I'm still smarting over how last season ended; Max had all the momentum going into Abu Dhabi, and I thought he'd be able to once again clinch the title with the barest of margins. Nevertheless, Lando deserved the win; McLaren was consistent throughout the season, and if anything, the racing was enjoyable in the latter half of the year.
And just like that, we are in the 2026 cycle, and testing of the new cars suggests this season should be just as interesting. Before that though, it's time to take a look at an interesting collaboration: the Realme GT 8 Pro Dream Edition. The phone retails in India for ₹79,999 ($870), which is just ₹1,000 ($11) more than the regular 16GB/512GB model of the GT 8 Pro. Now, Realme isn't technically partnered with the Aston Martin F1 team, but that doesn't make the phone any less intriguing.
