@CxmeronCc If Max CHOSE to take Russells seat... And leave mid pack Russell begging for work... Max would say, they built a rocket. But this type of "racing"sucks

🗣️ Nelson Piquet jr: "Max wants to have the best car, right? If you ask Max, which one was more interesting? That year you won the championship in the last race or the one you won with five races to spare? (He'd say) No, the one with five races to spare. He wants, he wants all the races, right? It's natural for him to talk badly. If he were in the Mercedes car, he would be quiet, Quietly saying nothing. You can be absolutely sure of that." [Pelas Pistas Podcast] #F1

@adamcooperF1 @MercedesAMGF1 Just proved anybody can win in that Mercedes. Just like anybody would have won in last year's McLaren. Just like anybody would have won in lewis' 2014-2021 Mercedes

Kimi Antonelli's Shanghai win showed just how fast he is progressing - and proved that Toto Wolff and @MercedesAMGF1 were right to put their faith in him: roadandtrack.com/news/a70772948…

@FormulaRivista Not even close to true

🧐 BİLİYOR MUYDUNUZ? 2026 Sezonu başladığından beri, yarışlarda (sprint dahil) BÜTÜN TURLARI ilk 5'te tamamlayan TEK pilot: Sir Lewis Hamilton. ❤️‍🔥

@nlibrarymouse Lewis' only chance to catch Max was this disgusting move When this failed, Mercedes had Bottas cause a crash in Hungary To help even more, Max had a puncture in Baku And they still went to the last race tied. That's how badly Max dominated lewis with a slower car. FACT 😂 😂

Meanwhile Gabriel bortoleto suffered worse with 57g but came out fine under 24hrs after a check up so stop calling it a murder attempt ffs Max wanted to do his signature move-or-I-take-you-out-first-at-the-apex and Lewis was having none of it

@TorettoOffcl Another meaningless "record" How about "Most races with a Nose Ring?" "Most Wins when the temp is 27c"

Still breaking records, while TikTok experts act like F1 history began in 2016. 😭😭 #F1

Silverstone 2020: the day the fastest driver destroyed TWO fastest cars ever built: the Mercedes W11. Max Verstappen won while the W11 was over a second faster in qualifying. Max had no party mode. No DAS. Just pure driver talent and skill.

People want this regs btw

Próximo GP: 🇯🇵 Verstappen Suzuka 2025 TL1: P5 +0.52 TL2: P8 +0.56 TL3: P5 +0.53 Q1: P6 +0.25 Q2: P3 +0.35 Q3: 💥POLE💥-0.01 Melhor pole da carreira, que viraria vitória. Um dos tantos milagres com o 4° carro do grid. Único na história com 4 vitórias seguidas em Suzuka. #F1

@autosport Because the great drivers can't push these cars. So lewis is able to keep up

Why Lewis Hamilton looks back to his best in 2026 📈 autosport.com/f1/news/why-ha…

@amal_shura Lewis only technique is have the Constructors winning car and an extra 100 hp. These cars prevent great drivers from pushing more than mediocre drivers like lewis

Make-believe unfortunately, the corner entry is the same as it was pre-2022. Energy-wise, Lewis' technique of shortening the corner is more penalized than Max's technique which depends on early braking and gentle turn-in that gives you more time to charge the battery.

Still the youngest driver to benefit from human error ! 😈#F1xed #HumanErrorChampion #RedBullCheats #FiaCorrupt

@amal_shura Merc was P3 in 2022 Merc was P2 in 2023. Toto said Merc was fastest some races. Merc just didn't have any top drivers. Case. Closed.

Merc was so operationally dogshit 2022-2025, an absolute embarrassment to Formula 1. Lost half a dozen wins to amateur hour tyre choices, qualifying run plans, strategies and pit stops. Some might have forgotten but I never will.

Peter Windsor: "Everything that Charles used to do better than Lewis, you can't do with these cars."

Are there no self aware Lewis fans that are embarrassed by how it’s basically been confirmed now that he’s a car merchant?? This lot are LOUD

@ThisIsFormu1a1 And yet, lewis was beaten every race, and beaten 2 out of 3 by his teammate 😂

🚨| It's a different Lewis in 2026 — confident, fast and "almost unbeatable" according to Jacques Villeneuve. #scuderiaferrari #lewishamilton 🇬🇧 #formula1 #f12026 VIA: [PLANET F1]

@FormulaUR_ You don't get it Or maybe desperate to defend this car because 2 brits are in rockets that ANY driver would win in The cars are flat out, cruising side by side charging batteries. A great driver is unable to make the car faster. That's why slow drivers are suddenly relevant

This is where most driver coaches and performance engineers don’t see eye to eye with Windsor - and I’m inclined to agree. Racing cars in general - not limited to F1 - should never be so stiffly sprung that there is almost zero weight transfer whilst cornering. What Windsor is describing as “neutralising” is simply a return to sophisticated weight transfer - which should favour any racing driver born on Earth.

@DeviouSxTV @thef1diplomat Exactly

@thef1diplomat What part of this year is exciting not allow to defend hard in case the car super regens and throws its anchor out can’t race some one out the corner hard as they will have more power on entry too next corner

So the real question: would you rather have a more exciting qualifying? Or would you rather have more exciting races?

@thef1diplomat Exciting is NOT two cars unable to reach the limit, cruising side by side charging batteries.

@gurtyo_Gh0st It IS if the driver carries more speed through the turn and had higher exit speed It IS if the car is set up for low down force compared to the other car Max was right. Not everyone understands real racing

REAL racing is gaining 9 TENTHS in a single straight.

@AlexLacl The point is. All cars go through maxed out at the same speed. A great driver can't make a difference. That's why lewis is suddenly as fast as others

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 👍
