Dom 🇨🇿 -> was at Monza!

Welcome home, Naz

well i'm happy!!!! the car looks really, really good. and the pace was a lot closer than i was expecting.

i've seen some people say Mercedes was holding back to preserve tyres, but Charles had massive LICO the entire 2nd stint. and considering this track was supposed to heavily favor Merc...

I can't lie, this was a much better race than expected even if very chaotic at times.

Well done to Mercedes 1-2 and George on the win, very good performance from both Ferraris (35s ahead of NOR/VER), Bearman best of the midfield and rookie Lindblad battled Bortoleto and took P8!

Charles: This is like a mushroom in Mario Kart.

Bryan: That was a funny one.

Valtteri's out. 2nd VSC of the day

Insane first 15 laps of the first F1 race of 2026 lmao

Oscar crashed on his way to the grid
Ferrari had a great start
Leclerc got into Russell's head BIG TIME
and poor Hadjar's car straight up died from fifth place

(and Alonso is out but we all expected it)

Tsolov is damned good. Bulgaria might be the newest country with an F1 driver before too long if he keeps this up

You spoke too soon brother

Nicolas Varrone:

- pits from the lead
- the pit stop is absolutely terrible
- he still comes out well in the lead
- the SC picks up Tsolov instead of him
- Varrone still caught for speeding in the pits during that stop

f2 is f2-ing once more

Absolutely embarrassing message that from Alex Dunne. Dear me.

As for the incident, all his fault, obviously

Dunne caused the collision by brakechecking his teammate after taking the lead

That was a real ass-kickin motor race

That race was awesome. Newgarden did what he does best. Respect.

Man, what a RACE that was!

I feel bad for Rasmussen and Power though, they were both on for a great result until the collision.

Great execution from Penske & Josef Newgarden and congrats on the win!

VEEKAY AND PALOU COLLIDE HOLY SHIT

What an absolute SAVE from Hauger

Dennis Hauger for save of the century

How-ger did he not hit anything?

dennis hauger might be him

Laughing at the crashout some 'fake' tifosi are having, currently more entertaining than the cars on track. Not even one race and we already have people giving up the season.

That feeling when you overslept quali so you miss everything but at the same time also miss nothing at all

NAZEEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

KAAAAAAAADRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

1-2 for Ferrari in the first FP session of the 2026 #F1 season - very impressive! Leclerc set a 1:20.2 at the end of the session.

Red Bull look strong too, very nice effort from VCARB's Lindblad in 5th, and Audi are doing a very decent job as well.

We'll see in FP2 & FP3 how the cards are dealt!

aaaaaand now it's Alex Albon's turn to have his car shut down

Charles: Why is my rearview mirror not working?

Bryan: Charles, we will fix it in between sessions. Just focus on driving

Charles: Yeah I know I’m trying, it’s just really fucking annoying

they’re back y’all

With 20 minutes left, the reigning champion Lando Norris won't take further part in the session with a gearbox issue!

And of course Aston Martin have done absolutely nothing as expected 💀

Charles Leclerc girl who is going to be ok meme

CARS ON TRACK!!!!!!!!
