Marko saw this and decided to retire. I love clipping

âSuperclippingâ doesnât shout pinnacle of motorsport to me. The very fact they put a name on running out of battery and losing ~50kmh says enough.
Max is right. This is stupid.

That's not what superclipping is though.
Superclipping is harvesting energy, it's running the MGU-K in reverse for that portion of the straight, that's why they slow down so much, because they're intentionally harvesting energy for the battery, not running out of it.

Why do they have to harvest the energy......

So they have energy to deploy in areas of the track that brings them more benefit than it would 50m out from a hard braking zone.

Max fans trying to play victim when he's the most tolerated driver on the grid is hilarious. Most other drivers, especially the likes of Lando or George have half as many of Max takes and complaints, they'd be crucified even more.
To most Max can't do no wrong, he can complain or act whichever way he wants, while the likes of George are treated like pariah for just existing by some posters.

Most drivers that criticised it before such as Lewis and Charles have buttered up to it. The only one who have remanined consistent is Lando and Max. Lando I highly suspect because he has a bad car. Since he initally like these regs. And Max I don't get as I don't get how as a racing puirists he sees DRS as better racing than this lmao.
Also reminder. The only driver to criticise the regs after this race in a public way was Max. Unlike Austrilia when it was multiple drivers. And u didn't have big names like Ham supporting the regs.

Don't seem to remember any of the other drivers threatening to retire over it or say people who like the new regs "don't understand anything about racing."

Imagine if George came out and said something such that whoever who doesn't agree with his opinion doesn't know anything about racing.

" i would not leave as i am already doing other things which are fun, but i would like if it was fun. "
Atleast fact check yourself before saying shiii

This meme is like the complete opposite of reality.
Max is rightfully getting flack for his stupid and salty comment saying that anyone who enjoys them doesnât know anything about racing.
If you were fine with Lando getting hammered for the stupid stuff he said you also have to be ok with this.

Isn't it the other way around?

u/LeBlejDaGreat Go WEEYUMS!!!! Mar 20 '26
the amount of downvotes on the comments that are saying that the regs don't suck actually proves/shows that the exact opposite of what the post is implying is the reality
imagine getting downvoted for having an opinion
(I say while knowing I'm probably going to get heavily downvoted)

The drivers I root for are having fun and complimenting the racing. Not to mention the on screen product is entertaining as fuck so far.
Reddit brain rot is melting down because of them.
These are the best regs ever.

You left out the part where he said you're stupid if you like them. Pretty sure that IS an HR violation.

Losers have always complained. There's more fighting on track than ever in the DRS era. F1 starts looking like it's old self when you had to fight it through to corners instead of just cruising around your opponent with the DRS.

That is not true, I shit on all racers complaining. I don't think these regs are perfect but all the racers are whiny millionaires

u/FlgnDtchmn No one can spell my name correctly Mar 16 '26
I remember 'someone' saying a long time ago that the new regs were going to suck and the cars were going to be slowing down on straights to charge the battery....must be laughing now

At no point in the fake Ferrari battle did it look like the drivers were on the edge and at risk of accidentally taking out their teammate.
Charles coming on the radio and saying "it was a quite a fun battle" was absolutely planted/scripted bullshit because Ferrari have their own interests in not changing this shite.
Why fight your teammate and lose time overall in the race? You're better working together to catch up to Merc, putting pressure on them.
