Both Piastri and Leclerc had low top speed in fp2, both had excellent race simulation time. Were they using a similar setup? I can't agree with Williams, although it could be beneficial for the team (in F1 currency, not popularity).

As far as scheduling goes, there's zero reason why the season should both start and end in the same region, whatever region that may be. This doesn't shorten transportation in any way, which should be F1s primary scheduling concern if they're trying to be efficient and "green"

Officially as far as I'm concerned, the first race of the season.

Best reports as always

5 kph between them all. How much was that in 2015, closer to 20 kph, I guess?

I actually miss the period of time when we had the crazy rainbow tires. Not just because you knew exactly where those tires fell in the range, but more about there simply being more compounds in that range. . Current C1 - C5 = 5 different compounds Then C0 - C6 = 7 different compounds Also - I hate that they stopped letting the Teams choose the quantity of each set.

The best F1 analysis. Supreme knowledge and incredible details as always. Thank you so much Peter!

That McLaren car is the coolest looking car from the front , and that is the best pic yet ive seen of it .. great shot .. the color scheme along with the design of that car is super racey.

Is this race inline for most DNF's of the season? A lot of drivers struggling out there..

Love your content and analytical approach- have a reluctant question - given industry standard gardening leave - suppose Ferrari were to offer Newey a hypercar project and Newey were to leave to go to Ferrari would the first F1 car Newey could materially work on be the 2027 ? Perhaps at which time Max could move over from RedBull if RedBull struggles in 2026 ?

Newey is in his comfort zone, he does as he pleases and basically his own boss at RB. Why would he move to Italy and go work in a corporate structure with deadlines, red tape and Italian politics ??.

Maybe. He was best of non Redbull last season so from bird’s eye view looks like he adapted as much as the w14 allowed. In recent interviews he looks a bit demotivated (maybe, I’m over reading his body language and Lew does have a history of slow starts to a season) but at this point he looks like he’s already got one foot out the door. And the reality is, as much as George is currently extracting more performance from the 15, it’s still no more than one step forward, two steps back: Mercedes have got their heads stuck up their arses atm and they just don’t know how to find their way out.

Hardly a glorious p3 but best of the rest yea, but its not saying much with how inconsistent and bad the rivals were.

Regarding Melbourne as the 1st race: I think we lost a lot when pre-season moved from Barcelona to the location of the first race. The race then became an extension of testing because there's not enough time between for the teams to change anything. So there's no intrigue.

It’s not a strange decision to me at all that they’re giving Albon the car. If there’s a 50% chance that Albon scores points on Sunday, then it’s a about a 5% chance that Sargeant does it (if we’re being generous). Albon scored 27 points to Logan’s 1 last year which was achieved via double DSQ of drivers in the points. Sitting Albon out would be throwing away any potential of scoring🤷‍♂️

I think it is despicable that Albon is being allowed to race in Sargent's car... That is how you destroy the mentality of one side of the garage. And for the odd chance that Albon won't bin it (like he did last year AND this year) and get a point... the chances of Williams scoring a point have to be less than 10 percent. It's really a disaster-class in management by Vowles.

"Flipping a coin" on the tyres sounds like the FIA is introducing an element of luck. I do not think an F1 race, possibly a Championship, should be influenced my mere chance.
