It's a livery launch, in Saudi Arabia it seems, so not sure if it is the actual car that will run in Bahrain in a couple of days or just a show car. Seems like show car?
9 February is just the start. On 11-13 February and 18-20 February, the team will be in Bahrain for pre-season testing, where AMR26 breaks cover in its new livery. Then, they'll travel to Australia for the opening round of the 2026 Formula One World Championship in Melbourne on 6-8 March.

It is an unpopular opinion around here, but I still feel this revolving door of leadership positions is disconcerting. A lack of continuity from the top is never good to build team growth.

I always said that CEO is a non technical position. Yes you need some knowledge but it's non technical. I found it strange that Cowell would insert himself into the TP roll from the CEO roll. From interviews, Cowell sounded like he was going to learn the aero stuff "on the job". Sounds like Newey just said, we'll have none of that. Go back to your CEO roll, play with PUs or be gone. He seems to have accepted the later.

In the end, to your statement about the revolving door. The team has been doing poorly, not sure how it doing poorly or having incompetent leaders helps team growth? It will come down to whether we stop at Newey and if Newey is going to be an improvement. I am sure that bringing in Newey and Cardile has been a major boost to personnel moral.

Was supposed to start 17 minutes ago, kind of started a few minutes ago, then froze. Now starting again.

And now it froze again at 20:25...
