Surprised at those numbers but this circuit will allow for passing. I may sprinkle a little on Alonso +4000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hongbit Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 Any optimism coming off the break from Mercedes ended immediately after being 1.8 behind RB. Lewis sounding very despondent and finally sounds like they have thrown in the towel on winning this season. If they were smart (which they are), they will take the advantage that Ferrari did this season and focus all new efforts on next years car. Now watch them win today. Lol.

Deleterious Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Perez is about to finish second and Max will be 18 seconds ahead of him. Pure dominance by Max today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every driver on the grid has been caught saying something dumb during the heat of the race. Emotions run high and especially so for someone that hasn’t won a race in almost 10 years. It’s probably best that he wasn’t caught sharing what he really feels about Lewis since that would’ve gotten him canceled and been the last time Fernando ever stepped foot in a race car.

Hongbit Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) Big props to RB strategy for taking penalties and still going 1-2. That’s a great move. As for this race, fans complain about circuits without passing opportunities and we finally get to one with many opportunities and it turns into one of the more unexciting races of the season. 🤷♂️ Edited August 28, 2022 by Hongbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleterious Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I didn't even notice Charles received a 5 second penalty and feel to sixth from fifth. Sounds like that tear off that got lodged in his car caused a sensor failure. That caused him to speed in the pits and receive the 5 second penalty.

Deleterious Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Makes sense that the car maker would be more influential than the energy drink. People would basically view Red Bull as a title sponsor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hongbit Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) Interesting race. Merc was in a tough spot. Their best chance to win was to tell George to stay out and try to buffer Max, but that strategy was going to be slim odds anyway. Max was going to catch them on softs either way. I am curious to understand what happened to Yuki. It was a perfectly timed VSC for Red Bull from a mysterious issue that never seemed to show itself from their junior team. Very convenient.

Deleterious Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Max was always going to win. Russell possibly/probably cost Lewis a podium finish. But Max was always going to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleterious Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Max has 10 wins this year. On the broadcast they said 13 is the single season record. With 7 races left he has a great shot at breaking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleterious Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Giallo Modena is the name of Ferrari yellow. Rosso Corso is the typical red you see on their street cars. Rosso F1-75 Opaco is the name of red on this years F1 car which you can also order on a street car. Anyway, people have started to speculate about a special yellow livery this weekend. I don't see it personally but it could be cool. I think they just wanted to sell another $90 T-Shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleterious Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Eh, if you cant win you might as well look good. They are off to an inauspicious start to the weekend. The trailer hauling engines overheated and needed some attention from local fire crews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleterious Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) I like the wing but the rest is underwhelming. Someone did post a pic of a time where Ferrari did go all yellow. It was the 1961 Belgium GP. Edited September 7, 2022 by Deleterious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleterious Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Now I get the push for yellow. My uneducated guess? They will push the Purosangue as a yellow vehicle to differentiate the SUV from their sports cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
