Grumpy Kerb

Michael Schumacher was born 57 years ago. Born to be a leader. Find out why his mechanics were willing to do anything for their boy. #KeepFightingMichael #Schumacher 👇open.substack.com/pub/grumpykerb…

Looks like the FIA is slowly coming to terms with reality.

@Versutta Don't know about these regs, but Wolff hadn't designed the 2014 ones, 'cause when they were approved in 2011, he was at Williams.

Yes, he did, just like back in 2014. For 2026, Audi wanted a front MGU-K, but Toto shut it down, even though it would have made energy recovery under braking far more efficient and avoided this excessive super clipping phenomena. Now we're stuck in this mess.

@ESPNF1 👍

🎙️"Lando, did you enjoy that?" Lando🗣️: "Pffff, you shouldn’t have started with that question..."

@F1BigData If they nerf the mushroom, then there will be less yo-yo battles, and overtaking in general. It will lose its intended purpose. Lol.

Carlos Sainz on Bearman's accident: "This break is good for F1. The accident we saw today was something the drivers had been warning the FIA and FOM about; it was just a matter of time. We're reaching speed differencials of 40-50 km/h using boost, and this accident was inevitable I hope Formula 1 reconsiders its position, because it is clear that these regulations have loopholes and problems that need to be addressed before going to Miami"

How the fuck Bottas finished behind Alonso? #JapaneseGP

Hope you are alright @OllieBearman, and it's nothing too serious. 🙏

@Motorsport 2026 summed up in one sentence.

Oscar Piastri to Charles Leclerc watching Bearman’s crash: “I finally see what you mean about the mushroom.”

@F1BigData A fitting picture. Wheel-to-wheel, Russell is closer to Bottas than to Leclerc.

Charles Leclerc overtaking around the outside of Turn 1 in Suzuka

@cytrusf1 Seems logical. They're not gonna shoot themselves in the dick. Publicly.

Feels like FIA won't investigate the crash because they'll have to put in writing that the harvest vs deploy speed is dangerous...

@MV33Racing He set it up in the chicane. 🧑‍🍳 Beutiful.

Wow Charles, what a fvking overtake 🤩

@F1 Used to much mushroom?

LAP 38/53 Problems for Russell... He's dropped behind Leclerc and is down to fifth #F1 #JapaneseGP

This was so embarrassing that the woke environmentalists had to remove the onboards from spoon to the finish Let's compare it to MSC 99 pole lap - Amazing engine sound - Pushing each corner to the max - No woke battery management - No embarrassing LiCo They destroyed Formula 1

@CraigBr22288103 @Selvam_Speaks @autosport Not only that race, but that year overall.

@Selvam_Speaks @autosport Great overtake, but Schumacher's tires were gone. The Michelins were better that race.

There's still only one Emperor of Suzuka 🐐

@F1 Lol.

Charles hasn't nodded off! He's trying to visualise the perfect lap 🧠 #F1 #JapaneseGP

@frentzen_hh That's smart advice, but with these cars, they're not at the edge of grip in the corners, where it's the most dangerous. Or, shall I say, it used to be.

If you lose your motivation in F1, it's better to quit, or at least take a break. That's what I did. The sport is too dangerous if you lose your focus.

@autosport Holding a grudge like a Siberian tiger. Hilarious.

Max Verstappen explains why he dismissed a British journalist from his media session in Japan: “I got that question quite often last year, and I think I answered it more than twenty times. So when someone asks that question during the press conference after the last race and also laughs in your face, to me that has to do with a complete lack of respect. If you don't give me respect, why would I give you respect? You only see the camera pointed at me and not at that person, who just started laughing. And you could clearly see that there was malicious intent behind it at that moment. That is enough for me. I have been in Formula 1 long enough to know who has good intentions and who has bad intentions. If you go and laugh at me right there, you clearly don’t have good intentions.” (via @viaplay)

Looks like a generic actor from a 1980s sitcom on this picture.

@Motor_Sport @Charles_Leclerc These engines will do that to a mother fucker.

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc called F1 qualifying “a f***ing joke” after finishing Q3 in Suzuka over 0.6s behind Kimi Antonelli’s pole-winning Mercedes 🤬 Leclerc believes he is “losing everything on the straight” despite being “faster in the corners” and on the “throttle eqrlier”.

@Verstappenn_ And to the past drivers in general. There would be no Verstappen without Fangio, Stewart, Lauda etc.

This is why people need to respect the likes of Fangio, that’s not even a relatively fast corner in terms of racing. Massive respect to the drivers of the 50s and 60s

@Motorsport Shame, the more he shits on Mario Kart, the better.

"In a weird way, I'm actually not that angry... I've already gotten past that stage. Which isn't a good thing either." — Max Verstappen, from Viaplay
