@NVIDIAGeForceUK Any chance you could fix the issue for VR users? Quest 3 I have to use 594.71 because all newer drives have an issue with crashing. Various reports online of others with the same issue
@wearetherace@XPBImages The 107% quali rule, was introduced to prevent slower cars from participating on safety grounds, I would argue that these regs allow for scenarios where the closing speeds are akin to the scenarios that rule was designed to prevent, it's not always about absolute lap time
Superclipping takes its first casualty with Bearman out of the race hopefully uninjured but showing a bit of a limp, the closing speeds due to battary drainage is an issue, @F1@fia please sort this out it's ruining the sport #F1#JapaneseGP
@F1 can we bring back the timing to 3 decimal places rather that just the one? Also while we're at it, a decent engine wouldn't go a miss, onboards this year are pathetic @fia#SkyF1#JapaneseGP
@F1@pirellisport These regs could havs been a win, reduced weight/overall proportions, slightly louder etc... But this energy starvation issue needs to be fixed ASAP, it's ruined some circuits and doesn't look on the limit, how the F1 game is going to make this entertaining is anyone's guess
During testing, I wrote about feeling optimism that the new regulations would be 'alright on the night' once we actually got into a competitive weekend.
But, seeing the realities of the new regulations, that optimism has vanished as quickly as the drivers use up their batteries.
There's no doubt these power units are exceptional pieces of engineering, and continue to showcase the usual brilliance of the manufacturers.
But it's difficult not to see the regulations now as anything but fundamentally flawed, and seeing cars unable to maintain their own momentum halfway down a not particularly long straight is not the direction #F1 should have travelled in.
It's an overly complicated mess, and I fear it's a massive misstep. This is nothing to do with competition, or the pecking order.
Seeing an F1 car essentially have its horsepower halved midway along a straight on a qualifying lap, before gently coasting into a corner like a pensioner heading out for mass, is not why any of us are here.
#AustralianGP
@SkySportsF1 with the 2026 cars being energy starved, could they add energy harvesting to the front brakes to help increased the energy recovery to help limit super clipping? Obviously would need to be a change for 2027 but I already dislike this super clipping element #SkyF1
@SkySportsF1 could piastri ignore the call to come in on lap 49 go to lap 50 instead, and force lando to either stack or go a lap longer and get a penalty? #SkyF1#QatarGP
RIP my friend. Condolences to each and every one of your lovely family. What a character. What a rock star. What a racer. So many drivers owe you so much, you gave us our chances and believed in us. ๐ฅฒ
@karunchandhok And why put a DRS zone there and develop new cars to promote overtaking and then penalise when drivers give it a go? Max new exactly how to keep the position and take advantage of the of the stewarding and it's fairly obvious to see that, similar in a way to Austria
@karunchandhok VER came off the brakes deliberately to force NOR wide because that's the expected behaviour in that corner, Martin said it earlier in the race you can get somene a penalty by forcing them wide, I thought you had to leave a cars wide if there significantly along side? 1/2
@SkySportsF1@CroftyF1 not a fan of RB using RIC to deny NOR the fastest lap, mclaren don't have the luxury of a 2nd team to sacrifice a driver to get fastest lap, in the remaining races they could theoretically use the same tactic to deny NOR 8 more points #SkyF1#SingaporeGP
@thegrandtour finale, to some may not be that meaningful it's just an end to a series. But those that know and have watched since the start of the Top Gear days it means a whole lot indeed, more than I can fit into a tweet, Thank you chaps, what a way to end the grandest of tours
