F1 - 2022 Season

Rule change coming for the Belgian GP to address the flexing issue. I don't know enough to know how much of a change it will make. @longers will probably have a better idea

Ah, it was originally the French, but I've googled and its been delayed to the Belgian GP as you've mentioned.

My mate was suggesting that the block, at points, flexed way more than the 2mm that was allowed at the measure points. This was meant to produce drag.

He sad that the measurement will be across the block, which will mean that Red Bull (amongst others) may not get the grip they've been able to produce.

Supposedly, the manufactures have started to make adjustments so it's not one big chance when required.

great news, comfortably one of the best tracks in the world, wonderful elevation changes galore

First steps towards Danny Ric getting yeeted at the end of the year ?

They just signed Palou as well who is top talent and won the Indycar championship last year

 

[longers]

Be mad to see him and Danny Ric switch series

Impressive levels of carnage at the end, not seen weather change that quickly in a long time

I remember the 1993 race there.

Uh.. not convinced about it myself. It's tight and twisty, not well suited to modern F1.
Liberty just wanting to expand its global base so having a race in Africa is a box ticking exercise.

Shouldn’t laugh but the replays of that corner when about 4 cars just went straight off and only 1 managed the corner was like a comedy sketch haha

Toto Wolff Says Red Bull, Ferrari Dominance Makes F1 Boring This Season

It's an amusing statement from the head of the team that won eight constructors championships in a row.

I like Toto but it’s a ridiculous comment

Tbf it's not right letting Horner monopolise the ridiculous comment chart.

Ferrari looks the much quicker car again.

Shame that both cars won’t survive the weekend without blowing up though.

Sainz is almost certainly starting from the back of the grid due to engine penalties. And Ferrari seem worried about Red Bull’s race pace too which seemed to be quicker than theirs.

I thought red bull looked good going into Sunday last race then the Ferrari was smashing it. Hard to get a proper read in practice sessions to be honest. Hopefully we get a good fight. Maybe Ferrari get pole but like you said max will have the better race pace.

Temperature is fairly warm over there still so interesting to see if it has any affect on the tyres on Sunday.

Lewis said he thought it was unlikely anyone will be able to 1 stop due to tyre degradation so that adds another dynamic. Hopefully Charles takes pole tomorrow as I worry if Max gets it he will just cruise it
