## Resource

The Headliners this week: Aston's New Coat: Aston Martin is ditching the green for Monaco. They’re running a trippy, color-shifting "From Rock to Racetrack" livery. Leclerc Bags the Secured Bag: Charles locked in a massive Ferrari extension—rumored at €50M a year. He’s officially chasing down Schumi’s record for most Ferrari starts. The 2027 Engine Mess: The F1 Commission is stuck. The new engine ideas need bigger fuel tanks, but the current chassis can't fit them. The backup plan? Literally making some races shorter so cars need less fuel. Wild. Quick Hits & Garage Gossip Rule Tweaks: Teams get an extra winter testing day next year. Also, the FIA is clamping down on teams using old car tests to sneakily prep for upcoming tracks. Lowriders & Luxury EVs: Lewis Hamilton has been cruising SoCal in a custom '84 Buick Regal lowrider. Meanwhile, Ferrari dropped "Luce"—a 1,000+ hp electric hyper-GT designed by Jony Ive that costs a casual $640k. Tech & Rumors: Banning the rumored Mercedes engine trick, Honda’s unexpected power gains, and what the heck is going on with ADUO? Plus, Williams targeting 2030 for a title comeback, and BYD trying to break into the paddock. Monaco Preview Let’s honest—last year gave us exactly one overtake. We look at the stats to see if this weekend will actually be a race or just a very fast, very expensive parade Hit that subscribe button and tune in for the full, unfiltered breakdown!
