I think that Toto is right that the Merc PU is legal even if they were running with a higher compression ratio when the PU is hot.
But, it's a bit rich to say that others shouldn't complain if they think there's an issue. He'd do the same and has in the past. #F1 www.the-race.com/formula-1/to...

I'd have taken this before Barcelona. Ferrari had a good test and they do look to be up there.

Is Ferrari really on top after F1's first 2026 test?
Ferrari had already made a good first F1 2026 impression before the final test day at Barcelona. But what shape is it actually in beyond Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes-beating lap?

I’m reading that a certain Lewis Hamilton put in a lap time of 1:16.348 today.

I have to agree with Karun on this one.
Ferrari made the right move in getting rid of Adami, but the delay in appointing his successor is problematic. Lewis is missing out on a great opportunity to build a strong relationship with his new engineer. #F1 www.motorsport.com/f1/news/lewi...

I'm not sure how the FIA think they're going to solve the compression ratio situation before the start of the season, tbh.
If they can't measure it and the hardware can't be changed, what are they going to do? 🤷🏻♂️ #F1 www.autosport.com/f1/news/fia-...

I like the added white in the Ferrari race suits. I'm hoping that carries over the the livery so we get something like last year's Monza special edition.

Leaked images of what will supposedly be the Ferrari caps this year.
If they’re accurate, I’m hoping the added white signals what they plan to do with the livery. Something like last year’s Monza special would be good. It would make the blue HP logo less jarring. #F1

The compression ratios controversy is interesting.
Imo, teams not exploiting it will protest those who are, but those protests will fail if it’s impossible to measure when PUs are running.
It may not even be critical if others have better overall PUs. 🤷🏻♂️ #F1 www.the-race.com/formula-1/ev...
