F1 2026 - Round 3 - Japan - Suzuka 🇯🇵

Proper racing from the Ferraris.

Dreadful race ruined even more by the safety car

Well yes the Mercedes will hammer every other car in a time trial but over taking essentially wasn’t possible due to battery overtaking

if you don’t like it stop watching lads. Or write a strongly worded letter. 5 weeks or so to next race there’ll be further improvements. Good to see mclaren back into the mix.

No Kimi you will not have the drink.

Im a Max fan, but it was good to see Stone Cold Oscar Piastri back..

I don’t generally put people on ignore except the weirdos in the Trump and Ukraine threads. Some people are just never happy. There was moaning last season and there’s moaning this season. The drivers might complain but there’s no way they are giving up their F1 seats just like you’ll keep watching.

one thing that these first 3 races has confirmed is that if you’re in a battle you lose significant lap time.

Antonelli would've won the race either way, but with all 5 cars behind him involved in battles, he deployed energy in all the right places and lapped quicker than everyone else. It’s an artificial advantage.

as Bernie said “if you touch a button on the steering wheel in the wrong place, you’re lapping slower”. Presumably that’s what caught out Russell when Hamilton went past him - even the commentary momentarily thought he had a problem

Gasly in the points again. He's having a great start to the season.
