@HillF1 Could this have been resolved earlier with more preseason testing like we used to have? More cars on track running race simulations in testing vs subjecting the fans to 3 races & then figuring it out? Time to return to more extensive testing, at least at the start of a reg set.

I think we have a safety issue. Cars suddenly slowing at high speed is highly dangerous.

@F1JayyUK He comment "I can't control it" is the mosty worrying part. The drivers will adapt to almost anything, but they need to control it. Not AI software or anything else. If you take the control away from the driver's you might as well go driverless.

Pretty damning from Lando this is. “Honestly some of the racing, I didn’t even want to overtake Lewis. It’s just that my battery deploys, I don’t want it to deploy, but I can’t control it. So, I overtake him, and then I have no battery left, so he just flies past. This is not racing, this is yo-yoing. Even though he [Hamilton] says it’s not, it is yo-yoing.”

@AntonioSabatoJr Ah yes, the era of flip phones, Pentium computers, & windows vista. Let's go backwards because its always better. Sound awesome. Yeah. Do I want V10s & refuelling today? No. Fuel saving & unreliability & wide performance differences made for a lot of boring racing then too.

V10 Formula 1 the real sound for a real race car and this was a real season, not like this season’s batteries 🪫 BS & idiotic regulations.

@Verstappenn_ The cars still need to come down in size. Just because they are smaller than the previous boats doesn't make them great. They're still bloated. Another 6-8% reduction is size is needed. I have no problem with the mixed power unit. They just need to fix the balance & deployement

I just want to know who at F1 & the Fia who decided in 2022 that no we’re not going back to Naturally aspirated v10 or v8s on sustainable fuel, we’re going to go for 1.5l v6 turbos with 50% battery that runs out on a long straight. Should be sacked! The cars and aero are stunning. The engines ruining it all. Embarrassing regulation set.

@GOWENYT Nope. I've seen so many drivers come and go over the past 50 years. I miss Villeneuve, senna, Mansell, hakkinen. I won't miss Max's driving style or attitude. I will continue to enjoy seeing the youngsters in the sport develop into champions along with more reputable champions

Max Verstappen is that driver that so many people hate, but will eventually miss him when he’s left the sport for a few years They just don’t realize yet, how boring F1 will be when he’s gone

@MV33Racing The sport will be just fine without him. There will always be another great driver to watch.

Max Verstappen warned them back in 2023, but the FIA/F1 didn't listen. Now the sport has turned into an unsafe, chaotic Battery Championship, and they risk losing the best driver on the grid in his prime. Well done FIA/F1 👏

@LeahRebeccaUK @AudiOfficial @fia Like Red Bull requesting an engine freeze because they were losing their engine manufacturer a few years back, and then having theirnengin manuf stay anyways? You mean like that?

The decision of @AudiOfficial to join @fia #F1 was dependant on the FIA bringing a greater electrical energy dependancy to the sport - which has, in my opinion, ruined the sport. No team should have this leverage, no matter how much money they have to spend 😡😡😡

@F1BigData He would be the embarrassment. Every champion has had to adapt to regulation sets, even if they were unfavourable to them or the sport. Throwing a hissy fit on the way out the door is not champion like.

If Verstappen retires because of the new engines, it would possibly be one of the biggest embarrassments ever committed by Formula 1

@AntonioSabatoJr So you are comparing a car in the final year of a reg set (when the cars have been optimized for those regs) to a car within the first 3 races of a major reg change (one of the biggest in history) where the teams are still figuring things out?

This 2026 F1 season is truly the worst in history.

@SpannersReady The "hide it so no one notices" strategy. Unfortunately many of us are smarter than F1 gives us credit for

If I was F1, I'd also 100% be cutting away from the onboards at those derate points. It's the only play they have that makes sense

@JayGenXer 4 weeks ago gas was $1.22/L where I am. What did the liberals change in the last 4 weeks to make prices go so high? Curious. It's apparently their fault. So what Liberal policy change in the past 4 weeks made these prices jump (BTW, it's $1.70 where I live now).

