Not to take anything away from Sam, Steph, or Bryn, but I really miss Martyn Lee. He has a great voice for announcing and never came across as reading a script.
What happened to him? His voice is amazing!
It's very dull without him
Reasoned commentary by professionals who actually know what they’re talking about. Thanks guys. Subscribing.
The 2026 regulations sound like a Frankenstein attempt to do too many things at once.
Correct. It's a rapid accel of turning it into Fornula E light, spec series. WEC meanwhile is doing everything right.
It's also the first time that They have made new powertrain regs FIRST, and then tried to correct the obvious unworkable issues with supportive chassis regs. It doesn't work. It can't work.
I wish to see smaller cars like 25 years ago smaller oh and 2 more teams being 24 car grid
The drivers have more influence on the result this year.
Just look at the standings.
Miami Lando won not so much because of the Max mistake rather largely because of the safety car. There's a huge difference but it's allowed, in F1 sometimes you need the good fortune to win. As for the engine, I get that they are new to the game, but the fact that they have the benefit of recruiting already experienced people from other teams and retained many from Honda. So it's not something that should be alarming anyone. We just have to wait and see 2026.
1kg off the halo is pretty impressive, if it works out.
Cutting edge Mechanical Engineering right there !!
Race week!
IMOLA
That's the name.
Don't forget it.
Hay man
50kg weight reduction wasn't even good enough and they can't even commit to that... Also giving up on 16 inch tyres is disappointing.
So what would you delete in order to reduce the weight more significantly?
Would you compromise safety?
Would you delete the engines, which are crucial to keeping F1 relevant in the financial world?
Would you reduce their performance so they don't need so much safety or weighty power?
Criticizing is easy. Suggesting a realistic solution is not easy.
@@procatprocat9647 I'd delete the battery for starters that'd save a big chunk of weight not having to satisfy the stupid FOM sustainability quota and just go full combustion.
@@KillZoneHart1 then you convert F1 into S5000.
You've killed F1, instantly.
@@procatprocat9647 F1 was fine and would be fine again without hybrid batteries
@@KillZoneHart1 Not looking forward to 2026 when there's even more battery. We have Formula E and no one watches it compared to F1 so why keep trying to make F1 like it and ruining it in the meantime?
Onions known, good stuff.
What can we see? More rain.
Maybe it's just me, but presenting a reduction in halo weight (and presumably strength) at Imola seems strange considering the lethal history of the track. Especially paired with the emphasis on Senna recently ahead of the Netflix series.
Perhaps delay that announcement a week or so?
It isn't being introduced for Imola. It's a target for the new regs.
Try to keep up.
It's for 2026 buddy
Albon signed a new Williams contract, he must be paid well.
I believe the dirty air is far worse then most people think.
Much better than it was before the 2022 FIA regs were brought in though.
@@procatprocat9647 But still not good. When first place can pretty much always pull a 1 to 2 sec gap on the first lap.
@underSTATEDexcellence please email the FIA with your suggestions.
Complaining is for dummies.
Finding solutions is what real adults do.
@@procatprocat9647 Oh yeah already did, got them all in group chat through Teams. Don’t worry we’re working things out. My favorite drivers in first anyways so really I’m just looking out for everyone keeping up the rear.
Can't make the cars lighter by making a b line for becoming an FE-lite spec series. These new regs will be a massive L. WECs ruleset on the otherhand invites innovation and much less restrictive engine rules like F1 used to be attracting many more manufacturers. The fuel will be completely synthetic yet they're still pushing electric. F1 has lost the plot. It's become a fancy spec series.

Freds strongest point is his PR.
Ferrari have been chasing RB for over a year now, but they have never been able to really put them under pressure. McLaren has had two major updates in the same time and they have really both times got close to RB and even beat them in Miami.
The Ferrari drivers have been very lucky not to crash into eachother. And I do not have the impression at all that Leclerc is happy with how things are going operationally. And they have not really been under pressure at all.
