F1 2026

Great first win for Kimi
German and Italian anthems gave some Schumi nostalgia.

Leclerc's worst track and still only team orders kept him of the podium. At least after more than a year Hamilton got given his first podium in a Ferrari, now Leclerc can get on with business.

I have said it last year already, but how good it Bearman? Ferrari probably cant wait to get rid of Hamilton and get Bearman in that seat. They better hurry otherwise another top team will grab him.

LOL and still nobody likes Russell. Toto describe it as one of the best podiums ever. Don't mention George, just Kimi, Bono and Lewis.
 
See...


Nobody likes him except a couple of misguided folk. Even Max who had a terrible race and didn't even finish got more votes.

I'm pretty sure a Ben Sulayem got more votes than Russell. They should release the full list, I'll show you.

Nah, I think you guys are just salty because Verstappen isn't getting the hang of these new regulations. Had he been on top there wouldn't have been nearly as much complaints. I hope Russell wipes the floor with the rest if them this year.

Today podium was lovely, i would be happy to see a combination of that every race for the rest of the year.

Oscar is the only driver there I feel sad for, he should also be in the top 6.

George Russell 9th (2025)

9 out of 22, that's not so bad.
 
What's your opinion / view on the poll?
I think people struggle with the fact that essentially this is just a button instead of an auto application of the battery power to a cars throttle map. It’s technically always been there just now drivers have to choose when and how to use it and it’s deployment is obviously far more apparent.

I hear you, but I don't think people "struggle" with it, as much as they simply don't like it. The big difference from previously is that whereas in the past it was a small percentage of power, it's now 50%. And previously generation was more (as percentage of battery power) with the mgu-h and mgu-k combo.

And it's not "just max". I've seen comments to this effect from a whole bunch of the drivers.

It’s gone from 25 to 50% of power but generation is double the max recovery per lap and 3x the mgu output. All available at the touch of a button.

IMHO drivers will adapt and be less critical as they get used to it.
