POLL: Rule nr 3 - should race results be allowed in topic title

Yesterday, a discussion about race results in thread titles became quite heated, so I decided to lock the thread.

Personally, spoilers don’t bother me. If I can't watch a race live, I stay off my phone entirely until I’ve caught up. Since results are everywhere: TV, radio, and all over social media, avoiding them is usually up to the individual.

The current spoiler rule was originally implemented by three moderators (myself included) as the community grew. However, I am now the only active mod left, and I don't want to be the sole person deciding whether to change this policy. Even if we change the rule, there's always a chance someone will post a result in their excitement, and I won't always be available to remove it immediately.

I’ve created a poll to let the community decide. It will remain open until this Thursday:

PS: I understand that disagreements can get intense, but please keep the conversation respectful. There’s enough negativity in the world already, let's keep this community a positive place.

Edit: the results are in!

Rule number 3 will not be adjusted. Thanks for voting everyone!

2026 Barcelona "Shakedown Days" discussion thread

Formula 1 heralded a new era as a number of teams took to the track for day one of the Barcelona Shakedown, putting their new-look 2026 challengers to the test.

In a change from last season, all 11 teams have been offered the chance to gather crucial data in both Barcelona and Bahrain, with the Spanish circuit hosting a five-day shakedown. Each squad can only test for three of those days and some – including McLaren – have opted to wait until later in the week, while Williams will miss out entirely.

As the battle to maximise the performance of the smaller, lighter cars heats up, those who chose to venture out on day one clocked their first laps of the season at the Circuit de celona-Catalunya.

Upcoming race discussion threads

Hey people!

For the past 3 seasons i mostly have been taking care of the F1 weekend discussion threads (Practice, Quali, Race, Post race) which have been pretty fun!

Halfway last season it started to feel like a chore and after the season ended i needed time to think if i want to continue doing this for season 2026.

I would like to ask if there are people here that would like to help with making these threads and helping with moderating this channel since i am currently the only active moderator.
