F1 - 2022 Season

[PhilM]

They’ve come in with a lot of updates and it’s a relatively smooth track so porpoising not as much of an issue. So he could well be competitive for the win but the weather was a bit all over the place and so lots of drivers didn’t get many laps in. I’ll be so happy if he wins this weekend what with it being his home GP and all the awful stuff he’s had to deal with from Piquet. Would be an amazing F-you

Add to that, Sky were doing an analysis of Hamilton's and Verstappen's laps and the consensus was one was far more aggressive, giving a lot, than the other.

It's great to see Lewis pushing towards the front and Silverstone, the track he loves, with an improved car, but sadly I think Red Bull will go up a gear today.

In terms of Pique, he can k'off. F1 should completely shun him from the sport from now on as the interview clearly shows the person he is.

Verstappens first flyer just then points that way.

Aye. Button was saying he may have had less fuel therefore running a simulated qualifying lap, but part of me feels that was him trying to be optimistic.

Max has just knocked even more off his lap, so I think we'll likely see a RB poll unless Lewis can throw out something spectacular and Max drops time.

Verstappen easy pole, he had the best long run pace in FP2 as well.

At least we get the nerds and Ferrari fighting for the places. Should be an interesting battle if Norris or Alonso can get in about it also

Did I ever tell you I can see into the future? Here's me watching qualifying and the race.

The rain will hopefully spice things up a bit

Oooh, the heavens have opened at Siverstone right on top of quali.

Phil, wake up, it's pissing down

Commentators curse and all that jazz. If I say Max will get pole, surely he won't now, right?

Red Bull seem to get their tyres up to temp so quick relative to everyone else

As a layman, I wonder what actually causes it because surely they're turning at a rate that isn't much different than others, so is it grip/down-force?

No idea, seems like Mercedes don't either judging by Russells comments in FP3

Perez absolutely nowhere

 

[PhilM]

Possible shower at the end of Q3, so they may have to go early to get their lap in. Max has been sliding around on the warm-up, so hopefully he bins it.

Well done Sainz. Pulled that seemingly out of nowhere
