why do you want Oscar to fail 
At least he's not an entitled little shit like Norris.
I could not care less about the drivers personality off the track 😂
All I care about is how they move the cars in Quali and the GP
?
I'm not explaining why again.
I've said my piece on him multiple times as a former Norris fan.
I've never seen it lol
Why would I be farming reactions
Im jus saying its actually getting to be hilarious how much of a joke mclaren is
even when everything is set up for them they don’t win
Bros trynna ragebait on a Monday
Fr
Or is it possibly the fact that... idk... Max is just a faster driver? But no nvm that wouldn't be rage bait
They've won 2 races out of 3 so far, and podiumed in all 3
well to be fair the car is kinda wild
Yes this is precisely what it is lol
but no they arent terrible drivers, oscar better tho ngl
they’re not terrible drivers im just saying compared to max
I think it depends. Lando is faster some days, Oscar is faster others
liek it actually becomes embarrassing when max is in the equation
Lando is definitely better at quali
yea, just to me it feels like lando is in his prime rn and oscar definitely isnt yet
Max is always in the equation lmfao
Literally the current world champion and the only world champion for nearly half a decade
True
Oscar is a more long term investment
Tbf, the redbull in Max's hands is just kinda unstoppable when he gets pace and some questionable blocking
Max is one of the hardest if not the hardest driver to overtake because of his driving style
yeah, hes just making sure red bull gets their moneys worth out of him i guess
he gets paid like 2 million per race technically
Yea
this is mclarens year to win wdc if they don’t that might be the funniest thing ever
I'm sure McLaren will win WCC, WDC is so up in the air I couldn't even take a guess rn
Max still start running away with it starting in Saudi
Until McLaren pushes more development
Max Verstappen
It already started in suzuka
the thing is it shouldn’t be
because if max was on mclaren the wdc wouldn’t be up in the air at all
yea but also they just have such a rocket ship
Nah I don't think he'll win Bahrain
After week 5 and the car gets adjusted max will run away with it. Yuki likes sharp noses and oversteer too I figure when they adjust the car Yuki will be up there able to help max and it's just gonna snowball
Probably not, but he will finish a close second to lewis and beat out lando for points, taking the lead in the wdc race
why beat out Lando
what
he only got that close because the cold track kept his tires alive
the heat of Bahrain and Saudi are going to melt the fuck out of RB's tires
The McLarens too good with tires and the tracks flat
I doubt they can even get a podium.
He's already beating the rest, only lando is above him, and only by a point
Ferrari 44
I wonder if there will be a puncture in Bahrain
Ferrari 4+4 cause this mf only finishes P8 on race day
I heard they're going to try and puncture Oscar's hopes and dreams for being a consistent race winner
He won't care though
Lewis p1
Max p2
Oscar p3
He put hadjar on p8 in suzuka, he's done with all that
Then why would Lewis win the race
Must think it's a sprint weekend or something
He performs well on the middle eastern tracks🤷♂️
Fr
His rookie replacement put him in p7
Talking about Hamilton wins Bahrain 😂
Hes never driven them in a Ferrari on full pace
He's gonna
With or without k1
I think just really bad tire wear for some of the teams.
Ferrari performed well in sakhir during pre season
i don’t see how u can realistically say that Lewis is ever beating max or either mclaren this entire season
EiGhT TiMe!
I don't put it past Ferrari engineers to try and ruin the experience but it's Monday and I'm a delusional Ferrari fan who is up way past his bedtime, I'm going with Hamilton on p1
Put Lewis back in the W11 for Bahrain
Goodnight
You mean p11?
wild take: Kimi deserved DOTD in Suzuka
nop
That's wild
what did Yuki do on Sunday?
emphasis on Sunday, because DOTD is all about the race lol
Nothing
Well, tamed the red bull to an extent and was born in japan if it matters to dotd
When dose the Bahrain server come?
don't get me wrong, RBR did the right thing by swapping the drivers
but I think there was a lot of overblown hype
especially after the free practices
those are a good sign, though. I'm sure he will be able to do great things
interesting chart
Where did you find this?
Suzuka has become a New Monaco, Said Carlos Sainz https://x.com/autosport/status/1909185642124235217?t=UNl6C7wLsH-HI9_JroAxzg&s=19
still no rate the gp.... woooow
But i understand why you think that @sullen flax
The McLaren drivers are great drivers, but they're going up against a 4 time world champion, arguably the best driver this sport has ever seen
it's updated
Lando is great but he still has things to learn and he probably has already reached his skill ceiling, meanwhile Oscar is still pretty fresh and has a lot more to learn
They have the fastest car but they're going up against a monster with a good car
Ofc it's not going to be easy for them
Tbh
Lando and Piastri form a better duo than Lewis and Alonso would nowadays
True, but those two in that McLaren would destroy everybody else
Piastri honestly looks really good
The way they destroyed each other in 2007? 
