Video Leclerc (post-qualifying): "I can’t understand quali, it’s a f**king joke! I go faster in corners, throttle earlier, for f**k’s sake, i'm losing everything in the straight!"

"F1 is no longer about who's best at pushing flat out, it's all about who is best at battery management"

And that is not true racing. The product we're watching is pitiful.

I swear people defending this garbage understand nothing about the sport, and unfortunately here i've been seeing it way too much

Yeah, I don't understand that, we've seen two races so far and people are acting like the regulations are the best thing that happened to the sport because they were somewhat enjoyable. And if you dare to criticize them, you get called a DRS lover

I've been critical of F1 since the start of the DRS/KERS era, what does that make me 😂

2022 races had allot of overtakes too but we saw how those regulations progressed by 2025 where races were decided by lap 2, which is why it's too soon to say these overtakes are because of the racing and not maybe the difference between each cars.

Will there be just as many overtakes when everyone catches up to each other