🇨🇦💸To Canadians who are now looking at $2/litre (and rising). Before you blame it on Trump, here's a reminder. Canada has the 3rd largest oil reserves in the world. It's our Liberal Prime Minister who won't allow us to use them. Plus the Prime Minister before him had a decade to prepare for this, but also wouldn’t us to prepare nor prosper 11 years of planned decline! This was NOT by chance!

@SpannersReady They will be banned from participating in the two cancelled races.

Hamilton wins the Chinese GP if true. tech regs are black and white right?

@unlimited_ls 22mph is putting people in danger ? That's slower than a school zone speed. This guy definitely needed some sense knocked into him

🚨NEW: Video shows how the fight started between Alan Ritchson and his neighbor The neighbor stepped directly in front of the bike, causing Ritchson to flip over the handlebars The neighbor previously said he told the actor to “slow it down.” "I did push him because he was coming towards me on his, on his bike." "He did it again for a second time. I pushed him a second time, and I think the second time he got off his bike and kicked the crap outta me." 1ST Video/ TMZ

@ick_real Obligated? No. As a decent human being, yes.

If a coworker has a car and lives near my house, and drives me to work every day, am I obligated to chip in for gas?

@jurgen_nauditt I think Canada has LNG to sell. Just sayin'

And here comes Trump's next attempt to blackmail Europe: The US is warning the EU of the need to reach a trade agreement, otherwise they could lose "cheap" access to liquefied natural gas (LNG), - FT. The Trump administration is suggesting that European companies could lose priority access to supplies or face higher tariffs if they don't sign the agreement. This comes amid an escalating conflict in the Middle East, which has blocked shipments from Qatar through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump is Europe's enemy.

@MV33Racing "rules are there for a reason and must be respected"......as long as it's not an F1 season ending race

Took a break after a long day of incredible real motor racing, only to unfortunately discover that the team was disqualified afterward due to a tire set mistake. That is part of sport, rules are there for a reason and must be respected. Despite this, no one can take away the experience and the joy the team shared, including the millions of fans around the world who tuned in and enjoyed this fantastic event. On to Mario Kart in Japan, and hopefully back to NLS3 in April at the Nürburgring.

@MV33Racing Troll

The greatest moment in F1 history.
 The day Max Verstappen ended 7 years of Mercedes dominance and saved the sport.

@OfficialS2G There were days with combustion engines that cars didn't get off the start, fuel managing made for boring racing, reliability was awful and less than 10 cars would finish, top 2 or 3 cars would be a lap ahead of the rest of the field. I don't need retro tech in F1.

Can someone explain why F1 has gone down this battery/EV route? We already have Formula E for that. Why not just let F1 be about the best and most powerful combustion engines?

@RBRHub Internal combustion engines failed & created fuel saving races. Ground effected created porpoising & endless DRS trains. Refueling created long pit stops & fuel saving strategy (not unlike battery strategy). "The past is always better" minions either didn't live it or forgot.

🚨 F1 set to adjust engine regulations A complete overhaul of the regulations is not coming, but engine-related tweaks could arrive in the coming weeks. Key areas under discussion: • The start procedure, which has become so complicated that drivers sometimes struggle to get their cars off the line. • Adjusting the balance between battery power and the internal combustion engine to reduce the need for drivers to recharge during a lap. Meetings between F1, the FIA, and the 11 teams will take place in the coming weeks to reach an agreement. After that, some time will be needed to actually implement them.

@F1JayyUK Maybe they are all sucking it up and doing their jobs they get paid well to do instead of whining. Very few liked the last reg set in the first couple years as well. I've never heard another driver talk about leaving as much as Max during his career.

Literally all the drivers have the same opinion about the regs but somehow it’s only Max who is clowned for it. You lot really hate Max more than you love your own drivers enit ?