Let him cook
It's been a long time, they're over it (maybe)
If they want to steal the WDC from Max, it looks like it has to be Piastri. But that's my overreaction from 3 races lol
Yeah Lando/Piastri best finish in Bahrain is 4th. So should be a good test for them
Fernando is NOT over that
Let's be real, neither of them are lmao
Name any Italian you Team know

@unborn lava
Oh, I forgot Italians from the feeders.
But I think that's still a decent enough list from the ones that came into my mind.
Smh cmon
Leonardo Da Vinci
There a lot of Famous Italian
Another one that just came to my mind, Valentino Rossi.
are the laps that drivers pit excluded?
Giulio Cesare. (Julius Caesar)
This is whole average in terms of how much they lost per lap
ok
hey i know that one
it's a ship
Giulio Cesare was one of three Conte di Cavour-class dreadnought battleships built for the Royal Italian Navy (Regia Marina) in the 1910s. Completed in 1914, she was little used and saw no combat during the First World War. The ship supported operations during the Corfu Incident in 1923 and spent much of the rest of the decade in reserve. She wa...
like fr
hell yeah
Ronnie Quintarelli
just realised I should've applied for mod here
then I would be able to see staff foot pics
😔
anyhow, fernando domination starts on the 12th
Najis
Ryo Hirakawa and Dino Beganovic will take part of Free Practice Session this Week in Bahrain
For Ryo, He'll be driving Ollie's Car
Would you though?
A foot fetish is an unspoken requirement to becoming a mod 
Hence why I never applied
Stop revealing our shit
stroll has 10 points lmao
Michael finally becomes Grandfather
where have you been
Wasn’t that last year?
No, It's yesterday
Meant that people saw hom at the wedding
Motorsports post this by Sunday actually
Or that he attended
Michael did attend even though his Family still kept his Condition in Limited
So Yeah, Yesterday he officially became a Grandfather
so sad
No shot
I feel the same
Ferrari 1-2 less go
Charles is too angry to get podium this year😭
He needs to take it easy on Ferrari
He's there forever, after all
Hahahaha
How many points did everyone get in fantasy? I got 164
I missed the first week so just never got into it😭
Sad
184
😔
Nice man
Aw man
I got 144,5 but the fantasy f1 league I'm in uses another app and not the official F1 app and I think points are slightly different
I had Ocon in my lineup because I thought he would have done better than Bearman 😭
I expect 155 Points for the next One
🫡
147
Nice
Are we still talking about this boring ah race 😭
It wasn't that bad
Yeah, I never said that you had to agree with me
Fair
Oh that that’s what you meant…
It usually is boring for Ferrari
Yeah
Like 9/10 times
Do u like Ferrari or just Charles
Really just Charles, I don’t really like anyone who’s at Ferrari
I don’t love their team management
So like if Charles transfered. Ud be fine?
Honestly, I’d be jumping for joy
Ferrari is his weakness
Like literally it’s his team that makes him do so bad
He is a good driver. Just in a bad car
I spent the entire race waiting for a battle between Max and Mclarens 😭
your mistake was hoping an F1 race would be entertaining
go in expecting nothing and occasionally you'll be pleasantly surprised
Fair enough 😅
Why bahrain
Because that's the next race.
Omkay
😭
*Expecting an entertaining race in Suzuka
Name 1 good race in Suzuka in recent years
Susuka is a aura farming track
It might have to do with the cars being too big but like i don't remember any good Suzuka race in the last 10 years so like are the cars really the issue here?
no i stand by what i said
Wasn't last year pretty good remember correctly their where quite alot of overtakes i think the longevity of the tires was the main issue this weekend.
Tyres and dirty air
Though dirty air doesn't have a permanent solution
Hopefully next year with the new regulations can make cars actually overtake each other
the midfield was decent
other than that the race was rather dull
The midfield this year also had some overtakes
It's the front that's having problems
but no one cares about the midfield 😔
You right, we want to see max and the McLarens beat the shit out of each other man
Where that shit at? I need it
That's F1 for you.
