2022 Formula 1 Season Paddock

Am I the only one who gets unreasonably annoyed that the drivers don’t help push their cars off the track?

I think they need special gloves in case the chassis is energized. If I remember correctly.

 

What was LH complaining about at the beginning about his tires and "in the future you need to listen to me"? It was odd.

 

yes

 

Only if they are unlapping themselves

 

little late commentators talked about it. It wasn’t in reference to using full wets, but wherever he should have started with different set of inters. They might have been used from qualifying or maybe he was on the used and wanted to start with new? But they said it was in reference to that. He was struggling to get temp into that set and they just have had a convo about them prior.

 

The race helped me solidify my dislike of Russel. He’s brilliant as a driver, but his personality rubs me. When he called out mick on radio for “racing like it’s for world title” near end of race. Does Russel just want everyone to move over for him? Come on. Poor comment.

 

Yea, I liked him at Williams for always have a great outlook and attitude in interviews even though he was at the worst team. But now, he’s just becoming a whiny brat. Like when he ran right into Mick and then blamed him for it

Side note. I recently got rid of YouTube TV which was the Sky Sports crew and am now watching on F1 TV. They are way less biased to LH & GR and Joylon tends to say it like it is. Much better commentary imo

 

Thanks. I was reading conflicting stories on full-wets or new/used inters. Full-wets would have been a weird call.

 

I agree. Much better crew.....except for Buxton.

 

Yeh Buxton is very....something.

 

I think I like Buxton more than Laura Winter, no homo. He’s a goof, but he is a good contrast to the rest of the team.

 

I don’t mind Buxton so much, but he can definitely get annoying after a while lol. I think I’m just used to it from all the F1 YouTube stuff I’ve watched with him in it over the years.

 

Anyone in here close-ish to Austin and want to go to the race? My wife isn't able to go now so I have an extra 3 day pass. Figured I'd offer it up in here before going through the Ticketmaster selling route. You'd need to purchase parking, but the three day pass is $500 (T15 Grandstands). Will give a $100 TW discount!

 

The F1 TV commentators dgaf and are willing to roast anyone that is deserving. It's honestly hilarious.

 

This Toto Wolff overspend thing is crazy. Now the spotlight is on him as to where he got this info that nobody outside FIA seems to have. Does not seem like the "word on the street" or "common knowledge" excuses are going to fly.

 

Yea, I dig it. When Russell complained about Mick not giving him enough space they were like “um, no mate, you ran right into him”

 

Well they were right on that..lol

 

Yep!
