It's still early, but these car launches are falling flat. the RB and VCARB seemed promising, but in general these reveals are hardly satisfying my itch for more info. The upcoming Barcelona shakedowns are supposedly secret, but I'm hoping we get some more info out of em. Seems I'll probably have to wait for the Bahrain Feb 11 official testing.

pretty sure Merc is winning "best livery of 2026"

-
Looks like a lizard. Maybe good for the hot dry tracks.
-
@Bridger ah, a wishful livery after last years struggles with heat, i see. Still looks good, my homie agrees

-
Very cool @WhiskeySandwich
What type of lizard is he/she/they?
-
@Bridger he's a bearded dragon. we got him 5 or so years ago as a tiny dude barely bigger than my finger and he turned into a monster. He's unusually big, probably because he's lazy/chill AF and just sleeps and eats. I hadn't noticed the Merc resembling the pattern, but i def see it now, especially on the 'sidepods' lol
-
He is very cool @WhiskeySandwich
How socialised is he with humans? Does he spend time outside of his space?
-

Testing results.
Lance had a busy social calendar at the time and left Alonso to it.
Mind, even the lack of laps from Aston suggests that Newey has more work to do.
Other than Ferrari, top 8 are all Merc power units.

Aston is cooked

I'm a big Honda fan. I suspect Aston will not have a good start to the season. However, I think a Honda Newey combo will deliver something. Newey knows Honda. I can't imagine that Aston has a Honda is a coincidence.
