It looked like things were going to improve after Hungary, but it’s clear that Honda failed again with the Spec 2: the engine is incredibly weak and has constant issues. Nothing changed it just brought more problems. I have absolutely no hope for 2027; it’s highly likely we’ll finish dead last again next year
I don't know if there was an issue, is just simply slow ...2x passed Bottas ,but on the straight got almost 1 second and Bottas car definitely not 100% if we compare to Cheko the place.

It has zero interest to watch F1 for AM followers. This car shouldn't even be allowed to race. And yes, it's just because the PU is ridiculous. I had hopes on Honda but, well... Facts speak by themselves.

The new Ferrari engines have 20 more horsepower, making the Cadillacs more robust in a straight line. The Audis struggled against the Mercedes and Red Bull powered units, and Bortoleto struggled to stay ahead of Perez at one point.

Next week will be a more normal week when horsepower does not mean absolutely everything.

What happened to Alonso's car? I have a feeling that he just got so frustrated to be repassed every time on main straight and he just parked the car.

Very bad sound. It screams "something's wrong". Aramco oil I guess... :)

IMHO, you need a 3 year freeze to prep for new regs. So I wouldn't bet on new regs before they drop the freeze. Once they drop the freeze, the you know for certain when the new regs are coming.
I don't think any freeze is needed. There didn't use to be. And apparently it doesn't accomplish anything. For example see the situation Honda's in.
The FIA don't care what you and I think. Plus they already agreed to tweaking the rules for 2027 and 2028.

Fortunately then, that I responded to you, not the FIA.