In 2022 Ferrari made mistakes because they were in a real fight with RB for the title. Since Fred arrived they have not been under pressure because they were simply not good enough to challenge at the top. Let’s wait what happens when they do get close to chasing for a title before heaping all the praise on the changes that Fred has made.
Lets wait and see
@@KailamiMwiinga That is exacrly my point. Guys like Fred and James Vowles get all the credit in the world in the media, even though they have no results to show for it. Once they do deliver the results they deserve all the praise in the world, until then let's look at them a bit more objectively.
You've been doing these youtube videos for quite a while now. You'd think you would of invested in a decent microphone. Sounds like your in a bloody cupboard
They couldn't force them into mistakes for 2 years. So they need loads of luck, which they had in Miami. Max makes mistakes once in2 years, so good luck to the rest.
Last year RB were at least a pit stop ahead
Max made plenty of mistakes in 2022. More than Charles, but somehow only ones skill gets questioned
Maybe in your dreams
1 piece of luck, the safety car. Max has benefited from that in the past too. But it doesn't explain the fact that Max was right on top of Lando at the restart and couldn't do anything about it but fall further and further back. How do you explain that, definitely not luck.
@@JSAVGA When Max has luck of a safetycar, you can hear it the next 5 years. If it's the other way around, It's absolute silence
Its ridiculous Colton Hurta couldn't get a license. Indy is much much more competitive than F1, and the cars are much harder to drive.
Norris would have won anyway, why even mention the bollard.... 🙃
lol
The problem F1 has is their limitation in grid slots. This is robbing the young and up and coming drivers as well as teams that could add this diversity to the grid. Elitism has its down sides and F1 is the epitome of this. Further more, drivers are now extending their careers - ( eg. Alonso, Hulkenberg and Hamilton) - as is common place in Indy series - is also putting greater pressure on the youth who are being denied possibilities in the top tier of motor sport. Some of these issues can be resolved in very simple ways which will alleviate some shortfalls but there seems very little desire to address these issues.
Completely disagree, there is no problem at all with the grid size.
Few years ago a whole bunch of talented kids joined F1 and the next bunch has already a foot in the door.
Athlets in general are on average younger than ever before, F1 is no exeption from that.
20 cars are the sweet spot, adding more cars will most of all add more downsides.
More diversity? Less elitism? Really???
Skills should matter not wacky social agendas, besides the omnipresent political correct bs F1 is still nothing but elitism.
If you dont like that you maybe should quit watching sport..
Its like doing gambling while despising to rely on chance..
And are you really suggesting to regulate old drivers out of their seats?
I strongly advise you in interest of yourself and your environment to read a book or two about human nature and the dangers of leftism.
@@peterlistig3861 Do you feel better now ?? I have been a fan of F1 since before you were born. I do not believe you are old enough to lecture me on the human nature of elite sport. Even with 13 teams on the grid, the sport will remain in the very elite anyway, so I don't know where you base your sweet spot "notions" on. I am professionally very closely tied to elite sport so I am very acutely aware of the intricacies of elite sport, the politics surrounding money and the effects this has on sport longevity and inovation within sport. Imagine other global audience sports ( football, rugby, cricket, golf or Tennis) with only 20 participants ..... I would strongly advise you to perhaps do the reading yourself that you suggest.
Lando beat Max? Zack should stop snorting pies... Lando cudnt beat Carlos in the same car... Anyone with equal car as Max needs their whole a game and the luck of the universe to beat him
The only drivers who have proven they can beat Max consistently are Lewis and Charles.
@@dylanburston7453 Both have very big flaws when it comes to fighting max for a title... Charles makes too many mistakes and Lewis is not aggressive by default, he only reacts to max and does not instigate aggression, and when he does he alwyas ends up crashing into others or makeing massive errors (Baku, Silverstone, Maimi sprint, Spa 2022 etc)
Max reminds me of young schumacher but a more complete driver, as he does not easily crack under pressure.
I think Alonso will easily give max a run for his money too... the rest i think will make too many mistakes but on their day can beat max
@@kondjanegongo796 Charles made less mistakes than Max in 2022. Charles had 3 (imola spin, France crash and Suzuka corner cut) Max had 4 (Spain and Hungary spins, Singapore lock up and ran wide over debris in Silverstone)
And he has made less mistakes than Lewis in both 2022 and 2023.
