2026 Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix - Barcelona, June 12 - 14

[De Wet]

over night, Pirelli has reduced the minimum tire pressure by 1 psi. Must be new times indeed

It will render all FP2 long runs meaningless. Track data, Friday night factory sim data, to be thrown in the bin (almost). Because now the teams will have to generate 'extrapolated data' from FP2 data, to correct for min.tyre pressure, and then arrive at a setup.

Evaluating one part of the PU to grant development tokens to all parts of the PU, inviting disinterested plastic-bimbos into the paddock rather than the millions who actually love the sport, making errors measuring pitlane speed, correcting tyre pressures reactively - lot of 'moving the goalposts' for a billions-at-stake 'pinnacle of motorsport'. Feels very unprofessional, and ponzi-scheme like.

An Endless Sh*tshow...

If charles ever going to be champ he need to keep crashes under control

This is why speed alone is not enough. If your car is not the fastest you need to know how be measured!! A real shame for my boy Charles.

177 race starts. This is as good as he will ever get.

I highly suspect he will never win a championship. Hes only managed 8 wins which is pretty horrific, especially considering his strong qualifying one lap pace.

This is a huge comeback by the champ?! A second wind?!

nah, you're overly pessimistic, and you must remember what team is he driving for

we don't know how much extra he is putting in to sometimes be able to deliver a good result, perhaps he is constantly on 110%, Hamilton, IMHO, is much more laid back, he doesn't need to prove anything, he just drives, when the car feels right - he can put in the 100-110% and have a quali like today, but Charles is like a younger child in the family - always has to take more out of himself to receive the same appreciation

give Charles a good car and a team that can actually support and more importantly - not ruin the race with some silly decisions, and he'll be just as good as any other top driver, because when you drive for that team, IMHO you not only manage the race, the car, you also have to think what feedback to give back to pits to get them to give the right strategy call, if they even consider driver input in the first place when gazing into their crystal ball

good showing by Hamilton, hopefully translating into a close race as well. Hard to say yet who has an advantage at high deg this year, but usually it's rarely Russell.

Great job by Hadjar. He has been close to Verstappen so far this season. He deserves more recognition.

I think Max made a mistake on S3 but anyway it was again another good QLF by Hadjar. But he urgently needs to increase his pace on the race, I can´t remember him pacing anywhere near Max

Tomorrow there will be huge degradation, I think we´ll get some card shuffling with that

Tires left for the race (tbc, but should be correct)

Yes great job by hadjar. We will see what happens when the weight comes off
