What a ‘blow’
The 2026 version of F1 has handed other motorsport series an open goal and the Ganassi team sent it right into the top corner.
On X, in fact, the historic team of owner Chip took advantage of the assist from the convoluted F1 2026 to properly promote the IndyCar championship, which held its second weekend of 2026 in Phoenix.
“Super-clipping. Downshifting on the straight. Managing the battery. In IndyCar we don’t do that. We race”, the pithy tweet posted by the Ganassi team’s X account.
‘super-clipping’
‘downshifting on straights’
‘battery management’ 🥱Yeah, we don’t do that here. We race. https://t.co/H8c0KBylCP

Will F1 take action after what emerged in Australia? We will see if there will be interventions after China; Verstappen, in the immediate post-race after the GP held in Melbourne, emphasized that he does not dare to imagine what might happen on the long straight of the Shanghai circuit. Leclerc also added that defending is difficult and can be dangerous because drivers do not know when the battery will ‘cut’ power on the straight.
Read more Ferrari wins even if it is third. And finally races with two drivers!
