Busy month for F1.
Yeah it's just a sponsor hype more than anything. Still, just means we are that 1 step closerAll we are really seeing at these launches is livery in essence anyway. No one will reveal the best bits of their car.
did one team not use a previous years car for the launch last season.All we are really seeing at these launches is livery in essence anyway. No one will reveal the best bits of their car.
Rumour is Porsche wanted to have a real say in the team and Ford is alright with letting Red Bull control thingsSo why was Porsche's deals with RB collapsed before? Ford seems wrapped it up fast and its an engine deal too. Could be interesting if Andretti & GM come to materialised too.

It's like that every year no idea why people bother tuning in. Just wait for the pictures/videos to drop.Not been watching the Red Bull car launch, but its getting hammered for being boring, 45 mins and no car shown apparently.
Yeah honestly don't understand why people would expect anything different. Bit naïveIt's like that every year no idea why people bother tuning in. Just wait for the pictures/videos to drop.
Honestly couldn't tell the difference between the launch car and last years' car . Whatever aero concept they have for this season is either being kept under wraps or that aero tunnel time penalty has already hit them.Not been watching the Red Bull car launch, but its getting hammered for being boring, 45 mins and no car shown apparently.
Pictures of the livery? Was some rumours that it was going to be a bit different.

This is huge in my eyes. Glad to see Ford back! Hopefully Horner retires until then so I can get behind them .It's presentation day for Red Bull, and the championship winning outfit will reportedly unveil in New York on Friday an engine branding deal with American automotive giant Ford.
The rumors of a tie-up between Red Bull and Ford have been swirling for weeks, but according to a report from the BBC, a deal between the F1 team and the Blue Oval is signed and sealed.

Yeah good stuff. Always liked Ford though I'm sad to see Honda and Red Bull parting ways.This is huge in my eyes. Glad to see Ford back! Hopefully Horner retires until then so I can get behind them .
Ford should be an excellent addition to F1, looking forward to what they can bring.This is huge in my eyes. Glad to see Ford back! Hopefully Horner retires until then so I can get behind them .
No-one knows as yet. They may return in 2026 as a engine manufacturer or a works team.What is Honda doing next?
They are involved in RB again until 2026 right?No-one knows as yet. They may return in 2026 as a engine manufacturer or a works team.
Yes as they are, as engine development apart from relibility issues is frozen till 2026 and the powertrain is honda IP. Its going to be weird. Honda unbranded engines but ford on the livery.They are involved in RB again until 2026 right?

these guys are really taking the piss now.
They are a lot better than they used to be, but they are still largely shite compared to European equivalents. The most recent corvette iterations are pretty good and fun to drive, whereas in the past they were impossible to handle. But that’s pretty much it for their stable of worthwhile sports cars. Still miles behind the Ferrari and Lambos of the world, but in fairness also a lot cheaper.I know American road cars are very different from an F1 car and 100% sure if they entered that a US based team could build an F1 car if they wanted to enter etc.
But slight change of topic, how are American sports cars compared to their European counter parts these days? I the past they were v8 muscle cars that were great for speed and power but handled like shite. Are the new corvettes or mustangs on par with a prancing horse or lambo or is it still more about power and noise. I guess I'm kinda comparing Daytona to F1 and that Daytona is still much bigger in the states compared to F1...
That is very well done.The Duracell placement is smart
That's the DRS actuator.What’s that weird thing connecting to the middle of the rear wing? That looks new / funky?
Thanks is that new? I mean the design of it. I don’t recall seeing it like that but presumably must have existed in some form.That's the DRS actuator.
