F1 2022 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
Russell is 34 points ahead of Hamilton now, time for Hamilton to stop worrying about the front and start beating his team mate.
I used to be an F1 fan and still consider myself one but this isn't really F1 anymore. Seriously considering making better use of the summer sundays this year.
Disastrous race for Ferrari. In their hands, threw it away. RB are always so infuriatingly spot on with their strategy decisions. Say what you will about them, but they're always putting their drivers in the best position to succeed.

This track absolutely sucks. Almost no chance to overtake. It's so boring. I guess I'm not an F1 fan.
Oh look at me, my names alto and I couldn’t even get 2 people to join my NFL fantasy league for 6 months
This race hasn't done it any favours, it's shit without rain which we had this year and it still turned out to be the worst race of the year, after Miami that's quite an achievement.
Delighted for Checo. That emotion when they played the MX national anthem. This win meant a lot to him
That’s why Ocon got a pen, lovely chop into the wall.
Are Red Bull the Real Madrid of F1 strategy? Never seem to fail.
Monaco only has the history and vibe outside of the race e.g. being ij the city, race weekend. The actual race is garbage on that alone it should be scrapped, theres no place for a procesion race
So about Ferrari strategy...
BUTTERZ.
that’s the same one they showed the replay of no?
Ferrari just became the first team to lockout the front row in Monaco and not win since Ferrari in 2008.
ferrari protesting both red bull cars crossing the pit lane line after their stops.
looks like the funs not over yet

Both RBR drivers summoned to the stewards, this really should have been dealt with during the race, officials have been a farce this season.
it should have. seems like they wanted to just ignore it and hope it went away.
I really don’t understand how they’ve gone from Massi to somebody even more incompetent.
Another delightful day as Verstappen builds on his lead. KMARNNNNNN, another title coming up after initial giddiness from the caf. Old man Hamilton is done after he got his career ended by Flashtappen.
Leclerc not pleased with the pit call. It really is a shame that the censor the swearing on TV
Hang just a minute , the race result might change..
Ferrari have launched a protest against Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen at the Monaco GP, accusing Red Bull's race winner and world champion of pit exit infringements.
Perez and Verstappen have been accused of crossing the yellow line when leaving the pits on Lap 22, trying to stay ahead of Ferrari's Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc.
Perez eventually won the race, while Verstappen finished third.
The FIA did not launch an investigation during the Monte Carlo epic but Red Bull boss Christian Horner said afterwards that Ferrari were protesting Verstappen, though Ferrari's Mattia Binotto accused both drivers of a "clear rules breach".
The FIA summons then confirmed that both Perez and Verstappen were under investigation, with a Red Bull representative called to stewards at 6.15pm UK time.

The Monte Carlo epic
It's quite incredible how many times they've missed to show replays or anything interesting happening on the track today.
At least 7-8 yellow flags in the first corner(drivers missing the line and breaking late) and they didn't show it once.
Sainz's(?)big slide on straight/start during his race with Verstappen/Perez and producer only figured it out 4-5 minutes after, and it was obvious immediately that something was wrong when he lost more than half a second on that straight even though they showed the fight live but missed changing to the right camera that's showing start of the lap and went straight to the first corner camera.
I don't think we had any decent cameras in the tunnel either which was always fun, and there were always interesting camera works in the corner after the tunnel during the breaking.
For such a boring race there was a space to show everything and they've missed majority of incidents to show on replay, let alone live.
Surely that mind of minimal infringement should be dealt with during the race only?
It would be like investigating a yellow card foul that wasn't given after a game is over

The TV directors so far this season have been really bad, it's as if they don't understand Formula 1 at all
Yeah difficult to see how there can be worse than Massi, but apparently there is.
I agree , but maybe they missed it at the time.
A few did say when it happened that Max was getting a penalty.
When did Michael Masi become "Massi"? People spelled it like that the whole day
Leclerc not pleased with the pit call. It really is a shame that the censor the swearing on TV
it really was a mess.
calling him in then literally 5 seconds later changing their minds, they just seemed completely lost with what to do.
Double stacking also really screwed leclerc.
At this point if he loses the championship he can blame the team 100%
It would typically be a 5 second penalty right? That would change the podium entirely, so not really sure the yellow card comparison is apt.
More like investigating a potential goal after the game.
Subliminal messenger is why.When did Michael Masi become "Massi"? People spelled it like that the whole day
Cause he is the goatWhen did Michael Masi become "Massi"? People spelled it like that the whole day
If they’re given the 5 second penalty as they should (assuming Perez actually did cross the line, we only saw that Max definitely did) that would put Ferrari back to 1&2.
Pause it around 11 seconds and you can clearly see Max cross the line, it's a penalty for sure but it will he harsh if he's penalised for it at this race, 5 place grid penalty at the next race would probably best punishment for this.
Calling it the "Monte Carlo epic" is take more liberties than Masi did last race of the season.
Ok fair enough, it's still a disgrace. Because they were completely inept today Sainz might have missed out on celebrating a win at Monaco?
There were so many bad decisions today from the race directors
In normal races yeah, but there’s no way Perez would have built a 5 second lead.
I get that Max and Segio may well have broken the rules, but would the infringement, helped them gain anything ?
