🚨According to rumours from Gazzetta dello Sport, all the big 3 power units have found more power through reliability:
- Ferrari: around 30 hp;
- Mercedes: around 16 hp;
- Redbull: around 10 hp.

Only Renault have not made similar gains in this way, leading them to be suspicious of rivals: in fact Alpine engineers claim to have requested and made changes to parts of their PU without having achieved any performance gains.

As Alpine executive director Bruno Famin questions “what is a pure, genuine reliability issue?". “Behind the reliability issue you often have a potential performance gain..."

So how many laps in Bahrain before Ferrari laps Red Bull? 5? 10? And that's before tuning the engine to the max. ;)

I wonder how many races it'll take for this year's Ferrari hype train to collapse.

Come on. Their pit strategy is joke.

Sulayem's made a mistake here. He was gaining the good will of F1 fans by fighting to give Andretti a chance, but now it looks like he's trying to hurt F1 by questioning its value in public. If Saudis wanted to pay 20 billion, then it means F1 is worth at least as much. It's not like they're some shady company throwing insane numbers without anything to back it up.

Of course as an F1 fan I wouldn't want it to be controlled by the Arabs, but you can't deny they wouldn't be able to pay this sum and if other parties would be interested in the future they'd have to challenge that offer.

Ford's return was the worst kept secret lol. Porsche must have offered them a crappy deal if they refused and only months later signed with Ford.

It's also very exciting what Honda will do... since Red Bull will have both of their teams with their RBPT-Ford engines they'll have to look elsewhere. And starting with Williams or Haas will be tough.

A bunch of the grid has been scaling back liveries and adding black as a way to save on weight.

Mercedes actually called dibs on the all black bare carbon car. The only painted parts are for aero and logo purposes.

It fits with them as they already had the title winning W11 in black.