Watch the next two races being entertaining
Didn't Mclaren have insane race pace in Bahrain testing so i doubt their will be fight for the win this weekend. But DIno will drive in FP1 and F2 and F3 should be interesting.
A fight for the podium would be entertaining
considering its most tracks, yes its the cars
Also the McLaren drivers might fight for the win
Say that to Brazil
"most tracks"
Most tracks, i think the tracks are the problem tbh, yeah the cars need to be smaller and are getting smaller but what if even after that the races in those tracks keeps being boring
Who are you going to blame?
some tracks may not be fit, but the main reason is 100% the cars racing on tracks not designed for them
That was mainly due to weather most F1 races are pretty meh in dry condition especially when tires last for way to long.
2019 was good
2021 2022 2023
the cars still because if its only f1 doing bad on those tracks, then it's very much more than a track issue
suzuka in particular sucks with F1 because the cars can take basically the entire thing flat out and theres no hard braking zones long enough to get a pass done
- Aus cant overtake
- China 50/50
- Suzuka bore fest
- Bahrain alright but eh
- Jeddah - : |
- Miami (Idk cause I never watch it)
- Imola - normally boring
- monaco - :|
- catalunya 100% boring
- canada sometimes
- austria sure
- spa - very boring
- hungary - weather biased
thats just a few
You forgot COTA where you can overtake
bring me back to the alonso days of taking 130r
Man then next year that shit is going to be worse because like the cars are going to be even faster in a straight line
for 1 straight
Cota normally produces great racing tbh
their straightline speed isnt the roblem
its the cornering and corners like 130r being able to be flat out when before it wasent (depending on how brave you are)
Its because F1 is engineering sport as it should be that what makes stand out from the other racing series but it also make racing worse since their performance gaps between the car although right now its pretty close between all teams apart from Mclaren but their drivers ain't good enough to maximize their package.
if you can reduce downforce and keep the regs nerfed while giving the cars worse braking efficiency, you'll get better racing i guarantee it
and slim down to before 2017
but you leave the regs as they are and suddenly the racing becomes shit again
like 2022 had much better racing compared to 2021, but then it quickly went downhill
Man that's going to be a problem because they just added some downforce back to the 2026 regulations
they seem to be overcomplicating it a lot from my armchair perspective
I just hope it makes for some entertaining seasons
Because from a technical point of view, these regs are dumb as fuck
I will say this tho there is more to racing then just overtaking
cars are to wide on these tracks, they are able corner at increased speeds easier, following cars ahead is horrible with the dirty air recently.
which yeah sure engineering series will have worse racing than spec series, but then you've got motogp which even in this horrid aero era, still manages to bring banger races relatively often (maybe not this year thanks to marc's existence and martin's injury)
the strategies suck most of the time too
Yeah, but when you cant even follow the car ahead,
ferrari master🅱️lan
2 Marquez
Through goes….
either the tyres are too fragile and die if you push them, or they are too robust and nothing happens because everyones got similar tyre wear and the race ends up a one stop
Well when you have cars that are really good on their tires you hardly have to stop
Through goes…
A. Max Verstappen
B. Lance Stroll
C. Oliver Bearman
D. Hamilton
thats due to motogp preformance gap being small, and driver skill (expect daddy marquez) and that bikes dont have the issues wide f1 cars have.
Shit just makes no sense, i just hope the 2030 regulations or whatever they cooking over there actually makes sense from a technical point of view
Marquez just casually chilling behind his brother because why not when he could easily be far ahead
Through goes…
A. Max Verstappen
B. Lance Stroll
C. Oliver Bearman
D. Hamilton
but nowadays in f1 the gap is very small as well, and the gaps with MotoGP are helped by the fact that satellite teams arent royally screwed over anymore
I want to wsay lance stroll, but the correct awnser is d
and i say small relatively speaking
because just a few years ago you'd have the top 6 in quali be within 6 tenths of each other and the the guy in P7 is over a second slower
How did you know🤯
lance stroll is king
No Charles is king
not at baku
And Hamilton
or monaco (3/4)
He is
how many times has he had problems there
Like 1827262526 times
even in his rookie year he dnfed
Ye but I was joking man
Like don't get me wrong, i like the 2026 chassis, and active aero seems like a really interesting idea, I'm open to it, and then you get to the engine and... What the actual fuck?
Back in the seb hamilton era, ferrari and mercedes were quite close althogh merc did have the advantage throughout the year, and the redbull wasent far behind, but the midfield was far behind
Do we have any Swedish people here?
