Formula 1 2026
Long answer: Different formula, dedicated to F1 and only to the team/s the different fuel suppliers are supplying. In 2013 someone at Shell noticed me on twitter, liked what I & some other social media people were doing with motorsport stuff, and invited me, Todd & Paul from theparcferme.com & several others to visit Shell in Houston for a couple of days - to help drum up s/m buzz re: their alternative fuels, solar cars, & different 'green' initiatives. They put us up at a nice downtown hotel, fed us, and took us to their facilities both days. They showed us how they develop fuels by combining different chemicals in the labs, then test them for different characteristics that would be desirable in different applications - road cars, different kinds of racing, including F1, aviation, maritime, etc. We even got to try our hand at designing fuels. The best part of the deal was that we'd also be Shell & Ferrari's guests in Austin for the GP, with them putting us up for the weekend at Lost Pines, taking us out for fancy dinners, etc. Got to hang out in the Shell/Ferrari suite at T1, meet Binotto, Domenicali, Marc Gene, Pedro de la Rosa, & even got to ask a couple of questions of Felipe Massa (as if we were reporters) at a big public Shell event downtown. We also got to visit the Ferrari garage and go inside the Shell trackside lab in the back of the garage with Ferrari engineer Guy Lovett. He showed us how they can run different tests right after each session and use that info to tweak & remix the fuel components in real time, session by session. /csb Short answer: I'm sure some of the knowledge they've gained from participating in other racing series will come into play, but the fuel will be a dedicated F1 race fuel. They don't just tailor the fuel for their F1 PU. They change it race by race, accounting for the local conditions, and then tweak it throughout the weekend to account for changing conditions and get peak performance (or at least Shell does that, but I'm guessing most or all of them do it). The Aramco fuel AM F1 will be using won't be used by anyone else, anywhere. It will be designed specifically for the Honda PU.

Yep, and they've already started distancing themselves from him in other ways.

Formula 1 2026
Ex-Merc aerodynamicist analyses photos of AMR-26. Posting this not because it's the AM, but rather because it's one of the best videos I've ever seen that explains what they're trying to do with airflow and how they're doing it, in plain talk so that even an idiot like me can understand it.

Farther down in that thread there is a link to a shareable webpage of the thread. There are some excerpts from the case file that are easier to spot on there (about the deal Epstein and his lawyers cut to keep the case from going to a Grand Jury, and the PD investigator's disgust over that deal). https://skywriter.blue/pages/did:plc:l3k4ivyknlg4yv4as4b6anmt/post/3mdqpfcpfcc2d

Just got back from Isla Mujeres
We've gotten Mx pesos and Canadian dollars there so far. I know they carry other currency, but not sure which.

Thanks. I read her initial 10 or so posts just now, and some of the replies. Just incredible. I wonder if she can release the report itself?

CoTA sounds like it sucks
Anything's possible, I suppose, but some people back when they were talking about a water park were saying they were only saying that because it would be a great way to get their own PUD & make the property more valuable. What else uses a lot of water? A golf course, and a hotel with a thousand rooms. Good luck booking enough room-nights occupied to make a thousand-room hotel out there profitable. But who knows. I got this text a while back from a friend: " You know, a few months ago someone told me that Epstein wants to turn COTA into a Gaylord-type property. Bless his heart ... "

Welp ... Now he's coming for motorsport. No doubt this has been in the works for quite some time, and then Trump jumped in with an EO at the last second, to claim to have created the race 'by decree'. What a fucking clown. Dotard says this will be the first race ever in DC. I doubt he knows ALMS ever existed. Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington, D.C.
