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.

@mclaincausey There is a Cars and Coffee at CotA tomorrow morning, if you’re in town. I will be going with my son for a little bit
-
@Danimal506 wow that sounds amazing. We may get out there!
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.

@Giles He’s just handing his championship opportunity to Oscar.
Some of this will be with the benefit of hindsight, but Oscar was alwa=ys going to be Lando's primary threat........
-
@Giles I’d rather Lando hand it to Oscar than Lando + the team’s strategy do so as last year.
-
-
@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.

@Danimal506 said in Motor Sport:
Oscar is ready
More than ready. And I think he has the minerals to take on Max in a way that I don't think Lando does.
-
My 2030 prediction: The next few years will be a historic time where we saw teammates constantly battle for Championships. The Lando/Oscar battle will be a story for the textbooks about team strategy vs letting drivers drive.
-
@Go-For-Chill I just hope the racing improves instead of quali being the best part of the weekend so far.
-
@Rococo 2025 for me is already a 50% write off. Hamilton won’t do anything in the SF-25. Stroll’s existence means one less “top team” driver to watch. Redbull without Newey looks like an anthill that’s just been kicked over…
I can’t wait for the 2026 active aero and car size changes. I really hope it’s a total shakeup.
-
2026 is when Newey’s influence on Aston Martin will be really visible.