Man i hate swedish people (this is a joke)
I gotta give props to williams and james idkhislastname turning around that williams from f2 level slow to front of the "mid"field
yeah 2018 he has brake failure, 2019 he destroys his floor from an overly ambitious move into rascasse, 2020 covid, 2021 he has a driveshaft failure from his quali crash, 2022 strategia master🅱️lan
I have Swedish fish
Then finally he won it
Did you take my fish😡
Using electricity to power an engine that uses fuel, this shit is dumb as fuck tbh.
alex jacques pulling out his best football commentary for that win too
Wdym using electricity to power an engine
Why? It’s a hybrid. Lol
The joke writes itself bruh
its refered as a Power unit for a reason
am I the only one who dislikes alex jacques/prefers crofty (no hate to him)
You like crofty? Bro go to jail
Crofty has great one liners, but I think he's gotten worse overall over the years
I can’t stand crofty he is so stuck up
Alex Jacques is goated
some of the best ever arguably, but his overall commentary just feels like 90% of it is filler
Tbh, its probably more of im used to crofty and im used to him being the f2 commentator
Whoever disagrees will go to Alcatraz with Nikita mazepin
Plus F1TV commentators actually seem to like each other
they've got a talented crew
Or least have chemistry
when crofty and brundle are commentating battles they go hand in hand, great chemistry in that aspect, but it does seem like brundle ignores or just goes with whatever crofty says when it comes to literally anything else on the broadcast lol
Crofty treats his partners like crap. The dude needs to eat a humble pie
Martin is like that one grandpa with alot of experience
I mean him and brundle are good, but sometimes villenuerve is annoying
Because Brundle just does what Crofty always wants
They don't even sell those in Sweden so idk what it comes from.
F1TV has Laura so case closed
It came from sweden.
They don't
Just off the wiki, not saying I know
- came from a swedish brand malaco, and
- Gott & Blandat whatever that is, has swedish fish in it among other stuff
- and I think the US version is not the same as the swedish version
Yeah but isn't the same thing as they sell outside of Sweden.
fair enough
anyway, what will happen at bahrain
- banger of a race
- snooze fest
- lance stroll winning
So 5 confirmed rookies for FP1 already https://www.williamsf1.com/posts/4832daa8-c14a-4c30-88c6-2d9d1b1691c2/luke-browning-bahrain-fp1-session?cid=sm_twitter_race_040825
who are the other 4?
Ferrari Dino Beganovic 🇸🇪
Mercedes Fredrik Vesti🇩🇰
Aston Martin Felipe Drugovish🇧🇷
HAAS Ryo Hirakawa🇯🇵
Is kimi or russell out for fp1
Russell
I hoped that was the case
I like how Ryo Hirakawa took FP1 opportunity from Alpine and then just left for HAAS 😅
same for Bortoleto and Hadjar
for Doohan only Melbourne
And well, Suzuka where Hirakawa was in his car.
Of course Sky Germany commentators were too stupid to understand China FP1 doesn't count for Doohan.
That's the treatment Alpine deserves.
that somes similar to something else ;\ oscar
Just that Hirakawa even managed to fool them into a FP1 before saying fuck you to them.
Oscar got them to invest into his entire career just to dip when they actually needed him
A real chad
Bottom line: Alpine's dumb
Because a few papers werent signed
my absolute fav
Mercedes Valtteri Bottas 🇫🇮
Not a rookie
?
Exactly
Honestly I wonder why anyone would choose Alpine’s junior program
because any academy is better than no academy
guys guys we are getting a ferrari 1-2 this weekend trust
🔈 Copy. 
More like Ferrari P12 tbh
Bahrain is going to be pain with a car that has no rear end
Unless you have stupid amount of funding you can't really choose an academy they pick you in first place.
If the Flying Dutchman gets into a slow Ferrari or Sauber car, can he be fast?
They have a new upgrade package for Bahrain tho
Ferrari is slow??
isn't it like 4. fastest
think it’s solidified
4th maybe even 5th fastest car rn
fighting with fucking williams
how fast is red bull fr
they have a fast car tbh, they're just really unlucky lol
like 3rd?
the way I see it, they’re behind mclaren
Ferrari isn't much slower then RBR so yes
Red Bull too, but only in the hands of Verstappen's teammates in RBR and Racing Bulls. RBR is only fast in Verstappen's hands.
is Mercedes considered faster?
