I can here Lance Strolls excuse for not going to the weigh-in-->" I had to go potty!!!" is what he'll tell the stewards. AMRF1 switches from the MercedesAMGF1 PU to the Honda PU for 2026...fyi.
I am glad to see Charles stepping up and making a decision. He is trying something new and owning it. It might work, it might not. But he will learn from it. Nothing to lose this season anyways (although 2nd place in constructors is possible).
Hadjar is quite good for his first season, isn't he ? Team mate Liam Lawson looks nothing compared to this young Frenchman.
We'll see tomorrow if Leclerc made the right call due to him sitting out his Q3 2nd time trial. So, Ferrari is introducing a rear suspension upgrade in Austria or Silverstone and this could be a P2 possibility deal breaker as it involves the overall balance of the car. My guess, it will make the car worse than what it currently is performing.
I'm fine with Charles punting it. He stepped up and owns it. To me that means he's developing. Say thank you to Carlos.
The temps on the track dropped quite a bit due to the cloud cover and due to track evolution, that's when drivers seized on the opportunity for a 2nd go around. I have a graph depicting the temperature drop.
