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

[nani_s23]

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.

[SFTifoso]

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.

[SilverSpeed]

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

[Gilles]

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

[Galvonero]

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.

[nani_s23]

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?

This one I'm currently using, seems good ya

[stefa]

Let's harwest some good points!!!

[Tifoso Svedese]

Nothing crazy please. Tomorrow is way more important and a P20 on the grid for that would be terrible.

[tifosi1993]

Good start

[Greig]

Go Charles :-D

[SilverSpeed]

YEAH P1!!!!!!!!!!

[458 Italia]

Amazing start!!!

[bogs1207]

P1 good start!

[458 Italia]

Hear that roar from the crowd!!!

[Aziz]

safety car

[SilverSpeed]

Coast to the finish now please and no rain!

[stefa]

SC, bummer

[jgonzalesm6]

Leclerc got a good start off the line........P1

[stefa]

My God that Ferrari is bouncing

[jgonzalesm6]

That F1-75 in the hands of Leclerc is gone.

Sainz taking up spaces....P7 currently.

[458 Italia]

Why did Haas go on mediums!?

[jgonzalesm6]

Leclerc has this.

[tifosi1993]

The F1-75 shoots out like a rocket out of the last corner.

[jgonzalesm6]

Mercedes is nowhere in this sprint.

[458 Italia]

Go Carlos!

[JChan]

can CS catch NOR for 8 laps?

[jgonzalesm6]

Sainz up to P5 now.

[458 Italia]

What lap does Red Bull go boom boom? :-D

[Greig]

Red Bull looking quick

[stefa]

CL is not running away from MV

[stefa]

Red Bull looking quick

Quite worrying

[Greig]

Looks like we are done for here.

[458 Italia]

Mick overtook Vettel.

[elnano14]

5/6 Ferrari engine cars in top 10

[SilverSpeed]

Max in DRS yikes....

[stefa]

Doesn't look good

[SilverSpeed]

DRS again WAY to powerfull pfff

[totox]

K2 plus for Charles pleaaaaseeee

[stefa]

I thought this track will suit Ferrari 110%

[458 Italia]

Shouldn't be graining this much in clean air!

[Greig]

Cmon Charles hold it!!!

[stefa]

CS P4

[SilverSpeed]

Tyres are gone, Max is struggling too.

[stefa]

Damn it!

[Greig]

Damn

[stefa]

We burned

[Greig]

How have we trashed our tyres so much???

[JChan]

it's ok CL its just 1 point less!

[stefa]

anticlimax

[458 Italia]

Balls

[stefa]

How have we trashed our tyres so much???

This is really worrying

[SilverSpeed]

pffffffffffffffff

[jgonzalesm6]

Dammit!!

[stefa]

Than again this is the same car from Barcelona test

[totox]

This graning doesn't bode well for tomorrow

[gump1480]

This is really worrying

Poor setup...i hate this sprint race weekends.

[DJTaurus]

Max pulling away easily. We supposedly had better tyre wear.

[JChan]

jus Fight back tomorrow CL, its a 7 points difference between 1 and 2.

[stefa]

Car is bouncing so much

[bogs1207]

Our degration is not good.

[ntukza]

Oh no.

[tifosi1993]

The Red Bull was better on it's tyres. But P2 and P4. 7+5 = 12 more points.

[458 Italia]

Our degration is not good.

I don't understand why though!

[jgonzalesm6]

Poor setup...i hate this sprint race weekends.

The rain yesterday did'nt help me thinks.

[patrese86]

Unlucky that. Carlos made a good gain today and will help from P4 tomorrow. Looks like we are just a bit too harsh on the tyres round here. Think it's all to play for tomorrow though

[jgonzalesm6]

Sainz did okay......P4 is good.

[Tifoso Svedese]

I think it's the cold track temperatures that make sure Red Bull are able to do what they do. That being said, high fuel on medium tyres are completely different things in comparison. However, Charles definitely needs a new floor and engine for Miami.

[SilverSpeed]

Perez almost caught us too.

[PURE PASSION]

They will destroy us in the race with our troubles with the tires

[jgonzalesm6]

1 point lost to Max....no biggie.

[Aziz]

They are faster, much faster

[DJTaurus]

Tomorrow the predictions are rain after half part of the race.

