If you haven't see it here's the Cadillac F1 Super Bowl ad - very arty of course, with echoes of the F1 movie, not much Cadillac branding, and the iconic words of a US president. Not the current one.

Cadillac F1 CEO Dan Towriss says of the new look: “This livery represents far more than a paint scheme; it represents who we are and what we bring to F1. Every detail is intentional - bold, modern, and unmistakably American, while respecting the heritage and precision that define this sport."

Cadillac F1's livery was revealed overnight - a split personality with black on one side and white on the other, akin to what BAR used for its first season 27 years ago. The team says "the design gradient, which evokes speed when the car is stationary, is actually a Cadillac chevron repeating."

F1's watch wars ramp up further as Breitling arrives as an official partner of Aston Martin - an echo of the 1960s, when they were connected by the 007 movies and Sean Connery. The company is also a partner of the NFL, and previously backed the Le Mans-winning Bentley team in the early 2000s.

Arriving late for the Barcelona test was not optimal for the Aston Martin F1 team, but it was caused by a perfect storm of circumstances - not least Adrian Newey's determination to pull out all the stops with the AMR26:

Adrian Newey on the late arrival of Aston Martin's AMR26: I only joined the team last March, so we've started from behind, in truth. It's been a very compressed timescale and an extremely busy 10 months. The reality is that we didn’t get a model of the '26 car into the wind tunnel until mid-April."

A great opportunity for Jack Doohan to reboot his career in a new environment as he's confirmed as a Haas F1 reserve driver, alongside Ryo Hirakawa. He's also reunited with his former Alpine colleague Esteban Ocon - the guy he replaced for the 2024 Abu Dhabi GP.

Kimi Antonelli on W17: "I think the car as a baseline to start with is pretty good. It's much better than expected, and it's fun to drive. You feel the 30 kilos less, and the car being a bit smaller, you just feel it. It's more agile, especially in change of direction and in low-speed corners."

Fernando Alonso on AMR26: "I think we had a positive one, 60-plus laps, and the car is responding well. So first day, and more to come. Especially the last I think two weeks has been very, very intense, the factory trying to have the car ready, and we just made it to Barcelona in the last two days."

Praise for F1 rookie Arvid Lindblad from VCARB's Tim Goss: "For someone so young, it's really impressive. He's just been really cool, calm, professional. As we're getting to the grips with the balance of the car, his feedback has just been really simple, really clear. So really impressed with him."

Charles Leclerc on the Ferrari SF-26 in Barcelona today: "We're not focussed on performance whatsoever.

Franco Colapinto on the Alpine A526 in Barcelona F1 testing: "At the end of the day, it's still a race car, and you need to drive it quickly within the grip that it's available, and that's very similar. But the technique is changing a little bit."
