Yea they got to open it up the track a little bit in some areas. It’s boring if no one can pass the whole race. That’s my only complaint.

More Manufacturing Teams and Wider circuits is my hope one day for F1!
So fun to see Fernando running up into the crowd at the end and Schumacher fighting with Max, even if it was in a hampered RB.
Really hope to see Toyota GR (based on endurance success), Porsche, Audi and Andretti as their own teams, but understand the limitations.

Toyota spent a large fortune in F1 with bad results. I do t see them back.

Porsche and Red Bull deal sounds done.

An Austria announcement would seem to fit.

I understand Toyota F1 history BUT with the explosion of popularity and the success of Gazoo Racing involvement see link, last 5 LeMans and counting.
Never say Never

Ya think Honda goes quietly into the night?
Do they redesign for 2026 and reporters?
One thing I can say about Honda those MFrs can make some GREAT engines.
Seems minimal but they Totally disrupted the Portable home generator market and the Honda Accord redefined the auto industry for reliability.

F1 flexi-floor exploit revelations a "shocker", says Mercedes
Autosport understands that during talks in a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting in the week after the Canadian Grand Prix, suspicions emerged of some teams pushing the boundaries of the rules that are supposed to limit the flexing of their floors and planks.
The current regulations stipulate a maximum deflection of 2mm at the two middle plank holes and no more than 2mm at its rearmost hole in a bid to ensure that the floor is stiff enough.
However, there were claims some teams have managed to cleverly flex the floors by as much as 6mm in total, which would allow them to run with higher rake and much closer to the ground for increased performance without the risk of suffering the ill effects of ground strikes.
Sources suggest a number of teams were surprised at what their competitors had been up to, with Wolff confessing how taken aback he was about the situation.
"Nobody had an idea until the FIA brought it up in the last Technical Advisory Committee, which was to a great surprise of all the teams," he explained.
"What's in the regulation and what the intent of the regulations is pretty clear. I mean, there's is no argument why that could deflect more than what's in the regs. So a bit of a surprise to say the least: more a shocker."
While it is unclear which teams were potentially playing around with flexi floors, Mercedes trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin reckoned that the change could help move his squad nearer the front.
"When it came to light, we realised there's opportunities that we've perhaps not been taking or exploiting," he said.
"So it won't affect us in how we run our car. It may well be it affects our competitors, and, by virtue of that, we move a little bit closer."
How do teams get away with something like this for 10 races? Does the FIA not check these things on a regular basis?
Will we see Mercedes push for the first win of this season at the smooth Paul Ricard French Grand Prix? I know they traditionally struggle at Austria, so they are not winning there.

It is freaking ingenious if they are pulling off what is alleged.
Until the under pics were revealed there was no idea. Some teams took the titanium allowed and beefed up the connection points to pass the flex test on the plank, but knowingly have the rest flexing.
If you believe everything said, they FIA figured it out just by eye; which gives an idea of how much reverse engineering they are doing.

For the amount spent in this sport that level of engineering doesn't shock me. Impress me Hell yes but not shock me.
As I Have dug deeper into my following of F1 and where the money is spent, you start to understand why companies like Porsche and Audi want to wait for major rule changes i.e. new engines before jumping Into the fray

Did they ever show a replay of this? or photos. I was watching but I guess didn't notice it during the race.

Mick may have beat him to the line if he didn't lift when Max chopped him.
He played it safe and got the points which was smart. I really doubt he would have been penalized if he had stayed in it as he was well alongside and gaining.

Ok that replay shows it a little better. Hmm.
I would have liked Mick to have passed him, but I dont think that was too bad. Not nearly as bad as Checco and Hamilton. I don't pull for Hamilton at all, but Checco had him completely off the track. I'm sure Ferrari wouldn't have complained if they both were penalized.
