F1 2026

This is going to be a Mercedes 1-2.

As good as the Ferraris are on the starts, the Mercedes race pace blows them out of the water

Like Mario kart that . Completely pointless racing when mercs can press a button on any straight and it wipes out any previous driving in the lap

 

[Big Jeff]

I got up to watch this and I feel the race is now over.

Verstappen with another terrible start

Verstappen with another terrible start

Seeing him suffer this year is beautiful

The starts are giving false sense of competition imo, never see an advantage from the lights like it but the Mercs are comfortable once they get clear of that from what we’ve seen so far

 

[Toronado]

At least 2 races have been cancelled while the mercedes engine has that incredible advantage ! That overtake from George was ridiculous

Hope Lewis is just trying a different tactic today or this could be a really boring next hour

Looks like the plan was to not blow their tyres fighting the Mercs and hope for some sort of opening later on if they can stay close enough.

Probably won’t work but there’s not much else they can do when there’s such a massive pace advantage for the Mercedes.

Safety car just as Verstappen comes out of pits

It’s like we’re back in 2018 again

These Ferraris are fantastic in the turns.

Just a shame that Mercedes straight line pace is so much better.

Even under the initial acceleration the Ferrari looks very quick but as soon as the merc is up to speed it just shoots off

 

[Dexter]

This f***ing class between this midfield lot.

 

[Toronado]

Looks like Lewis has a power problem now

 

[Dexter]

Hamilton is never getting that podium is he

 

[Beau Peep]

Norris's world champion aura has lasted about as long as Damon Hill's did in 1997.

 

[Maravilla]

This Ferrari battle is class

There are very obvious flaws with these new regs but there's been more entertainment in the opening 1 and a half races of this year than there was for 20 races last season.

 

[Beau Peep]

This has let Antonelli get miles ahead.

 

[Big Jeff]

This is still going to end up a Mercedes 1-2 but the Ferraris are putting on a good show.
George having a little cry because the red cars are better in the twisty bits.

Love it!
