2026 F1 Thread

I had figured the Ferrari engine has the smallest turbo and is a bit down on power to trade for drivability, it might be that Ferrari and HAAS are able to make it work with efficient aero while Cadillac are running a draggy car, but it seems really nervous and unstable in low speed corners despite the two veteran drivers.

Apparently Cadillac did also insist on designing their own gearbox carrier and rear suspension from the start as well, while HAAS use every available part they can including the whole rear end from Ferrari, and have their car manufactured by Dallara still rather than in-house. Doing it the hard way might teach them how to build a better car in the long term.

There may be a strike in Montreal on the race weekend.

I’m very pro labor myself.
