In this post I will, for the most part, stick with my modus operandi of not granting the 2019 F1 testing times too much significance. But it's no fun to entirely ignore them so let's allow ourselves to read a little into them, especially when it comes to the headline news of the front-runners. Let … Continue reading Let’s act like we know what’s going on in testing, pt. 2
Just a quick post on a new McLaren role for a certain Fernando Alonso. Alonso has become an ambassador for McLaren and it is planned for him to test the car later in the year.

The giant, new front wings are … Continue reading Launch season kicks off! (Kind of…)
