F1 2022 Season

Max and red bull are so dominant, he can start last and still end up winning the race.
 
When does Newey retire... ? What a car and driver combo that Red Bull is. Gap is already 2.3 seconds after 1 lap :lol:
 
Ferrari :lol:

Dont they have strategists for this reason? God they’re frustratingly incompetent
 
They’re taking the piss.

Can you do 5 more laps?

I don’t fecking know mate you have all the tyre data

First time I’ve ever heard a convo like that. How can the team with all the data not just be making the decision?

Engineers voice sounds like Leclerc shouted them down and run everything through him now :D
 
Does anyone know whether the straight line difference is a PU thing, or an aero/chassis thing?

Edit: seems Brundle thinks Ferrari have gone with a higher wing set up.
 
"Oi, Charles, mate, what tyre do you want? By the way, the pizza in the garage is really good! Do you want us to save some for you? Wait, I forgot, you don't like olives. Don't worry about it, we'll make one without olives. Man, it's really hot in here. Are you hot in the car, Charles? We think of putting an AC next year. Is that a good idea, do you want that? So I watched this movie yesterday and I want you to tell me what do you think about? I think it was great but I want to hear another opinion. So there's this guy..."

Ferrari...

It’s bizarre. Ask your driver how he feels with the tyres in the moment, sure. But to ask him to predict how long he can go? He’s driving the fecking car he doesn’t have the modelling and team of strategists in the car with him.

Both. But RB have often ran significantly less drag vs Ferrari in most races this season hence all the overtakes on Leclerc by Max. The Ferrari PU is good though I think Merc and Renault are lacking though they don’t say that.
 
Vettel going at Alonso now might be interesting. Alonso is slower on better tires?
 
There is a reason why some of the other teams like Williams and Aston Martin copied elements of the Red Bull a few races ago…..
 
For all the complaints, Mercedes isn't even that slow, they are at least on par with Ferrari, probably second quickest car today. I have no idea what happened in the qualifying with them.

I think the shock isn’t that Merc is fast, it’s more how slow the Ferrari is. 10s+ behind Max already. And 4 behind Perez. But yeah, on race day that Merc is decent and largely because the reason it struggles in quali (can’t get tyres to temp) actually benefits it massively in the race.
