Albon hitting a poor groundhog during #FP1 in #CanadianGP

Max Verstappen rarely makes a mistake. But when he do, it is ALWAYS perfect 360 with minimum time lost. Insane car control. #MiamiGP

@storey966 Yeah Toto said something about smooth surfaces doesn’t suit George. But top championship contender should be on podium at not his best tracks too.

@F1_Newsletter Heard this isn't exactly his best track.

OK. George Russell officially has a huge problem. Not only this season, but one that could hinder his whole career. This time, no unlucky Safety Car or technical problems, only lacking pace compared to a 19-year-old kid. Again. #MiamiGP

How to EASILY fix current F1 rules before the next GP: Get rid of the super-clipping bullshit (aka cars slowing down 50 kph in the middle of a straight) and allow battery re-charging ONLY under braking. Switch to ECU power only by default and let drivers—not AI or computers—decide when to deploy the remaining 50% of electric boost by pressing the button like KERS. Problem solved. Yes, cars will be slower — but at least they’ll stop slowing down in the middle of the f***ing straight. We’ll still get overtakes (thanks to different energy levels at the same point on track), but they won’t feel artificial — and we won’t see that ridiculous 3–4 re-passes in 1–2 corners.

@F1pacient Čomu tlieskame? Lebo zatiaľ to je jeden crash v P3 v Austrálii, ďalší crash v Číne v šprinte do Hadjra a v pretekoch na konci ďalšia jazdecká chyba. Našťastie bol Russell ďaleko za ním, ale superlatívmi by som počkal aspoň na bezchybný víkend.

Doufám, že se tu zase neobjeví nějací chytráci co by chtěli Kimiho výkon shazovat. Od momentu, kdy se Russell odpoutal od Ferrari, nedokázal na Kimiho stáhnout ani 2 sekundy. Jasně, v tom trafficu si trochu ničil pneumatiky zatímco Kimi jel na čistém vzduchu. Taky ale musíme brát v úvahu tu propast ve zkušenostech, fakt že se vývoj monopostu řídil téměř výhradně podle not George jako zkušenějšího pilota a tak dále. Tohle byl zkrátka neskutečný výkon ať se na to podíváte jakkoliv.

@McLarenF1 This didn't aged well.

Ready to go 👊 #McLarenF1 | #ChineseGP 🇨🇳

Calm down, everyone. Kimi Antonelli still didn't show anything special at the 🇨🇳 GP. Bottas or any other driver on the grid could done this: 1. He was driving the Mercedes rocketship, the fastest car on the grid by far. 2. George Russell had technical problems in qualifying and couldn't challenge for pole position due to an empty battery and cold tires in his only hot lap. 3. After Ferrari's rocket start, Russell was stuck behind Hamilton and Leclerc, which hurt his tires and allowed Antonelli to win with a 5.5-second gap over George. 4. He still made a stupid mistake and received a 10-second penalty for crashing into Hadjar in the Sprint Race. But... if you really have talent, being put into the rocketship—the fastest car on the grid—and exposing every mistake you could possibly make will accelerate your learning curve like nothing else in F1. First pole. First win. Even with huge luck. Good job.

You have to feel sorry for Hadjar. Two perfectly started races in a row, destroyed through no fault of his own. Mechanical problems in 🇦🇺 and a hit from Antonelli in the 🇨🇳 sprint.

Interesting team-mate dynamics are already building at Mercedes and Ferrari in 2026. Mercedes has the fastest car, but Antonelli is still making rookie mistakes. As the other teams catch up, could this cost Mercedes important points in the championship? On the other hand, Ferrari has two great experienced drivers, but Hamilton and Leclerc are very close together and will be taking points from one another. And Hamilton has proved he absolutely can’t work with an equally fast team-mate. If he is battling for wins, he will start to play games like with Alonso and Rosberg, triggering a civil war inside Ferrari. #F1 #ChineseGP

In this video, you can see that Aston Martin vibrations from Honda engine. #F1 #AustralianGP

Fernando Alonso, Lance Stroll and Mike Krack are looking at Aston Martin’ pace in comparison with Mercedes and RBPT powered teams. #F1Testing

Ouch... First REAL pictures of new RB reveals MASSIVE airbox indicating issues with cooling for new Ford - Red Bull Powertrain engines. Surely, the same thing will be on Red Bull A-team car. One championship contender already out? #f1

REASON FOR BOTH MCLARENS FACING DSQ REVEALED live on TV: McLaren and Sky F1's Graig Slater are thinking this is 9 mm. God, Great Britain should really change to metric system in 2026! #F1 #LasVegasGP

What the fuck? Are we back in 90s? Kudos for the race control usually letting drivers race for almost whole lap when there is an incident in first corner. But someone has no other job than watching Verstappen on driver tracker and trigger VSC as soon as he approached T16. #LasVegasGP

Racing incident for me as Piastri locked up, but was still hugging the apex perfectly. #BrazilianGP

Run-off area after 350 kph straight left the chat.

For McLaren, it looks like now is the time to prefer Piastri as he has bigger gap to Verstappen in WDC. Oscar should keep taking Lando out every time they are close to each other on track. #F1 #USGP

@stephen82038021 I don’t think so, it looks like he was catching “oversteer” and there is no proof. But surely he is happy Norris is out too :)

@F1_Newsletter Surely he gets grip penalty

Did Piastri deliberately hit Norris to take him out with himself immediately as he felt hit from Hulkenberg? #F1 #USGP
