THE MERCEDES GAP 😱

This is insane

Hadjar p3 at +7 tents means that if Max was there he would have been at +3/4 tents. Merc advantage it’s embarassing. Lec is quicker than Rus in every corner entry but loses everything on raw power. Without this bs approved from FIA we would have had one of the best seasons ever

Is that supposed to be a surprise with their illegal engine trick? Not at all. I knew the gap will be around 1 second already last year.

If Ferrari had this engine the FIA would have banned it already SMH

The race lasts 58 laps. With a 1-second gap and 1:25 lap times, it takes about 85 laps to lap the leader. So, that's not likely to happen.

It’s rediculous! You can’t tell me Russell is the best driver on that grid and he’s that far in front of everyone

Yeah, I hope everyone enjoys to have 2 cars being a second faster in race trim and 8 tenths in Quali. This is so exciting to watch, the championship fight will be epic. Stupid FIA/Liberty to not block this illegal engine from the beginning with their compression ratio.

Such a joke lmao

I think it would be around 4-5 tenths the gap, if all was running smooth

Another shit year ahead

@castrojr76 Mais um ano sem ver F1

Great Job! They do it again. People talking about ilegal motor, why? It passes the inspections, doesn't it? Everyone seems to have forgotten about Red Bull’s flexible wings that handed four world titles to some guy named Vettel.

Same thing Mercedes does. They have a team exploiting every aspect tbh can of the new regulations. Just like the last time a major overhaul was done. I’m not a merc fan but good on them for finding every edge instead of complaining about changes. They must have a team dedicated to finding loopholes and exploiting them.

Fecking dirty cheating Mercedes.

2026 is the year for the Mercs 🤞

Cheater 🤷‍♂️

If this is a result of totos compression 'trick' what are the FIA doing about it? Is it legal or not?

Hey what’s the difference in a 4.0 liter than a 4.4 liter ? Well that’s the difference.. How and why FIA ruled the compression difference was legal is what I want to know.

@vGazza

*COMPRESSION GAP?

*Sandbags off*

Already next year is our year..

MERCEDES got rocket in pocket

Yeah just a compression from mercedes nothing to see 🤷‍♂️

The FIA gap

How?

I know people misremember think merc cheated in hybrid era, but they didnt, actually didnt even push for hybrid engines they wanted V8s.BUT THIS TIME 100% SOMETHING FISHY, with compression ratio, they did crafty shit, still might now be illegal but not in the spirit of the rules

Wow

Russel fez a pole em 1:18.518. Ano passado, 2025, a pole foi do Noris feita em 1:15.096. Ou seja, esse novo regulamento trouxe a Fórmula 1 pra baixo, E MUITO, em termos de desempenho. Galera tá conseguindo matar o que a F1 tinha de mais massa. Foda viu 😔

Les gars c’est mieux on pense à 2027 😂

The loophole gap

Those who claim ferrari is faster in corners the reason is merc is smarter they chose a less draggy setup where as ferrari knew they can't compete with us that's why chose a higher downforce setup.

Esse ano será sem graça
