2026 Motorsports Season

One more test to go, lots of BS flowing, whos quickest and politics whos doing what.
Times don't mean much yet, Suspect next week we get better idea.

Also lots of complaining about car, slower in turns, early lifting and downshifting
to Harvest energy for more HP

Some saying less a race car than strategy, guess we all see in Melbourne
what the racing is like.

I just read this Road & Track headline.

“Hamilton, Alonso, and Verstappen are not big fans of the new, more regen-focused cars.”

I just hope there isn't a huge discrepancy on how the various teams cars perform this season. The best racing to watch is when cars are evenly matched, and the drivers have talent.

Typically regulation changes creates gaps
Most teams close it fast, some take 2-3 years

Interesting I read today F1 management are not happy with drivers comments.
Popularity is at all time high and growing
They want this to continue so
Could we or will we see fast changes
If so so racing?
 
Last day of testing today in Bahrain, before season starts
in Melbourne Australia.

Ferrari sets fastest time, but many believe Mercedes is sandbagging.
Merc is figured to best going into Melbourne,
Ferrari seems to have some tricks, 180 degree rear wing, trick defuser
we will see if any of this plays out to be a bonus.
Merc, Ferrari, Maclaren and Redbull look to still be top 4, at least to start.

Audi looks solid, Caddy doing ok, but nothing earth shattering,
the Big Surprise is Aston Martin, ( newys car) does not look good,
barely done any laps, Honda on back foot, how bad is it?

I expect fast changes even before Melbourne, some quick upgrades for all teams
as they all come to grips with massive rule changes.

Looks like power management will be the biggest skill to learn and deploy,
Faster on Striaghts and slower in turns and for now, not looking like any
improvment in overtaking, Most drivers thinks its not pure F-1.
I guess we all see in a few weeks.