[stefa]

They will destroy us in the race with our troubles with the tires

If it is going to be like this, yes

[JChan]

what can we ask for CL?

bahrain P1 P1
saudi P2 P2
aus P1 P1
italy P2 even P2 is good

[stefa]

Kinda disappointing here

[tifosi1993]

Here comes the overreactions. This season is over I tell you! :rotfl

[totox]

Soft aren't the best tires for the race. Let's see tomorrow with mediums

[patrese86]

They will destroy us in the race with our troubles with the tires

If that's the case then we need to make sure we limit the damage but you don't know how we will perform on harder compounds.

We still don't bring any major upgrades and look strong.

[KingCharles]

2nd and 4th still gives us options

[nani_s23]

Here comes the overreactions. This season is over I tell you! :rotfl

It’s like a home GP. Hence the disappointment will be there.

I think Ferrari needs to bring some upgrades. Look at top speed of RB.

[DJTaurus]

Max probably told lec. You had problem with the tyres ?

[Kyss4k]

I don't get it... last race we dominated with the tyre treatment, today Redbull schooled us with it. How is that possible? Really disappointed losing the win in the last lap. Oh well, that's the price you pay when racing a car with no development I guess. Hopefully after the updates come it will be worth it.

[tifosi1993]

It’s like a home GP. Hence the disappointment will be there.

I think Ferrari needs to bring some upgrades. Look at top speed of RB.

Yup. Enough waiting around. The car is very good. But they need to put some major upgrades. I think they had more enough time to learn the car.

[PURE PASSION]

It's not all over for sure, just thing's (like tire management) that supposedly was our characteristic suddenly charged hear, and this make you think what else can change. Well let's hope for the best!!!

[jgonzalesm6]

It’s like a home GP. Hence the disappointment will be there.

I think Ferrari needs to bring some upgrades. Look at top speed of RB.

Porpoising is definitely an issue on straight line.....this needs to be fixed.

[ferrari4life]

so we cant change setup for tommorow?
wth happed to all our pace from AUS?

[458 Italia]

Oh well onto the boxing �� here's hoping Ferrari come out swinging tomorrow as well.

[JChan]

It’s like a home GP. Hence the disappointment will be there.

I think Ferrari needs to bring some upgrades. Look at top speed of RB.

We just don't know how MV push his engine harder for 21 laps, tomorrow he gonna push hard for 63 laps? maybe it will not last for his driving style. 84 laps for 2 straight days pushing hard.

[jgonzalesm6]

so we cant change setup for tommorow?
wth happed to all our pace from AUS?

No, parc ferme rules. (to your first question)

[Tifoso Svedese]

The track temperatures are so low just like in Jeddah and that's why Red Bull had no degradation there. We've yet to see 40 degrees or above on any track this season bar Melbourne but that's going to be the norm going forward.

To win tomorrow Charles has to stay ahead of the other Red Bull at the start and then use the mediums well.

[nani_s23]

Porpoising is definitely an issue on straight line.....this needs to be fixed.

Yup can’t go with basic car every race. Since 4 races drivers are struggling with such issue.
I heard somewhere RB reduced their car weight to further 10kg less & ferrari to 5kg less.

It’s race of development/upgrades & reliability.

[nhiepka]

CL said his front left tyre had problem.

[tifosi1993]

The F1-75 is very good on tyres in general. I think it a was setup issue on Charles's car. It happens. Sainz had a good pace and didn't suffer any graining.

Tomorrow is a different story. Mediums and Hards are the tyres for tomorrow's race.

[jgonzalesm6]

Russell P11 and Lewis P14.....where's the skills and talent of a 7x WDC title holder????? Crofty??? Kravitz????

The young gun is showing up Lewis.

[stefa]

[tifosi1993]

Russell P11 and Lewis P14.....where's the skills and talent of a 7x WDC title holder????? Crofty??? Kravitz????

Not that surprising. Hamilton is getting older and Russell is much younger with a big learning curve ahead. It happens all the time, with Alonso being the only exception. Age doesn't seem to affect him one bit.

[JChan]

Russell P11 and Lewis P14.....where's the skills and talent of a 7x WDC title holder????? Crofty??? Kravitz????

still out of Q3. Merc is good for Q2 only lucky to go for Q1.

[nani_s23]

Russell P11 and Lewis P14.....where's the skills and talent of a 7x WDC title holder????? Crofty??? Kravitz????

