🚨 I AM NOT DEACTIVATING 🚨 The poll was not won by Lando in a fair way. Just like his faux "World Championship", he cheated. I will consider Max to be the real winner of the poll, as he would have been if not for 4s RIGGING THE POLL with bots.

@shanethecnfsr If this was true Norris would be dominating

@mercsogyny @shanethecnfsr Lmao good one

Ah. So THAT'S why Russell likes these regs

@gugapinel @JordiCarSeries Yes but that Power Unit adjustment is a directive from the FIA, not the battery evolving naturally

@Masi_Time @JordiCarSeries i disagree, there has been SO much criticism behind the scenes since testing, with expected adjustments already being made for post japan plus the extensive april break which definitely have adjustments made, and this is just for the short term, imo long term will fix the issues

Finally sat down to watch the Chinese GP. Call me woke but having cars being able to follow each other and battle for several laps is great for the series. Im sure the battery stuff will be tweaked in the near future and we will see “real” overtaking again.

@JordiCarSeries Sure, the cars will evolve. The aero situation will only get worse and worse as more downforce is added, just like the GE cars, and the battery harvesting and deployment will evolve to a point where all the teams align with one another. The same problems I noted will still exist

@Masi_Time You’re saying this as if technology can’t evolve

To think that late 2024 wasn't even that long ago. Back then siding with the FIA would have gotten you fascist shouts and not even a full 24 months later the narrative has been flipped because twitter liberals fell for their greenwashing tactic

@fortifoursi @the_zb_ Super clipping isn't new? Cars slowing down to a crawl in the middle of corners isn't new? Either you're a liar, or a complete imbecile. For your sake, I'm hoping it's the former.

@the_zb_ It’s the principle of it. We are seeing nothing new with regard to regen and deployment, everyone is well accustomed to these, it’s simply the scale of it that has changed.

The way some people are reacting to F1 this year you’d think that we haven’t had hybrid cars for the last 12 years or even KERS 5 years before that. Harvesting energy is nothing new, except even when both cars harvest now they can still race instead of being stuck behind

@folklore2104 @AndyGraham22 Exactly. The only reason that race could have been considered interesting at all, was because of the fake safety car.

@AndyGraham22 Teams do figure it out already about halfway through the race tbf

My big fear is that teams will figure out the most optimal way of deploying the battery charge and things will processional out, and qualifying will remain completely unspectacular, but I'm just trying to enjoy the good races as they come.

@DDiggitydog @Formula1Wimbo @blueslide7777 Often = Literally one time in Miami 2024. But you're American, so that's probably the only race you've ever watched.

@Formula1Wimbo @blueslide7777 But when has F1 ever been like that? Winning is often the diff btwn a fortuitous yellow or safety allowing for a cheap pit. Rarely does the car out in front, in clean air, get tracked down.

It's as if F1 does the opposite of what the core fans want. We don't like sprints, they want to do more. We don't like batteries, they do more. We don't like Street tracks, they plan more. We like classic tracks, they rotate them. #f1

@Szenzo88 @lace_strol The problem is that the excessive energy management makes the driver's role literally meaningless. If you like this Mario Kart style racing, go right ahead. But there's a reason some people don't.

@lace_strol i genuinely dont see the hate being this nessescary. sure the battery managment is gimmicky it ruins qualifying but this is the first year of the regs. id sacrifice qualifying being less spectacular if it means better racing

Jesus christ this is worse than the Hamilton fans in 2022

@iilovemaxv Yes it was unfortunately

do we think oscar is wondering if last year was his only chance?

I totally get that commentators/pundits are at the behest of FOM to be positive about the new regs, I really do. …but we might need to find a bit of balance and honesty. There’s no way that they all wholeheartedly and unanimously agree that everything is great. Some of them may, some won’t. It’s actually those debates that I think viewers would enjoy more. Differing opinions make better telly and people aren’t silly.

@TobbeTheTipper @Gl1tcchhh @F1 But it's not racing, is it? It's just yo-yo battery "overtakes". If that's what you like, whatever. But don't try to claim that it's racing. Because it's not.

@Gl1tcchhh @Masi_Time @F1 Fun racing between the teammates aswell

LAP 36/56 Leclerc locks up into the hairpin, and Hamilton is through for P3! 💨 #F1 #ChineseGP

@Giddeyparty_ @TobbeTheTipper @F1 He's 6th in the 9th fastest car mate

@Masi_Time @TobbeTheTipper @F1 ofc it isnt cuz ur guy is shit rn

@TobbeTheTipper @F1 It's really not

@Masi_Time @F1 More interesting than whole 2025 season already

@F1 Am I the only one who already stopped watching this garbage?

LAP 15/56 Hamilton is making moves, passing Colapinto for P2 now! 👀 Meanwhile, Leclerc passes Russell 🤯 #F1 #ChineseGP

@halalmasala @kcf1only @McLarenF1 McLaren is faster than Red Bull and Oscar out-qualified Lando again.

@Masi_Time @kcf1only @McLarenF1 SPEAK NOWWWWWWW

A productive second session complete 📊💪 #McLarenF1 | #AusGP 🇦🇺

@oversteerbeast @CxmeronCc @an_lin_em They're really not. The action is totally manufactured, the overtakes only exist because the car ahead runs out of battery/is superclipping, not due to any driver skill. And even if you do like that, after the first few laps, the race is a procession.

🗣️ Andrew Benson: "It's going to make for a great highlights reel on Titok [...] But some corners that have defined greatness in Formula 1 drivers - the Esses in Suzuka, turns 9 and 10 in Melbourne, Pouhon in Spa - these have gone from corners that challenge a driver's ability and bravery levels to places where you recover energy. And that, on a fundamental philosophical level, is wrong." [Chequered Flag] #F1
