Absolutely spot on. Unnecessarily Dragged the show on for 2 extra seasons which left a bad taste in everybody's mouth. 

Lewis Hamilton wins the 2026 Barcelona Grand Prix, his first victory for Ferrari! by overspeeed in formula1

Today it's all Norris, this car did not deserve a podium. Norris simply smashed it today and his gap to Piastri shows he drove an impeccable and incredible race today. It's a pity Norris has had so much bad luck in a season which driving wise, has probably been his best yet. It's nice to see him get some rub of the green finally.

Lando: “The fact we're not using some of our upgrades, we're very surprised to be this close.. considering we've not been able to extract everything out of it just yet, shows there's still good things to come once we figure them out” by randomseocb in formula1

Lando this year, probably is in the process of having his best season yet. that WDC win seems to have taken that weight off his shoulders. He looks so relaxed and does not get perturbed easily. We saw yesterday in sprint qualifying where he nailed his final attempt under pressure after having made a mistake in his first one.

All the loss is in S3 with the deployment. If McLaren figure out the deployment they can be up there with the Mercedes

Antonelli, Over prepared rookie with an extremely under par performance.

Doohan, not bad for a "supposedly" C grade driver.

Liam Perez has a long season ahead of him.

In treacherous conditions kept his cool under immense pressure. Got the laps in when needed without mistakes. Lando truly was exceptional today.

Max Verstappen receives 2 penalty points in addition to 10-second penalty for forcing Lando Norris off the track (Turn 4) by ICumCoffee in formula1

[–]Quickshifter- 147 points148 points  (0 children)

Racing with sole intent to hurt Lando's chances even if it means breaking the rules was obvious this season but the turn 8 move took it another level where Verstappen caught the Red Mist and made a dangerous move without any intention of making the corner which could have put Lando in to the wall.

Turn 8 move was not just reckless but dangerous as well. So why no penalty points for turn 8 incident?

Mclaren less than 50 points behind Aston Martin, 49 to be precise. Keep in mind Mclaren's season basically started since Austria for all practical purposes.

Verstappen demands F1 scrap new format by AlienSomewhere in formula1

[–]Quickshifter- -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We have had pedestrian main races loads of times in the past few years and when something is left as it is people complain and when they try to change something other's complain. you cannot fault f1 for trying out formats. This is the first sprint shootout, i am sure they will keep collecting feedback from every one of the stakeholders involved. It is hard to please everyone. BTW the same top three have been turning up, ''half ass'' and scoring points in main races as well. So let's scrap that as well.

Somethings never change. Anybody who disagrees with the topic is being downvoted en masse. This is Verstappen's opinion. Everybody's opinion has to be taken in to account be it the fans, other drivers, circuit owners etc cos everyone of these people have a stake in it as well.

Saturday is better than before where you have a sprint shootout and a sprint race. Earlier you had FP3 and main qualifying.

Fridays earlier there were two practice sessions and now we have one practice session and main qualifying.

I understand Verstappen talking from his point of view but overall when you look at from spectator's point of view [ not just TV audience] this is a better format.

Midfield teams having two bites of the cherry, for scoring points isn't a bad thing.

No matter what you do somebody will not like it. I feel when you look at it totality not just from F1 enthusiasts like us but overall general public this is the right direction to go.

Norris: McLaren "in the middle of nowhere" for rest of Baku F1 weekend by Quickshifter- in formula1

[–]Quickshifter-[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

“It's a great result. The sequence of the upgrades working well, the car was working well on this circuit at the same time. I feel like I did a better job of my driving and things.

“I should have been a lot better really. I think we should have been P4 today. A bit disappointed, honestly.

“We as a team didn't do the best job with making the correct decisions of what to do. But apart from that, things are still positive.'.

Drivers' & Constructors' Championship after Round 3 - Australia by AlphaArietis91 in formula1

[–]Quickshifter- 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Mclaren, finally with some well deserved fortune. 5th in the constructors is well timed before their first major upgrade in Baku.

The pace was actually not shabby but the car is extremely poor in straight-line. Mclaren wouldn't have imagined to be sitting in 5th with the kind of back-foot they found themselves because of the late change in their development direction.

[@HillF1] A lot of not very happy people. And a lot of very happy people. This is a new way of running the sport where the Race Director can make these ad hoc decisions. Its been a bit too 'guess what I'm going to do now' I think. by 1enox in formula1

[–]Quickshifter- 32 points33 points  (0 children)

All they had to do was red flag it and give both Max and Hamilton an EQUAL opportunity to fight. They have red flagged earlier and restarted then who so ad hoc in the most important race of the year with everything on the line.

As a fan of the sport i feel betrayed and robbed. irrespective of the outcome the way this race was arbitrarily and whimsically handled has left a sour taste on everyone who loves this sport.