Oh fair
Mclaren is clearly the best car, Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari are in the same league so it's hard to tell
ferraris great but leclerc needs to find a new team sooner or later because honestly he deserves better
I don't really see where he could go tbh
oh alright
faster than ferrari
mercedes could be an option
nah, just more consistent
if they're fast is not by much
theres no way verstappen would leave red bull honestly
When ferrari figures out how to setup their car, they'll be solid second best car
Leclerc said he tested some setup stuff this weekend and liked the result
they’re more consistent because they have a better car. ferrari is dealing with a multitude of things including that rear part of the car
you never know
If Toto replaces Russell it will be Verstappen he has tried to sign him since 2014.
Like I said, it's hard to tell, and I still think Ferrari has a best car overall, they just don't know how to extract 100% of it yet
didnt toto once said he will leave atp? 😭
and also Lewis still needs to adapt to the car
I can see it happening Red Bull future doen't really look promising the only think they have is Verstappen without him they would be midfield team.
He’s progressing
Grabbed a sprint pole and a win
true
on his second weekend too
hes 40 dawg 😭
the speed is there
we are glad to see him atleast continue
Toto would do everything to get Verstappen to switch.
Only thing that stopped him before was Hamilton
true
he will most likely replace kimi to get verstappen in unless he wants to have a great future he keeps kimi and puts on verstappen
I don't see him replacing kimi
doesn't make much sense bring a driver to your long term project and replace him
Alonso is 43 and his speed is still there
Nah he ain't replacing Kimi that his golden boy.
We saw that in 23
I think its more plausible if Max replaced Russel
watch redbull steal away kimi from them to get verstappen even though its impossible
True
Toto will probably want Kimi to learn whatever Max has to teach too
I dont se why Kimi would want to go to Red Bull at all if he would switch it would be Ferrari.
kimi honestly yea
because hes italian at the same time
and would gain alot of fans
Let's hope on the Ferrari master🅱️lan
But Ferrari already has Ollie
If max verstappen goes to Mercedes it dosent mean that i would stop supporting redbull tho
redbull has been my favorite team ever since i was a child
Kimi is more promising and Italian
which many people would do atp ^
Kimi originally wanted to go with Ferrari but got rejected since he was to young 😂
Kimi who?
I don't see why they would threw away all the investment they did on Ollie tbh
Antonelii
maybe if Kimi and Ollie were team mates
Kimi Antonelli 💚
but that's basically impossible
To their junior team?
Yeah\
I'm just saying that they would most likely take Antonelli before Bearman but i think Antonelli will stay loyal to Mercedes for the first couple of seasons.
I just want Max to replace Leclerc on Ferrari 😭
imagine Max and Lewis as team mates
and having to deal with ferrari strategy
would be amazing
Yeah
I think Bearman is their priority at the moment but I see why they would have eyes on Kimi
there's no shot that max would ever replace leclerc at ferrari
I know, just joking
At this point I don't see anyone replacing Leclerc
leclerc is there forever, he's synonymous with ferrari
exactly
He's the second driver I most associate with Ferrari
the first being schumi obviously
FERARRI 1-2 HERE
It’s McLaren
Then both
both counts
Both is good
Racingbulls tbh
they fucked over lawson real bad last race
And tsunoda the race before
Only 90?
Why not 1 hour
DAMN THAT TO
BTW THE FLOOR UPGRADES ARE PENDING
DDW
DW
WERE WINNING
Wdym by that
there mught be floor upgrades
Might?
i expect a crash to happen in bahrain
It’s basically confirmed
And bortoleto p2
Lewis get both places 💀
NICE
if he gets p1 they'll bring him back to RBR
And he’ll qualify p20 again
dawg im playing f1 23 because cant afford to get f1 25 yet
It’s not even out
WAIT CAN WE SWEAR
well pre order
.........
DAMN THATS CRAZY
ANYWAYS LEWIS FOR THE WDC THIS YEAR
TRSUT
yes
most sane member of team lh
A RB21 with a Yellow T-Cam is every drivers greatest fear
You need to leave some capital letters for the rest of us lmao
I think Liam Lawson will be kicked out of rb after this year
I agree
doesn't make sense for them to keep him
If u don't perform at Red Bull there's no point in staying at Toro Rosso
OH NICE
Will they keep yuki on the first team?
Who will they fill the second rb seat?
For the sake of Hadjar they gotta keep him at RB
he had a good weekend overall
He did way better than Lawson
he was able to stay close to max during the free practices
And q1
The car was not a good car and only meant for max (even max struggled with it)
But yuki held his own
once Yuki adapts he will at least be constantly fighting for points I believe
if perez comes back
and there's always hope Red Bull will figure out how to fix the car
not likely but the chance is never 0
I hope cadillac signs him
I don't know much about drivers outside f1 tbh, so I don't think I'm able to predict who Cadillac will sign
Is audi coming in 2026?
