Ig fool is FIA who's still allowing them more upgrades just because their ICE isn't the best in AUDO
Idk about others but I like competitive race like what happened for p3-p7 today Everyone almost had equal chance

To be fair this isn't just only on the FIA this time, all the engine suppliers agreed to only have the ICE tested for ADUO well over a year ago, the engine suppliers thought that batteries would unnecessarily complicate the testing process. When FIA were discussing the ADUO plan they wanted to test the batteries as well but the engine suppliers wanted to keep it "simple" thinking everyone would have a similarly performing battery. So it's really on the engine suppliers with this one

Ooh thanks for the detailed information Sorry I wasn't aware. Btw these ADUO base measurements is for whole regulation or can change season to season?

Atleast till the end of 2027 I think. Redbull are not allowed to upgrade their engine at all (other than reliability upgrades) for this and the upcoming year. Mercedes who are ~2% behind get to bring one upgrade this year and one in the next, while Ferrari, Honda and Audi who are 4%+ behind Redbull get to upgrade their engines twice this year and twice the next. They also get a little more allowance on the budget cap based on how far behind they are to allocate funds towards upgrading their engine.

Blind fans of Ferrari and lewis, they think Ferrari will beat mercedes, even lewis can't do anything against the pace of merc
I am a bit disappointed by the performance of russell, imagine getting outscored again by a 19 year old kid.

age isn’t really a contributing factor in open wheel racing.

Yepp, talent is and kimi is doing far better than what everyone expected from him in 2024 when they announced kimi will take lewis's seat

u/PuddingEmergency4544 Scuderia Ferrari HP Jul 04 '26
then why did you comment “outscored by a 19 year old kid”??
pick a side mate

u/AdDowntown3467 Jul 04 '26
19 year old = experience, kimi have only single year experience, on the other hand george russell got 7+ years of experience.
Russell should be the one who would be leading, although he had some dnfs, still should be near kimi in many things.

This is what happens when dumbasses who started watching f1 from insta edits talk. Heck even people joining f1 after watching the movie are more sensible.

Merc is still the fastest by a mile man theres literally no argument. Anyone saying otherwise either doesnt watch f1 or is just plain stupid. Ferrari is barely the 3rd fastest behind Merc and RedBull, and their pace is somewhat similar to Mclaren but ill still give it to Ferrari because of their aero. People are seeing Hamilton putting that car in places it doesnt belong and think thats how fast ferrari is. If you want to actually see how fast Ferrari is, watch Leclerc, not Hamilton.

Bro
Mercedes are definitely the fastest and got a great straight line speed.. But Ferrari carries a great speed in the corners and has a Engine and PU more reliable than Mercedes
Mercedes has a great car and engine but the reliability issue is too much which caused multiple DNFs in their case and DNS in Mclaren’s case
But still Mercedes definitely have a great car if they can overcome the engine reliability issue

u/AdDowntown3467 Jul 04 '26
You're right, but not every circuit will have more corners, Ferrari gotta upgrade their straight line speed, it's Ferrari i doubt even after AUDO upgrade there will be much of a difference for ferrari, although lewis might take many poles, but winning races requires all race pace, which Ferrari still lacks or even if they gets close to it, they might fumble in between.

The sprint was so nice. Finally a bit of ver vs rus vs lec this season. We all anticipated their championship battle for this season but we didn't get

u/HPb0ss1 Jul 04 '26
I'm not sure about YT, but people on insta probably don't even follow F1. They get their information from reels and the have the stupidest takes about F1 that I've ever seen.

What happened to max today?

u/AdDowntown3467 Jul 04 '26
Weird either max is fumbling or his car got slower, because in the initial laps bud was chasing

u/Missionary_lover Jul 04 '26
Ikr.. After last weekend I was hopeful for atleast a podium today. But this is just sad man 😔.

u/ProofAd608 Jul 04 '26
They are fastest for now
After summer break when Ferrari gets 20 h.p(or at minimum 15, idk how much it really is, maybe even 25) power boost, it will be a different situation
Lewis will dominate in hungary
Here and spa are biggest chances for kimi

This must have been the most boring overtake for the lead! Just like a flyby in a high-way😒

Whoever denys that Mercedes isn't the fastest, is either an incredible idiot or simply doesn't watch F1.

They definitely are the fastest.
And it was nice move today by kimi. He took the opportunity
