Throttle Talk

I think it’s only right that my first tweet is the best edit ever made about the best to ever do it. 🎥 Credit: f1moti #F1 #michaelschumacher

Extra fuel. It was an illegal engine

It has never even been close to this bad. Max has been criticizing these regulations since 2023 because they’re genuinely bad. Yes the turbo hybrid and GE eras weren’t liked by all, but at least the drivers could actually race and not just charge their battery. Over half the grid has complained, including guys doing well. So this isn’t a Max crying because his car isn’t fast situation. It’s a genuinely sport ruining change by the morons at FOM/FIA

Hello all dts and newgen fans! I just wanted to let you know that this happens EVERY time a new regulation comes into effect, it's nothing unique and the drivers who have been badly affected by this are not victims. It happens every time, someone succeeds with the car, someone doesn't. A great example is 2022 regulations where redbull did very great, Mercedes did not. That wasn’t as big of a crisis was it? No because it did not affect your driver. Please stop cry, you guys prove nothing but the fact that you are pure dts fans😊

Max Verstappen predicted F1's new rule set would underwhelm, and 2026 is proving him correct, so much so that he might just quit the sport entirely. Link in bio for the full story from Nate Saunders

It’s been mentioned before, but it’s very interesting that there’s such a lack of driver radios on the broadcast now. Almost as if they have nothing positive to say about these regulations…

@GbombM75819 @cytrusf1 There is absolutely nothing botted with my account 😂

@SpeedSector @cytrusf1 You say that with a botted paid account lmao

I can't believe there are still people on here defending the regulations and FOM/FIA

@F1 @salesforce I’m sure he’s absolutely thrilled about that

Mighty Max 🦁 The @salesforce Driver of the Day in Australia goes to Max Verstappen 💪 #F1 #F1DriverOfTheDay #AusGP

@fawteefaw Unfortunately I think you’re right. Only a TD can save us now

@SpeedSector i don’t mean to be dismissive but there won’t be a fight this year 😭

russell wiping the floor with the entire grid is the least they can do after that abomination of a “title fight” we got last year

@F1GuyDan Love to see it. Hoping he has a great race tomorrow for the home crowd

For the first time ever, Lando Norris has been outqualified by his teammate in Australia. Oscar Piastri gets it done at his home race.

@SkySportsF1 George was perfect today. But that engine needs to be inspected

George Russell takes the first POLE of the 2026 season in Melbourne! 🏎️🇦🇺

@F1 Same vibes

CHEQUERED FLAG ON Q3 🏁👇 Russell 📸 Antonelli Hadjar Leclerc Piastri Norris Hamilton Lindblad Lawson Bortoleto #F1 #AusGP

@RBR_Daily Let’s go Isack!! He killed it today

ISACK HADJAR QUALIFIES P3 AT THE AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX! Absolutely incredible, what a lap! 👏

@F1 Congratulations on the worst set of regulations the sport has ever seen!

GEORGE RUSSELL IS ON POLE POSITION IN AUSTRALIA! 🥇 WHAT. A. LAP! 👏 #F1 #AusGP

@fawteefaw He never was. Just a bunch of new fans that never saw him at his best

i’ll be the one that bites for this, when was he ever crash prone? the discourse around him nowadays is too weird

@f1trollofficial Welcome back Mercedes rocketship

@formularacers_ @ErikvHaren I’m shocked that with his level of experience he didn’t let go of the wheel

🚨 | Max Verstappen is currently in the medical centre after his crash. The Dutchman seemed to be showing discomfort in his hands. [@ErikvHaren]

I’ll never understand why George Russell is so underrated. Everyone says “He does nothing and gets P3”. But you know what that is? Consistency. He’s always running towards the front and getting what he can out of the car. Maybe it’s because he was Lewis’ teammate and then overshadowed by Max and Lando fighting for the championship. But I think George in a championship winning capable car would run away with the championship

@Stuart_Guedes__ @cytrusf1 Agreed. That’s why it’s funny that everyone keeps saying they have a good aero package

@SpeedSector @cytrusf1 Just cos newey designed it doesn’t mean it’s fast tho, will it be probably with his track record but no one knows for sure tho

Gentlemen, a short view back to the past...

@F1GuyDan Man that’s rough. Alonso will never catch a break

🚨 These are some really interesting comments from Adrian Newey: • Honda re-entered F1 with roughly 30% of their original team • Many members of Honda now are fresh to F1 • Aston Martin only really became aware of Honda's inexperienced team LAST NOVEMBER

@ScrewderiaF1 A Charles vs Max championship battle would make up for all the regulation shenanigans we’re going to have to endure this season
