F1 2022 Season

To be honest, “overtaking” is still mainly due to DRS. They need to fix this

They need to get rid of it now. The cars can follow closer enough to gain the slipstream, if you're faster you're going to get passed.
 
Glad you enjoyed it, that what matters.
I think the sprint race was brought in for the newer F1 fans, those that have been watching DTS on Netflix, a lot of more established F1 watchers I have found dont like it.

Nah. The true test between the generations is the race girls. Seems almost pointless watching a race now without them.
 
This current format of sprint racing is pointless. No different to the actual GP on the sunday. Unless the grid is reversed or ballast added im starting to think sprint races are entirely skipable. Takes the shine off the sunday race.

What you need is a true sprint. Have the drivers run to the cars from a specific location. Then race.

Mansell would have had a heart attack en route to the track, with a fag in hand if this approach was implement earlier.
 
Problem is we could have just had that tomorrow, instead. Now all we've achieved is re-position the slower cars further back.

Was fun for what it was but still feels unnecessary.

i have no issues with more racing. I am a racer give me it non stop. rather watch this than fp3 which it as essentially replaced. I dont mind watching a few times a season.
 
No race for me today, day off , nice weather so taking the wife out for the day.
Hopefully a decent race, I will watch the highlights later.
Enjoy :D
I will be recording the race as usual and watching it in full tonight after my kid has gone to bed. Also agree its too nice a day to spend the afternoon indoors.
 
If they want to make these race interesting, they need to give them gumball tyres. Super sticky, super quick to degrade and make them only available for the sprint.

That is a good point. Exactly that type of tyre that would reward risk taking and bravery. Because if not, what is the point of a sprint race. It should be by definition different.
 
Bottas did well to avoid him and keep his place

Can we have a helmet cam view with that spray?
