Sure, Fridays usually don't mean TOO much...but the 2026 edition of the #F1 #AustralianGP was weirdly revealing.
McLaren stepped up whilst Ferrari and Mercedes jostle for victory...and Aston Martin? Well...what more can we say?

Already the outlook on #F1 in 2026 is less bleak than the start of 2014:
- the cars sound (pretty much) the same
- reliability is not too shabby
- there are quite a few drivers vying for the win/pole instead of just one team
The regulations will be refined in due course. :)
P1 in #AustralianGP FP1 (2022 vs 2026 - start of ground effect era vs today):
('22: Carlos Sainz - 1.19:806)
('26: Charles Leclerc - 1.20:267)
Only four tenths off. Not bad at all! #F1
Granted, three seconds off of '25's FP1 best but again, not terrible given the changes.
Nico ALMOST did the legendary George pose...
...but then was like "Nah!" #F1
In a surprise twist, Adrian Newey declares his #F1 car as unsafe over a full race distance.
The cause? The vibrations...and that might be on Honda mostly to solve ASAP. The chassis? Oh that's not bad at all!

Max Verstappen has the FIA over a barrel. Hitting #F1 right where it hurts: its optics. That the new #Formula1 rules could be hard to follow or explain.
Could the loss of casual fans get the #FormulaOne figureheads to listen? Drivers having a bigger voice than ever?
youtu.be/Vv68hSm7bqQ
Just imagine if Ferrari wins the constructors' this year. Should Lewis Hamilton retire and Red Bull fall off, Max might decide to have a Ferrari swansong after all...as long as the success keeps on coming.
A real fly in the ointment for Oliver Bearman, that would be. #F1
No more sandbags. It's time for #F1 to get back to work. Here are my #AustralianGP predictions for 2026. It might be a George vs Charles battle for the lead...and could Oscar Piastri take what he believes he deserves?

They probably did...but this is a more public reminder.

Honda is going FULL Max Verstappen and not allowing Aston Martin to control the narrative around its #F1 car.
Laying the blame on...nobody, really. Giving the precise details instead of promises. Here's why this will help Papa Stroll's team.

Audi have been a sleeper hit of the #F1 2026 test phase.
They now figure as a proper challenger for the midfield pack...all simply by proving they can develop quickly.
We're entering their dark horse era.

ngl I'm stoked to see the battle between Alpine, Haas and Audi.
How does Franco fare with a proper testing program underneath him? How has Toyota's technical backing helped out Haas over the winter? Audi's MASSIVE upward trend in Bahrain!
Fun times. #F1
Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso had a yap session, recently.
For 20 minutes, they realised their #F1 teams were in similar situations...now it's up for each team to show what they're gonna do about their suboptimal cars.
An indirect warning?

Why are you bringing this up NOW, George Russell?
Russell brings up the Horner saga again, citing the Verstappens as 'manipulative'. A hot take or a means to safeguard his own Mercedes #F1 seat? Discuss.
(It helps that the sport's having a crisis too.)

potentially. If Fernando retires and Lance has had enough, Yuki could be a quick fix.

I seriously think this year's #F1 silly season could be very dull. The pecking order hasn't changed dramatically enough to get drivers' hands twitching yet.
My only side-eyes are Doohan replacing Ocon and a possible Aston bid to grab Carlos should Nando retire. That's it.
You know the drill.
Bookmark this video to come back and roast me later. It's the predictions for the team/driver #F1 titles of 2026, everybody!

Aston Martin don't know what sort of car they have for #F1 2026...at least not yet.
Fernando still has hope though...and that means a lot...once hope dies from Alonso's side? Oof.
How bad is it REALLY within Aston?

Hard to in such limited characters. As of now, FA has pointed out what's to be done. He's not speaking like it were a funeral. There's hope.

It feels weird to say this but Fernando Alonso is the biggest thing holding Aston Martin together right now. Lance can't think ahead whereas Fernando CAN.
Forget pinching Leclerc, Adrian...you've gotta do everything you can to KEEP Nando around for another year. #F1
Not another problem for Mercedes to brace for. First it was all about the engine compression, then some reliability issues last week...
and now? A fuel issue...it's not signed off yet!
#F1 #Formula1 #FormulaOne

We want a pecking order for #F12026...how about this?
Based on lap counts + tyre choices (NOT lap times) we can see which #F1 team has a rocket or a tractor...and Charles Leclerc? Lewis Hamilton? They're trying to hide their relief!

Just 19 days before #F12026 kicks off and Red Bull loses their chief designer.
But is this for the best? Could a change of lead be good in an #F1 spec which is less about aero and more about energy?
#Formula1 #FormulaOne
youtu.be/i2GK4ZdI_fc
Ferrari DID warn everyone but did they listen? Apparently not!
Now #F1 has a notable startline crisis to manage...and the Scuderia are not moved. Helps they've got themselves a very good car as of now. The least dramatic of all!
Does this bode well?
#Formula1 #FormulaOne

The dream for Fernando Alonso's 33rd win is slipping. What happened to Aston Martin's #F1 car?
Well, it could be a good car...just massively underbaked and underpowered. At least Nando's not resorted to dark comedy yet...
#Formula1 #FormulaOne
youtu.be/vLtpf4zK6vg
Toto Wolff gasses up Red Bull after first day of #F1 testing...is he for real? Kinda...but it's still a political choice.
That being said, there's some truth regarding Max Verstappen's expert trick to keep that RB22 on song. So what's going on?
#Formula1 #FormulaOne
youtu.be/WuXoxm12c0Y
The FIA spoke out about the ongoing #F1 engine debate...and it's not exactly helped. Couple that with Cadillac stoking the fire alongside Ferrari.
How is this all going to end with only WEEKS to go before Melbourne?

I respect Cadillac's hustle.

With all 11 #F1 cars out there (or at least their liveries), let's rate them worst to best. Where does the Cadillac stack up amongst the old #Formula1 guard?
#FormulaOne
youtu.be/i8CduEQ4o6c
Cadillac's #F1 team doesn't want our European pity. They want to be taken seriously and NO excuses for their first #Formula1 season...and to not come last.
With a car which is a lot deeper than I thought at 3am. They could easily finish P10. Or higher?
