    Demanding $600 million as an entry fee is absurd. Audi paid that for Sauber and Sauber has full F1 facilities, including a wind tunnel. Those assets are worth hundreds of millions. I think this all boils down to the teams not wanting a true American team like Andretti because it will drastically cut into their sponsorships and fans. They were more than happy to let Porsche or Audi join.

    A lot of reports this year’s Ferrari is still eating its tyres, so that’s fun. Can’t wait for Charles to stick it on pole by a couple tenths and then finish 3rd or 4th.

    This is the good stuff. Massive overreactions to the first day and a half of testing. AM challenging Merc and Ferrari would be one of the biggest leaps over an offseason in the last few decades.

    The Stroll rumors continue to grow. Drugovic might be getting his shot.

    Just slightly different philosophies. It’s about damn time they replaced Rueda. This guy’s younger than I would have expected. Hopefully that means he’s a wunderkind. He definitely doesn’t seem like the next bureaucrat in line, like so many Ferrari hires.

    That’s just a byproduct of all the fisting.

    I watched a bit of testing. Ferrari looks like it’s still porpoising a bit, but hard to tell because the track is very bumpy. Also saw something on F1 technical saying RB was the best last year at sealing the outer edges of the floor, so the 15mm floor height raise could create an even bigger gap over the field. That would suck.

    Got dam. That kind of honesty gets you banned on TexAgs.

    Wrong as always. Bringing in Donewald improved our offense. Our offense hasn’t improved since Beard left.

    I’m really not sure what’s funnier. Being crushed you didn’t get in to A&M or being too dumb to get into that diploma mill. Seems like a real chicken or the egg dilemma.

    Ferrari made changes to its livery last year and added “Ferrari” on the rear wing this year, but they will always be a red car, because it’s fucking Ferrari. Just like Mercedes have been the silver arrows for decades. Teams like Oregon and A&M do gimmicky jerseys every year and no one cares, but if Texas added black as a main color to their jerseys people would go apoplectic.

    Not quite Taylor Hamm 0/16 level but close, especially considering Shanahan only ended up with them because he had nowhere else to go.

    The Gulf livery would look better, but Gulf is a much or sponsor. They’re only paying like $4 million. No chanceany team would go with a full gulf livery all year for that little money.

    What in the ever living fuck?! How is Lowell on the ESPN 2 broadcast?!

    Eh. McLaren wasn’t blameless in all that, and I don’t think any of the same management are even left on either side. I’m also not sure they could take the current Honda PU, because I believe RB bought the IP, so they’d have to be a RB customer team.

    If Honda really wants to stay in F1, this pairing definitely makes the most sense.

    I hate to say it, but there’s some real smoke to this one guys. Word on the street is Hill’s dad didn’t get the promotion he wanted at his super secret UT BMD job, and he is now considering switching careers to being a veterinary gastroenterologist. You know what that means. aggy is now sitting in the catbird seat. The only thing that can stop Hill from transferring is if we lock him in his dorm room for weeks on end like we did with Malik.

    A 5-7 team.

    I’ve always thought some psychology student needs to do their dissertation just analyzing TexAgs for the litany of conditions at play in one spot. Could be a truly groundbreaking study. Either that, or being exposed to that much pure, uncut idiocy will completely break them a la Heath Ledger playing the Joker.

    Yes, I too look forward to Chandler Morris trying to light up our DBs.

    These people are fucking lunatics.

    Now just imagine if you drank a cold beer that actually tastes good after mowing the lawn.

    Would right now be one of those times?

    Honda’s on the list for 2026 engine suppliers, but I’ not sure who they’d supply. Half the grid have engine suppliers. Funny enough, McLaren and Honda would be a great pairing if not for their recent history. McLaren has to become a works team if they want to do better than 4th/5th.
