Very funny how the FIA can't immediately RED FLAG sessions when a driver crashes? Where is the consistency? 🤔
In Australia 2026, Verstappen crashed at 7:40, the session was red flagged at 7:29
At Austria, NO RED FLAG. Why? Because a Mercedes was on a lap.
Glad to see the sporting integrity is alive and well 👍🏽
« One method of demonstrating compliance (but not the only method) would be, in the case of a Single Waved Yellow Flag, an increase in the time taken to traverse the flag sector, of at least 5% compared to the driver's previous lap(s) under similar conditions. »

@the_zb_ Le FTM ne joue aucun role dans l’ADUO tout simplement parce que les tests sont effectués sur banc moteur. De plus les cartographie conservatrice sont proscrite si elles ne sont pas justifié par une fragilité moteur. Il faut lire le règlement avant de juger.
@CanalplusMotoGP Quand on voit le niveau de pecco qui a chuté (ça m’étonnerai qu’il ait oublié comment on pilote) il y a de quoi se poser des questions. Laurent Rigal a réussi officiellement à me dégoûter des grands prix moto, merci !
@CanalplusMotoGP Et sinon vous arrêtez quand de lui cirer les pompes à marquez ? Oui il est bon, mais putain y a d’autres pilotes sur la grille ! Sur 62 points repris y en a 25 parce que martins a fait un strike la course précédente et la parce qu’il est suspendu (a juste titre)
@TomLeterrier0@CavalierRosso Oui et si j’étais au volant je serai déjà titré, ce genre d’affirmations n’ont aucun sens un s1 violet c’est bien mais y en a 2 autres derrières (les plus difficiles pour notre voiture)
Let’s talk about one thing: how is it possible that Mercedes has 2% of the ADUO? The FIA is mocking us. And we all know something happened behind the scenes.
The ADUO publication was supposed to come after Miami (3 May), but due to the cancellation of Bahrain and Jeddah, the official announcement should have come right after Canada (24 May). We’re now after the Monaco GP (8 June), and there’s still no official confirmation. I warned you that Toto Wolff has enormous influence within the FIA, he does whatever he wants!
We all remember that before the Canadian GP, Toto Wolff criticised the ADUO, saying it wasn’t right, it was bad, it shouldn’t be done. It’s pretty weird to say that when you know your team is going to get the 2%, isn’t it? And he himself knows that his engine is the best. Strangely, right after that, the FIA started delaying the announcement. I spoke with engine engineers from other teams, they are all shocked. They can’t believe Mercedes has been given the ADUO.
Laurent Mekies said this in (Monaco) FP2: “The ADUO? What we see from our analyses is that Mercedes is clearly ahead of the group consisting of Ferrari, RB-Ford and Audi. We hope the FIA will reach the same conclusion.”
Then in Canada, Mekies added: “You look at your gap to the best competition, and today we think the pecking order is Mercedes in terms of powertrain ahead of the field, and it means eight cars, so it is very significant. We think behind them there is a group where we see us, Ferrari, Audi — don’t ask me to quote the numbers because it will be gaming — but we see certainly a consistent gap compared to the Mercedes-Benz-powered cars.”
You don’t have to be stupid to realise that something happened between Toto Wolff and the FIA. Nobody is going to make me believe that Mercedes has a 12-24hp engine deficit (which is what would be needed to reach 2%).
The FIA isn’t even ashamed anymore. We’re not just fighting against Mercedes, but also against the FIA. Every single fucking decision goes in Mercedes’ favour. Everything. The starts? They change the rules. Ferrari’s FTM? They change it. The Ferrari halo little wings? They change it. Mercedes’ CR? Hmm, we’ll wait and change it later. Mercedes’ rear wing? We don’t change it.
In the modern history of F1, the FIA has always favoured Mercedes. It’s becoming shocking. This is no longer sport, it’s influence. This organisation is a joke.

“Quem corre no MotoGP é completamente louco”, disse Kimi Antonelli sorrindo. “Não consigo me imaginar a 370 km/h em duas rodas. Eu definitivamente prefiro as quatro rodas: elas são mais estáveis, mais seguras e mais protegidas. O que esses caras fazem é incrível. O que me deixa sem palavras é ver um piloto cair durante uma sessão, correr de volta para os boxes, subir na segunda moto e ir ainda mais rápido. Para mim é algo louco. Isso significa que algo está faltando em suas cabeças”
“Mas também é uma grande lição: observar como eles conseguem fazer a mudança mental imediatamente após um momento difícil é algo com o qual você pode aprender muito.”
Here’s how Polish fans celebrate their club’s victory.
Before leaving the square, they cleaned up after themselves. No one was beaten up or raped.
Be Like Poland.
« Si je disais ce que je pense, je nuirais à Ferrari. Nous risquons la destruction d’un mythe. Je suis désolé de cela. J’espère qu’au moins ils retireront le Cheval cabré de cette voiture. » 🥶
