Funny how Norris was also paid millions last year to adapt, yet he needed McLaren to design a tailor-made suspension for him and sacrificing WDC leader Oscar Piastri’s 34 point lead with tows and position swaps just to save his season.
Stefano Domenicali was right about the new fans not caring about the technical side of F1, and Norris fans might be the clearest example of it.
Nearly a year into these regs and they’re still think it's about driver adaptability.
There’s barely anything to adapt to when the cars are numb to driver input.
Mercedes has by far the best PU package and 2026 F1 is dominated by energy deployment, something the drivers have no control over. The FIA and the drivers themselves have admitted this.
Alonso said it best: even his chef could drive these AI battery cars.
The skills that once separated elite drivers from the rest have been neutralized. Corners that used to reward bravery, feel and precision are now basically charging stations.

senna hitting a wall and being like “no i didn’t make a mistake, the wall must’ve moved” and sending his team to investigate it and turns out that the wall actually did move
🚨 | BREAKING SOBRE EL EVENTO DE MAX VERSTAPPEN VS. 100 KARTING.
🧱 Hay un grupo de pilotos que tienen planeado hacer una MURALLA para que Max no los pueda adelantar... ☠️
Esto va a ser más divertido de lo que pensé... 😈
@neverst0pracing@oscar81piastri_ That’s exactly how these comments struck me making it sound like they’re “helping” though they don’t even say how but if it doesn’t work it’s on Oscar 😑
On reflection to make the sport fair I think they should reduce the calendar to 22 races. Each race is entirely under a safety car and each driver gets a win and podium each. The championship trophy is split 22 ways to ensure each driver gets their fair share of glory. Only fair
I think they should also suspend and cancel a race anytime a driver suffers a mechanical issue leading to a DNF. I think they should race with spec cars because how unfair is it that some drivers get to drive faster machines than others?
PIA and HAM had the best starts, yet their race turned into a nightmare: 2.4s to reach 100 km/h, just 4.5s in total to reach 200 km/h. PIA was on Hards, making this result even more impressive!
Aston and Audi were the worst cars off the line by far: something to improve on
