It’s different now. Fans are critical, but more importantly the drivers. They are saying the same thing that I am. So there’s that…but you go on and defend the widely unpopular changes if you must. Wait and see, changes will be made because it is a problem.
There it is. ‘Managing’.
That’s what airline pilots do. I want fighter pilots flying the latest and fastest. Not decisions made by auto-pilot and monitored / managed by pilots…
Pushing a button to jet past another driver, only to run out of battery and have them effortlessly take the position back gives far less meaning to the ‘number of overtakes’.
Those who ARE driving the car feel the same.
No, I enjoyed that Friday evening.
I’m an F1 fan, and know a lot about the sport and how races run. I expected that it would be all about BP and his romantic interests combined with unrealistic race sequences. So that’s what I got. But the racing part was even more out to lunch than I expected..
For those thinking all is well while looking only at the number of passes this season compared top 2025, this article does a good job presenting the concerns of the drivers.

At least the cars were driven flat out. Now they slow themselves according to programming to harvest power, and the drivers are to a large extent at the mercy of the mapping the team has set up. Time will tell I suppose, but the last 1/3 of the Aussie race was pretty boring. IMO
Meh…1st half was interesting…last half was a sleeper.
Not worth seeing imo. I expected it to be very mediocre. Even then, I was so disappointed.
No, you do not.
💯!!
Yeah, that spin says nothing about Max, but speaks volumes about the car.
There is no saving a rear-end electro/mechanical failure entering a turn at that speed. Not even for Max - he was just a passenger at that point.
As a 60 year old who just recently starting riding again thanks in no small part to my e-bike, I have mixed feelings about this.
F1 ruined by electric motors - that I can get on board with.
Already the commentators fawning over him is enough to make me puke tbh…
How are our leaders getting this time change thing so wrong? BC Premier locks BC in on permanent DST instead of standard time, now Danielle Smith wants the same. Medical experts say the science clearly shows this is bass-ackwards.
Why do they refuse to listen to experts? We’re being led by fools..
The UCP is blaming the huge municipal tax increase on Albertans asking for more schools and more supports. The part they aren’t saying out loud is how much is funnelled to charter and private schools. Our public tax dollars should NOT be used in this way. Where is the outrage!?

Dan McLean re UCP budget: ”I’m not here to defend the province, but…”
…goes on to defend the province.
UCP lackey…but we already knew that.

Counterpoint:
No, it was awful.
Truly.
It plays in Canada as well.
#UCP last election: Hey Calgary! We’d love to (🤔buy your votes) buy you a new arena 🤥!!
#UCPBudget 2026: Just kidding, pay for it yourselves!
To me it looked like Marc stood him up ever-so-slightly. It was subtle, but that was what Pedro reacted to imo. Great racing!!
à la Trevor Tombe…
Any fellow proggers out there? Whatcha listening to on this fine Friday?
Beat Live is cranked at my place!!
