2026 Pre-Season Testing Week 1 - Day 2 Discussion Thread For anyone confused about Overtake and Boost modes [Autosport] "If Max wants to retire, he can retire..." [Erik van Haren] Max Verstappen is, to put it mildly, no fan of the new regulations and cars in Formula 1. He said among other things that it doesn't feel like racing, it's mostly about managing, and it's like 'Formula E on steroids'. Keanu Reeves and Max Verstappen in Bahrain. He gets out of the car, throws his gloves, they are not where they wanted (to be) by far. Verstappen has doubts about future after rule changes: 'This is unworthy of F1' [ASJesusBalseiro] Stroll speaks and sounds concerned. “We have engine problems, and not just engine problems. We're not in a position to fight for victories. Right now, we're four seconds off the pace.” Q: 'Do you feel like you're in a good spot relative to where you are in testing?' Max: "I don't know what spot I am.. I know that I am in Bahrain!" Lewis & Valtteri yesterday! [SmilexTech)Aston Martin's problems come as no surprise. Honda is way behind. There is even talk of the AMR26 losing 3 seconds in engine performance these days, due to a precautionary but necessary power reduction. Downbeat Stroll says Aston Martin looks 4.5s off the pace Lance Stroll press photo vs current reality...PAIN [AutoRacer] Verstappen is very harsh on the new rules and responds to Wolff: "1-2 hp? We're missing a zero." [Motorsport.com] Aston Martin opens extra cooling vents on extreme AMR26 as Honda engine issues emerge 2026 Pre-Season Test 1 - Day 2 Classification [The Race] Carlos Sainz backs Toto Wolff's claim that Red Bull is clearly ahead of its 2026 F1 rivals right now. A few favorite Bahrain Testing Photos from Thursday Max: "Atleast we are not breaking down! No one really expected that, that we`d go out of the garage without exploding!" Lewis Hamilton and Carlos Alcaraz in Bahrain [F1] Out with the old and in with the new How can a driver see to the side of himself during a crazy turn 1 start with this sort of design?
