Unfun fact - Matt Harman joined Williams in 2024 to take up the position of Design Director before becoming Technical Director. He was previously the Technical Director at Alpine. The Alpine A524 failed the FIA crash test ahead of the 2024 season.

2 cars failing their crash test in the span of 3 seasons under your watch is not a good look.

Needs to lose his job

Hope we can recover the season - quite frustrating as the indication was we were progressing very well for the season
 
The Mercedes W17 has made its track debut at Silverstone.

In the hands of George Russell and Kimi Antonelli, the W17 completed 67 laps of the International Circuit, just short of 200 km of total mileage.

"We have had a sensible first day of running with the W17," said Andrew Shovlin. "As with any shakedown, the focus is on ensuring everything operates safely and reliably.

"We were able to get through our allotted mileage, with both George and Kimi getting to experience the 2026 car on track for the first time.


"That is testament to the hard work of everyone at Brackley and Brixworth. Our attention now turns to Barcelona where we will look to build on today's running and add to our understanding of the W17."

The team now heads to Spain for three days of running planned across the five-day event (26-30 January). End of day press releases will be shared with media from Barcelona including quotes from drivers and senior team personnel.

The motorsport world is buzzing after Ferrari announced the signing of 21-year-old Alba Larsen for the 2026 F1 Academy season. The young Danish driver, who has shown tremendous promise in the lower racing categories, now finds herself stepping into one of the most coveted and pressure-filled seats in Formula 1. While many see this as a bold, future-focused decision by Ferrari, others question whether a sophomore driver, still relatively inexperienced, can truly carry the weight of Ferrari’s storied legacy and intense expectations.

I think Lewis is doing a sterling job of lowering expectations to make her path smoother
