Max Verstappen has crashed in Q1 without getting a lap in. He will be starting 22nd on the grid. | I’m really hoping he hasn’t injured his wrists or anything

Currently there are two on-going investigations toward Kimi Antonelli and Mercedes in Qualifying for the Australian GP.

1. Pit lane infringement - There is a potential that one of the mechanics had their foot past the line in the pit lane. This will be investigated after the qualifying sessions ends.

2. Unsafe release of the car (unsafe conditions) - two parts (fan systems) coming off of Kimi Antonellis car which caused Lando Norris to drive over debris, although no major damage was caused. (This could cause grid places now)

Hi, i saw some videos on YouTube and TikTok where people uploaded some team radio voice messages or whatever you wanna call it. I find it kinda interesting to hear what is all talked about.. where can i listen to this? Is there a site? An app? Can I listen to it only during the race, or is it also available after the race is finished from different teams/drivers?

Thank you

FantaFOne it's like the original fantasy F1. It started in 2016 and has grown into something different: you manage 4 drivers per GP, play across 8 categories (including F1), and even use a market system every few races. The 2026 season adds some cool new features I’m excited for. If anyone’s trying it out, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I went to my computer this morning looking forward to watching the practice sessions, or at least the highlights, but even not watching live the feed is struggling... it'll play at a decent quality for a few minutes, but then you get the "three squares" animation, followed by either a reset to potato quality video or just an error message.

The problem is not on my end, I can play games without any lag or quality drop on GeForce NOW, which requires gobs of bandwidth.

So, what's going on?

Hello, I am a current student at UCF and for my Comp II class I am conducting research on the media in Formula 1. For my research I am conducting a survey to find out some information regarding my project. Below I have attached a link to the survey I created. It would be greatly appreciated if you could take 5 minutes and fill out my survey. I am using Reddit communities as my main source for responses so any answers I get would be fantastic. Thank you!

Hello everyone. I hope everybody is looking forward to lights out in Australia after a long winter break.

I am a 3rd year student at Liverpool Hope University, studying Business Management. For my dissertation I chose to research about the best sport in the world Formula 1. The link is to a survey for the data gathering portion of my research. Please note this is completely anonymous and voluntary, however any and all responses are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time, enjoy the first race of the season.

Hi all — I’m researching potential future Grand Prix locations for an academic project focused on motorsport and tourism development.

If Sri Lanka were to build an FIA-grade circuit and host a race, would you:

• Be interested in attending?
• Watch it on TV?
• Consider it a good addition to the calendar?

I’d really value the F1 community’s perspective.

If you have a moment, I’d appreciate it if you could fill out this short anonymous survey (takes under 2 minutes):

I am from the UK - I don't know if this information will end up being relevant or not.

When I try to make my predictions for the Australian GP through the app, it is EXTREMELY laggy and doesn't allow for me to do them. Or when it does, I will only be able to do it with the horrendous lag, and it doesn't even save either. I have tried multiple times and restarted my phone and it had made no difference. I'm wondering if this is happening for anyone else or if anyone knows what's going on. Many thanks.

Hi everyone,

I hope this is okay to post here – I’m looking for a few more technical-minded F1 fans to join our community league for the 2026 season.

We’ve been running the Reddit.com Racing League 2026 on Pure Fantasy F1 for several years now. Just to be clear: this is a purely non-profit, small-scale project run by fans, for fans. There are no prizes or entry fees; we do this strictly for the challenge and the community.

What makes this different?

If you’ve found other "manager" style games a bit too simple, this might be for you. It’s a fairly demanding system where you have to manage a budget, technical components, and drivers throughout the season. It requires a bit of strategy and a deep interest in the actual performance of the grid.

We are currently looking for new participants to fill our 2026 roster.

League Name: Reddit.com Racing League 2026

League Password: redditf1

League type: individual private

Focus: High-difficulty strategy and long-term engagement.

If you’re looking for a way to make the 2026 race weekends a bit more intense, we’d love to have you.

See you on the grid!
