2022 Formula 1 Season Paddock

Putting on my armchair psyc hat, along with my armchair cockpit helmet,,, given the serious type A personality of any f1 driver, especially a big winner, I suspect he’s in grief over losing the title. If he was thinking of retiring, he wanted to go out on top, for the ability to say that, now he is torn between quitting and have people question if he is having a tantrum, or continuing on, with the next couple years being a serious unknown if he will have the best car under him and if he can go out on top.

 

I would be okay with this.

 

At what point does someone so successful stop caring about what other people think, though?

 

When this...

 

Again, way past my current “training”, may need next semester’s armchair class,,,, but a legacy is based on people’s opinion. Seems like many with big legacy’s and/or riches, enough is never enough, “absolute power corrupts absolutely”. But I don’t know him, nor his true mindset or intent, so, back to armchair status.

 

Maybe go back and watch the Brazilian GP before you decide Lewis can't overtake.

 

Pure power overtakes in the DRS zones. Doesn’t get much easier than that.

 

How much are these aero redesigns reaaaaaally gonna even out the pack? Are we going to see another RB/Merc year of battle whilst everyone else is fighting for mid-pack glory?

 

Probably right now the money with that comment..

 

I kinda doubt Hamilton is going to bail on the chance to be the most successful F1 driver in history by taking an 8th title

 

I did & he had a F1 car with a cranked up fresh Merc ICE which even not cranked up has the most power in the paddock with double DRS zones very close to each other. Was like he was racing F2 cars.

 

this guy. he beat his teammate in his first year. probably his best skill so far has been at flying under the radar..

 

I remember I used to listen F1 Weekly podcast, and Nasir Hameed was talking about Carlos Sainz as a future F1 champ in like 2011 or so.

 

Very likable guy too.

 

Smooth Operator

 

Empty threat from a drama queen. Of course I could be wrong.....

 

The car was the star.

 

Brand new season with the first major changes in a long while. Hopefully we will start a little more even.
But, if "out the gate" the Merc is as far ahead as we've seen, George will have a great time, at least in qualifying. Assuming all else is equal.

 

Lol… If he does come back next season he could be starting with a penalty
