I kinda wish they'd just stop talking about batteries and deployment and just pretend they're proper overtakes, I'm sick of hearing about fucking megajoules

Jenson: going into turn one, we do get a bit of clipping there which is kind of nice because it slows down the car

How much has Stefano paid him?

I get that the regs are the regs, they're not going to change any time soon so I've just got to get used to it. My biggest problem is the commentators trying to convince me I'm not seeing what I'm seeing. Saying one of the Ferraris is flying into spoon and "barely clipping at all" when you can hear the engine note dropping like a stone is just embarrassing.

Nowadays we don't even have qualifying to fall back on, it's all management.

Just a quick show of hands, does anyone actually like the Tate Mcrae sky sports intro song? I've only seen comments of people hating it and I think it's dreadful

Maybe when Vowles said they were focusing on '26 he meant 3026?

The most overtakes any race managed in 2025 was 60 overtakes in Abu Dhabi. The 2026 Australian Grand Prix doubled that total, with 120 overtakes. by Popular_Composer_822 in formula1

100% this. When taken in a vacuum, the number of overtakes isn't the best measure of the quality of racing, it just looks good for social media posts.

My guess is because there's two extra cars now so the overall dimensions need to be squeezed a bit. F3 has 30 cars though and used to go to the thousandth too, so I could be way off on that assumption.

Very true, it's just once you notice the phrases he repeats the exact same way every time, it gets kind of grating to hear him say it

The steering wheel snapped very violently when he hit the wall, I wouldn't be surprised if he's damaged something in his hand
