You've misinterpreted the comment. What I mean is Audi will only launch new EV models from '26. Not that '26 is their first EV model. In other words, no more new petrol vehicles after '26, yet that is when they enter F1 with a petrol hybrid.Hammerfist wrote: ↑25 Nov 2023, 13:41Isn’t the Audi Etron an ev and has been around for years?

The point being Merc only launching EV models doesn't mean they won't be in F1.
I think people should stop the broken record of saying, George sets up the car for quali and Lewis for race. It's not. It's just that Lewis' ability to race is higher with all that experience he has and understanding of tyres in racing conditions. George is not there yet in races and the experience would make him better in future. Lewis isn't getting younger and he is only going to get slower in qualifying against George. There will be weekends when Lewis might be faster, but on the whole, it's natural to expect George outqualifying Lewis.
