@f1insightshub I love the insights @f1insightshub keep up the good work. Would you be okay if I use your insights on my YouTube videos?

There’s one driver who dominates the record books at the #ChineseGP 🐐

@m_lubieniecki Why the deployment of the battery done so late in the main straight?

[Marek Lubieniecki @m_lubieniecki]

During the Australian GP weekend we saw cars losing up to ~50 km/h at the end of the straights. What actually causes that?

I ran a simplified 2026 hybrid model to explore the effect. Here are the results from the Australian GP lap.

Here is the technical overview for the Chinese Grand Prix:

There will be 4 Straight Mode Zones in play with Overtake Detection happening at the final corner!

Pirelli have confirmed to bring the 🔴C4, 🟡C3,⚪️C2 tires for this weekend!

Battery management will be a big topic once again but drivers should have an easier time in China due to the track layout!

[Simon Dau @there_is_no_if]

It's a bit odd that FIA/F1 created some of the most complex regs to date, yet stripped two decimal places from the timing tower as if to make things appear simpler for the audience.

[TrackSims @TrackSimsF1]

Lando Norris had the fastest pit stop of the race at 17.739s total time lost in the pits.

Here's the full look at the best pit stop times from the Australian GP.

Aston Martin's 30-minute breaks not included 😂

Shanghai track map updated with SM zones.

Can’t wait for sector 3 😁

I think this circuit will be much better for charging the battery than Australia.
Turns 2, 3, 6, 9 and 11 should provide plenty of harvesting opportunities, and then there’s T14 which is the hardest braking zone.

#F1 #AusGP Start Ratings

🥇 WDC Lando with the quickest start in the field
🥈 Checo
🥉 Carlos

Charles was slow to react, but RUS and ANT were also slow off the line, and HAD had to lift before T1, helping LEC secure the lead.

[Lights Out ●●●●● @LightsOutF1Blog]

Mercedes and Ferrari were the only teams who saw both of their cars complete every lap of the #AusGP. #F1

[Daniel Valente 🏎️ @F1GuyDan]

Updated map of the Shanghai circuit for the Chinese GP 🇨🇳

• 4 Straight Mode zones
• Overtake Mode detection at T16

That back straight looks daunting for these cars 😅

[DRS Unlocked @DRSunlocked]

10 laps of absolute chaos between Ferrari and Mercedes 🔥

Leclerc jumped from P4 to P1 off the line. Russell fighting back. Lead changed hands multiple times. ⚔️

Then Ferrari blinked.

Skipped both VSC windows. Mercedes pitted. Came out ahead. Never looked back.

Russell wins. Antonelli P2. Mercedes 1–2. Leclerc P3. Hamilton P4.

Max went from P20 to P6.

Piastri crashed on the sighting lap. At his home race. Before the race even started.

New era just started.

I analysed some race relay data and noticed an interesting strategy from Mercedes:
In short, energy is not deployed aggressively. They accept a deficit of around 10 km in vmax, but clipping is delayed, allowing them to arrive at the brakes with 10 km more than the Ferrari

[Aman @Amank1412]

Someone built an open source F1 replay timing tool that lets you watch races on delay without spoilers while still seeing live timing, telemetry, and pit-stop predictions.

It can even sync with your TV using a photo of the timing tower.

RACE PACE! #AustralianGP #F1

Mercedes built a rocketship, yet Ferrari wasn't far behind!

Excellent comeback by VER

Audi and Haas built cars which can lead the midfield this year, yet are ONE SECOND slower than the worst top-car (McL)

Alpine struggled, yet was quicker than Williams. Cadillac is slowest by far! (But, unlike Aston, can finish races)

Pace per team:
1)Merc (ANT)
2)Ferrari (HAM) +0.13s/lap
3)RBR (VER) +0.53
4)McL (NOR) +0.56
5)Audi (BOR) +1.53
6)Haas (BEA) +1.68
7)RBs (LIN) +1.84
8)Alpine (GAS) +2.12
9)Williams (ALB) +2.36
10)Cadillac (PER) +4.31 (!!)
11)Aston (?)

Pirelli predicts a one-stopper, as always, as the best strategy for the race
