Surprised Brown doesn't already have that in his collection... He has some amazing cars and a couple of Senna's vehicles.

Anyone else putting Ferrari 1/2? They're bringing the flippy floppy wing, that thing plus maybe getting the strategy right might just put them up there.

I’m seriously considering it. Lewis is gonna have to prove he can beat Charles before I pick him to win tho.

It’s apparently being called The Macarena wing?!

Ferrari strategy, lol

I think Mercedes can just turn up their power and beat whoever they need to until proven otherwise.

I think Ferrari are all in on this season. Supposedly the engine they are using now was a transitional engine and they have another engine already running on the test bench. They are designing it for the 27 season but say they could use it this year if needed.

This is crazy to say out loud. Accidentally passed someone he didn’t want to pass in a race.

Hadj showed the RB has some pace as long as it doesn’t implode.

Wow, this is very interesting to me. Many years ago my brother sat in this car when Lotus was the featured marque at the Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca. There was an '85 and '86 Lotus (both driven by Senna, and the '86 was definitely a race-winning chassis) sitting next to each other.. My impression at the time was that some Japanese dude owned both of them. My brother was peering into the cockpit and the Japanese dude asked if he wanted to sit in it. My brother, who is about 5'7" 150 lbs, could barely squeeze into the cockpit. It was super tight, and I think Senna was 5'8" or 5'9". I have a picture of him in the car, but it's a print (this was pre-smart phone era)

More recently, I tried to see if the internet had info on who owned old F1 cars, and the impression I got was that the internet thinks the Lotus heritage group "Classic Team Lotus" owned all of the old Lotus F1 cars. But now I know it's not true. This one has been in private hands the whole time.

If fans got a vote we would have V12s running at 18,000+ RPMs this weekend.

A1 Grand Prix series had said they were going to make a comeback. Not exactly that lineup but that direction.

Seeing lots of articles about drivers complaining about the starting procedure being dangerous.
Drivers complaining about 50-50 split formula.
Max comparing the cars to Mario Kart.
