I’m really looking forward to seeing how the Williams / Carlos Sainz / James Vowles combo progresses. I’d love to see them make some good steps forward! F1 is better with a good Williams team! 👍🏁

I wonder what we're gonna see from Jack Doohan.
I mean the guy is already basically fired before he starts. To keep his seat he probably has to finish in front of Gasly all the races. I don't know how much races he has...5 or so?
Is it gonna be all or nothing all the way?

Talk about a toxic deal

Me too, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Williams. They were my team back in the 80's before becoming a Ferrari guy. I suppose Williams is still my second favorite team but they have sucked and been irrelevant for SO LONG

Bad deal for sure, and I don't think Calipinto was anything particularly great once his honeymoon period wore off and he started regularly totaling the car.

We all knew it. Lewis is scared of Max and always has been. This is just the proof right from the horse's mouth that he was actively trying to keep Max away.

The RB21 can't drive over the curbs , just like in 2024...

What the hell, can't they sort the suspension out once and for all but wait the proof of the pudding is in the eating. I'll go up there myself and help them if they want

[M5Rick]

...and I know a thing to two about splitters

Yeah . The latest (bad)! news was last friday from MAX in a (Dutch)! Racexpress interview .

MAX said (in short) :

We have some work to do , McLaren is the fastest car and the favorite to win the Australian GP .
To turn in the corners and in the middle of the corners the car feels better than last year . But to drive over bumps and the curbs is still not what it should be . We can fine-tune the car , but actually it's never good enough ..

Cheer up my friend, win or lose...we'll still have a booze. MAX knows race craft but the tech boffins know much more than him.

Some good news hopefully for rain to come on this first race.

Reporter: "So it looks like there is a fair chance of rain, what do you think Max of your chances??"

Max: "Yes"

[M5Rick]

Fair play is the name of the game and looks like the FIA are not making any exceptions with wings that don't fall in line with what's reasonably allowed so it may not be looking so dark for the RB 21 after all.
The new pull rod front suspension also could affect Ferrari with the new development path needing a different chassis now and seing how RBR are still apparently wresting with the concept after some time, Ferrari may suffer in the first half of the season and I expect McLaren to slow compared to their test showings also as not even they can pull a rabbit out of the hat every time when rules are strictly implemented from now on.

Kimi A, Doohan, the moroccan and the argie had better watch out

The Qualifying = 6 AM
The Race = 5 AM
Free Practice = 02:30 AM

[M5Rick]

Ok then as far as AM are concerned they have hacked the most off their lower sidepods than others giving less wind resistance initially but which may introduce more turbulence as the air rushes to the gearbox section @ 5:23.
