@OscarPiastri Well, a 100% Podium Rate this season! Good enough so far. 😅

First laps, first trophy

>"onboard" >Roughly half the lap is trackside-cams At this point this is getting embarassing...

Nice progress on the leaderboard, if I do say so myself...

Something something don't let your dreams be memes

That was actually quite a fun race! Some great actual overtakes and battling happening in China. I suppose the rules need to be tweaked a little to remove the clipping issues, and then you might have solid F1 car for racing. #F1

@Robek95 I never really expected it to be "Special". My prediction was always "new cars and lineup to use on F1 25 in Quick Race, Multiplayer and Time Trial" and that's it.

@mantazzo So……. Nothing special

2026 Season Pack, huh... That sounds like more or less of what I expect.

Ooh, nice... Shame that only new quick release is supported, but I guess that's to be expected.

Also, just to note - official graphics comparing the amount of overtakes between this year and last year is dumb. 2025 Australian GP was affected by Rain. 2026 Australian GP was completely bone dry.

I hope to watch the next race live on F1TV, then maybe I can give a more proper feedback, but right now, I was not impressed - I would even say disappointed. Hyping it all up so much, to have more or less the same order.

I hope that something is quickly done about all the battery use, because it doesn't look good on TV. F1 was never about the "amount" of overtakes, but about the "good" overtakes. "Battery overtakes" isn't better than easy DRS overtakes. (3/3)

Since I was busy yesterday, some thoughts about the F1 2026 Australian GP. Note that I have only seen highlights and roughly last 15 laps. - Good to see the cars are nimbler - The tyres still seem to last way too long - Many of the overtakes felt like "battery passes" (1/3)

In any case, today's a special day for me, as I am now in my 30s. Feels weird saying the "3" at the front instead of "2". But hey, here's to another decade. 🥂

Well then, I just woke up, time to check the result-- Oh f*ck.

Also, I'm surprised Codemasters have not even released any news regarding the Season 6 Podium Pass launch at the moment. Weird. I would have expected at least *something*...

Damn, my late April prediction just went out of the window. Then again, I'm not TOO surprised, considering that there are still way too many unknowns with the regulations just before the season start.

@orodrigzz @EASPORTSF1 Considering that the rules haven't been finlaized yet at this point, and supposedly some meetings will be held after first two races to discuss things, it's fair that this will take some time to finish up. Late April is somewhat likely, though.

@EASPORTSF1 even a dlc is not coming on season launch. Amazing.

@joshmerrin Well then let's hope they don't change their minds 😄

@mantazzo EA said they're gonna post some news when they release S5

I wonder if we're getting any F1 Game news next week... Mostly because IIRC Podium Pass Season 5 is ending next week, lol
