F1 2022 Season

Don't know why Hamilton gave up on his previous laps he was very competetive
 
I can't see Russell matching Max and Leclerc, it will be upto them two

Nah, Lewis make a mistake , Russell pushing it too hard.
Sky commenters saying its windy also, would not have helped.
Hefty repair bill for Mercedes.

Have the gearboxes changed for this year as there was no mention of possible gearbox damage with Lewis’s car, whereas the last few years rear end impacts could feck it up.
 
Russell will most likely be 4th tomorrow so it's not too bad for him.
 
with both mercedes crashing it’s clear red bull must have caused it.
 
For people saying that they're tired of seeing RB run away with it, obviously they have a great car. But you just have to look at the gap between Perez and the Ferraris to see that Verstappen is himself adding 3-4 tenths per lap of performance.
 
Qualifying: Top 10
1) Max Verstappen, Red Bull
2) Charles Leclerc, Ferrari
3) Carlos Sainz, Ferrari
4) Sergio Perez, Red Bull
5) George Russell, Mercedes
6) Esteban Ocon, Alpine
7) Kevin Magnussen, Haas
8) Mick Schumacher, Haas
9) Fernando Alonso, Alpine
10) Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes

So it can’t be Perez underperforming then?
 
So impressed with Sainz, he has closed the qualy gap to Leclerc who usually saves his best for last run of Q3

Max gets that bit extra out of his car, same as Lewis does, when the car is right.
The RB is the car to beat, but it can be beat.
Max on Pole was expected, I see him winning the sprint and the main race, he is that good.

I think they have made the car more suited to Max being more front heavy in the last few races, Perez said so himself. It's aiding Max's qualy runs for sure giving him a tenth or so over the Ferrari's who are incredible over one lap
 
Max is probably the quickest driver in F1, I wouldn’t argue against that opinion but he isn’t dragging a car into pole, come on, it’s a quick car and has been all season.

Perez is not a great qualifier, never has been, if a career was measured on quali Perez wouldn’t even still be in F1, he’s there because he’s very solid in races. I don’t really buy his excuse of development moving away from him, he’s just not a one lap guy. He’s a specialist at some tracks but not many, Max rightfully dominates him 9 times out of 10.
