It's a beautiful double launch & it's nice to be in the 2 biggest sports, but I dont have high expectations. A424 looks like a low cost & low risk project with its old F2 engine that was designed by the trainees of a Mecachrome subsidiary, & is laid out inside the car like an F2,
@brakeboosted *the intercooler air seems to be vented by the center cannons solely (it is insulated/sealed from the big side outlets with that vertical shroud)
@brakeboosted There is big room around the intercooler, with that openinc that seems to vent some of the sidepod rads air and maybe some of the intercooler
So Honda stole my idea where the compressor-to-intercooler duct runs back through the engine V..
*just kidding, it's a relatively straightforward solution, + Ferrari was doing a similar thing, + it's easier to do today since the 2026 V is emptier than before...
Red Bull ended my sabbatical and hired me to replace Adrian Newey. Here’s the 2026 car I designed last night. It’s more of a 2039 concept, but I’ll pretend it fits. Time to brush up on the 2026 regs. Plus, like Newey, I focused on the internal layout and packaging first.

This looks like the A524 that should have started 7-8 months ago. The rear half of the A523 bodywork is now completely gone & the car is now more or less in line with what the other teams are doing since 12 months.
@Diiez540878@AuRupteur Deja les vmax en course ne veulent rien dire comme le montre cette analyse. Seules celles des qualifs sont utiles (memes pneus/conditions de la piste/poids/mode moteur/drs, pas d'aspi genralement, tout le contraire de la course.
@LBJxWALL79@AuRupteur S'il est bon il restera. Ces switchs annuels de TP sont logiques car ces TP ont bien me*dé. Ce qui n'est pas logique c'est le recrutage de Szaff' qui a toujours été un clown (quoique c'est 1 autre clown qui l'a recruté; Rossi).
Quand à Famin, son bilan est bien nul, meme en LMDh
@MotorsInside donc les entrailles doivent etre sensiblement les memes... mais le design des nouveaux canons suggere qu'Alpine pourrait changer la gestion de l'air chaud interne plus radicalement bientôt...
@MotorsInside "le système de refroidissement a du être revu entièrement pour faciliter ce design"
Pas forcement. Certaines photos suggèrent des modifs au mieux minimes sur les déflecteurs gérant l'aero interne, de plus OCO a roulé avec l'ancienne carrosserie le vendredi,
