While itâs only been a test on the new compounds of tires and no way indicative of actual pace, itâs good to see Leclerc gelling well with the car and showing some pace. Although his time was still 1.7 seconds off the qualifying pace of Hamilton in the actual race.

Doubly so because itâs actually supposed to be a stylized stags head with antlers 
The Rich Energy logo (and the company name) is taken from the town of Richmond in England where the company founder, William Storey, is from.
The design is based on the heritage of his upbringing in Richmond, England. The Richmond stag is a symbol of the town and they can often be sighted in Richmond Park. Many royals in the 15th/16th century used to hunt stags in the âNewe Parke of Richmondeâ. The stag goes back many centuries and is a big representation of Richmond hence the gold stag can design.

I wonder how much effect that had on Kubicaâs signing.
Worst kept secret ever, and a definite âWell, Duhhh!â moment, but still. It is now official.

What a chop
Great video explaining how the aero changes for next year will help promote closer racing and more overtaking opportunities. Remains to be seen if theyâll have the hoped for impactâŚ

Yeah, I watched that one. It sounds good in theory, but Iâm not convinced yet. I also donât like how big, heavy, and unwieldy-looking this latest generation of cars has become. The beautiful and nimble 500kg machines of a few years back are a thing of the past, sadly.

Should also note that in 1970 you saw things like the Cosworth DFV engine which was a 3.0l 360 bhp V8 monster.
in 1991 they had the magnificent 3.5l V12âs that pushed 710 bhpâŚ
2007 was the awful 2.4l V8âs but still produced 740 hp
now weâre on 1.6 litre V6 turbo hybrid engines with around 870 hp
Personally Iâd be very happy with 2l turbo engines, no restriction on boost pressure, no restriction on rpm (currently 15000rpm), no restriction on number of cylinders and no restriction on the angle of the V (currently 90 degree).
GIVE ME BIG ENGINES THAT MAKE BIG NOISE

Oh, that was epic!
This is why I follow the teams on social media - as much as I donât like the Mercs, whomever they have incharge of their social media deserves a bonus this year - there has been many such threads between the teams.
