Formula 1 2022

Not a bad race, but a shame for Perez with the way it panned out. And another issue with this track, the DRS activation line for the main straight, yet again boy wonder is involved in another incident there, both drivers should be penalised for unsafe and unnecessary braking IMO. Plus any drivers found guilty of failing to slow down for double waved yellows on the final two laps given hefty punishments.
The replays... Not just the start, but the stops during the SC also. Dear god they are as interfering as a prostate exam. Improvement needs to be done there.
Mercedes are looking like Ferrari used to under pressure, these little mistakes are the kind of thing that lose you championships, assuming of course you do a good enough job to get yourself into contention in the first place!

Bottas is at the top - F1 driver is pretty good

The only way Bottas will be a top driver is in a 2020 Mercedes with a mazzy-spin esque team mate.

Looking forward to the high lights as it sounded great on 5 Live

TBF, yes that was a pretty good race.

Was a decent race apart from the CHEAT Chumpion I mean Max winning it was an OK watch, Max over the radio though sounds like a big baby "Oh he crossed the line" "how did he catch me that's so unfair" just shut up and drive Max as if there was any fault I am sure the stewards would do something to help you anyway

Cant argue with that.

As far as I could see at the last corner the whole race card slowed down rather than dive down and overtake, so as not to be at the DRS line first for the long pit straight.

I thought mad Max drove a brilliant race - don't think anyone else with perhaps the exception of Hamilton, would have been able to pass Leclerc?

[seven]

None quite so unnecessarily excessively though.

And wouldn't go as far as saying mad max drove a brilliant race, certainly had a reasonable one, but also quite tame for his driving standards. But I didn't hear anyone else crying over the radio the whole race about other drivers... Its his 7th season, he still has some serious work to do on his attitude.

I agree and he didn't mention once how he managed to narrow the gap to Leclerc under VSC, he'll learn, probably the hard way..

[seven]

IIRC, Leclerc managed to pull out a 4.5 second gap or so under VSC, so he'd had to have slowed down to keep the 40% delta, unless mad max was driving deliberately slow.

[Red-Eye-Knight]

Also the way Max was driving during the restart from the safety car was shocking he was nearly barging into Leclerc, In my opinion he is a dangerous driver at times don't get me wrong on his day he can be outstanding but he does need to learn to grow up and stop whinging on the radio and stop being so aggressive during safety cars as that was not the 1st time he did what he did during a restart.

Just watched the high lights - Mad Max brought the dummy move first from Leclerc who slowed, by overtaking and then being immediately passed by Leclerc under DRS - after that neither obviously wanted to give DRS away , other drivers did the same.

I my view mad Max is whinging but to his race engineer in frustration - all the drivers can be childish , it must be in the DNA of driver's - it is then rebroadcast .

The overtake to take the lead on lap 47 was great viewing - I don't care who wins as long as there is plenty of wheel to wheel action.

I worry sometimes that max is going to run out of talent/luck and hurt himself as he is super committed and takes the Red Bull to the limit.

I'd forgotten that bit, and yes IMO his SC restarts are taking the urine. Though credit to Leclerc for basically giving him the option of backing out or going off track at the final corner.

Again, nowhere near as unnecessarily excessive. If a third car was involved in that, there would most likely have been an accident. And of course it could have destroyed the tyres!

True. GP2 engine being a good example. But still, he's as childish as he was when he started, which opens another can of worms..

Wouldnt go that far! Leclerc didn't do alot to defend the position, think Alonso/Ocon early race. Also, as it was obvious how close he was out of the final corner, a late step on the loud pedal might have changed the course of the straight.

Undoudtably, but the issue for me there is who he takes with him when it does happen. Silverstone gave him a good enough lesson, yet he's learned nothing from it. Then again maybe its bad management. Horny horner and mental marko wouldn't dare speak ill of him..[/b]

No idea why its made your comments bold too, I didnt do that

Sadly, from the Coroner's report, Max Mosley shot himself after learning that he had incurable cancer, and little time to live.

Sounds interesting if they get it right, I'm sure some will disagree..

[Red-Eye-Knight]

They are wanting upto 25 races a season and I heard some talks on Sunday before the race about possibly 33 in a season so great surprise it was announced as they been talking about it for ages, Still sounds good though and another new track to look forward to.

Sounds brilliant to to me

Imagine the amount of Biz in Vegas and the surrounding airfields plus there could be a Red Flag on! ( not the race halting kind of red flag )

Will be an excellent replacement for Monaco

[James Cutting]

Would love it to replace Monaco.

But yet another street circuit
