Garage 56 is a unique, standalone class for prototype vehicles to showcase different technologies and proper prototypes. It's based on the Deltawing who occupied garage 56.

James Key, McLaren's Technical Director, is leaving. He'll be replaced by a triumvirate rather than a single Technical Director.
On the one hand, it makes sense since McLaren have struggled, but on the other hand it's just yet more turmoil for the team.

Not that surprising really given them and Red Bull falling out. But it was always going to be difficult to be only an engine supplier when over half the teams make their own engines or wouldn't want a Porsche engine.
I don’t think it was that they wouldn’t want a Porsche engine, their Motorsport pedigree speaks for itself, it was the other stuff they wanted. In the case of Red Bull they wanted 50% of the team ownership I believe, no doubt other teams had other demands placed on them and given the history of manufacturers in F1, leaving on a whim or when the financials no longer make sense or even with the replacement of even just 2-3 board members I can see why McLaren, on a far more sound financial footing now than even a couple of years ago thanks to Zak’s work with Sponsors and the cost cap, would balk at Porsche wanting a share in the team, only to potentially walk away in four or five years time and leave the team with a multi-million pound funding hole, as well as having to find the money to buy their share out. It just screams ‘risky’.

Oh yeah, that’s certainly a consideration too. My point was though that Merc, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Alpine, McLaren or Alfa(Audi) weren’t going to take a Porsche engine because of their associated road car companys. When your potentially pool of customers is so limited, it does suggest it’s not going to happen.
Can we discuss accessing f1tv pro via Vpn, for those in countries where it isn't offered?
I read the whole thread and it's seems to be Semi openly talked about, but not openly enough for a newcomer to understand the steps!
I'm in Spain where DAZN have the rights. It's not too expensive but it's not even 4k or HDR and my Spanish isn't good enough to enjoy the Spanish commentary, so F1TV via a VPN is the only way I could pay and get everything in English.
Anyway, if some mod could clarify, I can then ask or refrain for asking for more info in this thread!

My mother had a massive dish to pick up sky in Poland. She paid for her sub registered at my house. This was about ten years ago before streaming really took off so she doesn't bother with it now as she couldn't get all channels. Dish was massive though.
Breaking the terms of service by circumventing geo-restrictions isn't illegal, it just means they have the right to terminate your service.

It's fine to stuff via a vpn in the UK. I can't speak for Spain though it does tend to have more draconian rules. https://moneysavinganswers.com/shopping/how-to-watch-f1-tv-pro-in-the-uk/

In other news, some nonsense around Fiilipe Massa and potential court action over the 2008 title. Seems it's based on Bernie crawled out of the woodwork and saying some nonsense.
