2022 Formula 1 Season Paddock

Schumacher must be feeling pretty low getting kicked around by a driver who had been out of F1 for a year and that had managed only one podium and no wins in his entire career.

 

Urgh, thankful McLaren are doing better but they still have a ways to go.

Carlos was on a mission today, Lando didn’t stand a chance!

 

Ehhh, I didn't even bother watching the sprint. No interest.

 

another vote against Sprint races.

 

What's funny is that even a global survey of F1 viewers, conducted by the FIA, resulted in an overwhelming no vote for continued sprint races in F1 but they ignored the fans disapproval.

 

Get rid of the F1 sprint race and have a 20 lap race with them all in identical 911 GT3 RS’s. Now that would be interesting.

 

I say go-karts

 

Yes please!

 

I only say GT3 RS cause it’s only my all time fav car.

Go-karts would work also but open face helmets to see expressions

 

IROC!

 

Those were the days!

 

Surprised you all dislike sprints. I love em. Shows what teams can do without as much “strategy” (pit stops, safety cars, etc) and luck.

i know you can still have those in a sprint, but overall it is just all out racing. Fun way to decide pole.

What are reasons for the dislike?

 

Quite a boring race apart from following Gasly and seeing him keep Hamilton behind for half the race.

Good job Lando.

I wonder if McLaren are regretting the extended contract with Riccardio. I still vote Nyck De Vries should get a seat and I think he'd look quite good in Papaya!

Awesome race by Russell too!

 

And good race by Bottas. He fought hard with the Ferrari customer car. He's a good driver.

 

Ha, Latifi didn’t even make it on the overall drivers points classification at the end.

 

Did you hear Toto’s apology to Lewis at the end of the race?

I’m presuming he apologized to Russell in 4th also

 

Bottas and his continued terrible pit stop luck, 8 seconds! Since i've started watching F1 I feel like he's definitely had the worst luck in the pit. Otherwise he's such a solid workhorse. Was hoping he would take Russel at the end.

Wow, Leclerc... was actually rooting for him to take second. Bummer! But also happy for Norris to get a podium finish.

"Hamilton is the GOAT"................ definitely wasn't the car the whole time.

 

Hamilton has to be wondering if he should have done a Nico after last season. Hamilton’s comments about his team not making mistakes coming back to haunt him among other comments he’s made pre-season.

 

"my team does not make mistakes"
"shows how wrong we got it"
LH 2022

 

Sainz got the worst shaft of anyone frankly.
