@DRSunlocked So we can proudly say F1 is not the pinnacle of motorsport anymore

GT3 cars are achieving the same speed as the ’26 F1 cars exiting 130R.
This one kind of hurts.
English
People forget that Kimi taking Max out in Austria 2025 cost him at least 12 WDC points. Yet Max still comforted Kimi, saying that’s just how racing goes.
Now picture George in that scenario, and the meltdown in Britain if he had lost the WDC by only two points.
English
Mercedes and their fans are genuinely a virus on the sport
When Redbull were dominant no one complained. Except Toto who cried and lobbied for “safety”
A car lifting off into an iconic high speed corner is unacceptable, you are just shameless cause your team benefits from it

@brakeboosted If Ferrari were where merc are u won't be saying this

@Motorsport @RonaldVording Lol these tabloid journalists are even scared to reveal the individual's name
Why?
English
Max Verstappen kicked a reporter out of a media session over comments made in Abu Dhabi months prior. 😳
Ronald Vording has more.

@formularacers_ Comparing f1 to karting is diabolical.
Also in karting the drivers are not slowing down to reserve energy to blast down the straights. All the cars are the same in karting thats why peak performance comes down to the drivers. What is this champ smoking?
English
🚨 | Lewis Hamilton on the 2026 cars:
"It happens in karting all the time, back and forth, back and forth.
"Nobody calls it 'yo-yo racing'. It's real racing. So whoever's come up with that is... yeah."

@MissOoo1g Lol with all his dignity why didnt lewis attend the 2021 fia gala?
English
Lewis had AD21 put on him and managed to act with dignity and Max throws a fit every few months over journalists asking valid questions. At what point do his fans admit Max cares about his PR and recognise Max tends to lash out at journalists when things arent going his way.
The Race@wearetherace
😳 Verstappen refused to start his media session until The Guardian’s representative left. It is a result of a clash months ago in the Abu Dhabi finale where Verstappen took issue with a question about regretting his crash with George Russell and subsequent penalty at the Spanish GP, in the context of missing out on the world championship by just two points.
English
The question was asked in bad faith, clearly a setup, followed by a smirk. No respect was shown for a 4-time world champion who made the season worth watching until the final GP.
And it’s about time someone stood up against the British media’s demonization of non-British drivers. t’s not just Max, we’ve seen it happen before with Vettel, Alonso, Schumacher, and Senna.

No doubt my view is coloured by being a member of the media, but think this was pretty out of line from Verstappen. Looks pretty bad on Red Bull too. espn.co.uk/f1/story/_/id/…

@smackdown4829 @nlibrarymouse He was using the phone because he was fed up with the journalists!
English
@mohfaf1 @nlibrarymouse Lewis’s was because the whole week they’d gone on about him using Snapchat and the press conference looked like it would be more of that
Maxs was because a guy 3 months ago had questioned him on an incident
English
If you compare these two situations and say they are similar you are very dense
English
this is why headlines can be dangerous people just read the headline and that one phrase or sentence alone informs their view - this is not just an f1 issue. its what makes world news and the words chosen so dangerous. this is the mild version of the propaganda constantly fed.
カイ@33SLUTZ
he’s hypocritical wbkkkkk
English
Its your choice if you want to answer a question but to force a journo to leave before you start is just childish and pathetic
The guy didn't even ask anything out of pocket back in AD, it was about an incident where Max purposefully crashed into someone and cost himself points
Autosport@autosport
"I'm not speaking before you leave the room..." Max Verstappen refused to start his media session today until a journalist who had previously asked him about his incident with Russell in Barcelona last year had left 👀
English
I'm sorry, but this is truly pathetic from Verstappen. What an absolute child. #F1 bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1…

He’s so embarrassing and has no emotional maturity

Max Verstappen made the start of his press conference here in Suzuka today conditional on the absence of The Guardian journalist, Giles Richards. “I’ll only start when he leaves.” When questioned by the journalist about the reason, Max said it was because of the question he asked in Abu Dhabi last year It was Giles who asked Max whether he regretted what happened at the Spanish Grand Prix and if he thought he had lost the championship because of that race. via: @jucerasoli

@CHILLEDPIZZA 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am pretty sure Verstappen fans don't remember Lewis after Abu Dhabi 2021. Especially in 2025 when he was getting knocked out in Q1
English
The GOAT lives rent free in Verstappies’ heads. This has nothing to do with Lewis
Different situations and he didn’t kick a journalist out. Y’all so embarrassing
#NUKEMILTONKEYNES@mandarthalorian
who does he think he is? these journalists are just trying to do their jobs😡😡😡😡😡😡
English
@Phil18ipp93 @Aldas001 He lost the championship by 2 points. Those 2 points could have come out of anywhere. But these tabloid journalists wants to ragebait for content
English
Lewis’ mindset has been operating on another level
It’s clear he still has it and he won’t rest until he gets that 8th
But first things first: 106th

#JapaneseGP 🇯🇵 | Lewis Hamilton says he’s had a “change of attitude,” after a difficult 2025: “[I’m] Just not letting all the BS that surrounds me coming out of people's mouths get in the way of knowing who I am and what I'm able to do. Hopefully you saw that in the last two races, but particularly the last race.” “I'll continue to try and show up and show that for the rest of the year.” “I’ve not lost what I've had, and regardless if some of you or people who write that, I'll continue to show up and I'm training harder than ever.” “I was in Tokyo between this race and the last race, I ran, like, 100km. I know that none of the drivers I'm racing against have trained as hard as I have and given it what I have, especially at my age as well. The commitment is there more than ever and I dedicate absolutely everything I have now to this challenge and to the target that I have.”
