F1 fans?

Im really digging daniel ricardos form this year hes been really turning it up for Renault, question though is next year is he gonna be given a fast reliable car to be able to do it again?
It will be a shame for him if Renault become challengers to Red bull and Mclaren are trailing behind.
 
I hated when Ricciardo left Red Bull, but I understood his decision. Still think he is a better driver than Max. I absolutely hate Max lol. In a reliable car Dan will do well.

There is nothing to like about Max as a person. He whines about everything, it's always something or someone's fault, he is just a spoiled little brat, exactly like Leclerc. And that is coming from a Dutchie. I rather see Lewis win the whole season. Nuff said.

He has potential though to become one of the best in the upcoming era, if he keeps a decent car under his ass and is going to drive a little bit more with his brain. :)

I find Leclerc very mature and always accepts responsibility when things go wrong. Max loves to pass the blame but then again do did Schumacher....difference is Max is too aggressive with his comments.

Sorry, late to this discussion.

Most F1 drivers I’ve seen pass the blame don’t they. It’s so funny when you hear the team radio of the same incident and both drivers saying it’s the others fault.

I agree on Le Clerc and also George Russell. Very mature drivers and eager to learn. Yes, they make mistakes but rarely do I hear anything unreasonable from them. I actually think this season with that Ferrari being so far off of last seasons pace has helped Le Clerc massively.

Its like he is able to drive with less pressure and his results considering everything have been fantastic. This year will really aid his overall development.

Ive a soft spot for Albon. I think he’s an excellent driver. But he’s in a car and team that has 100% of their focus on the other driver.

I do think Red Bull will hold onto him though....
 
I am a huge F1 fan and can’t wait for the new season to start, especially since I will be at the opening race for my first ever Grand Prix experience. Really hoping Oscar gets off to a strong start and can put together a genuine title run this year. I am also looking forward to seeing Duke Dumont perform over the weekend, which should add to the atmosphere. With all the fan events and track action, it should be an incredible way to kick off the season.

I used to watch a lot of F1 but have only recently picked it up again. It will be interesting to see if Ferrari do have an advantage with their flip wing and smaller turbo, or McLaren with their expanding pistons.

I think it will be McLaren who will be faster but I hope Ferrari can compete with the top teams this season and Lewis has a much better season this time with Ferrari than he had in 2025.
 
To be honest, it’s the tech that interests me and not the drivers.
 
I'm curious to see who was sandbagging & who was glory-running + whether the racing is actually any closer or not with this set of regs.

would be nice as well the grip levels & harvesting combos = drivers making the difference; but some of this energy harvesting on some tracks might make that less of a thing.
 
Really disappointing that the fans didn’t get to see Oscar in the race. One of the worst things that could've happened for the Australian fans.
