    @WhiskeySandwich the problem I have with the V10 thing is the bait and switch so late in the game. It is extremely unprofessional to even entertain that kind of switch at this point. I only value electric for the instant torque, give me an ICE that wails like a banshee 11/10 times aside from that.

    The problem I have with puritanical policing of speech is fuck that. Also, WRC and F1 drivers literally are putting their lives on the line. They don’t need that shit to worry about on the radio.

    Think it, be it.

        The story I heard with the v10 thing was that it would be a 2028-2030ish change if it happened. It wouldn’t affect the 2026 car specs. I for one would LOVE to see the hybrids go away and the v10s back. These 20 cars and the whole F1 organization’s only purpose for existing is to entertain us.

          @Go-For-Chill that makes more, but maybe not total, sense. As a fan I’m for it. But I feel like they lured in manufacturers like Audi who would use F1 not just for marketing and sport but for development and it could be a bait and switch for them if hybrids are a major part of their roadmap.

          As someone who favors the independent constructors and loves the sound of a V10 I have my own preferences but just thinking out loud about the economic implications.

          Think it, be it.

            @mclaincausey Personally, I don’t think the rules of F1 are going to have any effect whatsoever on Audi’s R&D for their mass production cars. I think that’s a load of marketing BS that F1 likes to tell fans to make us feel more connected to the production cars that the constructors are trying to sell.

              Have they done an engine reg for that short a timeframe? It would shit on 2026 reg and not be much time to reach the performance ceiling.

              Makes more sense to have longer ruleset eras. Minimum 4 years. I think they need to ease up and let the engineers have a bit more freedom. The rules should focus on creating close, competitive racing and less on influencing automotive trends.

                @Go-For-Chill marketing ain’t BS. Lots of money. It’s part of their go to market panning presumably.

                  Remember the Audi RS6 V10? Seems mad looking back, and it's long gone, as is M5 V10 and even Lamborghini's. I'd love that era of F1 to return, but surely the PR would be fatally out of step with the zeitgeist. More's the pity.

                  Ferrari's 12 Cillindri engine is the same format as it's Le Mans winner. There's definitely a trickle down of tech, albeit pretty diluted by the time it makes it to our daily drivers.

                          Really wish Lando had had a better qualy. Hamilton too.

                                  Man, Lando messed up my bet.

                                  After the race edit: good comeback tho! That first corner swap should’ve been let go. That was just racing. Lunged force-off and a stolen recovery. Both moves were unclean and should’ve cancelled each other out. Without the penalty the second half would’ve been a lot more interesting too. Glad to see Charl back on the podium.

                                    Some of this will be with the benefit of hindsight, but Oscar was alwa=ys going to be Lando's primary threat........

                                          @Danimal506 yeah it feels like last year was Lando’s chance and they screwed him out of it. But he made mistakes too. Just frustrating for him.
