@AutoPulseX @formularacers_ @GPblog_com Makes sense now, but also, I wouldn’t care either way.

@YankeeOnTheGrid @formularacers_ @GPblog_com RedBull Media event - but most who are talking about it act like it was an F1 hosted event.

🚨 | The FIA has reportedly told Red Bull that F1 journalists are unhappy with how the incident between Max Verstappen and a British Journalist (at the Japanese GP) was dealt with. The incident is said to have been discussed within the F1 Media Advisory Council. [@GPblog_com]

@F1JayyUK @AutoPulseX @formularacers_ @GPblog_com Ahh gotcha. I wouldn’t care either way. I’m glad Max did what he did. That guy seemed like a douche and confirmed it with his statement after the fact.

@YankeeOnTheGrid @AutoPulseX @formularacers_ @GPblog_com Redbull presser

@AutoPulseX @formularacers_ @GPblog_com Was it? I thought it was a standard f1 media session.

@formularacers_ @GPblog_com It was an invitational event hosted by Red Bull. They can include and remove whomever they please. Journalist crybabies unite!

@blackbirchdrive @Scuderiascoop Turbos don’t magically make the engine quiet.

@Scuderiascoop Nooooooo turbo!! I'm over this shit. LOUD

🚨| JUST IN: Talks are already underway for F1’s next engine rules Manufacturers want a 2.4L turbo V8 running on sustainable fuel. It would keep turbos (unlike the 2006–2013 naturally aspirated V8s) due to manufacturer demand. [#AMuS]

@TifosiTemsilci Head down and race

Şu video her seferinde gümletiyo, sürekli arkaya dönüp bakması kahkaha atmama ve hafiften sıyırmama sebebiyet veriyor.

@AutoPulseX I take it you don’t agree

@YankeeOnTheGrid Oh, that’s what he is…..🤔

Well, that’s one of us. What kinda F1 crap is this? 🙄

@MattP1Gallagher @Alex_Gillon Exactly. Im normally the type of guy (from America) who will set an alarm and wake up for the races, but for Japan (one of my favorite circuits) I decided against it and just watched the highlights. Not even the 30 minute version. The short one.

@Alex_Gillon Because more people are watching the highlights and not the actual races Wouldn't say that's a good thing

Does everyone REALLY hate Formula 1 at the moment? F1’s YouTube channel actually has about DOUBLE the amount of views over the last 2 months compared to the same 2 months of 2025 #f1 #formula1

@AutoPulseX That’s actually kind of impressive considering these cars were supposed to be about 3 seconds slower per lap than the previous generation.

🎉 Congrats to Kimi Antonelli getting pole in Suzuka….but his time would’ve put him in P18 last year! 😳😲

@VerstappenSim x.com/yankeeonthegri… You had an amazing suggestion such as this, and you go with Simstappies?

Guess it’s simstappies now

@VerstappenSim So what’s it gonna be @VerstappenSim admin? What did I win?

@VerstappenSim Verstappen Sim Community or VSC also has reference to Virtual Safety Car

We need a new name for our lovely community. Any suggestions? 🤗

@Katzestappen @VerstappenSim Like in a good way or…?

@YankeeOnTheGrid @VerstappenSim VSC is crazy 😭

@MrRahmanF1 @VerstappenSim Or VSC (Verstappen Sim Community .. also has reference to virtual safety car.

@VerstappenSim Ok here me out. VRC (Verstappen Racing Community). I really think it suits it and has a bit of racing formula in it too :)

@VeldinNZ @RBR_Daily Max does all his required work for RBR. No work ethic? Lol. I can guarantee this dude works harder at his craft than you do at yours, whatever that may be.

@RBR_Daily He should help his F1 team fix their problems and not do some pointless races. He is employed at RBR and earns 80mio a year but has no work ethic.

Face of motorsport.

@RBR_Daily lol. Thats not even Max.

@IDeltic @krissmakubi @F1 @grok This chap is LAZY

@krissmakubi @F1 @grok Using AI for some of the most simple maths imaginable🥀

A total of 13 winners on the grid! 😮‍💨🏆 Kimi Antonelli is our latest addition to the winners' club 👀 #F1

This is my first time seeing this. All I can say is WOW. Two absolute legendary figures in Formula 1 enjoying a ride around one of the most legendary circuits in the world together.

@F1GuyDan Ahh nevermind. It was Antonelli last year at Suzuka. He beat Max’s record by 3 days!

@F1GuyDan Wait, if Verstappen was the youngest to win a race, how is he not also the youngest to lead a race? Did Antonelli lead a race last year and was still younger than Verstappen was?

😳 The youngest F1 driver ever to: Win a race - Verstappen Take pole - Antonelli Be on the podium - Verstappen Lead a race - Antonelli Score points - Verstappen Set the fastest lap - Antonelli Start a race - Verstappen Have a hat trick - Antonelli Have a grand slam - Verstappen