It’s just Lewis can’t handle midfield car. Gets beaten easily.

[jgonzalesm6]

Not that surprising. Hamilton is getting older and Russell is much younger with a big learning curve ahead. It happens all the time, with Alonso being the only exception. Age doesn't seem to affect him one bit.

+1

[tifosi1993]

So,

Charles 78 + Carlos 38 = 116

Perez 36 + Max 33 = 69

Russell 37 + Lewis 28 = 65

[jgonzalesm6]

It’s just Lewis can’t handle midfield car. Gets beaten easily.

agreed. He's a spoiled diva.

[jgonzalesm6]

Where is that Brazil 2021 god like drive?! Oh wait... IT WAS JUST A CAR!!!!

+1000

[nani_s23]

So,

Charles 78 + Carlos 38 = 116

Perez 36 + Max 33 = 69

Russell 37 + Lewis 28 = 65

Tomorrow will be interesting. Top4 max vs lec vs Perez vs Sainz. It’s complete RB vs Ferrari.
One who keep their tyres alive will benefit by the looking at today’s sprint.

[ferrari4life]

Result was pretty good with CS up to 4. Thought I heard them say p2 starting line is better than p1 is that right?
any idea why our tire wear was worse today. Gonna suck since we cant change setup for tomorrow. Forget MV we will loose out to SP as well.

ps.. really have no idea why we have to scroll though a bunch of comments about merc and ham to read anything of substance in this thread. Let it go..enjoy our strength this year and hope for victory for us

[tifosi1993]

+1000

But it's always the car. Do you think average F1 fans with their low attention span would've realized how special Charles actually is without the F1-75? The answer is no. Many even thought Carlos to be better than Charles.

A great driver will always flourish in a great car.

No idea why, maybe our setup is for medium and hard or intern, RB is for aggressive set up for soft and wet to catch up that 46 points behind and we all know RB engine gonna smoke again for 63 laps of hard driving tomorrow. another theory that 10 kilos less just help (RB) them catch us up.

[nani_s23]

Sainz saying he was also facing front tyre graining issue.

[ferrari4life]

How many stops tomorrow?

a few comments ago someone said med and hard for race tommorow

[tifosi1993]

Ofcourse it’s always the car. But for me Alonso is exception from this.

Alonso is a different breed. Age, bad cars, bad weathers nothing seem to stop him. Guy is probably the closest thing to the "Perfect" F1 driver.

In current grid both Charles and Max are quite like Alonso. Both have Alonso's amazing adaptability.

[nani_s23]

Probably ferrari went for M-H Race set up tomorrow. It might change tomorrow, fingers crossed.
But important note is RB getting on top of their issues race by race. Except engine :-D

[JChan]

guys don't be sad it's a just less now, maybe tomorrow 7 points less if MV gonna finish the race, but we don't have the upgrade we need for 4 races while Rb have already use an upgrade with unreliable engine.

[jgonzalesm6]

That's mostly the case. Alonso still show's signs of driver excellence in a not so great car. Leclerc as well and Max too. Perez has been very consistent in whatever car he has but he isn't up to Leclerc's or Max's level. Gasly as well.

Give the driver's I mentioned a top car and your statement is 100% true.

Vettel.....give me a break!!!! It was 100% the car.

[Gilles]

The F1-75 is very good on tyres in general. I think it a was setup issue on Charles's car. It happens. Sainz had a good pace and didn't suffer any graining.

Tomorrow is a different story. Mediums and Hards are the tyres for tomorrow's race.

I agree, this graining was unexpected and the car was good so far
As Max said, tomorrow with other compounds could be a different race, who knows, especially with rain
The important thing is not to give points, and a victory is always very possible

[tifosi1993]

How many stops tomorrow?

One stop. But with SC and VSC, could be 2 stops. Weather could also play a big part.

[458 Italia]

Where's that image from 2005 of a single Bridgestone runner in the top 10 in a sea of Michelin tyres...

[stefa]

This is fourth race in a calendar with lounch spec car. Which is good givem the results so far. I really do hope Ferrari has some upgardes in pipeline

[nani_s23]

Alonso is a different breed. Age, bad cars, bad weathers nothing seem to stop him. Guy is probably the closest thing to the "Perfect" F1 driver.

In current grid both Charles and Max are quite like Alonso. Both have Alonso's amazing adaptability.

Alonso races for different teams & came out on top most of the times.

