Something is wrong at Suzuka… and drivers are not happy.
Formula 1 just made Suzuka too easy
Drivers are sounding the alarm about the 2026 regulations and what they are doing to one of the most iconic tracks in the world
High speed corners like 130R are no longer about pushing to the limit
They have become energy management zones where drivers are forced to lift and recharge instead of attacking
Fernando Alonso said it clearly
“It’s gone… the chef could drive the car now”
Kimi Antonelli admitted drivers feel handcuffed by energy limits
Charles Leclerc called it an absolute joke
Lando Norris said it hurts your soul to see the speed drop
When going faster in corners makes you slower on the straight
Something is fundamentally broken
Do you think F1 is losing its essence or is this just the future of the sport
