@Tom97___ Agreed on the tyres, don’t know why they’ve made them harder this year. Personally I’d bin the hard and bring 2 compounds a weekend.

F1 is in a weird place for me at the moment. I've given it 3 races to gather some thoughts and I've got really mixed feelings. I'm leaning towards these regulations being negative on a 60/40 split (I'm close to 50/50). 1️⃣🟢 The racing has improved. We're getting far more overtakes and that makes the races easier to watch. More overtakes is never a bad thing! 2️⃣🟡 However, I can't shake off the thought, the methods of those overtakes we see go against what F1 stands for. 3️⃣🟡 Also, Tyres mean very little in race strategies in 2026 which is a shame, as the Hybrid is the protagonist. If they had equal importance, F1 would be a strategic chess match! 4️⃣🔴 The biggest gripe for me is Qualifying. Regardless of the hybrid/combustion split, F1 cars should be able to go 'Flat Out' for at least 1 Hot Lap, and that isn't the case in 2026.

@R0thmansEra Feel like I’m going crazy reading everyone’s comments. Just because F1 drivers have been let get away with late moves before doesn’t mean they weren’t dangerous. Stewards have been too lax on driving standards for years. If Amateur drivers can handle it in multi-class, so can F1.

HE'S MOVED ON A STRAIGHT WITH THAT SPEED DIFFERENCE AND YOU'RE NOT FOCUSING ON THE DRIVER?!?!?!

Hope Oli isn’t too hurt. People will want to blame the regs, but we were all watching the NLS last week which has similar closing speeds, and that’s with mostly amateur drivers! It’s a driver awareness issue.

Another great race. 3/3 so far, and that’s with the mercy getting lucky with a SC I. Two of them. Quali is shit obviously but I dunno how you can’t enjoy the races. #JapaneseGP #F1

@Unpaid1ntern It seems simple enough to me, they just need to adjust the maximum battery rate track by track so it lasts longer. I think getting the teams (particularly Mercedes) to agree to this is the issue.

I have full faith in Formula One Management and the FIA to fix the issues with these new regulations.

I fear we are in ball don’t lie territory. #COYBIG

Greatest Six Nations ever. I should’ve known not to trust on the English.

Obviously Ferrari are still Ferrari - not splitting under that VSC was crazy

Quali needs improving, but I think these regs will be good. Australia is a bit of an odd track, so some of that will fix itself. Don’t think we’ll see 2014 dominance from Mercedes either. #AusGP

What on earth is happening in Murrayfield

Like this isn’t even a particularly great intro and it’s so clear of the new one.

Aside from how shit of a match the music is for the vibe, the sky intros are so much worse with CGI than when they used to use real compilations.

The UK desperately needs to get rid of FPTP.

Brian Kerr on the money as per usual.

You do not hate the billionaires enough.

Possession of the ball was contested 6 times yesterday. The broncos got it back 5 of those times. Thats football. You’ve got to live with the bounces.

A lot of analysis of the Bills’ failure to win a superbowl on the timeline today. They’ve been very very good. But to win a championship you need the ball to bounce your way. It hasn’t yet for the Bills. I don’t think there’s anything more to it than that.

They’ve taken a lot of (entirely deserved) shit for their strategy decisions over the last few seasons, especially lat week, but McLaren got it spot on today. Maximised Lando’s chance of finishing top 3, and Oscar p1.

Congrats @LandoNorris . World Champion!! #F1
