They’ve certainly have done a good job with Honda power. I’ve found myself following the mid pack more last couple seasons- I hope Haas can get back into the mix.

Hamilton’s first lap in the W11. Not a great angle but I guess they didn’t want to show any of the settings on the steering wheel.

A livery is a uniform, insignia or symbol adorning, in a non-military context, a person, an object or a vehicle that denotes a relationship between the wearer of the livery and an individual or corporate body. Often, elements of the heraldry relating to the individual or corporate body feature in the livery

Racing Point RP20 is almost a carbon copy of last years Merc W10. Lance’s daddy is buying the best- let’s see if he can get out of Q1 this year

More details. Link

Leclerc is a force to be reckoned with as well, if Ferrari can get their act together.

RP already said the motor, gearbox, front and rear suspension are from the W10.

Looks like the brakes (non listed part ) are too

Judging from what Toto said and Merc just signing a five year sponsorship deal with INEOS, I don’t think this is the case.


They just tested a “trumpet” steering wheel with active toe change, pretty crazy.

Hamilton’s steering wheel raises eyebrows

Read the fine print. The deal includes an option to switch to formula E.

Interesting where did you read about the E option?

Toto was pretty clear but who knows, it’s all about the money

Yeah "nonsense rumors" that's why MB has stopped all development of internal combustion engines.

F1 is dead.

Well places like Britain are phasing out the sale of those engines so that’s not too shocking , many other manufacturers have done the same (VW Volvo...)

F1 invested in hybrid engines when things went that way and I don’t see why they wouldn’t move on to the next technology , whatever that turns out to be. The engines may change but saying it’s dead is premature considering how much money it generates.

But it can happen if all the works teams decide to go, I’m not discounting that.