Charles dominated the first half of 2022.
In the first 13 races (before TD039 made the RB18 dominant), Charles Won 3 races, was dominating/comfortably leading 5 others before Ferrari related fuck ups, and went toe to toe with max in 2 others.
The 3 remaining races he had a spin, a crash and a engine penaltly.
Out of 13 races where Ferrari was good Charles Won/Should have won 8, was equal to Max in 2.
Charles has made only 6 mistakes in 2022 and 2023. Only one of his 2023 mistakes was in the race.
The whole "charles makes mistakes" narrative is absolute BS.
Meanwhile, Russel crashes into every other driver he is in proximity to and Lando has thrown away at least 10 front row starts in the last 20 or so races, and both escape that narrative.
Charles is called mistake prone for one incedent 2 years ago. Max has made more mistakes this year as well (well, one by assassinating that bollard in Miami)
I no longer think Lewis will threaten Max, or Charles at Ferrari for that matter.
I think hes tipped over the edge age wise, and no longer has the raw speed to truly challenge Max,Charles,Carlos and Lando (piastri will join that group when he sorts his race pace out)
@@dylanburston7453 Spain max won (wasnt a mistake, was a gust of wind) Hungry he spun and won and started 10th, England (entirly not his fault) and Singapore he would have won had RB not fueld him incorrectly... of the 4 "mistakes" he won two races... Charles ZERO
Where do you see charles dominate early 2022? Max would have finished 2nd if not for DNFs in charles two wins, and of the first 6 races Max had 6 wins and 2 dnfs from 2nd, and 2 podium finishes... charles had 3 wins and 2 podiums and was over 100 points behind so you are talking utter rubbish. What 5 races was charles leading that ferrari wer faster than Max, u speak utter twatery..
No one spoke about russel... i said against Max so lets not even go there. How many errors does Charles make in quali? Like i mentioned when max makes mistakes he still wins or comes second, which charles cannot do at all.
I dislike Lewis since 2007 and cant stand that idiot... but Lewis is fucking fast and still faster than anyone on any given day and more consistent.... Lando, Carlos, Charles and Piastri wont come close to lewis in the same car fighting for a title... I took Max all his might, skill and over the top racing to beat that clown.
I dont think Lewis will have it easy at Ferrari against Charles (he is far faster than Bottas and Rosberg) but will never rule him out of a title unless he doesnt have the car to do so.
Lewis has a shit car and F1 race wins are 95% down to the car you have on the dday
@@dylanburston7453 dude what?? you both are out of your minds !! holy... just to prove you wrong about Lewis not having the raw speed: Suzuka 2024 Q2 onboard lap. for some reason, right at this moment the Merc was working decently and boy oooh boy he was flying his ass off in this car. what a lap. without knowing the laptimes, you'd swear it's pole lap material. he was only 2 tenths down. and i'm sorry but this GP wasn't far ago so... nope Lewis still has the fire. you better prepare for next year.
and for Max, i'm sorry but Max is more responsible for a bigger number of crashes than Lewis. this is just reality. sorry to burst your bubble. Lewis never been ruthless. Max was before and even after Lewis. we still see few things from Max that aren't right but he gets away with it.
Funny thing is all these huge car companies like Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren so on just could not beat a drink company 😂 who comes beat them all in their own backyard😂😂😂. What the hell is going on?
The FIA needs to go, the cars are terrible ( the drivers deserve much better ) the racing is subpar for a while and you’re just used to it. If you like racing Indy Car. There more racing in the last few lap of the last event than F1 has had this year! Good luck and so long!
bye bye.
@@procatprocat9647 Haha, say you're a gen z dts fan without saying it 🤡
@WiLDCATZ so true. The dts kiddos are leaving in huge numbers.
It's fantastic for F1.
Now we just need to reduce the american influence, and F1 will be great again.
I've been following the sport since the mid 1980s. How about you?
