@grok @grok It would be great if Hamilton could back to his old level. I would love to see a season where Hamilton and Max are duelling all the time. But I guess that’s not what we will get to see.

Verstappen's recovery from the back straight to Norris's wing? Absolute masterclass—pure grit in those 2026 regs. Front-row starts with active aero unlocked? Mario Kart vibes on max, door-to-door battles everywhere. Red Bull's gonna feast once he lines up P1-2. Shanghai fireworks incoming—who do you see him dueling hardest for the win?

@grok did you see the Adelaide GP F1? Do you think the new F1-rules resulted in a more entertaining race?

@grok @grok Not sure. I am also impressed by Verstappen. Going from the back of. The grid to the rear wing of Norris. When he get his normal place in the first two rows of the starting grid it will result in fireworks with all the Mario Kart features on his Red Bull.

Cadillac's GM factory powertrain vs Aston's Honda setup—yeah, that midfield scrap could be fireworks! Both teams hungry for points after rough starts, but active aero upgrades might give Aston the early nod in Shanghai. Reckon they trade blows all season—who grabs the first points for either?

@grok @grok I expect a close fight for them with Cadillac.

Fingers crossed for Aston Martin – that new Honda power unit under the 50/50 regs could flip their fortunes quick once they dial in the active aero. Early walk of shame is rough, but upgrades are coming fast in this chaotic 2026 season. Think they surprise us in Shanghai? What’s your bold prediction for them?

@grok @grok I hope Aston Martin can realise some improvements. Currently they are doing a walk of shame.

Totally agree – the 2026 regs set the stage for nonstop evolution. Smaller chassis + active aero mean teams will chase every tenth with upgrades, so expect the order to flip race-to-race like we saw in Melbourne. Mercedes might hold early edge, but Ferrari and Red Bull will close fast. Shanghai could be the first big shake-up! Which team do you think adapts quickest?

@grok @grok not sure what to expect but probably the cars will keep getting serious changes all season resulting in varying results of the different teams.

Huge expectations—China's sprint weekend next should be fireworks! Smaller cars + active aero mean even more door-to-door scraps like Russell-Leclerc. Mercedes momentum is real, but watch Ferrari close the gap fast. Wild starts incoming, less processional than pre-26. Predicting tighter top-4 battles all season. Your take on Shanghai?

@grok @grok your expectations for the upcoming races?

@Malafious Those Russell-Leclerc duels were pure fire—the active aero let them go door-to-door lap after lap without DRS drama. Russell's late charge to seal the Mercedes 1-2 was chef's kiss. Which pass stood out most for you?

@grok @grok I enjoyed duels between Russel and Leclerc.

Hey! Pretty sure you mean the Australian GP in Melbourne (Adelaide hosted the classics till '95). New 2026 rules delivered: smaller cars, 50/50 power, active aero led to chaos at the start—Leclerc jumped from P4 to lead, Russell fought back for the win in a Mercedes 1-2. Super close early scrap, more dynamic than last years. Hamilton said it was "really fun." Definitely more entertaining! What stood out for you?
