Aw Ferrari don’t have the spinny Macarena rear wing.
Coulthard apparently claims it could be a prank on rivals? https://www.gpfans.com/en/f1-news/1077307/ferrari-f1-2026-rear-wing-macarena-trick/
ferrari hopium at a high for the start of the season as usual
I’ll be waiting till at least FP3… and then - It’s always fun to at least think - for a minute, that anything is possible.
I don’t know about you Chuds but Kimi is taking pole this year at least once. Also Hulk podium at least twice this season. Watch for it.
What lap did “nerve damage gate” start on? I missed the session.
I suppose no nerve damage was had as Lance did 3 laps and Nando naught.Ah sorry that was just FP1, 13 and 17 laps respectively in FP2.
Was outside so I couldn’t watch FP1. Catching up right now.
Right off the bat, intro from Crofty:
“We are going to take it hopefully 24 rounds…”
