2026 Australian Grand Prix

The Mercs are just so good. Even after the Ferraris pitted and had a tire life advantage they never really made any headway on catching RUS or ANT.

The opening laps were much wilder than I hoped for even if it was a little cartoony. Though I wonder how sustainable that is once we get to tracks where you can regen more and you don’t have guys passing and getting repassed based upon when you blow your load with the battery.

Count on Ferrari strategists to turn a potentially compelling fight for the win into a Merc runaway. How do you not split the strategy? Until they finally shore that up I’m highly skeptical of their ability to really make this a championship battle.

Until I’m proven otherwise I have zero confidence in winning anything beyond some races. They still haven’t learned from 2017 and 2018

Well the beginning was exciting even though it later got quite processional at the front.

I blame Ferrari and their ****** up strategy because they could've put up a fight until the very end.

This was better than most Australian GPs, especially much better than 2014.

Fun and spicy opening segment of the race. The results set up quite a bit of intrigue going forward.
