2022 Brazilian Grand Prix - Practice, Qualifying & Sprint Qualifying Thread

Sainz sends it on Max, bit of contact.

[SilverSpeed]

All da time time you hava to leava da space Max...

[Greig]

Max down to P4.

[Greig]

Sainz says tyres going.

[stefa]

Aweful pace

[stefa]

CL invisible

[Greig]

P2 and P6, Merc will be strong tomorrow and Carlos is too weak to race them.

[patrese86]

Meh.

Leclerc was actually closing a bit on Perez so maybe he was managing his tyres early on. Gives me a slither of hope that he can do something tomorrow.

[Greig]

Oh forgot Sainz has a penalty.....

[Schumiklub]

Oh forgot Sainz has a penalty.....

Charles is our only hope for tomorrow. He managed the tires well. He would have passed Perez if he had had a few more laps.

[nani_s23]

Mercs are back ?? This is how you develop the car. They found root cause & now picking up race by race.

[nani_s23]

Tomorrow gonna be epic duel

Russel vs Ham vs Max vs Perez vs Leclerc -> Top5

[nani_s23]

I feel max will win tomorrow. He has much more pace on Softs than mediums.

I also think than. And Ferrari will be nowhere

[Greig]

Wonder if the Red Bull fans are frothing with rage at them starting Max on the mediums?

[nani_s23]

Yeah they will play with Charles on the strategy.

He had damage & still finished 4th. Which mean 3rd tmrw & still has the potential to win tmrw given their quick strategies & pace.

What about our Ferrari car?

Not such great strategy today though, our car has not been developed any more not sure why you find it a shock still?

Developing the car is not anymore a problem for me.

I’m scared of Ferrari strategists now. First our basics should be right ya?

Imagine if Leclerc qualified higher & this sprint race between Mercs vs RB vs Ferrari.

It could have been leclerc leading the race today & tmrw.

Ah so only counts if its Charles for you?

Charles started right with a Merc and Red Bull also you know.....

[ferrari1.8t]

Utter failure from Ferrari this year. Mercedes took a tractor and found nearly 2 seconds. We took a race winning car and went backwards; instead of battling for wins, we are battling with which tires to put on. I’m all for stability, but changes need to be made. This is unacceptable.

I have zero confidence for next year. It will be a fight between Merc and RedBull while we figure out ways to screw Charles even more.

Sainz will not match Ham/Max & leclerc

When was it ever developed? Or when have our developments worked?

[Greig]

When was it ever developed? Or when have our developments worked?

Seemed to be working pretty well up till Spa.....

[nani_s23]

Why there wasn’t black & white flag for Max on his FW damage?

I assume Haas got penalty last race or so for the same?

[SS454]

Probably because it fell off almost immediately.

Then our leaders should have pushed back against the TD. They knew what it would do to us, yet Binotto still denies it.

[jgonzalesm6]

Max ran with the mediums during the sprint race today so he can have an extra set of softs tomorrow.

Expect a masterclass strategy from Hannah Schmitz at tomorrows race.

Does Carlos get a 5 place penalty. Let's hope it's not 10 place!!!!!
