Whoops, I totally missed this.
"RBR is expected to debut a new aerodynamic configuration at the Canadian Grand Prix, focusing on modifications to the floor and potentially the front wing. The team is aiming to improve the car's performance in the mixed sections of the circuit and address its unpredictable handling on these sections. Specific changes may include alterations to flow conditioners in the lower part of the floor and a revised diffuser throat."

No opinion expressed on the 2026 cars or their powere units...from any team.

Didnt realize you were literally talking about pit lane selection..

OK, let's not disclose that it's venturi related, deal ?

Williams HAD a faster car than Ferrari, but Sainz ain't Charles, and he sure as hell isn't anywhere on Lewis. He has nothing on him.

Loser mentality is why people keep talking about Ham. He's the benchmark, and all the losers want to see him fail. Some pissants on the internet think he's overrated, but all his peers regard him as one of if not the greatest.

Former senior Ferrari employee revealed how Fernando Alonso was worried about Lewis Hamilton

“In my time at Ferrari, Lewis was the only other driver Fernando [Alonso] worried about. Yes, other drivers might have been in faster cars and he’d accept that. But on a Grand Prix weekend whenever you’d discuss the challenges, it was only ever Hamilton that Fernando referenced as being a threat, solely because of what he could deliver as a driver.”

LOL - an anonymous quote from a 'former engineer'. Fake news at best. A real quote from a guy who knew Ham better than most, Lauda, said Max "was the talent of the century" NOT Ham. He knew who the true talent was having access to all the granular data on them both.

Ham had the greatest car in history that made anyone look good no matter their skill level which is saying a lot. He is not half as good as Schumacher, or Senna, or Max. Probably isnt as good as Prost, Piquet, Clark, Fangio, or Mansel either. He's lucky if someone considers him top 10. Simply a product of a car that was fast with no other competitive car/driver combos until Max put him down like a rabid animal in 2021 in his slower car.

The only loser is Ham who cant drive a fast car fast (only fast when he has the only fast car) and cant beat anyone who is decent or better and always blames everyone for his lack of pace except himself, which he himself is by and large the only reason he is slow.

Calling this out again since you never answer. I want to bet that Ham will not win WDC like you claim. I am upping to $50,000 now. Your move (which will be a non response because you know like most of your predictions it is wrong).

ever heard of intercooler, radiator, hot Vee, cold air intake ...

well if i had dry ice for my Hot V V8 intercooled twin turbo, my engine would last longer and move faster

and drain my wallet faster than i my V8 can drink gas

Posting current WDC odds (a $200 wager on Hamilton pays $50,000)
Love this season.

those are standard things in most cars of course, so then where would that be stored in a normal car, the boot?

Well FP1 has started and MAX is fast out of the traps so let's hope these venturi's are made of something solid.

Niki Lauda calls F1 driver Max Verstappen "the talent of the century "
A declaration so soon in the century...how does he know what the next 75 years will bring? What confidence!

[M5Rick]

^ Where are your guys can't see them at the mo, biding their time..

[M5Rick]

It's worth mentioning that it's Haas's 200th F1 Grands Prix at Montreal so I'll be hoping Ollie does well here.

Charlie hits the wall twice prompting a red flag and that will keep the mechanics busy for a while replacing suspensions.

The hulk was going hulk mode in the last corner to the chequered flag

i don't know man, one of them will be crashed half the time and the other one will finish the race.

(Charles crashed again in FP1)

i leave that to BMW's German engineers!

they have increased the size of all their cars, removed all their spare tires, yet the boot space is half the size of what they used to be so i'm sure half the boot is empty space behind the felt liners (i know because i peeled them to see what's behind those partitions)

but my wallet won't be able to afford the dry ice ... so it shall be refilled only once a year at most!

[M5Rick]

Woah! MAX has to dip onto the grass avoiding a sliding LEW...phew!

[M5Rick]

MAX: "Again, not giving me a lot of space".
