So half the grid will be using the same engine ?

EDIT: Aston are switching to Honda aren't they?

Let me see if I've got this right, as far as engine suppliers in 2026:
Red Bull - RB/Ford
Mercedes - Mercedes
Ferrari - Ferrari
Aston Martin - Honda
Williams - Mercedes
Alpine - Mercedes
McLaren - Mercedes
Haas - Ferrari
Audi - Ferrari
VCARB - RB/Ford

That's:
Mercedes - 4
Ferrari - 3
RB/Ford - 2
Honda - 1

Looks spot on.

If Toyota like the new regs id expect them to provide for Haas shortly after that.

Audi are doing their own PU.

Knowing that project though anything is possible.

Sounds like they already want to sell off some of the team to the Qatari's

From what I read the personnel who were driving Audi's push into F1 have left the company, and their replacements aren't so willing to pour millions of dollars into F1.

The algorithm gave me the worst of Lance Stroll on Youtube this morning.

Wild that he's still allowed to drive on this grid. What an absolute deadshit.

Yeah it's 20ish%. It will be a naming thing like aramco and Aston Martin

I heard the mayor of LV on the radio last week and he wants to get rid of the GP, he said he didn't realise how long it was going to shut the strip down for.

How long is the current contract for ?

You would have to think that the F1 popularity bubble (particularly in the US) will burst at some point, and then we may hopefully just be left with the Austin GP.

The initial deal for LV was only 3 years (ending 2025), with plans to extend it to 10 years (ending 2032).

Only thing I think I'd miss about Vegas would be the Sunday afternoon timeslot in WA.
