F1 2022 Season

A few laps back, the Ferraris could have pitted and come out ahead of Max.. Now the gap is around 18 seconds..
They better be going for 1 stop .. Also.. Sainz is 1 mistake away from a 5 sec penalty.
 
Why would pit after fighting through lapped cars. Just to do it all again.
 
Ferrari will easy win and Sainz has done well to keep his pace up so he should be fine as well. Too much deg for Max.
 
Interesting HAM has matched Ferrari strategy. Shows the pace difference. Max may pit to cover Merc.
 
So if they had pitted Charles 2 laps earlier and avoided all the traffic, it’d have made no difference. It likely won’t matter in this race but in a tighter race that kind of strategy error is costly.
Maybe it was a snap decision when they saw the pace ocon had on the fresh tires
 
In this case yes. But in a closer battle, it would be a strategic blunder.
Ferrari have absolutely nailed their strategy today in fairness. They’ve answered all red bulls questions better than I would have expected them to before. It’s probably the only race so far that you can’t really complain about them :lol:

I mean yes, in the grand scheme of things it’s definitely an improvement.
