Did they cook⁉️🔥😂

Canal+ is essentially the “HBO of France”, a premium cable network that holds the exclusive French broadcasting rights for Formula 1 and is famous globally for its high-budget, cinematic race intros.

Their latest viral masterpiece for the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix leans into a “Mario Kart” theme to mock the sport’s controversial new technical regulations.

The promo features F1 stars like Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc navigating a pixelated Suzuka Circuit while dodging red shells and banana peels.

This creative jab comes after Verstappen publicly joked that the new 2026 battery-management rules make the cars feel more like a video game than a professional racing machine.

By turning a driver’s “insult” into a high-end commercial, the network has once again proven why they are the gold standard for F1 media.

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
