So apparently Williams is now within spec, but still way overweight…..

🚨 | NEW: The Williams FW48 has reportedly passed the FIA's crash tests.

However, Williams are expected to carry additional weight to start the year - a necessary step to meet the mandatory requirements.

Their season is boned. Everything they do this season should be about developing next year's car.

Tough read for Williams fans.

Vowles apparently can't comment on the car being overweight until it's assembled. Read that again.. https://t.co/2BQNgWXOgR

How is that even possible? So they pass the crash tests with one version and build a second? Or are they only testing individual parts?

They've had so much time to build this car

According to this, the chassis passed the crash test weeks ago.

Not that I needed another reason to be excited about Cadillac
https://sportsverse.substack.com/p/nike-f1-formula-one-cadillac-bottas-swoosh-dunks-sneakers

Basically in all their promo photos Valteri and Checo are wearing Nike dunks. I haven't seen anything official, but it might signal that Cadillac is wanting to work with Nike. From a branding perspective it makes perfect sense. Tommy Hilfiger is doing a lot of the clothing and Nike would fit nicely with that being another iconic American brand.

Given that Nike hasn't sponsored Formula one since Schumacher's deal in the late 90s. I think it would be perfect timing to jump back in.

Out with the small boats, in comes the cruise ship……

This year’s F1 Miami Grand Prix is May 1-3 and a new addition is the MSC Yacht Club. It’ll include a lifelike super yacht, a pool area, special lounges and seating, plus the highest vantage point for full track views. F1 celebrates 5 years in Miami.https://t.co/mmvjooB7FA pic.twitter.com/pHhw8uFu7v

I'm dumbfounded on how Williams is so awful.

Brake duct design…

They somewhat exist. Like the poker chip roulette wheels

Sadly it's pretty underwhelming. I get why the went with Tommy Hilfiger, but at this point it just seems like a one trick pony.

Slap the logo on the chest, hint of red or navy, and call it a day.

So i got a question, to watch this season I'll need to have apple tv subscription? Or is F1 TV still an option?

And is the testing races on apple tv now?

The best I understand it is you need the AppleTV subscription (formally called AppleTV+). They said early on there would be some free events (not sure what that means or how you access it without a subscription).

Today I was able to log into F1TV and connect my AppleTV subscription to F1TV, which gives me access to F1TV premium. I typically watched most practices and qualifying on F1TV with Multiview and data channels.

Here is the email I received after connecting it:
