"We are witnessing something that no one has ever seen in the entire history of Formula 1" #MaxVerstappen #MV33

@wearetherace Hmm @Max33Verstappen ticks all the boxes

The perfect F1 driver might not exist, but if they did... which characteristics or traits from other drivers would they be made up from?? 💭

@AlpineF1Team Too long, could have made a movie about it. Nonsense

@AstonMartinF1 @1JessicaHawkins Don't Make it sound like she's racing in F1 lol

F1 is on a break in April, but @1JessicaHawkins is getting back behind the wheel. Later this month, she'll be racing the Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4 in British GT4 at the Silverstone 500. 🔗: astonmartinf1.com/en-GB/news/ann…

@F1 #JapaneseGP

Russell takes the lead... but back comes Piastri! 😮‍💨⚔️ #F1 #JapaneseGP

@MercedesAMGF1 Plagiarism. Needs his own. #JapaneseGP

NEW CELEBRATION UNLOCKED 😤⚡️

@ChrisMedlandF1 #JapaneseGP

He's straight back up to speed, so that could have been a harvesting/deployment difference. He lost a huge amount of speed on the run to Spoon #F1 #JapaneseGP

Russell suddenly slows and Leclerc is ahead! Is there a problem?! #F1 #JapaneseGP

@F1 #JapaneseGP

LAP 9 & 10/53 Russell gets past Piastri at the chicane but the Australian retakes the lead down the main straight #F1 #JapaneseGP

Oliver Bearman Some of those corners which were balls to the wall before are not the case anymore. Alex Albon I think what I'm feeling so far this year is that there isn't really any high speed anymore. Because you're arriving so slowly, basically everything is a medium speed corner now. Charles Leclerc I honestly can’t stand qualifying, it’s a fking joke! I go faster in corners, throttle earlier, for fk’s sake, i'm losing everything in the straight Lando Norris It hurts your soul seeing your speed dropping so much. 56 kph down the straight. Fernando Alonso Maybe 50% of the team members can drive in Suzuka now I think. High-speed corners now are the charging station for the car. So driver skill is not really needed anymore. You just need to back off the throttle or turn down the battery and you charge the thing. Checo Pérez I think we need bigger changes because it's a shame, you know, you, you come here and Suzuka is the best circuit in the world and it hasn't been that enjoyable, you know, because we are recharging a lot through sector one and stuff. So I really hope that in the coming races we are able to figure out something better for qualifying, you know, because at the moment we are too energy dependent and hopefully we can, we can find some good changes.

@F1 @pirellisport F1 Marshalls in high speed corners

Unfortunately Kimi’s onboard camera had a technical issue part way through his lap, meaning we are unable to bring you the lap onboard in full. To analyse his lap, please see our ghost car comparison with a full lap onboard view from George Russell’s fastest qualifying effort here - x.com/F1/status/2037…

Kimi Antonelli secures the @pirellisport Pole Position Lap in Japan! 😮‍💨 Let's ride onboard with the Mercedes driver for his lap of the iconic Suzuka 🤩👇 #F1 #JapaneseGP

@TeamLHtears Alonso: 'High-speed corners now become the charging station for the car' #JapaneseGP #F1

Genuinely so embarrassing for the sport to cut away before 130R. Doing everything to hide this shit show 😂

@wearetherace @XPBImages #F1 @Max33Verstappen wouldn't be leaving because of the new regulations, if he retires, it would be F1 left Max, and millions of fans too. Max can still race, F1 can't

Max Verstappen has admitted he has a decision to make about his F1 future due to his lack of enjoyment with the current rules. After getting eliminated in Q2 in Japan, Verstappen said he has “a lot of stuff personally to figure out”.

How they need to drive so the AI in their cars don't cost them 3 tenths down the straight for no reason

@MercedesAMGF1 LoL

Unique race suits. Unique helmets. Unique collaboration. Presenting our look for Suzuka, with Y-3 😮‍💨

@JensonButton @karunchandhok @CroftyF1 @bernie_collins1 @NataliePinkham @tedkravitz @simon_lazenbyF1 @MBrundleF1 @RachelBrookesTV

Energy starved cars, battery management, under limit cornering, downshifting high speed straights, slower lap times, super clipping. Don't mention the war.. All the #SkyF1 presenters, commentators, pundits & reporters saying how great F1 is.. Corporate instructions #JapaneseGP

@F1 #F1 #JapaneseGP

Three cars, one corner 😱 #F1 #JapaneseGP

@wearetherace @XPBImages He's either clueless or refusing to accept or understand why there is yo-yo racing. It has nothing to do with driver skill etc. but it's down to battery energy harvesting/deployment. @LewisHamilton #JapaneseGP

✅ Lewis Hamilton doesn't have a problem with the "yo-yo racing" we've seen so far in 2026:
