There is some potential for AMR. If they can design a competitive car Cowell will work very well with Sakura. AMG and Honda will be the top PU's in 2026.

Let's hope so. I would love for AMR to get back to being competitive again. Last year was exciting to see the progress they made, now not so much. Just want to see some form of improvement.

If youtube offered a per session package, for a couple of $ per weekend, I would buy no question, the quality of the streaming service here is dire, bad, but yet youtube works 100% of the time.. Even if it cost a bit more on the youtubes, I would prefer that over the crappy streaming turd service we have here..

I see Norris crashing out in Austria led to a sell-out at Silverstone after they were worried about attendance two weeks ago.

Anyone see Flavio in the McLaren garage last weekend? :p

As FP2 gets under way, Red Bull has been fined €20,000 for Isack Hadjar almost causing a collision with Lando Norris. Lance Stroll also received a €15,000 fine for blocking Charles LeClerc. And Pierre Gasly has had to replace his battery, resulting in a 20-grid spot penalty. So Alpine decided to replace the entire PSU.

With a 30-place grid penalty, does that mean he starts from the old grid on the other side of the track? :p

Karun Chandhok believes that Mercedes and Ferrari were sand-bagging while McLaren and Perez were not. That being said, he also believes Lando will win the GP.

Guess we will know more after FP3 tomorrow since everyone will be on low-fuel qualifying simulation runs.
