@nws13 @stardust_p1 @effonecasualfan Lewis Hamilton fans talking about having an engine advantage will never not be funny to me
English
@stardust_p1 @effonecasualfan A "fault in the injection system control unit" lol.
i.e. "our trick fuel flow cheat was acting up a bit on cylinder 3" 🤭

@LAT3BRAKING I don’t get why Lewis gets to have bad years and not George . 2022 was just a case of Russell underperforming in a new team
English
Over a tenth clear of Russell in qualifying after Baku in 2022 and George might never be beaten in quali h2h in his career again. Lewis was crazy fast that year and it gets undermined because of no wins
Rana@FormulaUR_
Data for the pairing - feel free to share any potential changes. Of course, this may differ to numbers seen elsewhere or in the past - but not too different I’d like to think that it makes a difference. Any changes likely come from how I deal with sessions and pool of laps - worth a greater bias towards the final session than I have done previously, especially when track conditions are not stable. General method is still the same as I’ve always had it - take the pool of laps done in identical conditions/run plans, and pick each drivers’ fastest unless weather conditions make that impossible.
English
@StaurosNiarchos @AlexLacl Charles neutralized - still matches Lewis and will likely beat him
Lewis neutralized - gets demolished by Charles
Hope that helps

@effwons @AlexLacl He couldn’t use his late braking technique you genius! It’s exactly the same! Same thing happened with Ricciardo! They didn’t forget how to driver all of a sudden…
Same thing happened to Vettel with the 2014 engines! He could never manage a car with torque and loose rear end…
English
Yes it neutralized MV skills in fast corners but he should adapt to it or find a way to be faster.
GE cars nerfed Hamilton, Pirelli tyres nerfed Webber & MSC, Bridgestone 2007 nerfed several drivers, Active Cars nerfed Prost yet they all tried to adapt and complained less 👍

THESE REGS HAVE NEUTRALISED VERSTAPPEN! #F1

@AlexLacl @MITC_WindoW Well, you are wrong. As Peter says, the gap between teammates has reduced because the faster drivers cannot make much of a difference anymore. Even Isaac will be closer to Max.
They are not more aggressive lol, they are slower through most corners that matter compared to 2025
English
@MITC_WindoW @effwons The 2026 cars can be driven more aggressively and you didnt need 1 specific driving style to make these cars works like in GE era
Hamilton and Antonelli are good examples they are completely different from last year
English
@brakeboosted I fear we might not see a Hungary 2025 like qualifying anytime soon, where a driver uses better instincts to get pole when conditions change dramatically
We are now going to see who’s software adapts the best, which is a damn shame
English
@NotFifthGear Newey himself stated that they have the fifth best chassis. So all this money and investment to compete with Haas/Alpine
English
No one's going to copy Aston Martin's design now but I do wonder how good the Newey car is by itself with another engine
English
Ferrari is close to the benchmark Mercedes squad, but reckons based on current performance levels it will be allowed an engine upgrade later this year. #F1.

@ProvenceStyleCo @ESPNF1 Once Charles figures out qualifying and McLaren get upto speed , it is over for Lewis
English
@ESPNF1 Ferrari saying “race each other” sounds great… until the first wheel-to-wheel moment. Who actually wins that battle over a season: Hamilton or Leclerc?
English
@TheTechnician44 It was only the Ferrari boys though. Not sure what George and Kimi showed expect some crazy straight line speeds.
English
China Wrap Up 🇨🇳
Another good weekend.
Ferrari gave it a go but Mercedes just to quick again.
Conditions on Sunday fell perfect for Mercedes track cooled alot, Ferrari raced each other.
George Kimi Lewis and Charles all showed the world of F1 how we should actually go racing
English
Watch the moment where Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc's wheels come together during their scrap at the Chinese Grand Prix 🔴 👀
English
@Verstappenn_ It was a super lucky win for Max. Exactly the opposite for George/Charles who ran into disaster going for their first wins
English
I’d argue that Max is more impressive, Lewis walked into the best car on the grid and took 6 races to win, max started in a toro rosso but when given the opportunity in a front running car he won on DEBUT AT 18!!!!

I bet this record won’t be broken even in the next 100 years of F1. 🐐 #LewisHamilton #F1

@HughesMarston @Danelerc Dude, just learn to appreciate both . Charles has beaten more multi world champions than Lewis ever has . And has already schooled him last year. Show some humility , even Lewis himself does
English
@effwons @Danelerc Yes he has.. Alsonso, Jensen, Nico.. all world champions. And then George who is similar to Charles. I see a lot of Leclerc fans beating their chest about how good Charles is, and he is good. But I think there’s a lot of overconfidence that underestimates Lewis. - even at 41.
English
There’s absolutely nothing for Charles to learn in tyre management from Lewis, his tyre management is already goat tier it was the lockups that killed his tyres today
Swervin@SwervinF1
I think Charles can learn a lot from Lewis in tire management today
English
@HughesMarston @Danelerc And Lewis hasn’t had a teammate like Charles. I appreciate your confidence though :)
English
@HughesMarston @Danelerc You might have not watched Charles, but you’ll come to understand too :)
English
@glazerof16 @AndyGraham22 I think you are just overly critical tbh. The mistakes are what make them human and not robots. Every single driver on the grid does them, but they are forgotten/noticed based on the outcome
English
@AndyGraham22 To be abit critical he still has that occasional lock up/missed corner in him every other race, really hope for cleaner upcoming races. Even if this wasn’t a strong track for him, that lock up was very consequential and would be even more so in a hypothetical championship fight.
