Twenty-six years ago, in the qualifying session for the 2000 Japanese Grand Prix, #Schumacher and #Hakkinen were trading lap times like boxers trade blows. #KeepFightingMichael grumpykerb.substack.com/p/th…

Helmut Marko has invested in an AI venture which allows dead people to personally speak at their funerals "This project is using very new technology, mainly AI. So it offers a very unique opportunity for the last will, and also the possibility that the one who died speaks personally at his funeral" [@speedcafe]

🇨🇳 2006. Ferrari ran wets in Q1 and Q2, 'cause Bridgestone inters were no match for Michelins. But at the end of Q2, the track wasn't wet enough. They had to use inters. Schumacher had only one lap to make it to Q3. #KeepFightingMichael

Not a good take. Rookie Antonelli beat sophomore Bearman when they were teammates in F2. And that even if you account for the races Bearman missed. Plus, Antonelli has 4 feeder series titles to Bearman's 2.

Replying to @MV33Statpad @dxbestani
This year the cars are nimble and agile, they can follow even better than last year, the driver also has to manage his deployment more, if anything it’s better than last year where the car was in autopilot at high speed

It must be satisfying for Norris, to slander Russell between the lines, given what Russell said in 2024. motorsportweek.com/2024/12/0…

George Russell insists he would’ve won 2024 F1 title in McLaren or Red Bull cars

George Russell has insisted that he would have managed to take the F1 Drivers' Championship in 2024 had he been driving either a McLaren or a Red Bull car.

Since 2017, since the cars have gotten bigger and heavier, the pole sitter at COTA retained the lead after Turn 1 only 25% of the time. The current cars are still 66 kg heavier than the 2016 ones. #F1 #USGP

This looking like a random physics teacher dude is Ben Hodgkinson. He was one of the key people behind the 2014 OP Mercedes power unit. Now at Red Bull, he has designed the best combustion engine. #F1

More power to the combustion engine plays into Red Bull's hand.

🚨 THE FIA KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEMS BEFORE 2026. Nikolas Tombazis has acknowledged that simulations had already exposed limitations in the new power units before the season began. Now F1 is changing direction: 🔹 Less reliance on electric power from 2027. 🔹 Potential return of V8 engines in 2030/31. 🔹 A target of cutting at least 60 kg from future cars. 🔹 Further changes to improve overtaking and energy management. The FIA wants to put more emphasis back on the DRIVER. (via. @AutoRacer.it) #F1
