Lynne 🛞 🦄 @thef155.bsky.social · 15/02/2026[SV 2/2] “We heard Lewis say you need a degree to understand these cars [..] F1 used to be […] more about simpler engines and pushing flat out with tyre management in the race. “Now there's a whole new dynamic. We have the energy side but we also have all the systems on top of that.” 000

Lynne 🛞 🦄 @thef155.bsky.social · 15/02/2026Just read this article with Formula E drivers opining on the comparison of the new F1 cars/regs to FE. I’m more convinced than ever that—once the teams and engineers settle into things—this is Carlos Sainz’s moment to shine.the-race.com'Not right for F1' - Formula E drivers on Verstappen's 2026 jibeMax Verstappen's description of the new Formula 1 cars as "Formula E on steroids" has elicited varying reactions from the electric championship's paddock - including sympathy 240

Lynne 🛞 🦄 @thef155.bsky.social · 11/02/2026True Fact: Having completed two 200km filming days, Williams has logged about 100km more than Aston Martin before Bahrain testing. 010
Lynne 🛞 🦄 @thef155.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Yeah, every team that has released a spec sheet so far has listed their interpretation of the minimum weight (either 770, 772, without or without the 0.4kg deviation for tyres), including Williams. We just don’t know. 010
Lynne 🛞 🦄 @thef155.bsky.social · 03/02/2026JV hasn’t said anything as far as I know, but the (allegedly real) FW48 spec sheet is circulating among some paddock journos and it lists the weight as 772.4 kg (minimum weight for quali in regs + tyres). Many people have been using 768 kg as the minimum weight number, so that’s where 4.4 comes from 010
Lynne 🛞 🦄 @thef155.bsky.social · 03/02/2026There are a lot of advantages to having a pull-rod front, but one major disadvantage is it’s harder to access the mechanical components to make set-up changes. This could hamper Williams in testing when trying to experiment with different set-ups quickly, but if it worked for the last 4 WCC cars… 🤷 010
Lynne 🛞 🦄 @thef155.bsky.social · 03/02/2026I do wonder if Williams took inspiration from McLaren 2025 MCL39 and/or RBR’s 2022-2025 cars for the pull rod front / push rod rear design. On the other hand, JV implied they’re doing radical new things with the suspension, so who knows. 120
Lynne 🛞 🦄 @thef155.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Some interesting things the FW48 spec sheet (if real) does tell us: - Pull-rod front suspension, reversal from FW47. Cadillac & maybe Alpine also pull-rod front at shakedown - Push-rod rear suspension, same as FW47. Every other team EXCEPT Cadillac & maybe Alpine also push-rod rear at shakedown 220
Lynne 🛞 🦄 @thef155.bsky.social · 03/02/2026The way I broke my X boycott because I am weak in the face of opportunities to correct rampant misinformation 😔 100
Lynne 🛞 🦄 @thef155.bsky.social · 03/02/2026The weight on that spec sheet is the minimum weight (for quali, with tyres). The 768kg number that was going around was based on it being 30kg less than the previous regs, but if you read the actual regs, it’s 726kg + tyres (Pirelli dry = 46.4 kg full set). … So it’s probably not the real weight 😔 110
Lynne 🛞 🦄 @thef155.bsky.social · 03/02/2026To be clear, I’m not saying the FW48 is probably 30kg overweight. I’m just saying the spec sheet being circulated doesn’t tell us a whole lot about the final weight. The reported 772.4kg is the minimum weight for qualifying (including Pirelli dry tyre weight). 010

Lynne 🛞 🦄 @thef155.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Seeing a lot of fans get excited at the weight on the spec sheet. I’m not claiming to know (or even guess at) anything about the real weight of the FW48, but reality check for Williams fans: The February 2024 spec sheet for the very overweight FW46 reported the then-minimum weight of 798kg. 230
Lynne 🛞 🦄 @thef155.bsky.social · 02/02/2026As I’ve always said, the most important part of the Carlos Sainz Effect isn’t even that his arrival coincides with his new team improving, it’s that his departure coincides with his old team’s decline. Yes McLaren are champions now, but it took them 4 years to beat Ferrari again after 2020. 010

Lynne 🛞 🦄 @thef155.bsky.social · 22/09/2025I was also off social media for the last 4-5 races! Just couldn’t take the negativity when I knew something like Baku was eventually coming (ok, maybe I didn’t think it would be a podium, lol). But I did check out F1 Reddit sometimes and there were annoying people sharing that stat. 120
Lynne 🛞 🦄 @thef155.bsky.social · 21/09/2025Fight at the front aside, Alex showed strong pace for his drive through the field. Fell short of the points but a promising performance for the car nonetheless. I expected the Haas cars to trouble him more. 050
Lynne 🛞 🦄 @thef155.bsky.social · 21/09/2025Another reason I’m happy Carlos finally the got a result he deserved: With Carlos’s new total of 31 pts for the seasons, that loud minority of losers can no longer claim Williams would still have P5 in the WCC if Alex were the only driver. Carbono is the key! 1132
Lynne 🛞 🦄 @thef155.bsky.social · 21/09/2025Miffed at all the comments about Carlos getting a Williams podium before LH gets a F*rrari podium.

I believe Williams has what it takes to execute to the maximum tomorrow 💪 0120
