"Hold that P7" Verstappen finished ONE position above him in a faster car mind you. They've been on the receiving end of things for a few months that they're taking anything at this point. Norris did unspeakable damage to that fanbase. How the mighty have fallen.

Toto Wolff gave a VERY long answer regarding the F1 2026 regulations this morning, warning against making "erratic" changes to the regulations. "We need to see the Bearman accident for what it was," he said. "It was a misjudgment of a situation. It's like pushing the boost button and not braking on a kink where you're supposed to brake. And whilst we need to protect the safety of the drivers, and this needs to be of utmost priority and importance, there's plenty of brilliant racing happening in the world that we as racers love. "I love Le Mans. I'm sitting overnight watching the timing screen, but the hypercars go through the Porsche curves 30 or 40 kilometres faster than the GT3 cars. The speed differences are enormous. We have seen critical situations and massive accidents between those two different classes. "I remember I was awake all night when [Mike] Rockenfeller crashed into the GT car in the night, because it was a misjudgment. I remember Allan McNish having a spectacular off with a GT3 car. I remember an accident a year or two ago in the Porsche Curves because of a misjudgment of one of the drivers. And we still love it, and this series exists with all of that. "We look at Nordschleife. I don't know which of you looked at that, and obviously, we had a tragic event, but one of the fascinations of Nordschleife is that a works GT3 car races a private Volkswagen Polo with amateur drivers, in the night, in the rain, over crests where you don't know what to expect on the other side. And even the best racers in Formula 1 in our world love that sport with all the dangers it brings with it. When you look at WEC in Imola this weekend, the lap time differences between the prototypes and the GT cars were more than 10 seconds. "Let's concentrate on those two priorities that I mentioned before and make it better and safer. Will it always be the safest sport? It won't. It's about understanding what those systems do to the car, how we can reduce the risks in particular situations like in the rain or whatever, but always reminding ourselves we are guardians of the sport, we have responsibility for the sport and the opportunity it has given to all of us, rather than looking at the personal advantage or disadvantage of certain regulations being changed or not." #F1

All these “I hope Max retires” takes are weak. Max could literally never win a race again, and he’d still be my absolute favourite, nothing would change. All the people who question his legacy today, are the people who would deny it anyway, it’s cemented, shit engines and batteries don’t change that. As long as Max is racing, I’m watching.

A reminder Max Verstappen said NO to a $150 million per year Mercedes offer plus an ambassador role for 2026. Instead, Max stayed loyal to Red Bull. He accepted the risk of the new RBPT/Ford engine, fully aware Mercedes could build the best car/engine package. That’s the difference. Some drivers abandon their team for more money and to chase the fastest car. Max choose to stay loyal.

Look at this fucking race I’m not falling for “artificial racing” propaganda you can piss off
