2022 Dutch Grand Prix - Race Thread

[Greig]

Did Red Bull just ask Max what tyres he wants.....strange that.

[stefa]

At the beginning of the season we ware all yes, we go for CWC and WDC, laughing at Mercedes, and now slap on the face! Not only we don't even have a chance a shoot at the championship, we are going to be 3rd at the end!!!
GREAT JOB!!!

"no one's talked about Ferrari" yeah coz we're crap.

[WS6TransAm01]

I don't think it's just the cost cap. I think Ferrari got caught out with the TD as well.

If you ignore the cap like RBR clearly did with constant upgrades and even a new chassis you can work around the TD.

If Ferrari were to try to push the cost cap then they would get caught. The team hasnt even brought any upgrades in a long time. We are clearly the 3rd fastest race car. We should have started atleast one of the cars on mediums.

RBR haven’t been caught. Pretty sure Merc is ignoring the stupidity of the cost cap as well.

I thought RBR didnt bring a new chassis.
That said, Ferrari have definitely brought way fewer upgrades than RB or Merc.

For the love of god, pit Sainz for Hards and try them out

[458 Italia]

They really haven't got a clue on the pit wall have they?

[drax]

Safety Car pit now, pit now

[SB92]

For the love of god, pit Sainz for Hards and try them out

Not much point pitting for hards at the end of the 2nd stint. Both cars have a spare set of fresh softs, if im not mistaken?

That pitwall is nor smart enough for that.

Xavier telling Charles we are aiming for P4.

Very good recovery by Ferrari

[patrese86]

Surely get Charles in?

Never mind, not a safety car after all

[stefa]

It's improvement from last time!

[458 Italia]

Dream team!

[drax]

Ffs now we get the safety car

[Greig]

This is all very suspicious.....

[458 Italia]

This isn't weird at all...

[TonyRizza]

Definitely cheating

[WS6TransAm01]

This isn't weird at all...

Yeah. Red Bull jr team with some shenanigans to help the parent team?

[Greig]

VSC has really helped Red Bull there.....their super duper strategy team had got Max from P1 to P3.....

[drax]

Yes a lot of problems, but we cannot get a break luck wise

[nani_s23]

This is how champions team reach & play strategy.
Great from Mercs

[gump1480]

Yes a lot of problems, but we cannot get a break luck wise

Didn't look like luck....very shady there by Alfa Tauri

[SB92]

Its just the team. There was zero reason to not try out different tyre compounds for the two cars. And Sainz's pitstop got horribly botched as well.

[jgonzalesm6]

Please note.....Mercedes pitted 2 cars (double stacked) faster than Ferrari pitted Sainz.

[Whatsyourangle]

Can't wait for Binotto to get fired. Really, the guy is an awful team boss.

I doubt it, since the championship is all but wrapped up. We shouldnt insinuate about other team's cheating when Ferrari cant even get a basic pitstop right.

[elnano14]

Sainz gonna be eaten alive by Lando and Nando. ****ing disaster

[drax]

Charles is loosing a ton of time

[SB92]

Can't wait for Binotto to get fired. Really, the guy is an awful team boss.

He should have been fired in 2020. He is the worst TP we have had in decades. Atleast with Domenicali and Arrivabene, we fought for multiple championships.