I just hope to see Perez again, I really like him 😭
yeah
Yeah there has been discussions
Sauber will become audi
I hope kvyat came aswell..
Yes sauber will become Audi and keep bortoleto and Hulkenberg
I didn't really liked him a lot back when he was on the grid
not that I disliked him
Finally no ugly kick terror anymore 😭
I mean
His failure started when he was replaced with max
yo yuki did so well at suzuka i feel like he'll be in the points for bahrain this weekend
And his wife left him..
yeah like
outside the personal life part
he kinda deserved it tbh 😔
I don’t think the personal life had anything to do with it

Alright just checking something
Engine meeting on Friday at Bahrain could lead to a different ratio of combustion/electrical power for the 2026 hybrid PUs. Right now they are targeted at a split of 55/45. Some manufacturers prefer 70/30 or 80/20 at least at the beginning.
AMuS (German): https://t.co/926jkDSTcN
prob
Fr man
he took out his team mate on the first lap at Silverstone
Idk why they're tackling this issue now but better late than never i guess. (These regs are a mess bro)
also I just checked, that year he made an impressive amount of 5 points. Meanwhile his team-mate did almost 11 times that.
Will Drugovich replace Alonso in Bahrain? Yay! (I'm Paraguayan/Brazilian)
Only in FP1 unfortunately 😔
Why?
I still don't know the reasons, but Drugovich will train in FP1.
all the teams have to let one rookie drive in a free pratice
at least once during the season I guess
thought it was during the race
oh
Things have changed since they first came up with the engine rules. The world isn’t going electric as quickly as the Fia predicted
wdym
Yeah
Anyway 80/20 is ideal
They're split on it lol
Because they have the best engines
fuck going electric, give me disgusting polluting v10's
Fortunately were not going too much electric

give me v10s or I boycott McLaren
You're going to have to wait until 2028-2030 for that Chief
but were getting "zed mode"
@sleek cloak you have all caps on
No, they're getting lighter
It's not but it looks dumb
Who the fuck is rick
Like he knows shit anyway, i enjoy his content but idk if he knows everything lol
All caps and typos
I don't think but i hope
Same with Oscar
Brother i was on a laptop and it's not that hard to type
No
It can go to anyone, can't say for sure, but rn it's between the McLarens and max
Kimi waiting for Max and the McLarens to wreck like 
I mean they're currently making changes (very late but they are) for the better
Lol
Like adding a bit more downforce to the cars
also Max and the McLarens sounds like a bad sitcom
And discussing about the combustion/electrical power split
Manufactures are talking about 70/30 split
Meaning more combustion less electrical power
Maybe even 80/20
what is it now? 90/10?
Engine meeting on Friday at Bahrain could lead to a different ratio of combustion/electrical power for the 2026 hybrid PUs. Right now they are targeted at a split of 55/45. Some manufacturers prefer 70/30 or 80/20 at least at the beginning.
AMuS (German): https://t.co/926jkDSTcN
It's 55/45
no i mean in the current cars. are they 55/45 this season?
Idk
ah
I don't remember
But if manufactures want 70/30 or 80/20, it would be a huge improvement
Meaning the batteries won't be that big = less weight
from what i understand they're changing from MGU-H (heat) to MGU-K (Kinetic) meaning the system can expend and regain electric power much more efficiently. So I guess you could have smaller batteries if the whole system is more effective?
Yes
so i guess those splits make sense.
I mean i hate that they're making these changes so late but like, if it aims to improve these regs im not against it
But it just shows how bad these regs are being handled if they're not 100% decided on what to do
I think 70/30 is the ideal
but I'm more concerned with the active aero
I think it will be fine, idk if there's a genuine problem with
It's like Drs, but on the front wing and usable in every straight
I hate that FIA made DRS become basically the only way for drivers to overtake
And available at all times
I fear it will only become worse
How?
In 2026, the cars will have a new overtaking method.
THE MOM SYSTEM
but thinking about it, maybe it will make the battles batter
watching the Japanese GP I could only think why they didn't put a drs zone before the 130r
I understand it's because of safety reasons
That's what i was questioning too
but tbh, those are the 20 best drivers in the world, they know what they're doing
"Kimi, use your MOM to overtake the car ahead"
they should put a DRS zone before 130r and drivers decide if they're brave enough to make it full throttle like they do without drs
I remember IndyCar has push-to-pass too. As its rear wings have no DRS.
