F1 2022 Season

The statistics show that the pole-sitter takes more than 40% of race wins. This information is based on the overall race wins since Formula 1 began in the 1940s. Out of the 1,066 completed Grand Prix races, the driver that has become the pole-sitter has won the race 450 times as of the 2022 Canadian Grand Prix.

I think this has skewed people's thoughts... This season has shown these cars can overtake and being on pole on most tracks isn't the be all and end all.
Yeah, perhaps. I just think the way the regulations are now, it’s very possible to have a fast car in quali and not in the race. With Parc Ferme, with tyre and fuel regs, DRS, and many other things, the car on pole may well not be the faster race car anymore whereas certainly in the past, it very likely was.
 
Anyone been to some race this year? I've tried to book one of Monza or Hungaroring, but it's almost full and the prices are ridiculous.
 
Great start by Magnusson.

Ferrari will find it hard to stay ahead of RB once DRS opens it seems :(. But Ferrari has real nice pace through s3.
 
People need to calm down here. Max isn't past Charles yet and could be a while if it happens.
 
The straight-line speed of the RB vs the corner speed of Ferrari. Wow what a difference these cars
 
One thing I am shocked by is Perez not making it past Lewis yet.

Overtaking might not quite as easy as I originally thought.
Hamilton is quickest at the moment, but yeah overtaking is difficult.
 
Problem for Max is though is any advantage he had on tyre wear might be being negated by being in dirty air, too.

Sainz has managed to do well, back ahead of K Mag, and on the hards.
