2022 Spanish Grand Prix - Race Thread

[Tifoso Svedese]

If unit two already blew up on Leclerc and Bottas they'll need six or seven. Pathetic.

[Tifoso Svedese]

Sainz is beating CL? Do circumstances to both matter or only with one?

Russell has driven like a lion all weekend, come on now Hamilton fanboy can't you admit that?

[jgonzalesm6]

Poor Hamilton, getting beat by Russell again.

Russell is definietly better than this so-called 7x WDC that the media and some British were raving over the past 8 years to include the commentators.

[MSC Fan]

Ocon and Tsunoda are looking impressive in this race.

[PURE PASSION]

And the most frustrating thing is that this would be a PERFECT win / weekend. Fastest in all sessions, pole,win ,Fastest Lap ,not loosing the lead (grand slam)and the fastest pit stop ???

[nani_s23]

I'm on the edge having a stroke, BUT I chose to try and take some positives out of this disaster.
Lec had the best race pace !!!! Faster and with no degradation!!!! Everything else.......

I would say 50-50, because of Max spin. It was not evident.

Look at Max on Softs pace, he’s absolutely flying. On the other side I feel leclerc was managing race by saving tyres.

I don't get the trolls here. Upgrades that Ferrari brought worked, Charles-F175 combo is the fastest and fixed all the tyre deg of previous races. What happened today was equally heartbreaking and annoying, but it will happen.

The F1-75 isn't invincible but it is the fastest. And at the end of the day, the fastest Car-Driver combo will always win the championship.

[ferrari1.8t]

Yeah, being barged out on lap one is real lucky


What is wrong with you people

We finally have strong car, a phenomenal driver….had a good start today, pulled away and built a nice gap and we end of DNF’ing….frustrating is all. Merc had 8 years of ease, waiting for our time I guess; thought this would be the year. With every race that dream slips away…So gutted today.

Indeed maybe they would rather we are running midfield instead of fighting for title win.

[nani_s23]

I can’t see this race anymore. . Will be back for next race.

Last 3 races were disappointing for us. We need some luck.

Russell has been beating him all season, poor Hamilton.

[Greig]

Sainz up to p6

[evo_spook]

Russell has driven like a lion all weekend, come on now Hamilton fanboy can't you admit that?

He won in qualifying by 0.1 Lewis has had faster race pace. I wanted CL to win and also get the WDC this year, but I like Lewis, so I don't like the hate showning just because of who he is, it is distasteful and disturbing, thankgully, I am better then that type of shameful behaviour, we all don't have to get into the gutter.

Problem is reliability hitting us this time & Penalty coming in later part of the season. So we are on the back foot a little bit.

[drax]

Perez, Max is faster than you

[SilverSpeed]

Max gifted the win oh oh oh pfff.

[Tifoso Svedese]

Bunch of w-nkers the lot of them Fool Fools.

yep

[JChan]

max 7pts lead come on MONACO!

[Red is Best]

Gutted, but it happened twice to Verstappen, the season is still very long and the updates seem to be working very well.
As for Carlos, the team should really consider getting Bottas in the second car if the spaniard's form doesn't drastically improve by mid-season. He is costing us too many points.

[jgonzalesm6]

Perez, Max is faster than you

Max on fresher tires. Perez thinks its unfair.

[MSC Fan]

Carlos really needs to step it up ASAP. Any more mistakes/underperforming and we will slowly but surely slip out of contention of the WCC. I hope this spin in his home GP doesn't destroy his confidence even more. It's embarrassing watching such a great car's potential be wasted like that.

[ferrari1.8t]

Perez should pull a Rosberg and take Max out as he try’s to pass…

[PURE PASSION]

I would say 50-50, because of Max spin. It was not evident.

Look at Max on Softs pace, he’s absolutely flying. On the other side I feel leclerc was managing race by saving tyres.

Well I saw the pace on full fuel on softs on 50°. This should be the worst case scenario for us from what we have seeing in previous races.And Lec was tenth by tenth faster then Ves and kept his tires for 22 laps !!!!! I'm pretty sure he had the edge over Ves !!!

Good points

[Aziz]

Ricc doing well ain't he

max 7pts lead come on MONACO!

3rd win in a row... And a lot of people here are saying we are the fastest

[nani_s23]

Another problem is Carlos Sainz performance.
Look at Perez, he blocked Leclerc at imola & now in P2. He’s doing wt RB & Max wanted.

Sainz need to step up his game else I don’t understand his contract for 2years. But I feel he’s much more stronger than his current form. Not sure whether pressure is taking on him.

[Ferrarichamp]

what's a shame is that Sainz didn't lose his PU instead of Charles, but that's motorsport.

[jgonzalesm6]

Both cars are even steven given the track. F175 is awesome in the corners. RB18B is awesome on the straights.

Both teams need work on reliability whether it's the PU or the DRS.
