Formula 1 2022

Good qualifying by Mercedes.

 

Guess they won’t be able to compete with Verstappen in the race though ?

 

 

[Legend_in_blue]

And the difference on the track in qualifying today equates to one teams overspend.  Excellent.

Extra boost from the outstanding catering.

Easy win for Hamilton in the race. Just get Russell to smash into Verstappen for a 5 second penalty and probably finish 1-2.

If he gets he right he could win the title doing that.

[Super_horns]

Oh dear - will they miss out on much ?

 

Presume he will still have to do the usual pre and post race general interview that Sky can use .

Sure it’s not the first time someone on Sky has suggested Hamilton was robbed though since last year ?

Kravitz obviously touched a nerve. Truth hurts I guess 

[Stinkenzo]

Red Bull including Christian Horner will also not speak to Sky Sports... indefinitely

 

Been a while since we had good news in F1!

Am I right in thinking Verstappen could get the all time points for a season record today if he wins?

It's for most wins in a season. 14 if he wins today.

No but most points total. Read that the record is currently 413 held by Hamilton in 2019. Just wondered. 

[isaidno]

This race is terrible.

[Lcfc82]

Red bull 1-2 on the cards here

[snoopy87]

Another dull as dishwater Mexican GP

[Muzzy_no7]

At least when Mercedes dominated Hamilton had a teammate to keep him honest. This is just woeful. 

[Legend_in_blue]

This race needs a Latifi moment.

Without DRS this track offers NO overtakes. 
 

To think the likes of Turkey and Malaysia can’t get a slot in F1 while this does…

😂 😂 😂 

 

You’re right, 5 years of Bottas pushing him all the way.

[grobyfox1990]

Lift and coast gp. Hopefully the hard comes into its own and the latter stages and medium disintegrates 

[Super_horns]

Basically going to be who has the best pit stop really or while tyres last the longest.

 

Alonso not having much luck.

 

Shame this decent race from Ricciardo will probably not mean much as he’ll get a punishment for causing an accident .

Driver of the day has to go to Latifi. 

 

For finishing and not causing an incident.

[Legend_in_blue]

Alonso already on the moped and Latifi finally passes him on the timesheet.

Surely it would have been better for both Latifi and Williams to just come to an agreement, call it a day and get de Vries in there early.

Yeah I'm sure Williams wouldn't mind blooding in Alpha Tauri's new driver 

[Stinkenzo]

Has there ever been a decent race at this track?
