I think we have a good chance of getting an awesome season. The Ferrari is basically a new car. I doubt Red Bull will make any massive changes. McLaren will improve incrementally I reckon. Stroll will be ****.

Should be a good season
 
I anticipate the flexi wing debate to come back in a big way.
 
Championship title this year is going to be a good battle. Cannot wait.

Red Bull 'block' Adrian Newey 'tools' ahead of rival Aston Martin move

Due to Red Bull "blocking" Adrian Newey's "tools", plus the nature of the F1 2026 rules, he will be behind the curve at Aston Martin.

Due to Red Bull “blocking” Adrian Newey’s “tools” through gardening leave, plus the nature of the F1 2026 regulations, the F1 design guru admits he will be behind the curve at Aston Martin.
Newey is set to start Aston Martin life from 2 March, two months after teams are allowed to begin work on the huge regulatory reset coming for F1 2026, when new chassis and power unit rules are introduced.

With Aston Martin taking over use of the Honda power unit from Red Bull in 2026, the Silverstone squad will look to make its way towards F1 title glory with Newey focused on this upcoming new ruleset. However, he is battling against the odds.

While appearing on the Autocar podcast, it was put to Newey that while he has been on a period of soft gardening leave since May after announcing his Red Bull exit, with the RB17 hypercar his final focus, Red Bull cannot stop him thinking of innovations that will benefit his future employer Aston Martin.

He replied: “No, they can’t, but they’ve blocked my tools.

“So obviously, Aston wants to do the best job they can in ’25, but my main kind of focus will be the ’26 regulations and this big change, because I start on 2 March. The aero rules come out, I think, 1 January, or might be the second, whatever the working day is.

“So I’ll already be kind of two months behind the curve. But in truth, of course, it’s more than that, because not only will I be behind on the looking at those regulations compared to when they’ve come out… With the way the regulations have gone, you really need to be in front of a CAD [computer-aided design] system as well, to be able to understand all the boxes and so forth. They’re so prescribed.

Michael Schumacher's former nurse under investigation over alleged failed blackmail

A former nurse of Michael Schumacher is under investigation after accusations that she was involved in a failed blackmail plot.

A new investigation has been launched in Germany over the alleged involvement of a former nurse of Michael Schumacher in a failed plot to blackmail the F1 legend’s family.

Schumacher’s family were the target of an alleged blackmail attempt earlier this year with a former security guard of the legendary racing driver, Markus Fritsche, arrested along with two accomplices, Yilmaz Tozturkan, a nightclub bouncer, and his son.

Michael Schumacher’s former nurse accused of involvement in failed blackmail plot​

The trio are charged with attempting to extort €15million by threatening to publish 900 images and 583 videos of Schumacher, who has not been seen in public since suffering severe brain injuries in a skiing accident in December 2013.

Schumacher’s family have been fiercely protective of the 55-year-old’s privacy since the incident, with the exact nature of Schumacher’s condition unknown to the public.

The material purports to show Schumacher – who, according to prosecutor Daniel Muller, is “partly helpless, in need of care [and] visibly marked” by his injuries – in a hospital bed, in a wheelchair, partially dressed and attached to medical equipment, as well as private images of Schumacher before his accident.
 
Germans messing with a German icon...best beware if anyone gifts them train tickets.
