Are practice sessions being televised in the US anywhere tomorrow, or only on F1's streaming site?

I like this idea a lot, not gonna hold my breath about it but I do think it would massively improve the whole situation, at least from a fan perspective.


A bunch of has beens along with an overhyped wheelholder. Want Caddy to do well, but feel they'd be sabotaging themselves with any of those drivers.


I didn’t format this the best. I was agreeing with TouchedTheAxe’s proposal for Monaco.

As far as Cadillac, I don’t think putting any of those guys in the car would be their best bet. Would rather they go after someone like Gasly honestly. Isn’t old but also has a lot of experience and has been around multiple teams.

Horner wants V10s to make a comeback.

quote:

“Inadvertently, we’ve ended up with a very, very expensive, very complex engine from 2026 onwards.

“I think the purest in me would love to go back to a V10 that was done responsibly, with sustainable fuel.

“If that was reintroduced; the sound of grand prix racing, it's an interesting concept and one to certainly look for after this current set of regulations.”

Day 2 morning session

Everyone is running aero rakes mounted in various positions. Some have rakes just behind the front wheels, and some have rakes behind both the front and rear wheels. VCARB has a particularly large rake that sticks out quite a bit wider than the car.

Ferrari has a pair of tiny rakes mounted ahead of the front wing, but they pointed out that the rakes had some pitot tubes that were lower than the lower wing surface, so Hamilton had to be careful not to hit the rakes on a curb or something.

When I first saw all the rakes, I thought why didn't they do this on the first day, but they pointed out yesterday that they wanted all the drivers to get in as many laps as possible to get used to being in the cockpit again.

They noted that Max prefers to have the car to himself for the whole last day, so today is Lawson's last day in the car before the first race.

regarding Sainz in the Williams, 1:29:179 was last year's Q3 pole time for Max. Albon did a 1:30:222 in qualifying in the Williams.

Also, Carlos set the fastest time in 2024 testing at 1:29.921.

So, cars are a little quicker this year. I still won't believe Williams has it together until I see one of them on the podium.

Max was probably watching that on a monitor in the paddock and shaking his head. At least Sergio was easy to get along with, lol.
