Anything can happen here.. terrible conditions.
F1 2022 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
Feels like I’ve seen a couple of drivers on fast laps back out of the lap on the last straight as they can’t see in front of them. Must be scary.
thought Q1 started at 22:00
not the wettest Q1 I have seen.
Looks to be drying up to be honest.

Perez struggling here.
Lewis and Russell doing OK in Q1.
That was a mess from Norris

Is the race forecast dry ?
Stroll almost a full second behind 19th place Tsunoda who isn't even bothering 
If you want Leclerc would you even bother in these conditions ?
Going to start at the back, might as well save his rubber.

Seb should have been better than P17

I wasn't expecting that from Aston Martin after FP3.
Must have been the inters that worked for them. Shame, I would have liked to see Vettel close to the front

Well if one of the other drivers put it in the wall and needs to replace an engine, would it be better if he qualified above them or do they have to start from the pits
If that was to happen, think it would be a pit lane start.
not sure the track is ready for inters, looks very wet and standing water in places.
Yeah looks too wet for inters. At the end of q2 perhaps.
Aston Martin must have been terrible to drive, terrible results for both of them.
Also, that seemed like a pointless risk for Leclerc.

Perez is off, on inters.
Still looks like full wets for me.

RED FLAG
Perez was struggling in Q1 as well. Even before he switched tyres.
Losing the extra grip in that case was probably not the smartest decision .

Reverse looks like a right pain to select.
Perez cant do it.

Wrong RB in the barrier. We needed that to be max to make tomorrow more interesting.
How hard is it to put a button for reverse ?
I've put Max on pole in the prediction league
Disappointed for Vettel he was doing quite well in practice

I know he needed to do a faster lap than tsunoda to be ahead of him on the grid. But other than that leclerc should now just not bother coming out at all.
If Perez won and Max dropped significant points, the title race wouldve been ON
I refuse to believe that with how thorough everything is in F1, there’s an easier way to get an F1 car to reverse. But if that is the case, surely the drivers are taught how to do it beforehand.
Looks like his wing was stuck.. Not that he couldnt figure out how to reverse..
The process for getting the car to reverse still sounds pretty complicated.
Perez seemed to lose a touch of grip hitting the white line and ended up too straight
Yeah the replay of the recovery does seem to suggest that. Still does seem a major hassle to make it reverse though.
The qualifying doesnt start for several minutes.. why not get a car on to get Perez back to the pits?
Not sure its allowed, even under a red flag
Good jinx
I am wrong, Sky are saying he was offered one, he wanted to walk apparently.
You could get lost out there haha
Easy pole for Max now I except as it dries.
Will be interesting to see how fast Alonso drops down the order if it keeps drying
Easy win I think also
Norris looks in trouble
McLaren leaving Norris too much to do. You need a good number of consecutive laps to build confidence on a wet track.
Oooo hello Nando.
Nope, sorry, Max destroys that time haha
