No Williams at next week’s F1 test in Barcelona. Seems rumours that their car is still quite significantly overweight may have some truth to them.

Mercedes are revealing their 2026 livery this morning. I’ll be on a plane when they do (one of those WiFi-less ones that Elon is being rage-baited into buying). Looking forward to seeing the reaction when I land 👀

The livery may be rubbish, but at least the Audi race suits look terrific.

Every year it’s the same publications that leak embargoed images of F1 liveries and every year they are still sent those images in advance. No consequences. And then teams wonder why their liveries keep being leaked.

Speaking as Haas unveiled their new livery, Oliver Bearman said it has been painful as a driver to have to wait to see where his team will be in the pecking order in the sport's new era.
🗣 "It's horrible not knowing. I'd like to skip forward six months to see where we are."

Haas are the third team to drop their 2026 F1 livery.
It's a lot more white and red and a lot less black, which is good.
It also features 'Toyota Gazoo Racing' branding which, considering that brand has been split up, is weird.

Happy first F1 livery day!
Ahead of Red Bull’s overnight reveal, I was among a small number of journalists invited to a roundtable with RBPT technical director Ben Hodgkinson.
Some very interesting quotes on the ‘loophole’ situation, and an accusation towards Mercedes 👀
