F1 - 2022 Season

Don't agree with that penalty for Russell. Also don't get how Sainz can get away with going off the track and then taking back third at the start.

stewards give leniency on first lap

Some pass that from Leclerc

Trying to work out what way Ferrari are going to bungle this

Hamilton currently matching the Ferraris for pace

I don't fancy this as a 1-stop race. the wear is too high. If Ferrari try it, I think Max will come back at them late on. And a late SC will play right into Verstappen's hands

45 laps is still a VERY long way to go for a final stint. I really hope Leclerc attacks and does a late 2nd stop, otherwise I think Verstappen will hunt him down

 

[evilwebby]

Mercedes pitwork is terrible

 

[evilwebby]

Leclerc eating up the gap. He really should win this easily with that pace advantage, regardless of strategy

 

[evilwebby]

Sainz could get Verstappen too, I reckon

 

[longers]

Hamilton has got a very boring 40 laps ahead of him, will be nice to finally be able to compare his clean air pace to the top guys though

 

[evilwebby]

blimey. not even half distance yet. Leclerc is in full control now.

 

[evilwebby]

Come on Carlos. These are the times where you smell blood and must drive home the advantage.

 

[evilwebby]

Verstappen is rapid again. Will be on the back of Sainz with time to spare at this rate.. it leaves Ferrari with the decision whether to pit again

 

[evilwebby]

The Ferraris aren't fast at all right now. even Hamilton is gaining

 

[evilwebby]

Ferrari definitely gonna pit again.. still 29 laps to go. I reckon they'll run to lap 53-54

 

[evilwebby]

hmm,. that's a bit earlier than I would have guessed. It doesn't leave a huge tyre offset. Max will be serious elbows out this time.
