Carlos Saint is very angry after disastrous Q3 in Australian Grand Prix time trial.

Despite the dynamism he has shown during most of the time trials, Carlos Sainth will eventually start the Australian Grand Prix from 9th place with hopes of even pole position.

The reason, according to the Spaniard, is that his team was unable to start the Ferrari engine for the final stage after the red flags interrupted Q3 due to the departure of Fernando Alonso.

Eventually, Saint left the track three minutes late and started his fast lap without warming up his tires, resulting in a small exit that ruined his efforts.

“Before the last lap we had a problem with the starter. We couldn’t start the car and got out three minutes late. I couldn’t prepare the tyres, I couldn’t warm them up, everything was in a hurry and I had to do the lap with iced tires and in the end it was a terrible ride‘ said the disappointed Spaniard.

“It’s just a disaster. Today I got pole and everything that could go wrong went wrong for me. I won’t be happy at all if someone tells me to be happy, but tomorrow is a different day. i need a nap By the time I want to sleep, I’ll be pissedς”.

However, Ferrari has every reason to celebrate as Charles Leclerc celebrated his second pole position of the year, beating Ferstappen and Perez to start Sunday’s race from first place.

“We will be left behind.” Verstappen won’t like Red Bull’s situation

Red Bull Formula 1 team president Laurent Mekies believes the Bulls will be behind their rivals at the start of the 2026 season, given the production of their engines and new aerodynamic rules.

“We know it will be difficult for us, especially at the beginning of the season. I think we will fall behind our rivals, but we need to hold on for a few more months.”

“I hope we come back to the top, but it would be naive to think that Red Bull will be ahead right away. We will be behind at the start,” said Mekis.

Bulls will produce its engines in collaboration with Ford from 2026.

Red Bull finally decides on Verstappen’s team

After several significant personnel changes in the team, Max Verstappen has finally learned who he will be working with in the Red Bull pits for the new season.

At the end of last year, it became known that three key members of the four-time world champion’s headquarters had left. According to De Telegraaf, Jeff Ayton replaced Verstappen’s vehicle control engineer Michael Manning, who left the team after the 2025 season. He has previously worked with other Red Bull drivers and worked temporarily with Verstappen in Manning’s absence last year.

Verstappen’s former engine mechanic David Mart has moved to Audi and his replacement at Red Bull has not yet been determined. Performance engineer Tom Hart is also leaving the team; He will join Williams but will continue to work with the Milton Keynes-based team for a while.

Changes also occurred among mechanics. After Matt Culler moved to the position of Audi’s chief mechanic, Verstappen was replaced as his first mechanic by his twin brother John Culler. He is well known to Max, who has previously held a similar position on the other side of the Red Bull pits, working alongside Sergio Perez, Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda.

Despite rumors about the winter break, Gianpiero Lambiase will remain Verstappen’s race engineer for another season.

Ferrari will have a red-white livery. Images of the Scuderia jersey have been revealed

Photos of the allegedly leaked Ferrari F1 team jerseys for the 2026 season have appeared on the internet.

The published photos show a red T-shirt with white inserts.

Ferrari will officially announce its color on January 23. At the same time, some sources reported that the design of the 2026 car should be “pleasantly surprising”.

Given that Ferrari and other teams have used darker shades of their primary colors (red in the Scuderia’s case) in recent years, the introduction of red and white team uniforms could signal a move towards a lighter color scheme.

The same idea is put forward in a video published on the Scuderia’s official account.
