Gonna be a brutal end to the season for the teams

I know a few teams gave personnel the time off in April with the warning there could be a tougher spell later in the season

Baku to Malaysia to Singapore (for a Sprint) will now kick off three triple-headers in a row, and a provisional nine races in 11 weeks to end the year

    From their FAQ:

    Most of our products are manufactured in Spain, where product design, quality control, and a significant part of our production take place.

    Some of our stainless steel bottles and other products are manufactured in specialised facilities in other countries, all operating under our strict quality and traceability standards. In every case, product development, technical supervision, and quality control are managed directly by LAKEN.

    They really need to stop calling it the Macarena wing.

    Also it's not the most helpful to describe one as rotating clockwise and the other anticlockwise, when it could apply the other way round.

    Ferrari retains a counterclockwise rotation, whereas Red Bull opts for a clockwise one.

    It's a nice explainer otherwise.

    Pretty small changes

    From April 6, 2026, paternity leave and unpaid parental leave became day-one rights, removing longstanding service qualifying periods that had disproportionately excluded parents in newer or more precarious employment. A new entitlement for bereaved parents who lose their partner within the first year of their child’s birth provides up to 52 weeks of unpaid leave, addressing a significant gap in statutory provision for surviving partners.

    Statutory maternity and paternity pay has risen from £187.18 to just £194.32 a week, barely keeping pace with inflation.
