F1 2026

[I.am.Sam]

I know there have been a few winners this year which is great but every afternoon snooze this year has coincided with an F1 race. Not even joking.

yeah watch the 1st 10 laps and thats it

been like that for a while now

How tall is this oke

Ugo Ugochukwu. Remember that name lol. F3 Champion.

6'4 -6'5 according to Google.

Justin Wilson (RIP) is the tallest F1 driver in the modern era at 6'4. When Minardi was looking to replace Alex Yoong in 2002, Wilson was their first choice but he couldn't fit in the car. For 2003 they had to design their car to accommodate him.

someone said this might be the luckiest championship win ever

kimi is lucky but also drives very well

well the car is fast as well

ferrari tactics as usual is so poor

how norris saying max took the curb for an advantage after he also took the curb ..madness

I am really curious about this Ferrari tactics that a few has mentioned now.
What exactly did they do wrong/stupid etc?

Kimi wouldn't even be in the top 3 luckiest. Talented with the right machinery delivers.

Agreed, everyone is lucky some time or other. Kimi was the only sliver of something interesting for this whole race, it was really boring.

i think even if you remove the points where Kimi benefited from the VSC's, he would still be head of George and and still be leading the championship.

this could improve things quite a lot:

"LET'S SAVE MADRING:
- Extend the start straight
- Make a 90-degree corner instead of a chicane
- "Soften" the La Chicane to keep the speed up the La Monumental
- Completely change the 13-16 sector, with a 110-degree heavy braking zone corner, and a smooth, fast-flowing corne"

Ja, nothing wrong with Ferrari's tactics IMO. Hamilton could maybe have retired the car earlier for Charle's sake, but maybe they were trying to fix something from the pitwall.

This pretty much says it all:

Even the spin doctors at FoM couldn't think of anything much to say, an 8Min highlights reel must be a record.

He's had the rub of the green for sure, but even without them he'd be leading, although things would be a lot closer.

I think the technical issues have hurt George more than the fortunate VSCs for Kimi, notably in Canada where he retired from the lead, and then the battery issues in Belgium that set in motion a chain of events leading to his eventual retirement.

• George doesn't retire in Canada, so an easy win. +25 to George, -7 to Kimi.
• No deployment issues in Belgium, and he at least makes the podium, so +15-18 points.
• No VSC in Italy, George wins, Kimi finishes second. +7 to George, -7 to Kimi
• No VSC in Italy, Norris wins, Kimi finishes second. -7 to Kimi.

1. Kimi - 271 points
2. George - 243 points (and even more if he picked up a solid result in Belgium)

Ifs and buts though, and Kimi had an engine failure in Barcelona himself and he would have finished ahead of George in that race.
