How do you spend the entire previous season working on your car and not have it done in time. They didn’t even have to design the engine.

Could be a tradeoff in what is learned versus what is gained. I don't think skipping any on track testing can be made into a positive.

Unless they had some very recent learnings or advancement where testing on track is a wash with the design they would bring versus what they will have in two weeks. At least they may save some cost cap room to be applied.

Appears the rumors about Williams not making it to Barcelona were true


We have seen this story happen before with Wiliams

That season was terrible for them

First look at the front wing DRS. It completely fold out of the way.

Yeah, absolutely. Remember MissionWinnow?

I never actually looked up what MissionWinnow was until today. Between that and advertisements for alcohol free beers like Heineken 0.0 they have kinda circumvented the purpose of the rule. Should just let Marlboro come back at this point.

The barcode only on the Ferrari was pretty clever too

Lando just started streaming on Twitch. There were instantly 29,000 viewers.

It's impossible to read all of the chat messages. They are streaming by so fast.

It's not clear yet if he's going to say anything about F1.

Edit: Oh he said he's going to play some CS.

That livery and the orange and white McLaren Senna drove are iconic F1 liveries. The Jordan 7up car is my sleeper pick.


Reports coming out that Williams won’t make the test because they havent been able to pass the crash test yet

I guess reports they were building two cars were correct. Hope it works out for them.

They claimed he didn’t break down. They planned to stop at that spot on the track. Wanted to save as many of their allotted kilometers for testing as possible. No need to finish the lap.

Edit: found it