Want to see Max driving for other team & see if he still maintain that speed. Why I was pointing out is, Vet at RB flourished/RIC at RB flourished. We saw their performance away from RB car. At TR, Carlos or someone I don’t remember exactly outqualified max. Correct me if I’m wrong.

[458 Italia]

This is fourth race in a calendar with lounch spec car. Which is good givem the results so far. I really do hope Ferrari has some upgardes in pipeline

We know the upgrades are ready, just that they haven't been delivered yet. We have a great car, hope we don't get out developed during the season is all.

Yup, scoring points should be the goal. Ferrari will win many races this year but finishing on points and staying out of troubles will make the difference in the end.

I will take P2 and P4 over DNF any day everyday.

[Cavallino]

a wet setup will chew through your dry tyres faster, and the Red fools couldn't come within 1 second of Ferrari in the first practice session.

i for one want it to rain, because the people at Sky will think as soon as it rains, Max and Lewis are going to be storming to the front. I can't wait to hear them when Ferrari is 30 seconds out in front.

[Kyss4k]

We know the upgrades are ready, just that they haven't been delivered yet. We have a great car, hope we don't get out developed during the season is all.

Well so far we are getting outdeveloped hard. We just have to hope it is a plan which will help us in the long run.

Agree..!! That RB engine will certainly blow up at some point again.

[ferrari4life]

Well so far we are getting outdeveloped hard. We just have to hope it is a plan which will help us in the long run.

I think I will wait till after the race to make that determination. No reason to sacrifice the race for the sprint setup. Flip side is RB is under more pressure to make up ground so would not be surprised if they are the ones taking the risks

[jgonzalesm6]

i for one want it to rain, because the people at Sky will think as soon as it rains, Max and Lewis are going to be storming to the front. I can't wait to hear them when Ferrari is 30 seconds out in front.

SkyF1 won't give Ferrari coverage IF Ferrari pulls out 30 seconds out in front. SkyF1 will cover the mid-field action.

OOOOOHHHHHH but if it was Lewis out in front by 30 seconds, they'll cover that....just like 2014 thru 2020.

The bias is obvious.

[Tifoso Svedese]

Yeah like Gilles said, degradation itself wasn't that bad it was just that the green track for some reason caused our car to grain the softs after Charles did a dozen very even laps with Verstappen and in the DRS era when you run more wing than the guy behind you don't get away with that. I think had it been 25 air temp and 40 on the surface with a rubbered-in track, the shoe would've been on the other foot. The good news for us is that Miami will have conditions warmer than Melbourne and from Barcelona onwards it's summer afternoons wherever the races are. Cold track conditions are a randomizer - remember how Vettel almost beat Hamilton to win in Canada in 2016 from nowhere?

[ferrari4life]

temps slightly warmed for race tommorow. you saying thats better? assume track is rubbered in well by now. unless it rains

[Cavallino]

temps slightly warmed for race tommorow. you saying thats better? assume track is rubbered in well by now. unless it rains

it's gonna rain

[TTRSMAD]

The DRS is very powerful around Imola. The Red Bull is very fast with DRS. I have a feeling that our set up is not for dry weather. Ferrari can only defend in the DRS if the tires stay in good shape.
Tomorrow is all about having the right strategy and playing with our strength knowing what happened today.

[Gilles]

As I said a few days ago, RB could go faster than us
They had the wrong setup in Australia, but their car is close to ours
We have enough points to take the time to develop the car as well as possible
There's no point in spending it all right away to be mid-season champions and then lose because out of money
As a bad part has the same cost as a good one, let's take the time it takes to have the best car for the second half of the season
We just have to be patient and not shout if our advantage is eroding a little

[wisepie]

Pretty annoying seeing Max sweep past like that, DRS is very strong and Charles and Carlos both suffered with graining, suppose it was the warmest part of the weekend so far and dry. Charles was on it from the start but only lost 1pt to Max, Carlos redeemed himself in P4, we need to be perfect with strategy/tyres tomorrow depending on weather and doubtless one or two SC interruptions. Don't like the sprint format much, but it was entertaining until the last couple of laps!

[Gilles]

Hope we didn't tune the car wrong like RB did in Australia
This time, tomorrow rain could be the reason why, so let's see

[KingCharles]

I think RB is about to start their charge - time to put our big boy pants on and Sainz to step the ****up. Thank God Max had that 2 DNF otherwise it would have been only 2 points difference if Max wins tomorrow. It's not over by a looooooooooooooong shot.

