One thing is certain: BATT can't do any worse than they did in 2025, finishing last in the Constructors' Championship. For 2026, we can only hope for better for the Rouen-based driver, but the team of the "King of Cheaters" will soon find out, as early as January 26th in Barcelona, ​​whether their aggressive approach for 2026 and the performance of the Alpicedes A526 MSC Cruises, a modern version of the 2015 Lotus E23 Hybrid, are truly effective!

Alpine It could logically climb back up the rankings by swapping its aging Renault for a Mercedes, and compete against engines still being broken in, like those of the Audi and Ford. But to mistake wishful thinking for reality...

"Alpine"Mercedes"... That doesn't exist, call it Mercapine or Alpescedes if you want... It reminds me of the "ProsSaubTari," those smoky "prost f1" mix of Ligier and Sauber/Ferrari...!!!!
