Jeremy Clarkson briefly comments on Twitter/X regarding the Japanese GP! 🏎️

Jeremy Clarkson woke up early on Sunday and tuned in to the F1 race in Suzuka, Japan. Needless to say, it sounded like he wanted to go back to sleep… 😅😴 (For the record, I also wanted to share this post on the Formula One subreddit, but their rules and MODs are a bit uptight on what’s allowed there.)

Unfortunately, that subreddit is also full of uptight MODs and posting rules. Last year, I tried to post on there a screenshot where F1 legend and commentator Martin Brundle called out Elon Musk and openly wondered if he should continue posting on Twitter/X. “Dank F1 memes only!” The MOD wrote, and then swiftly deleted my post (even though it attracted some attention and comments on their subreddit!).

Considering the crap that makes it through the mods, your post must've been exceptionally bad

That mod was very right to delete your post. Its a subreddit for **\*memes\*** not for politics. Also, read rule #3. I'm quite sure posting zero effort screenshots from X qualifies for that.

Haven't even read too much about the 2026 regs but it needs to improve or this will turn off a lot of new fans from Drive to survive. Although I said that in early 2024 and then it turned out a good season in the second half

Drive to Survive is the cancer of F1. People who are introduced to F1 from that series, are toxic drama loving idiots, who don't care about racing. Only drama. It was a major mistake to give Netflix permission for that shit.

Yes but for the sake of F1 we don't want to lose all the new viewers due to boring races.

Sadly the only thing to bring the excitement back is bringing back actual risk which can't happen so it's a dying sport

i think more dnfs would fix the problem, which would mean V10s but thats highly unrealistic.

I woke up early, convinced my kids they’re watching with me because yay, Formula 1, and then about Lap 24 in I told them they could watch cartoons while I go do something else. That race could have been an email

Susuka is just Asian Monaco, the track is difficult but doesn't provide good overtake opportunities.

F1 is for the show, for good racing you watch motogp or wsbk

Rather watch 10 F1 races on Suzuka then read twitter.

Well the most exciting part of the weekend were the grass fires so he isn't wrong. Maybe the tracks need Bernie trackside flamethrowers *and* Bernie sprinklers to make races more interesting?

He's right. It was just a clinic by Verstappen keeping better cars behind him.

Just like the majority of F1 races for many many many years.

You'd think he'd like cricket. You basically spend the whole day drinking in the sun and doing little else.

It took every ounce of energy I had to stay awake during the race. I know I dozed off for a bit, but also know I didn't miss anything. The race could have used a light rain from start to finish.
