Lance Stroll has exuberantly hailed Adrian Newey’s impact on the Aston Martin team, as the legendary engineer contributes to its 2026 Formula 1 car design.
“Adrian right now, I think, is in a trance, focused on drawing next year's car,” Lance Stroll said. “He's just so passionate and excited about the new regs."
“What's awesome to see is just how much passion, focus, effort is going into the new regs and the team too, just being in a new environment, a new team, how he's just uplifting everyone, and just creating this healthier culture inside of the whole factory – that's pretty awesome to see.

“He's been doing it for this long and he's won more championships than anyone in this paddock, so I guess that says it all.”

F1TV is doing it again—spending way too long on onboard video that just show Alonso's helmet. Seriously, why am I watching a shot of his helmet for the past three minutes? It's not like it's doing anything interesting!

To be honest F1 is not so interesting these years

Looks like they were both running the short sidepods in FP1.

Points will be a struggle as expected here. Williams are fast. Ferraris on party mode at home, etc.. Need to improve from Fridays to Saturday for once.

Maybe they'll just lower the car and put it on the podium?

They can do split strategy, one car to be lowered for maximum performance and other car go on conservative mode. Considering the race pace we are at the lower end, nothing to lose, better to have some fun then fighting for 1 or 2 points.

Alonso on his revenge run

No Long sidepods in FP3...






They haven't used them in Quali or Race since Silverstone, when they were first seen.

Wasted a third set of softs when Alonso was clearly going to make it.

I watched the onboards. He went out on a new set. They should have brought him in on the warmup lap.

I checked on the onboards. They went away from their love of Alonso's helmet long enough for me to see the tires were shiny and new.

Alonso's whole first run was with the onboards looking at Alonso's helmet. I wrote a them scathing email.
