I kind of hope it causes Lance to drop out of F1.
Alsonso said if he’s up fighting in the lead he could drive the car for hours that way.

I might have brought bad information yesterday. I haven’t seen anyone else reporting that Pirelli is doing away with the tire stripe. Saw it multiple times yesterday and then it disappeared, my bad.

I wanna see the practice starts with the supposed 10 second charge up that they need.

Ferrari should be raising more hell than they are for this. Because everyone chose not to build a proper car we have to change the rules for them.

I don’t disagree but shouldn’t they have way more than enough time? It’s going to take a long damn time for 22 cars to get lined up.

“For the safe and orderly conduct of the Competition, once all F1 Cars starting from the grid have returned to the grid at the end of the formation lap or laps prior to the Race, the starting grid light panels will be illuminated blue (flashing) for 5 seconds and the information panel on the start gantry will display the message 'Pre-Start', following which the light sequence defined in to Article B5.7.2 of the FIA F1 Regulations will commence.”

— Additionally, it has been agreed that Straight Mode, part of the new active aerodynamics, will only be available for use after Turn 1 on the opening lap.

Jesus Christ, so the front of the grid could potentially sit for close to a minute as their tires cool down.

They need to shorten the gap between cars to 5 car lengths if implementing this.

It's 7 hours until the first FP1 session of the 2026 season!

I watched the Weekend Warm Up this morning after it aired last night so I’m hopeful practice is the same way

I'm really interested to see what the driver's have to say about having to run both a straight-line mode button and a Manual Override Mode button.

I'm not sure why they won't all just put a piece of tape over the straight-line mode one. I can't think of a situation where you wouldn't want to use it when it is available.

To be fair the part of Azerbaijan the bombed is barley part of the country as in it is separated from the mainland by Armenia.
