If that happens. Quite a big change to happen so close to the new season.

I didn't think Martin Whitmarsh has done a bad job. If the car is rubbish. There isn't much he can do about that.

 

This season is going to be interesting... for about 3 races before it becomes clear Red Bull/Vettel are going to walk it.

... unless either the Renault engine or the RB10 chassis turn out to be a dud. You never know in a season with as many new regulations as the upcoming one.

That is what i'm hoping for. I personally think this season will be more open just because of all the changes.

It is almost like every team is starting from the ground up. Unlike past years where it was just an evolution of the past seasons car (except Mclaren).

The Williams one is bad, but the McLaren penis nose... it even has a urethra and everything. Perverts. At least they branded it so that everyone will think it's the Mercedes.

 

Does it need to stop halfway through the race to eject any waste fluids through the that thing?

Ignoring the nose, it looks brilliant. Glad the red on the livery is mostly gone. There are some serious challengers for best livery this year.

Also with the rumours surrounding Martini and Williams someone made this, please let it happen.

      What? They aren't removing the disc drive and charging $800 for questionable performance upgrades that are better suited to a new generation console? How outrageous!

      Bummer it's only 1TB instead of 2. I had one of those - the "Halo Special Edition" OG Xbox. This looks like a cool update.

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
