@dani_juncadella Planet F1 is very unserious.

- Took him 2 laps to be on pace on Friday. - Pole by some margin. - Drove a full stint within inches of the leader (one of the best GT3 drivers in the NBR) & got past last lap. - Sent it left, right, center like a maniac in traffic. I think you should sit this one out 👍

@jameypricephoto @JoeyBarnes85 This is what I want my answer to be. The really bad part in terms of sportscar racing is that not all manufacturers/teams are equal in terms of performance per dollar. They are so far away that maybe two would survive without BoP and back to LMP1. We can dream, I guess...

@JoeyBarnes85 Cost cap

There's a question to be had for what people would prefer to have in a racing series nowadays if they were forced to pick one: A spec series, a cost cap, or balance of performance

@wilmotscore Classic driver profile pic response.

It's just funny at this point how these people go from F1 to a series that has more electrical assistance systems than F1 and claim it's pure racing

@RyCamN7 @jameypricephoto It happens in F1 also. Not sure what the discussion is but it's been fun.

@brrrake @jameypricephoto Back to the comparison though you see that in Endurance racing all the time. Gaps will grow to 5 seconds then come down to under a second the grow again all just cause drivers adjusting pace based on their metrics and goals.

📣 F1’s battery management racing is NOT the same thing as endurance racing / sportscar racing. Thanks for coming to my Tedtalk.

@VerstappenFacho @jameypricephoto .... It is absolutely impacted by the drivers demand to spend or recover energy.

@jameypricephoto F1's battery managament in these regulations isn't even done by the driver, it's done by a software, it's not even comparable to Formula E because there the driver matters

@RyCamN7 @jameypricephoto I think a good tell of formula 1 is looking at lap times (fuel corrected or not) between single lap and race. F1 is never flat out in racing. And now it's that... Then huge lap by lap swings in performance/car potential based on the current state of charge. This is the bad part.

@jameypricephoto I don’t think anyone is saying they are exactly the same. It’s more that in endurance racing you very rarely are going “flat out” and not managing pace for something. Since everyone seems stuck on the “flat out” thing

@jameypricephoto I read that one from one of the commentators. Woof 💀😂

@MRFonX @jameypricephoto 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

@jameypricephoto endurance racing is not even racing its a test

@VanthoorLaurens @GearboxGirl

Bamber got hit behind the safety car!!! Laurens Vanthoor was behind him!

@Max33Verstappen @VerstappenCOM Nice work, lads!

Team 🙌

@LukeCrane88 Where do I vote on fanboost?

As chat is going to be crazy today during NLS2, any questions you may have please reply below to this tweet. I will keep an eye on it during the race.

@TheTHOMB This statement is "remove the 2026 F1 engine regulations"

Remove super clipping and the 2026 F1 regulations are an absolute win.

@kktg0313 LOL no

@brrrake Are you back or what?

I really don't think so. All it takes is opening more than a few laps and looking at all of the holes in the data. This is not new this year. The China telemetry available from qualifying is almost unusable compared to Melbourne.

@JRHouston20 If only it was obvious to the decision makers a few years ago... Oh waiiiiiit. 😂😭

Early F1 vibe: This rules set is awful. I used to think PU’s dominated championships before. It feels like the driver is even another extra step removed now.

@SJustsarah @EdSpencer99 Ohhhh this is going on the list! 🍻

@brrrake @EdSpencer99 If you ever see it anywhere, I can highly recommend Saltaire Blonde. Heaven in a pint glass! We had our work's do at their brewery tap at Xmas. #LocalBeer 🍺

Brew Dog sold (as if they hadn't sold out years ago). The only good thing they had was their bars and great local guest taps. Loads of the UK bars are shutting including my local. Bummer... It was fun while it lasted. 🫠

@EdSpencer99 To be fair. There's so much awesome British craft breweries whose most average beer was better than Brewdogs best beer. Cloud Water, Verdant, Northern Monk, Deya. And the list goes on. It just sucks because the MK Brewdog was a good place that always has food and decent taps

@brrrake That too. Yeah probably going to stick with Brooklyn Lager when one fancies it

@EdSpencer99 The datorz suggest people aren't drinking as much. Oh well. Back to a few pints of London pride now and then !

@brrrake Reasonable-tasting beer; shame the owner put craft beer in a bad light. Sadly, bar culture in the UK is on its back now and isn't likely to get better soon, with how much the prize of a pint is going up.

@NobleF1 The track record says it's gonna take a lot for this NOT to happen

FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem says “safety and wellbeing” will dictate whether forthcoming F1 and WEC races in the Middle East will go ahead.