It's a good solution
I thought that push-to-pass was more similar to the overtake mode
It is tbh
Push to pass gives a boost in speed to allow the car to overtake.
With the new hybrid system in indycar it now unlocks more battery power I believe
Push-to-pass in IndyCar is most often used to overtake and defend against a backmarker at the same time, and it is contradictory to defend against a backmarker because of the blue flag rule.
But in 2026 the mom (hah) is like ers on steroids might as well just be push to pass
I was gonna ask about that
It also kinda works like drs
Indycar has blue flags now?
Indy doesn't have the blue flag rule?
ferrari 1 2 in bahrain
In the way that it becomes available if you have a car ahead in a certain distance
please
But it's better than drs because you can use it anywhere on the track like ers
yeah, one of them will definitely end on p12 🙏
Btw mom stands for manual override system
Won't they restrict it like with the DRS in qualifying in 2011?
like, you were allowed to open DRS anywhere during qualifying
besides monaco tunnel
and other spot that I don't remember now
We'll have to see about that
maybe before 130r
Haven't seen any information about it
Mom is such a bad name lol
It's hilarious though
I activated your mom
Time to activate my mom to pass this fool
"Mom doesn't work"
It's literally just push to pass
btw
the mom will open only the front wing or the rear wing too?
like
they can always open the front wing but only open the rear on specific spots
to be fair the new active aero is still effectively drs
we just dont like that name I guess
But everyone can use it
And I don't really understand why people dislike DRS tbh
I have my problems with it but
People act like it ruined f1
I mean is it really, it's not the feature that's going to be used to pass another car
This is concerning
https://x.com/Miharunanaa/status/1908869688253112673
It's something that's just kinda there
In 10 years people will be talking about how much they hate mom too
They really are
"man, their mom sucks"
actually, they're really just making it more powerful
but if all can use it whenever that doesnt matter
Yeah that's how it's different
I just hope that the car using mom doesn't get much faster, my main problem with drs is that it allows overtakes but ruins fights for position
I hope mom doesn't do the same thing
do we know what the regs for deploying yo momma are?
I mean it kinda is like drs and ers mixed together
so car in front within a certain time frame?
It's faster than ers but it can only be used if a car is ahead in a certain distance
but just to be clear, mom is another name for overtake mode right? (A very bad one)
Kinda, idk if normal ers is still there, (probably isn't)
It's just more powerful making it the main drs replacement
ah mom sorta works like attack mode in formula e
Imo it's more like push to pass
🗣️ Bahrain is the real season opener for Ferrari 🤌
If you look at how they describe it
they're kind of 2 sides of the same medal
you're within a certain timeframe of the driver ahead, you get extra power you can deploy how you want for the next lap
so it's like an limited overtake mode I believe
Yes
that shit is confusing as fuck mate 😭
They buffed it but made it limited
It is tbh at first
But I'm sure we'll understand it eventually
just make the cars simple like in the 90s is not that hard
Bono I'm using my mom
btw, do we have any comparison between the effectiveness of DRS compared to F duct?
just cus I'm curious about it
since DRS only exists because of the F duct
Drs is way more powerful
Do we all agree that Max is a top 3 driver of all time
I think its more fair if we wait for his retirement to say it tbh
unless like, he gets 8 titles, but thats still unlikely
what we talking about here
Behind Alonso ofc
what I'm sure at the moment is that he's the best four time world champion

fact
.
