P1 with Matt and Tommy
Our 2026 Chinese GP predictions

yeah the way stella came out was seemingly quite annoyed by it it wasn't a very much like oh we didn't know that what we could do with this engine now we'll learn it seemed very much like we're not happy about this and to be honest i i kind of side on the mclaren um argument here because if i purchase a product i expect to get the instruction manual

P1 with Matt and Tommy
Our 2026 Chinese GP predictions

Maybe they didn't buy the manual.

P1 with Matt and Tommy

Maybe they didn't add the optional extra payment to come with a manual and an instruction booklet.

P1 with Matt and Tommy
Our 2026 Chinese GP predictions

Maybe, yeah.

P1 with Matt and Tommy
Our 2026 Chinese GP predictions

Oh, yeah.

P1 with Matt and Tommy
Our 2026 Chinese GP predictions

I just wing it.

P1 with Matt and Tommy
Our 2026 Chinese GP predictions

Don't worry, we'll sort of see if we're clipping out immediately.

P1 with Matt and Tommy
Our 2026 Chinese GP predictions

And even less practice and data.

P1 with Matt and Tommy
Our 2026 Chinese GP predictions

Yeah, I think the sentiment from Formula One was they didn't want to do knee-jerk reactions after testing immediately and change everything.

P1 with Matt and Tommy
Our 2026 Chinese GP predictions

They kind of got away with one.

P1 with Matt and Tommy
Our 2026 Chinese GP predictions

I know, obviously, most people are unhappy, but they did kind of get away with it in the fact that we had the leaders swapping positions and things like that.

P1 with Matt and Tommy
Our 2026 Chinese GP predictions

They could kind of cover it.

P1 with Matt and Tommy
Our 2026 Chinese GP predictions

Obviously, the overtake graphics and things didn't do much to...

P1 with Matt and Tommy
Our 2026 Chinese GP predictions

changed people's mind and just made people even more annoyed.

P1 with Matt and Tommy
Our 2026 Chinese GP predictions

But for the most part, I think things like the starts and how I think Franco Colapinto's amazing reactions potentially saved them from a big discussion point, because had Colapinto launched over the back of Liam Lawson and gone into the fence or something or had a horrendous crash, this was a big concern about the race starts and why they put in these

P1 with Matt and Tommy
Our 2026 Chinese GP predictions

new practice starts and things because they were worried that the speed difference and we almost had a big big moment with Colapinto and I think they got away with one there so they're going to change that so maybe Ferrari's rocket starts you'd hope that they still have them but it might be a case of them trying to tidy that all up

P1 with Matt and Tommy
Our 2026 Chinese GP predictions

Particularly, well, they did that crazy start anyway, so with the whole fifth light going on for 0.0001 of a second, which made me think that they even wanted chaos.

P1 with Matt and Tommy
Our 2026 Chinese GP predictions

Even something fun, like Charles Leclerc saying that was like a mushroom in Mario Kart.

P1 with Matt and Tommy
Our 2026 Chinese GP predictions

They didn't want that almost comical look of the new rules.
