2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Buildup, Practice & Qualifying Thread

[stasera]

Quali restored my faith slightly with P3/4 but we know that RB and Merc have better race pace/tyre deg so I'm still expecting Charles and Ferrari to lose both P2s tomorrow. I know I am being pessimistic and that's as far as my faith goes, but if we manage to retain those positions it will feel like a victory.

me when i think that sainz can win us gp until russell hits sainz.

I don’t see Charles holding onto P2 tomorrow but Ferrari still have a chance.

Depends on how much the FIA want to help the Affirmative Action Champion.

This tragedy of a season can’t end soon enough for me.

Yup…. Our tyres will be gone in first 10L.

We should worry abt merc rather than Perez.

We will see.
I still hold on my position that we will loose both 2nd places...

Let's hope we have a bit of luck tomorrow. Goodness knows we could do with it.

@ Ferrari starting 2nd 1/2; it was a matter of who had the better car to race and hopefully finish with rather than which driver was the better.

If this is true lets hope they turn the engine up to max:

From Art:
Ferrari has lost its global chances due to a poor reliability that it is trying to improve in a significant way for next year. It is no longer a mystery that the Maranello power unit has never run at the maximum power level. We are probably talking about 25/30 hp, or 6/7 tenths.
