Too many colours for my liking.

I like it. I think it looked better under the lights and in the live stream than in static studio shots/renders. Might have been a trick of thr lights, but I thought the white looked metallic.
Thanks for the info.Wouter wrote: ↑22 Feb 2025, 11:13Red Bull supertalent Lindblad completes first TPC with Racing Bulls
On Thursday, British supertalent Arvid Lindblad will completed his first TPC (testing of previous car) event at the Imola circuit with Racing Bulls. The youngster drove the AT04, the car used by the team when they were named AlphaTauri back in 2023.
The 17-year-old also recently won the Formula Regional Oceania championship in New Zealand, and therefore he now has enough points that is required for a super license. Still, as he is yet to turn 18, Red Bull would need to file a request to the FIA to in order for him to get one. That will not be needed after his birthday on 8 August.
[They want him as a reserve driver for RB asap.]

https://www.motorsportweek.com/2025/03/ ... d_id=66327Honda: ‘Not much more we can do’ for Yuki Tsunoda amid uncertain Red Bull F1 future
[...]
In the circumstance where he cuts ties with Red Bull, Tsunoda has been linked with Aston Martin due to the team’s impending engine partnership with Honda from 2026.
Tsunoda’s relationship with the Japanese marque pre-dates his period in F1, although it has been disclosed that the brand’s backing is not as prominent as it once was.
“Tsunoda has a sponsorship agreement with us,” Honda Racing Corporation president Koji Watanabe said.
“He is fundamentally an independent driver, but we support him as a sponsor.”
Watanabe has urged Tsunoda to take his career into his own hands, which coincides with the recent news that the Racing Bulls driver has altered his management team.
“He needs to take action himself,” he added. “He’s now in his fifth year, has the ability, and understands the world of F1 well.
“There’s not much more we can do for him. Drivers can’t rely on Honda forever. Someone of Tsunoda’s career level needs to think for himself.”
Maybe, I'm not really sure what Mekies specifically brings to the table as a TP. I mean he was sporting director at Ferrari at a time when they were infamously incompetent on the pitwall, so that's hardly confidence-inspiring.TeamKoolGreen wrote: ↑06 Mar 2025, 21:34Would it be fair to assume that Lautent Mekies is on the clock if he doesn't more out of this team this year ? His counterpart at Haas seems to be getting more out of the Ferrari package.
RB has a driver lineup that is probably 8th-10th on the grid. They are also still trying to stabilize team structure after standing up the UK office. There's but so much they can accomplish.TeamKoolGreen wrote: ↑06 Mar 2025, 21:34Would it be fair to assume that Lautent Mekies is on the clock if he doesn't more out of this team this year ?

they missed the boat with Hass and Komatsu now they is no genuine seat for 2026 except caddillac who has worked with honda before.being backed by Honda is not a curse it can be useful if that weapon is properly deployed.honda used to pay redbull to put their pu in their car ,they managed to change that ridiculous position and make redbull pay them.honda should put that pu in the william and yuki will come on for the ride.everyone is in f1 because of someone yuki should not be an exception ,so they shouldn't be a Honda stigma that he carries with him.KimiRai wrote: ↑06 Mar 2025, 19:07https://www.motorsportweek.com/2025/03/ ... d_id=66327Honda: ‘Not much more we can do’ for Yuki Tsunoda amid uncertain Red Bull F1 future

The 51-year-old Briton has served as the Racing Bulls technical director since its Toro Rosso days in 2019. The Anglo-Italian outfit announced Egginton's departure would be covered by staff already at the team.
Former FIA man Tim Goss, who joined last year as chief technical officer, will take on additional duties, as will his deputies Guillaume Cattelani and Andrea Landi, who head up car performance and design respectively.
"Being part of this team for over 10 years has been a fantastic experience for me, providing some very memorable moments," said Egginton.
"But after almost 20 years of focusing solely on Formula 1, I feel it’s time for a change. I will have a great remit as Engineering Director of Red Bull Advanced Technologies and the company currently has an exciting list of projects, so I can’t wait to get started on this new challenge."
