2022 Emilia Romagna (Imola) GP Thread - Practice, Qualifying and Sprint Qualifying

[PURE PASSION]

Kind of don't like our pace so much. I now that we are heavy on fuel but I expected to be kind of faster. I also read that the team told Lec that the target lap should be around 1.20.8 and he was lapping almost 1s slower . And the others also was on long stints tand they where faster. This is just how it looks ,hope we are heavier or down on power !!!

Yeah, me as well, but I don't think we are 1s slower all of a sudden

Sai keeps making mistakes, Per faster on Medium than Lec on soft

Come on guys, Russell is P1 and Hamilton's 2021 pole lap in stable dry conditions was 1:14.4 so that tells everything about what kind of fuel levels are involved here

Sometimes its not worth explaining really........

In a sprintweekend the FP3 is totally different. In a normal weekend you concentrate on qualy speed, now you concentrate on racepace and tactics.

[Nick Singer]

I may be wrong but, as far as I can see, only Charles, Carlos and Max have done laps under 1.19.0s in the dry. Hopefully normal service (Ferrari dominate and Max breaks down!) will continue.

Don't be surprised if Charles finishes P2 this afternoon. Max will defend as hell and Charles won't risk it all. I hope he will be able to pass Max, but I'm not too sure....

I share your thoughts, better to finish and continue to get points but always extra pressure to deliver the best result on home ground.

If Max finish 1st then CL at 2nd, only a 1 point loss in a sprint race. try to concentrate on race day because it's a 7 point difference between 1-2

Yup. It’s not the end of Charles finishes P2. He can fight tomorrow. So there are 2 chances for him.
What’s important is where does Sainz finish today. If he somehow manages to get P3, then it’s 2 ferrari vs 1 RB tmrw.

That’s the most important thing really. Sainz needs to finish p3-4. And haas needs to jump out of the way when they see him coming.

I thought we should been faster in practise but maybe we where focussing on the race pace.

I think we were working on tire wear, like Max (makes sense with sprint race format WE)
Mercedes was maybe on a performance evaluation of their new diffuser, also it seems to me that the rear of their car was very low

Hi, guys. Any online streaming links that doesn't require a VPN?

[458 Italia]

What was woof woof talking to Sky about? I had it on mute coz I was still watching the football.

[Galvonero]

Regarding the race, I hope Ferrari set a strategy for Carlos to climb up the field, considering he has the upgraded PU, and hope Charles makes a cerebral race, the main goal is to win tomorrow, and today the target should be to collect as much points possible without putting the integrity of the cars at risk.

Lando reports rain in Turn 2 / Turn 3

[nani_s23]

Can someone share live streaming link

[KingCharles]

Confused by many comments here- why are people expecting us to do fast laps when have already done our Quali, am I missing something here? I thought it was about finding the optimum setup for a sprint race and testing the softs for 20 laps.

[Galvonero]

Any streaming links?
