@Versutta I read the article. The proposal is a 2.4L N/A V8, revving to around 16000rpm and producing about 760hp. You're right.
But with a 90kW (120hp) hybrid, so the hybrid share is closer to 15%, not 10%. Combined output would be around 880hp. This is still the right direction for F1.
Comparing Max dragging the RB22 to Perez, Yuki and Lawson struggling in front running Red Bulls is hilarious.
Max is extracting everything from a weaker car. They were drowning in stronger ones.
Or, more likely the 2026 Red Bull is a lot weaker relative to the field than it was in 2024-25. Hadjar being closer doesn't mean Max is struggling like Perez; his style just suits the car better. Max is still extracting the most from it. You'd know that if you've been watching.
so we're gonna consider the fact these cars are fundamentally different than the previous generations when max clearly can't push his current car anywhere near as much to the limit as he could previously? ok.
No one said that. Lawson was clearly a V-shaped driver, with sharper braking, rotation and exit. Yuki also leaned more that way, although less so.
Hadjar leans more U-shaped, carrying a smoother arc through the corner, which is closer to Verstappen.

what was hamilton doing for the entirety of 2025? ah yes busy with Q2 exits and losing to charles in every metric from points, to qualifying to race pace.
which resulted in 7 podiums vs 0. so really what was has been leclerc doing.
Max Verstappen on Kimi Antonelli's DNF
“Those things happen. The positive thing for him is that he once again showed very good pace, and I believe he had just overtaken his teammate when he retired. He has the speed. Sometimes reliability can be an issue, but that’s part of racing.”

@ArkhamusJ@000_beng@DavidSB4_ Nah, they weren't equal. Mercedes had their Brazil Spicy engine upgrade that gave them a power advantage on the fast flowing Jeddah circuit.

🎙️| Lando Norris:
"We're lucky Ferrari don't have a better engine. If they had a better engine, they would be dominating. They are the best of the field at cornering performance. We're not even close."
"If they improved the engine, they would be embarrassing everyone."
🚨| Mercedes is working to resolve reliability issues related to battery systems and electrical management within the PU.
This situation may require further intervention in the coming weeks and could limit Mercedes’ ability to fully develop its package in the short term.
🚨| The Ferrari team had planned a celebration in the pit lane, but in the garage, an inspection of the winning car is underway. It's a routine physical check of specific components in one randomly selected car. By chance, it fell on car #44. Team celebrating now!
If that new engine is anything serious Ferrari need to aim for the title NOW. No more project gimmick, no stopping development early so next years car is better. There are at least 15 races left this season with possibly Saudi coming back too. Go for it. This is the opportunity
