2026 power unit regulations have been formally approved, along with 2022/2023 porpoising and roll hoop updates.
I will be surprised if Vettel doesn't turn up in IndyCar.
Bentley is part of VWHopefully Audi & Porsche are happy.
They show in the video (apparently F1 makes you go to YouTube when it’s linked here) that fuel flow will be between 70-80 kg/h, right now it’s 100 kg/h. The regulation will be restricted by energy flow instead of strictly fuel though.It's funny that they are comparing how efficient it is versus the 2013 power unit. They should compare it to the current one.
I’ve been reading more and more about additional interest from the U.S. and Asia, possibly even a commitment in the fall. It’d be pretty spectacular if by 2026 you’re looking at Porsche, Audi, Ford, and Hyundai all getting in the game.Hopefully Audi & Porsche are happy.
Well...wait. I thought Audi was out. Are they back in again?I’ve been reading more and more about additional interest from the U.S. and Asia, possibly even a commitment in the fall. It’d be pretty spectacular if by 2026 you’re looking at Porsche, Audi, Ford, and Hyundai all getting in the game.
Audi abandoned their LMDH program, not F1.Well...wait. I thought Audi was out. Are they back in again?
I think it's time Ford came back and gave Ferrari another good ass whoopin'.
That’ll do it. As unfortunate as it was for Andretti, Sauber were absolutely right that value was and is still rising, and that there were bigger interested parties on the horizon. It’ll be great to see them push towards the top of the grid again, 2026 and beyond should be awfully competitive.With Audi, Sauber is getting a strong partner who, according to sources, is prepared to pay more than Andretti for a smaller percentage of the company. Rausing is set to remain on board as a minority owner.
Still need another team, maybe Andretti could drum up interest with the likes of Alpine? Like the original plan, but knowing Michael he does not like playing second fiddle for OEMs. Oh well, his plan will come together eventually. Just it might require a OEM to follow him through the door.That’ll do it.

This will be the third different German OEM for which Sauber have been factory team (Mercedes, BMW).
If the rumors of US OEM interest is true than a tie-up between Andretti and Ford or GM would be awesome.Still need another team, maybe Andretti could drum up interest with the likes of Alpine?

Watching some of the Spa 24H last month it didn’t seem any different. Most of the rest of the circuit caught a lot more people out than usual with all of the new gravel traps though.
Not in this case. Asphalt runoffs were replaced with gravel traps in some corners.Anytime I hear that something has been modified for "safety" reasons, it usually means it has been neutered
!?!?@@?@?@?:
Also, Mick is being evaluated as well.
Mick has officially left the FDA:
Bold choice, but I think its the best move for him. However, there is only Alpine, AT, and Williams available. I think he moves to Williams and maybe, just maybe Mercedes signs him on as a driver, if his performances warrant it, of course.
I mean, Mick cost himself with the big shunts at Jeddah and Monaco. Miami as well, but performances like Canada where the car failed him in a top 5-6 position on pace shows his potential.Leclerc and Sainz just aren’t going anywhere soon. I’d like Albon/Mick as a pairing at Williams, plus Sargeant as reserve driver. I’m not sure he has the pace and consistency to move up the grid to Alpine at the moment even though he’s had some bright spots this year.
You’d think people would have better things to do with their time.Fake account.
One of the unfortunate deals of Twittersville. Some kids have nothing else better to do...You’d think people would have better things to do with their time.
Axxholes ...
Piastri is offically going to McLaren, CRB sided with McLaren:
If pictures could talk, sheesh:That’s tough, no compensation for Alpine. They bungled this whole thing with Alonso and Piastri badly while McLaren are set for the future with two talented young drivers. Still, I think a Gasly/Ocon pairing could be nice. That race for 4th in the WCC becomes even more interesting now.
