F1 2026 - Watchalong Thread

Happy New Year.

This is going to be an interesting year with the regulation change.

Rumours are Mercedes and RB engines are exploiting a loophole and so may have the most powerful engines.

AM will have a car with significant input from Adrian Newey.

Sauber becomes Audi and we have an 11th team, Cadillac.

Christian Horner seems very keen to get back into F1, preferably Alpine with Flávio - they deserve each other.

There is closed door testing in Barcelona then open testing from 11 February at Sakhir.

Edited for typo and thread title.

Great racing ftom Hadjar

Well done George. Max & Kimi - Sadly the Ferraris just didn’t have the pace on the hard tyres.

Well done George. Really pleased.

but Max & Kimi drove brilliantly

Wish Kimi had reached Max the lap before to see them race

Oscar too, brilliant to get up to 4th.

Same

What a great race. I wish I liked George more, pleased for more points for Max and Lewis, I would like Kimi's lead reined in a bit before the break.
This is not going to be McLaren's season.
Aston, Caddy and Williams are just dreadful 😑

I really like George but I think it’s partly because his demeanour is similar to several members of my family so I understand his personality.
they come across stand offish but really are not.

Brilliant result today. T poses all around.

It's a pity that Haas aren't quite up to speed. Ollie hasn't scored points lately.

Hopefully Ollie can do a bit better at Silverstone.

im unlikely to be able to watch next weeks race as im attending an event my son is in on Sunday.

but Saturday I’m at Silverstone!

A bit disappointed for the ferraris, especially Charles who was so close to getting pole yesterday.
But he did complete the race in one piece (without inchident) which is a relief
Happy for OP to work up to 4th - was better than we expected. Despite having a few fastest laps, he fell back off the pace of Max and kimi quite a lot at the end.

Anyone going to Silverstone this weekend?

YES!!!!!!!

Me!

Lego cars again! I will have to watch Sunday on catch up.

We're going on holiday so will miss the sprint race but hopefully will catch quali and the race on Sunday 🙏

Has anyone else seen the options for the last 2 races of the season to replace Qatar and AD. I read they are making a decision by Spa. (19 July)

Yes Best race of 2025

Loved how much fun and how hysterical they were in the lego cars!

The Lego cars are a different design - I bet they are all going to race to be driver.

For those going to Silverstone remember suncream, hat and rainwear - you never know.

Have a fantastic weekend.

I think they learnt from last time and gave them bumpers!

I’ve just brought some tickets for tomorrow. Hamilton Straight A. Sooooooo excited now.

Get to watch the sprint and qualifying. Eeek

Jealous of the Silverstone goers. 5 Brits is epic, have a great time
🌞🍻🏎

Have a fantastic time.

I hope everyone going has a lovely time. The weather's looking great
