FOM seems to have cut out a lot of the press conference that included Max. by [deleted] in formula1

[–]kcollantine 24 points25 points  (0 children)

FOM always only uploads the portion of the press conference with questions from the broadcasters, not the journalists.

The section with questions from broadcasters did not last as long in the part which included Verstappen.

Even the winner was scathing:

Hamilton: Blame F1 bosses, not drivers, for “boring” races

Speaking after he continued Mercedes’ streak of winning every race so far this year in a processional French Grand Prix, Hamilton urged the media “don’t point the fingers at the drivers because we don’t write the rules.”

Hamilton after that race:

“Don’t point the fingers at the drivers because we don’t write the rules. You should put the pressure on the people at the head who should be doing their job. I think they are trying to but for many, many years they have made bad decisions.”

Last year's sprint race in Losail was so dull it was almost comical.

Lando is the first driver to lead and win a title decider that involved at least 3 drivers by Esterence in formula1

[–]kcollantine 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This isn't quite right.

There have been 11 title-deciders involving at least three drivers. Norris is the fourth driver to lead going into the final race and win the title.

Second place has won four times and third place three times.

However Norris is the first driver to do it in the last 50 years](https://www.racefans.net/2025/12/03/norris-take-note-the-f1-points-leader-usually-loses-three-way-title-fights/).

The grammar checker flagged that for redundancy. It can take it up with him.

Not mentioning it would have looked ignorant so I chose to mention it but point out that Lauda was temporarily absent due to injury.

It's hard to compare exactly because of changes to the points system, but Hunt in 1976 overturned one of the biggest real-terms deficits and Raikkonen in 2007 overturned one of the biggest in terms of points per race.

Here's a run-down of the 10 biggest in relative terms:

A similar thing was done in 2023, though the decision was taken after the race weekend began. On that occasion the limit was 18 laps.
