F1 2026 Discussion

Yeah missing those two races could give some teams a chance to fix their cars.

Just got done watching the race qualifying and sprint and all of that. Unless someone has a seriously great upgrade package, merc is going to cake walk this season

My prediction at the end of the year. Max and Fernando both retire from F1
 
Fernando is like my age so I can’t fathom how he’s still racing.

Why would Max retire?

He hates the cars and has accomplished all he wants in F1. Max don’t like F1 games. He likes to race cars. He seems to be leaning toward racing other types of cars that are just throttle and gears. None of this “save the battery” type stuff

Max to 23XI racing in Nascar confirmed.

I could see Max retiring from F1 in the first half of his 30's, maybe even at the end of his current contract in 2028, although I could also see him doing a stint at Mercedes or something too. I really doubt it'll be after this year.
 
Do you really have to have Apple TV for this year? I don't watch F1 consistently enough to get Apple TV, but want to watch it some. Looking for other options.
 
McLaren & Max....OUCH.

Mercedes dominate.

Ferrari's looked to have a good battle amongst themselves: (click Watch on Youtube):

 
Season doesn't feel real lol. But this is the first season I've watched with whole new regulations. Hopefully the other teams figure it out to at least complete a full race.

I agree with Max and Fernando. I watch race to watch them race. Not who can deploy a battery better at the right time. I deploy my remote battery every time I watch racing. Also so far Apple sucks compared to ESPN. I have to watch it on my phone because Apple TV does not jive with Samsung for some reason
 
I believe him when he says he doesn't like the regulations, I don't believe for a second it has nothing to do with his team not having a good car and him not being competitive. Lewis and George seem to be loving the new cars.

He didn't seem to have many problems with boring DRS trains while he was in a rocketship at the front a few years ago.

Might want to hook up a Roku or Fire Stick to your TV and watch Apple TV through one of those devices instead of using the Samsung Apple TV app. Think that might fix the issue.
