Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Need an excuse to visit (revisit ?) Silverstone Museum Well here it is, an unassembled BAR #F1 car. It used to be at the Brackley factory and a cousin of the hanging car display at Mercedes world #F1tech 3524
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Yes, it had a major front end crash at silverstone 1991, EJ had it patched up 010
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Yes, it had a major front end crash at silverstone in 1991, Eddie must have had it patched up to make it a show car 050
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 06/08/2026For those with deep pockets, a Jordan 191 is up for auction this September. Altho, there's some weird stuff going on inside the footwell 🤔. But it's worth looking at this listing for the technical photos alone. #F1retro #F1tech #F1 cars.bonhams.com/auction/3185...cars.bonhams.com 2272
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I knew I'd seen that LED light on the front of the 499P @FerrariHypercar before! 🤔 #WECtech @fiawecofficial.bsky.social 2495
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 20/07/2026The tiniest details... Red Bull may not have had their macarena wing, but the standard-wing pylons, were each updated with two vanes. Pics caught by @xavigazquez 👏 #F1 #F1tech #BelgianGP 0323
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Here's the huge 1/4 scale @amalgamofficial model of the @FerrariHypercar 499P powertrain... I could do a tech video on this for over an hour ! #WECtech @FIAWEC 3443
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 03/07/2026For aero you'd like sharp sidepod edges, but regs enforce a large minimum radius. Red Bull fit this 'floor body stay', which is a cable running down the ridge of the sidepod. Rules allow body work near this to have just a 20mm radius 😉 #F1 #F1tech #BritishGP 📸 @xavigazquez 0322
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 02/07/2026This guy is building a huge scale model Williams FW24 BMW V10 #F1 follow the progress on youtube youtube.com/@F1model.s/shorts #F1tech #BritishGP 5424
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 26/06/2026All new front wing for @AlpineF1Team. Their old wing was quite unique, but the new version takes them along the same direction as most other teams. #F1 #F1tech #AustrianGP 0212
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Since the early 2000s to get a seamless gearshift #F1 gearboxes run two selectors, one controls odd gears, the other even gears. But the gearbox needs to know the exact position of each gear, which is done by a process called 'learning' Without this, the shifts have to be slower 0222
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Merc have had to drop their serrated diffuser extensions, the blisters on the top surface have been been removed too. Instead they've added a pair of gurney flaps to the roof's trailing edge. #F1 #F1tech #AustrianGP @tech_motorsport motorsport.tech/formula-1/merc… 0252
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Maybe like using the V8s again go old skool and throw a bucket of water over the driver as they pass through the pit lane 🤔 200
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 25/06/2026I'm not sure that the exact rule of procedures around that, but I would suggest the FIA wouldn't look kindly on the extra kilograms given for the heat hazard kit being underused, on the cooling kit, but used in other areas of the car 010
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 25/06/2026It's well known F1 drivers look like dehydrated.Goblins when feeling thirsty! That's what I based the drawing on 😆 020
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 25/06/2026No, they are given a higher minimum weight to meet, 5 extra kilograms 110
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 25/06/2026A heat hazard has been announced for the Austrian grand prix. Teams will be given a weight break to add a cooling tank pump, to send cold fluid around the driver's suit. #F1 #F1tech #AustrianGP 5376
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 24/06/2026It was wonderful seeing him manage the H pattern gearbox, it was certainly a handful and his feet were doing just as much work as his hands! I have some onboard video I can post tomorrow 010
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 24/06/2026So having seen the @WeAreLolaCars T70-S launched in London at the start of the year, today I was launched around MIRA in it by @johnnyherbertf1. #Fantastic 1281
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 24/06/2026A quick check of the regulations shows the difference in diameter is just ten millimetres for both the compressor and the turbine 000

Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 15/06/2026I wouldn't say that, the design has been racing for decades without a similar fault 110
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 15/06/2026I'm not sure, but they certainly are not allowed to run with a loose one. It is a heavy piece of kit and could be dangerous if it comes off the car 120
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Another strange breakdown was #AA23 who had to stop for a loose T-camera. The camera connects to the car with two bolts onto an aluminium fixture on the roll hoop, plus the video/data connector. #F1 #F1tech 0273
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 15/06/2026It seems #NH27 retired due to an electrical shut down, after gravel triggered the emergency 'E' pull ring. This is a 2 position switch that cuts electrical power on position 1 and sets off extinguisher on position 2. #F1 #F1tech 4482
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Williams were late to the SLiM-wing trend in Monaco, but have arrived at the #BarcelonaGP with an updated triple wing set up 🐫 Also one detail I've never noticed is a tiny vane next to the cockpit, which was not on the launch car, but has been there all season long! #F1 #F1tech 0211
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Audi's new mirrors from Monaco. The reshaped mirror pod now forms a flap, the mounting back to the sidepod is also different. #GB5 is running red dots on the left mirror to monitor any movement via a camera. #F1 #F1tech #BarcelonaGP 0141
Reposted by Scarbstechnelson @nelsonphillips.bsky.social · 12/06/2026These fwings are getting interesting fast. The underside have strakes to build rotation into the inwash caused by the wing elements. A raised leading edge is followed by a closing tunnel, increasing the pressure delta under the footplate powering these strakes. This rotation likely merges dstream 2112
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Mercedes have changed the rear wing extensions Technically, they're 'rear wing rotation brackets', but will act like wing extensions for more downforce The outer extensions have been repositioned & extended at the centre of the wing, where they will be more effective #F1 #F1tech 1142
Reposted by ScarbstechScarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Red Bull have retained some elements of the Monaco high downforce rear wing for the #BarcelonaGP. The forward SLM pod wing has been kept, as are the V shaped trailing edge extensions. The middle trailing edge extension has been replaced by a V shaped cut out. #F1 #F1tech 1316
Reposted by ScarbstechScarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Amongst the updates for Ferrari at the #BarcelonaGP are these add ons to the reshaped m front wing endplate. The outside gains a canard, a small rear vane & a reshaped forward vane. Underneath the stepped inner footplate sees 6 new inwashing vanes. #F1 #F1tech 0427
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 11/06/2026I can't help but think we should call Red Bull's SLM pod, the monopoly dog pod ? #F1 2606
Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 11/06/2026It is allowing it, these mods are fitted around the SLM pod 010

Scarbstech @scarbstech.bsky.social · 07/06/2026After a slow getaway, #MV3 confirms that the engine failed, but the hybrid allowed him to make some kind of getaway. This is a new rule added earlier this season to prevent cars stalled on the grid. #F1 #F1tech #MonacoGP @tech_motorsport Explained here... motorsport.tech/formula-1/fi...motorsport.techFIA agrees Power Unit revisions – what does it mean for F1 going forwards? - Motorsport TechnologyThe FIA have agreed a set of revisions to the power unit regulations as a reaction to issues seen in the first few races. 0265
