McLaren's double DNS in #F1's #ChineseGP is a huge blow as it loses ground to Mercedes and Ferrari, but the team has been here before... ⬇️

"There is a lot riding on the Chinese Grand Prix as Aston must now further ramp up the mileage."

What's next for Aston Martin and Honda after torrid start to F1 2026?

Aston Martin's Honda vibrations are so severe its drivers are unable to do more than a single stint to avoid nerve damage

Two years ago, Fernando Alonso said he feared he would run out of time to reap the rewards from Aston Martin's ambitious F1 transformation project ⌛

It looks like he may well be right ✍️

McLaren team boss Andrea Stella has urged F1 to agree to several refinements to the 2026 power unit rules to improve the show and general safety ⬇️

Oof, Max Verstappen has taken a sledgehammer to the #F1 2026 cars

- "Anti-racing"
- "Not fun"
- "FE on steroids"
- 'At least in GT3 I can push without worrying about the battery'

After just one of the three pre-season tests Mercedes has been thrust into the position of early 2026 F1 title favourite

It's a role it relishes but, given its painful experience with false dawns, also one it treats with caution ✍️

Alpine’s Steve Nielsen knows what success looks like – he was at ‘Team Enstone’ during its last title-winning years 🏆

As he explains in an in-depth interview, this was the challenge he needed to rekindle his passion for racing after a 40-year career ✍️

The arrival of Aston Martin's AMR26 was keenly anticipated in Barcelona due to its Adrian Newey influence - but was late in getting going 🔍

While Newey will command most of the credit, let's not forget its other key architect ✍️
