P4 OVERALL IN VIRTUAL LE MANS!!!
For our team this is definitely the best result any of us have had in sim racing, to go against the world's best in the world's toughest race & to achieve this result is an absolute highlight, we've worked so hard for this! @LeMansVirtual
If anything from this year we can say we saw what may end up being the 3 best drivers ever in F1 share the podium, and further on from that theyโre probably the 3 drivers on the best form at the moment
F1 has 20 of the best drivers in the world. You could argue Verstappen is the best driver in the world at the moment, but thereโs plenty of drivers in other categories who make that top 20
I agree Toto! Thatโs why you all agreed in 2021 with the race director that they were allowed to do anything they can so we donโt finish under safety car! Oh waitโฆ
๐จ Toto Wolff DEFENDS 2026 F1 regs.
๐ "Fan enjoyment trumps driver opinion."
Responds to Verstappen & Norris criticism.
Points to increased overtaking, adjustable rules.
SPECTACLE for viewers comes FIRST.
Having Max start 20th is going to be the best opportunity we can get to see whether these regs work for overtaking or not. Outside of Cadillac/Aston Martin it will be interesting how easy it will be against Alpine & then the further midfield.
The stewards have confirmed Lance Stroll will be allowed to line up on the grid tomorrow.
Aston Martin put forward a "compelling" case which included noting Alonso's time (within 107%), Stroll's F1 experience and running in preseason testing, and the reasons for not taking part in qualifying #F1 #AusGP
