F1 2026

[Saddlebrains]

Tbf to Max he is just repeating what he said back in 2024 when they started doing sims with this new type of car. He saw the issues and didn't like it. He had no idea how competitive Red Bull would (or would not) be in 2026 when he started making these comments.

Cant be true, hes a spoilt cry baby prick who cant race apparently

his views on these cars aren't why I think he's a prick.

 

[xcraigx]

I do enjoy seeing Max struggle but he's box office. The sport would be weaker and much less interesting without him.

Russell is getting it handed to him by Antonelli at the minute.

First race iv watched this season Sunday and I must say I did enjoy it compared to the highlights I watched of the first 3. Hopefully these tweaks have made a difference.

And on Russell, im very surprised. I thought he would coast it this season, maybe Kimi really is the second coming of Max...

Not F1, but my god, what an incredible finish to the Indy 500!!! Top two separated by 0.018 at the flag!

 

[xcraigx]

Wow, the Mercs are producing some of the best racing I've seen in years. Indy wasn't bad either!

 

[xcraigx]

And that's that I guess. Other than those two, no other two cars are particularly close to each other.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Robbed of a great race

 

[skybluecam]

Russell has had some rotten luck so far. He's underperformed too, but that's huge for the championship. He'll have to well and truly earn it to win from here.

What an ending that was, I was gripped!

Antonelli really is looking like the next Verstappen isnt he. Absolutely handing Russell's arse to him

He's the real deal, this kid. No doubt about that.

 

[Paul Anthony]

So much for Ferrari being favourites for this race.

Pitch Inspection.

 

[Paul Anthony]

I'm not sure what they can really do about that.

 

[Milan's hair dye]

Had some cowboys in there.

 

[Paul Anthony]

All round, it's been a bit of a cluster really. Clearly some sort of issue with the speed limit sensor in the pits, track breaking up putting two drivers out.

 

[Paul Anthony]

If they standing start this.. I reckon Lewis wins it.

Or not. Now he's under investigation as well.

I mean, let's just give everyone a penalty and call it a day.

 

[Saddlebrains]

That was a fucking mess tbh


However, Kimi Antonelli. 100% the next Hamilton/Verstappen

ADUO F1 engine upgrades decision revealed

The Race understands Red Bull's engine has been declared F1's best under the new development system - meaning Mercedes and Ferrari will get upgrade opportunities

www.the-race.com

Red Bull/Ford declared best ICE, means, unbelievably, Mercedes get ADUO.

How on earth have they come to this conclusion? Or have Mercedes just played an absolute blinder?

Massive cock up by FOM on all accounts, and probably screwed mist of the others who got penalties over. Since everyone else serves them, they can't really do anything about them.

What I think the FIA should have done was change all the speeding penalties to be investigated after the race. Surely even they must have had concern that something was amiss. Had they done that, they'd have avoided this whole shitshow.

Then again, it's the FIA. They specialise in shitshows.

 

[Paul Anthony]

What is going on with Charles Leclerc at the minute.

 

[Mcbean]

Amazing what a great shag can do - well done Lewis - three Brits in the top three first time since 1968

 

[Paul Anthony]

That's been coming for a few races now, he just looks so much more like his old self this season. Clearly likes these new cars a lot more. I think he might well have won even without the VSC, such was his pace.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Well known ive never been his biggest fan, but my fucking word am i pleased to see Lewis win. Seeing one of the greatest ever win in that red car is Formula 1 heritage. Superb drive

 

[tisza]

That's a surprise. Good drive from Hamilton. Nice to see a positive reaction from the crowd considering some of his history at this particular track/crowd. Would be nice to see Ferrari maintain a proper challenge.
Better race again from a driving point of view.

 

[xcraigx]

Get in there Lewis!
