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.
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/
Right off the bat, intro from Crofty:
“We are going to take it hopefully 24 rounds…”
Was outside so I couldn’t watch FP1. Catching up right now.
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.
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.
