Link? I ain't following the media circus this season
Ain't no way I will be waking up earlier to watch this sh** show... they said the changes will make things more interesting and close and now Mercedes is a second ahead of the next best and the cars from the bottom half are 3 seconds off the pace per lap...
What a way to totally ruin the sport even more and make it unwatchable... congrats FIA...

The 0.6s gap between Mercedes and Ferrari is ridiculous at this stage.
Now makes sense Mercedes and Ferrari to be ahead of McLaren and Red Bull Ford, as they focused more on building cars for the 2026 regulations. While McLaren and Red Bull fought each other for podiums in the last 2 seasons.
Teams will catch on near the end of the season, but Russel is already the champ. You can't close a 0,7s gap p/lap, that's absurd. Unless FIA bans something illegal on Mercedes car, which isn't there per reports. The battery recovery is obviously best designed at Mercedes currently.

If Merc's engine won't be allowed anymore past may we could see Leclerc catching up with Russell till the end of the season, Ferrari has a strong car this year too.

The last two races—well, one race and one sprint, to be exact—just confirm to me that Hamilton is the most naturally talented driver on the grid, just a half-step ahead of Max.
If you gave everyone the exact same car, he would figure out a way to win more often than anyone else on the grid.
It's a pity F1 is more of an engineering championship. Mercedes will run away with it this season; their straight-line power is way ahead of everyone else.
The last time we had two teams capable of winning the title, the Stewart ruined what should have been either an epic final or a Hamilton boring win lol.

Then why did hamilton lose to russel in his last mercedes season and lose to leclerc by big margin in his first ferrari season, lose against leclerc in australia and china sprint?
Prime hamilton (2017-2021) maybe is as good as verstappen but it is possible that verstappen would beat him in in this cars also.
