F1 2026

This track is like Monaco, plenty of places to pass.

It's a racing incident: George Russell, Toto Wolff, Jolyon Palmer, Lewis Hamilton, Fred Vasseur and thats from 60 seconds of googling.


Wait... Not on purpose? I thought that's not the other drivers problem? At least make consistent arguments... The FIA's ruling has more to do with the front-axle not being ahead.


Lol

You realise that in an IQ test a plank of wood would likely beat vaaldumme?

Perhaps Williams will take him back.

If you go back to F1TV and watch his onboard again, all of his speech has been scrubbed.

There is so much manipulation happening at F1 FOM/FIA around these new PU's. They didn't show the speed of the cars during the weekend to hide the fact that their speed dropped towards the end of the straights.

True, but a lot of Russell's anger here comes from the persistent issues he has been having with the PU and battery and the fact that the team doesn't seem to care.

In the full radio, after Russell takes up his grid spot at the end the formation lap, his engineer tells him the battery is fully charged, and everything is 100%. By turn 1 he only had 35% battery and was screwed, and this is something that keeps happening to him.

So yes, these cars are a problem and the powers that be do not like the criticism, but there is more at play where Russell and Mercedes are concerned. He is unhappy with the persistent technical issues and what he perceives to be unequal treatment from the team.

I'm with you on the manipulation. Looks like this new electronic format is basically a way to play with the pieces.