[ferrari4life]

Is rain likely? Thought I read it's not the case anymore

[paolo lalli]

Race 4 no upgrades for ferrari and still at the pointy end with money in the bank.Red bull upgrades already with a fading budget, red bull have spent a bomb just getting max partly back in the game,the season is long and the development strategy must be planned perfectly or you will be left with your pants down and no cash.

The goal is to get your car as fast as possible in the quickest possible time. There is zero need to hold back - it's utterly pointless. It's not like there are new regs coming.

You forgot the budget cap
We cannot bring as many evolutions as we want this year
We might as well work on them to make them as efficient as possible, and give us a lasting advantage and not just in the short term

[nani_s23]

Mb confirmed they are already running at full power. There’s no holding back & concern of reliability.

[Alonsomaniac]

I don't know what is faster, 1 or 2 stops.
1 stop: Medium - Hard ( safe )
2 stops: Soft - medium - soft (in that case you would have a strong start and a strong last stint. But I also don't know if Charles still has 2 sets of softs)

[Tony]

Well so far we are getting outdeveloped hard. We just have to hope it is a plan which will help us in the long run.

Careful, anyone that has brought developments already has eaten through their budget, meaning less development over the remainder of the season.

We just have to hope whatever updates Ferrari brings will work as intended.

This is not 2021 anymore...

[patrese86]

The goal is to get your car as fast as possible in the quickest possible time. There is zero need to hold back - it's utterly pointless. It's not like there are new regs coming.

No, the goal is to get your car to perform well at every track and if Red Bull have eaten through there budget cap early just to achieve some sort of parity then we are in a good situation. Anyhow who am I kidding, we finished second in the sprint race so we are clearly doomed for the season ahead.

[SilverSpeed]

Sainz already said we have got a better car in the windtunnel atm so figures must be good.

[scudieros]

Always maximizing the points, with degradation issues we managed to still get decent points. Good thing is we don't have to race this tyre so should be ok. A little worrying though that even with the safety car we didn't have much grip towards the end. Hopefully we understand the issues so we can react quickly and understand what happened.

[Aziz]

Sainz already said we have got a better car in the windtunnel atm so figures must be good.

And still no updates, RB brought updates to every race

[WS6TransAm01]

Can’t lie, I’m disappointed I wanted Charles to take the win.

Oh well. The real race is tomorrow.

[Gilles]

Apparently, they say they were aware of the risk of graining, that Charles had to widen the gap twice with Max and that's what caused it
They said they don't see the graining happening again tomorrow with the other compounds and the race will be tight and more of a game of strategy, which is why they're happy with Carlos' fourth-place finish

[KingCharles]

If Max is ahead after T1 we must use the undercut. The only fear I have is that the team never makes the first call. Or better still we could force Max's hand and pit Sainz first and keep Charles out longer for 7+ laps and let Sainz get the undercut before Max reacts.

If Max reacts then lets hope Sainz is ahead and ruins Max tyres...

This is the race we NEED Sainz to deliver. He needs to clear Perez at the start. and stay within 2 secs of the leaders to force the undercut.

[ferrari4life]

Do we have any actual reports of RB updates?
Are we just going conservative with our setup for this race? Cant imagine we are that far down from our AUS dominance.
And isnt CS supposed to have a better spec engine as well?

[faloupas]

Happy with second place.Happy with fourth place.Damage limitation for tomorrow as Red Bull seems to be infront in this track.

[SFTifoso]

Seem kinda weird that our pace just fell off so suddenly. Did Ferrari think it would be better to start in the p2 spot on the grid?

[nani_s23]

#AMus With the cars remaining in parc fermé until the main race, the question remains whether Charles will have the same problems on Sunday.

Binotto: "There are ways to fix that with the permitted interventions."

e.g. with the aero balance, tyre pressure or the brake cooling.

[nani_s23]

AMus The sprint confirmed that the second Red Bull aero upgrade was successful and might have closed the gap to Ferrari.

Marko: "It did what we expected. Now we still have the weight factor on our side. The Ferrari is quite bit lighter than our car."

[Ferrarichamp]

so we might get some rain, maybe SC and things could really shake up.
the midfielders will be hoping for a lucky win.
