordes of people having a shit fit because they’ve only been watching F1 for five minutes and don’t know what a loophole is and/or what F1 team’s relationship with rules actually is

A Red Bull running No.3 just looks like Ricciardo is back, and that’s all it will ever look like

Banking apps doing yearly wrappeds now…absolutely diabolical patter.

- Perez cracking top 10 in 2023 - Albon up in 6th in 2019 - Ricciardo only 3rd in 2014 and only 4th in 2016 - Alonso only 9th in 2024 - Bottas only 10th in 2017 but up to 8th in 2018 - Kubica only 4th in 2008 Actually remarkable how consistently bad TPs are at this 😂

Well I for one am shocked, shocked I tells ya

Reflecting on Hamilton’s season, that was…bad. Like Schumacher at Mercedes bad, with more than a few parallels But, without the caveats Schumacher had; three years out of the sport plus a motorbike crash injury that was much more serious than let on at the time 2026 is crucial to Hamilton’s legacy

Championship standings with fastest lap points added; NOR: 429 (+6) VER: 424 (+3) PIA: 416 (+6) Championship standings with Sprints removed; NOR: 394 (-29) VER: 389 (-32) PIA: 381 (-29) F/lap points added AND Sprints taken away; NOR: 400 (-21) VER: 392 (-29) PIA: 387 (-21)

End of season driver rankings. - no. 1 kinda obvious - Norris/Russell very close but Norris had more peaks - Sainz’s post summer break was flawless, got him no.6

Congratulations Lando Norris!!!!! 🧡 🏆🇬🇧 2025 Formula One World Champion!!!! You’ve done us all proud. McLaren don’t win straightforward championships, and 2025 was no different 😂 but who cares. Just so happy. 🧡

It’s been a long 17 years. 🧡 Can’t believe it….we’ve done it.

Norris does NOT need to pit, look at the gap!!! With 18 laps to go!

Not had a knot in my stomach like this since Brazil 2008. A pretty large part of me doesn’t want to watch this 😂😂 McLaren, let’s just….do it. 🧡🏆

Yes Max is the best driver, yes we know that already. But Red Bull deserves credit for turning the car around. Max’s average finishing positions; Pre-summer break: 3.9 (and that’s with discounting the Spain result) Post-summer break: 1.7

Tsunoda’s not gonna set a time is he He’s gonna give Verstappen a tow again isn’t he

Some Thoughts FINALLY…the season’s almost over 😅 This is the second year of 24 races (plus six sprints) and…it's too much. It's draining. It's over-exposure Not just the race weekends, but the constant news cycles generated from more and more stuff happening per year, more to keep up to date with

Crazy that if Lawson had been given the entire season in the Red Bull, there’s like a 99.999% chance he’d be out of a drive for 2026 Tsunoda or Hadjar to Red Bull, and the other alongside Lindblad at Racing Bulls.

The fact they went into AD on equal points, TO THE HALF-POINT, still blows my mind. It was absolutely insane, but also entirely predictable. Because of course they did, after the season they’d had. Ignore how it ended for a second. For 21 out of 22 races, 2021 was the greatest season in F1 history

No actual apology, no admission that they were wrong, no actual condemnation of the abuse Antonelli’s gotten… Doesn’t really sound like they’re sorry to me.

Surely it's time for Red Bull to boot Helmut Marko. The young driver programme's a mess and has been for years, he's constantly giving them controversies to firefight, and the team's already changed a lot in the past 18 months.

Goes without saying, but if you think Antonelli intentionally gave Norris P4, just do the world a favour and give your singular brain cell to someone who could actually put it to use.

Ferrari were just incompetent, whereas McLaren are foolishly letting driver parity influence every single strategy call. Same as Merc in 2014/15/16, but they had the car advantage to deal with any problems this caused (apart from Malaysia ‘15). The McLaren’s quick, but not that quick.

Even if McLaren had double-stacked on lap 7 and cost Norris a bit of time… …the podium would almost certainly have been either PIA/VER/NOR or PIA/NOR/VER. Just so unspeakably pissed off at how badly wrong they called it. Literally everyone else took the SC pit stop.

With the DSQ in Vegas and now this shitshow, it’s not McLaren’s drivers keeping Verstappen in this fight; it’s McLaren.

Oscar and Lando better be throwing laptops and tables at the walls during the debrief. Utterly let down this evening, in an embarrassing way.

I genuinely believe McLaren owes its fans an apology.

Still can’t believe the SC came out on literally the first possible lap for it to work strategically in a race with such unique circumstances. Don’t tell me that’s not the racing gods at work.

Best plan for a McLaren win is Piastri boxes, and Norris tries to hold Verstappen up.

Norris dropping back to 2s ahead of Verstappen could actually help Piastri, Max is in Lando’s dirty air now.

I think we’re looking at a PIA/VER/NOR podium here…Oscar’s got the pace to make the strategy work, at the moment it doesn’t look like Lando does.

That’s the most trainy DRS train in history….14 cars 😂 what a joke

This has absolutely FUCKED McLaren. The cars were too close to double stack, so they didn’t pit either car. They’re going to have to hope their race pace can carry them ahead of Verstappen now, with one less pit stop to do….

Oscar the iceman is back. Perfect start, no drama, unfazed by anything.

Thought the lights stayed on for a random time between 2-7 seconds before going out??? That was about half a second!

Feel sick 😂 not felt like this since Brazil ‘08….

In motorsport you obviously need to take the good luck with the bad, both car and driver need to perform, etc, etc, all that stuff. however…. In terms of guaranteed points lost where the driver is absolutely blameless; Verstappen: 0 Piastri: 12 Norris: 36 That’s pretty crazy.

“Big Qatar GP setback” he’s on the front row ffs I swear this season every error/moment of imperfection from both Norris and Piastri has been over-analysed and sensationalised in a way we’ve never seen before. It’s a joke.

I 100% don’t mind/care which McLaren driver wins the title; I’m a McLaren fan, not an out-and-out Piastri or Norris fan. All I really want from tomorrow is Lando outscores Max and puts him out of contention.
