He's very strong in S3 where the low speed corners are.

I sincerely hope RB ditch these ancient air to air intercoolers for next year. It’s a big packaging penalty and clearly the system doesn’t perform to the same standard as what McLaren uses. Weight seems to be the only benefit, but it can’t be much.

For me i think cooling with air is cool it show they are pushing tech hard .it will have been easier to do it with water but you have carry the water while sloshing around and have to pump it which sup energy from pu

He knows...

Irrelevant session, but it's a good start I guess.

Was Tsunoda the only driver outpaced by one of the young stand-ins?

No, Ocon, Colapinto, Albon, Hadjar and Alonso too.

Monaghan was interviewed by Italian TV:
- we picked up from the last stages of floor upgrades where we found something that was missed in the last upgrade and it was worth bringing it here, we had to change a bit the floor because the touching point with the top side changed (my impression, the real upgrade was on revised cooling, and new floor is an adaptation to that)
- more, more and more resources are for 2026, but there's the chance to win this championship we'd be foolish not to try to win it
- [praising Honda] we hope we don't have to go over the limit [PU wise, I got the feeling that they are a bit worried on this side]
- there are one or two more things that we could bring, but they are very small

They believe.

Looking at the results, yes Yuki was the only driver to be outpaced by a young stand-in, in the same car. Lindblad also finished ahead of Ocon, Colapinto, Albon, Hadjar, and Alonso.

According to AutoRacer's editorial staff, the original plan was to bring the latest updates to Brazil, but once again in Milton Keynes they pushed on the accelerator and tried to catch everyone off guard.

If this update could improve medium corner speed and in the end also tyre wear a bit more this would be
The hard tyre might be more of an option this weekend if I understood Vowles correctly, which would be good news.

I think yuki is done after the year. Sky interviewed marko after Fp1 and he said lindblad was told not to trash the car but still went as faster than yuki and according to marko gave good technical feedback, and he was impressed.

according to Italian commentator (pinch of salt etc) it's Mercedes

Mark Hughes said it's not Red Bull. So its not RBR or Aston Martin.
