Honda switching to Aston Martin for 2026 was my understanding, that's all.
Yes, they are one of the manufacturers who committed to the 2026 engine regulations and will be powering Aston Martin.Is Honda planning on staying in F1?
Thought so.Yes, they are one of the manufacturers who committed to the 2026 engine regulations and will be powering Aston Martin.
Lots of rumours linking Tsunoda to Aston because of this as Honda have backed most of his career.
I mean I'd be personally giving them the middlest of middle fingers.
Yeah sad to see Bottas go, so much potential in there somewhere that was so close to being realised at Mercedes. But it is good to see a wave of top young drivers coming through again, something F1 needs every now and then is new drivers coming up otherwise you just have a grid of mediocrity.Bortoleto gets the 2nd seat at Audi. Happy to see another new face on the grid, but a bit sad that it's the end of the road for Bottas (he's going to be the Mercedes reserve).
I may have to boot up F1 Manager and get him a WDC. If I remember right he was rated very well in the first one and Alfa were quite easy to upgrade.Yeah sad to see Bottas go, so much potential in there somewhere that was so close to being realised at Mercedes.
Wonder if he might make the jump to Supercars or if he is the F1 driver touted with a rally drive in WRC.Adelaide native here, I guess I’ll start seeing Bottas around town a lot more often now.

"No, my driver is also called Bort."
He was asked about it and said “Eventually you’ll see me doing a Supercars race, no doubt”. Source.Wonder if he might make the jump to Supercars or if he is the F1 driver touted with a rally drive in WRC.
I can see Zhou going back to F2.Figured that Audi would be cleaning house when they take over next year. I have to admit it is getting quite interesting seeing how much new blood is coming into the grid next season, I had thought everyone would wait until 2026 to really shake things up.
So it looks like Bottas is going to be camping in Mercedes' simulator until he probably gets offered an Indycar seat (unless Antonelli proves to be a complete washout), and Zhou will likely vanish into Formula E and be a mention in some Youtuber's "What ever happened to them" video in five years or so.
Because he's British, of course.The jewelry thing seemed to be targeting Lewis specifically (without saying it explicitly)
I wonder why…………
Even as a Finn, I don't think the potential ever was there. He had a couple of successes in the Williams but then again, so did Pastor Maldonado and there's a guy nobody rates at all - and for a reason. Bottas did well in the Mercedes but the car was so stupidly fast that even GP2 drivers could top testing time sheets with it (it actually happened) and the only driver we can compare him to is Hamilton. And while I'm certainly opening a can of worms here, Hamilton isn't exactly unbeatable himself - he's been outscored over a full season by Rosberg, Button, and now at least once, perhaps twice by Russell in similar cars. Bottas was never even anywhere near.Yeah sad to see Bottas go, so much potential in there somewhere that was so close to being realised at Mercedes.
I think they are lumping the damage from substitute drivers onto the driver they are replacing. Magnussen's cost went up after this round by 1 front wing due to Bearman's spin.F1s World Destructors Championship after Brazil

Not sure why they're missing Bearman. Antonelli should be there too after Monza regarding damage costs are part of the budget cap.