And who says Alonso wasn’t 1 😭
PRAYING 🙏
The old mclaren logo 💀
to me car order rn for top 5 is
mclaren
merc
ferrari
rbr
vcarb
delulu with lulu
me remembering the massive debate in f1 gen regarding this:
Top 4
Williams or haas should be 5
I can see Albon at 5
he forgot about this server after this
Lot of people doubted Max would hold the lead
little did they know
Dirty air is king
didnt you also say Max wouldn't win Suzuka 🤔
someone pull the receipts
but i didnt bet on anything
Vista Jet is Charles Flight to Bahrain https://fixupx.com/Charles_Leclerc/status/1909681487655457120?t=uNJeCq60_U-BNoqBaFLVsA&s=19
tbf they had a higher chance if they undercut
but it wouldve been riskier
whats funny is like
if mclaren in the mid/late season gets idk
caught for anything or for some reason had to change their car
kimi antonelli has a big chance at the wdc
i know its unlikely but
would be crazy
but max would also be in the way
whys the f1 game so bad
but considering how consistent merc is
which f1 game
24
bad in which terms
its always my fault when i dont crash into them
when they crash into me
"would" you get a pass this time
well
didnt really say lando
lol
also because i was half expecting lando to lock in and not mess up
which he did in the last 3 laps
badly
but it's about Max not winning
Sush
i will bet on this though
lol
bro is locking it in
(no)
would be the funniest thing ever if he had a car problem
engine issue idk
its been a bit since i saw any big mechanical failures in f1
like engine and uhh
mgu
gearbox
whatever else
bearman already broke everything in australia so it will never break again trust me
it was all part of the plan
the masterbearman
well
masterbearlan
idk i tried to mix masterplan with bearman
bestermlan
lmao
🅱️estermlan yeah
i didnt really check if binotto's strategy in sauber was bad or not
i mean its hard to see when you are fighting for p18
or p19
the master🅱️lan never fails
s🅱️inalla prevails
guess whos back
Back again
guess whos back
Back again
Bahhhhhrain
baaaaarain
yall think its gonna rain in buhrain again?
You can see the trauma
no
Real
super unlikely
bahdry
I love bahrain 🇧🇭

The Ferrari Experience, has traumatized hundreds of drivers. Charles Leclerc has lost half of his soul, Felipe Massa lost his hairline, Fernando Alonso gave us his stare of doom, Sebastian Vettel was never the same (also lost his hair), Carlos Sainz got severely betrayed and Lewi...
Ferrari strategys
It's okay, this year. They are messing up at the start to get it out of the way.
World champions ✓
Yellow helmet ✓
Ferrari ✓
And they both look like they're in agony
welcome to scuderia ferrari
HP
Real
tbf its very rare that a ferrari driver doesnt look like they’re in agony
Or just straight up depressed
i fear they wont get it out of the way, it can always get worse
i’m still delusional enough to believe in a ferrari 1-2 this weekend tho
Nah Yukis gonna win trust
the beauty of being a ferrari fan is endless and so is the disappointment
(I'm delusional too)
better than lando winning imo (no offense to the lando fans)
ferrari fans 🤝 yuki fans when it comes to being delusional
i didnt notcie that ur a lando fan until i after i sent it sorry 😔😔
Except Yuki is actually probably gonna have some result
hopefully
I am I just don't have his role up cause it covers yukis
But idc too much lol
yhhhh i regret adding max for the same reason
Everyone's allowed to an opinion
but like eh idrc
I also like the Benetton color too much to cover it with McLaren or Redbull
The redbull blue is just meh imo
yhhhhh i agree
And I feel like everyone has the mclaren color
i like ferrari red tho so its alright
Yea the Ferrari red is nice
I had it for a bit before they moved mclaren above ferrari
hahahaha yh its lowkey endless but same w ferrari red so i cant rlly xomplain
True
ahhhh fair enough
And then there's Cosmic with green
i feel bad my cousin went from supporting red bull to ferrari cause of me 😔
he went from happiness to endless disappointment
Family depression woohoo 
i havent seen that one i dont think
frrr
Being a red bull fan is weird, it's better to be a max fan
yhhhh i agree
Alright imma go eat
ooo enjoy!
unfortunately for me my dad was a ferrari fan w schumacher was there so he passed that down to me 😔
Exactly how I ended up here😂
I was born into the tifosidom
and it feels silly to change loyalties now
but idk why my cousin changed the team he supports cause his father is a red bull fan or just an alonso fan, im not too sure
His dad sounds like a bandwagon, no offense😛
My dad changes who he supports every two weeks and then judges me for being an AM fan consistently 🙄
yooo its bahrain gp channel now
or a yuki fan
How is that weird
Everybody would know u are max fan I u told them u are a redbull fan ofc
Like the person above said, you might just be a yuki fan lol
Or over the years, a checo fan
We know they exist
Liam fans?😭
Who is a Yuki fan anyway?
The yuki fans are yuki fans
I guess
They showed up for their guy for Suzuka
I think he signed a 3 year deal but who really knows, he could be gone by 2026 probably
Contracts aren't as binding as they used to be, and where there's money and a will, there's a way
Ferrari mostly uses 1 year contracts with extention if he preforms well
It's like being a fan of 🪖 
I thought this meant a fan of the army for one second, thought you might be a college football fan 😛
Yeah no one likes Marko Helmut right now and I don't see it changing anytime soon
Between Helmut and Horner, the ick factor is immense
