Farewell to the worst car of F1 2026

Aston Martin said a final farewell to this iteration of the worst Formula 1 car of 2026 with a typically awful performance at last weekend's Belgian Grand Prix.

Now comes the first major test of the Adrian Newey-led team that desperately needs to restore its battered reputation – and try to hang on to star driver Fernando Alonso.

We know Alonso has a big decision to make about his future in the coming weeks, having said he will consider his next steps during F1's August break.

But he insisted the debut of Aston Martin’s B-spec 2026 car – one the team refuses to call a B-spec but is in fact a B-spec because it will require a new, lighter, crash-tested chassis – will not be a major driver in that decision.

Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin): Finally saying goodbye to the current car!

With just over half the season gone, Fernando Alonso at Aston Martin is finally getting his completely revamped car with lots of upgrades. He’s delighted to finally be able to say “adios”. What lies ahead for Alonso…

Formula 1 is back for 2026, and the cars are all sporting new looks.

But it won't be just a fresh coat of paint on show at the Melbourne Grand Prix.

Former Renault engineer Chris Papadopoulos says this year features one of the biggest regulation changes since the sport's inception.

"Tyres, aerodynamics, vehicle dimension and engine rules … so basically, just about everything on the car is changing," he says.

The cars will be louder, slower on the corners and harder to handle, but more sustainable for the planet than previous designs.

‘Shock for everyone’: Why Melbourne will be the hardest test of F1’s new era

Melbourne will bear witness to what’s being billed as the most significant change in Formula 1 history.

Forget everything you thought you knew about how Formula 1 works — about last year’s form guide, about those stubborn car traits that came to define the competitiveness of each team.

Ford Australia has recalled some of its Ranger and Everest units, according to a Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communication, Sports and the Arts filing.

It concerns 244 units affected in the 2022 model year relating to a low battery level causing the transmission to shift into the Park setting at low speeds.

“Due to a software issue, under certain circumstances if the battery level drops below a critical threshold, the transmission may shift into Park when the vehicle is travelling at speeds below 6 km/h,” the notice reads.

Ford recalls 2022 Ford Ranger and Ford Everest models over safety issue

Ford has issued an urgent recall affecting two car models over major safety concerns caused by software issues.

The alert was issued for the 2022 Ford Ranger and Ford Everest models, with more than 200 cars affected.

The Department of Transport said the vehicles have a defect caused by a software issue, where if the battery level drops below a critical threshold, the transmission may shift itself into the park position when the vehicle is travelling at speeds below 6km/h.

“This may cause a sudden stop without the rear brake lamps illuminating as intended,” they said.

“A sudden stop whilst driving at low speed and the rear brake lamps not illuminating as intended could increase the potential risk of an accident, causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.”

The Aussie ingredient in the latest supercharged Ford Mustang V8 track special – but there's a cruel catch

An Australian ingredient has helped create Ford's latest high-performance, supercharged V8 Mustang – but, for now at least, Australians will be denied the chance to buy one.

Ford has called upon Australian engineering to create its newest supercharged V8-powered Ford Mustang track special, the Dark Horse SC, revealed in the US overnight.

Yet, like the Mustang GTD and Shelby GT500 before it, Australian customers are to be skipped – for now, at least – in the rollout of the latest hero Ford, as it is not expected to be produced in right-hand drive for local showrooms.

The Dark Horse SC is the 5.2-litre supercharged V8 successor to the Shelby GT500 in the previous-generation Mustang range, and draws on the Dark Horse name that debuted on a less potent track-ready variant based on the regular 5.0-litre GT.

Ford has announced its new Mustang Dark Horse SC sports car over in North America.

This Mustang will replace the Shelby GT500 variant — as the top-spec track-ready edition of the car.

Little is known about the technical details of the new muscle car, other than it will be powered by a supercharged 5.2-litre V8 petrol engine.

This same engine is fitted to the hardcore Mustang GTD, which makes 608kW, but expect the Dark Horse SC to produce less than that but still more than the Shelby GT500's 567kW.

News, reviews and comparisons of electric cars and SUVs from Australia's most trusted experts

Now look, I desperately and deeply wanted to cheat with this nomination, because my best car overall for the year had electric motors and was, in fact, the greatest car in the history of the known universe – the Ferrari F80. But no, strictly it’s not an electric car, it’s a monster munch of a hypercar. Sigh.

My winner, then, comes from the other end of the scale, but before we get to that one I should mention some others that came close – firstly, the huge and hugely unexpectedly good Zeekr 009 posh people mover, which just has no right to be as much fun to drive as it is, even if it does look like a Storm Trooper who tried to shave without taking his helmet off.
