They look a lot like F4 cars from everything I seen.

I get the GB4 series on Rev TV they have 4 Canucks racing over there.

Big fields and very competitive.

We just have one race in this F1 season but it is clear for everyone to see that Mercedes will be the team to beat this season.

I already hate it

The cars are too complicated and hard to drive.

Look what happened to Oscar Pizza on the way to the grid.

He can't get the tires to spin then in the next corner the battery provides full torque while he is upshifting and the car spins and crashes.

Cars can't even finish the race...are teams going to get grid penalties for power unit changes?

Flat bottom...yes
Adjustable wings...yes
Overly complicated hybrid crap ...NO

Why not do a choice of a straight 6 or V6 with single turbo on the I6 and TTV6

No hybrid crap and battery harvesting nonsense. JMHO

Yep, they totally ruined the race cars by doing all this nonsense!! They need to just go back to the good ole mechanical engine stuff with or without turbo's. It's no wonder the cars cost so friggin much, and you have to be a computer/technical wiz to work on one!! I quit watching..

A nice 3.5L V12 screaming to 12,000 rpm would be awesome.
They need to go back to innovation.

They could use displacement formula's

NA V12 3.5L
NA V10 4.0L
NA V8 4.5L
FI allowed only on 4 and 6 cylinders.

Last year the gap between the front and the back of the grid was measured in tenths now it is 5 seconds or more.

I think I am done wasting my time on F1

The ALMS Indy Car and even Nascar are far more entertaining right now.

We need some NHRA Drag Racing in here.

How about Hot Shoe Austin Prock and family bailing on John Force Racing after two consecutive championships.

To me this smacks of Ford trying to buy a championship by paying out huge bucks.

Well so far all that Ford and PPG money has bought a DNQ at the Gator Nationals.

Yup they blew the tires off in every qualifying round and then he whines about the NHRA Safety Safari's clean up after an oil down.

3 cars made successful runs after the Prock Not Rockets failure.

Looks good on them

George Russell wins the sprint race ahead of the two Ferrari drivers. It looks like we will have a good battle between Mercedes and Ferrari for the constructors' championship this year.

Yeah I thought that was a silly thing to do! Not sure why it happened, but JF Racing did pick up Alexix Dejoria who absolutely smacked the field and made it to the finals! She did an awesome job for the team! Maybe now that she has a great team under her, she can win some more wally's, she sure can drive! And now her confidence level is up there, you could hear it in her interviews after her runs. An didn't Force also pick up another young female driver? Maddi Gordon? She also put on great showing for her first TF showing..

Maddi Gordon is with Ron Capps.

JFR signed the Vandergriff kid to replace Prock.

They(JFR) also signed Josh Hart to take over his daughters ride.

The why is simple they knew Tasca couldn't deliver a championship and he is the big Ford team.

Buying/Bribing the Procks and delivering them to Tasca was Fords attempt to buy a championship.

So far its delivered one DNQ

Wow! Guess I wasn't paying too good of attention to the details. lol. Thanks for the enlightenment.. Just curious to see how all this plays out over the season. Cheers!!

F1 is really laying an egg with this new power unit.

5 cars couldn't even take the grid Sunday including 2025 Drivers and Constructors Champs
McLaren.

What a farce.

They try to hide the embarrassment by yacking about how great the racing was as 2 Ferrari's went toe to toe but all did was allow the Mercedes to run away with the lead and the second one to chase them down.

This garbage needs to go before this turns into a joke like Formula E.
