the fastest lap in testing from Charles, but still nearly 2 seconds of pole time in 2025

Do you think they will recover that lost 2secs, because that 2secs will soon add up over the course of the race compared to last years cars.

after a few races they will have it sorted out, the cars are lighter and shorter, so more to gain

and those 2 seconds are compared to qualifying, not to testing

It does not look significantly slower but the sounds at the end of the straights is a bit off putting :see_no_evil_monkey:

Damon Hill has returned to Williams as an Official Ambassador for the 2026 season. This marks his return to the team 30 years after winning the World Championship with them in 1996. Hill, who has a rich history with Williams, has been a test and reserve driver since 1991 and later became a race team driver in 1993. His time with Williams saw him claim 21 Grand Prix wins, 40 podiums, and 20 pole positions. Hill’s return as an Ambassador is a privilege for him, as it allows him to celebrate the team’s history and support its legacy and future.

Shame he’s too old to get behind the wheel to race competitively.

sounds like a bad april fools joke..

That proves a point doesn’t it, even though the 2025 cars still had battery support. It literally left this years car in it’s tyre tracks.

They’re not F1 cars anymore, as Max pit it cheekily, it’s Formula ‘E’ on steroids.

There was a woman called Sabine Schmitz. She was known as a real Nürburgring Nordschleife specialist. Sadly passed away. “ I can do that lap time in a Van.” She once said. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
