F1 2026

Looking forward to the overtaking tomorrow. Expect a bit of carnage.
 
I suspect very little to no overtaking.
Maybe there is extreme tire degradation that can make it interesting.
 
a bit of a shitshow at the Madring...

"The thing about them charging people 275€ just to sit in a sandpit with no visibility...

And on top of that, you’ve got to add the fountains that don’t work, the workers on 12-hour shifts with barely any water, the problems getting food in, the circuit split in two, etc.

The paddock, hospitalities, and all that are very nice, the rest leaves quite a bit to be desired. Good reflection of current F1, all facade."
 
but it should make for an interesting race, if the tyre deg is anything to go by

"Teams have encountered a MASSIVE degradation in Madring

⏱️ They're losing around 2-3 tenths per lap. Way above Pirelli's expectations

🤯 Toto Wolff said that if the race had been yesterday it would have been SIX stops

👉 An evolution of the circuit is expected to mitigate this, but they don't know how much"

"...The medium>hard one-stop strategy looks most likely, with a window between Laps 18-24. Alternatively, if teams are confident in their ability to use a decent tyre delta to overtake, then on race time the medium>hard>hard is almost identical. That has windows between Laps 10-16 and 31-37… though this isn’t the only reason to stop twice.

“The decision maker between one- and two-stop could be the graining,” says Pirelli Motorsport Director Dario Marrafuschi. “If you don't have enough pace initially, and then also wear life, to complete the race with just single-stop, then of course you need to exploit the other stop to manage the race.”..."
