F1 2022 Season

- Start date
To be fair to them, this was incredibly obvious, what last weekend had several incidents and needed clarification from the driver
The season started off promising, lots of overtaking and some good battles between max and leclrec. Then it just sort out fizzled out and was rather dull.
Hopefully next year is much better, max will win the championship for sure but I'm hoping there are a lot more close battles with RB, Ferrari and Merc.

Oh give it a rest#2TIMESMAX as in two times he's been handed the title by FIA
Perez has to be the best wingman out there, played a big role in both titles.
No apparently it's in the rules they're saying.
So he's won the title by those new rules no one even knew.
I mean, fair enough, but it would be more interesting ever for Max to win it next race but whatever.

"Are you champion?" "No". HAHA
Oh give it a rest
They'll be happier once Lewis gets a token win now their foots off the pedal, like Max used to get when Lewis wrapped up titles early.
Oh give it a rest
It's fine, he'll lose the second asterisk in two weeks time.
This is just proof that the points system is too complicated. Should bin off sprint races and points for fastest lap.
Yeh probably.
I'm not even a fan of Max, but ye lot beating the same drum is getting pretty old. Grow up.
Do they have a hidden appendix of the rule book which creates an alternative reality?
Doesn’t matter this year, Max was always going to win and deservedly so.
Where are you from, it’s the English national passion to keep going on about things they feel they’ve been hard done in, ie hand of god
I'm Irish
Wow well done, mature as usual
Oh I've noticed alright. I suppose I shouldn't waste my time, there's some of them still whinging about hill and Schumacher from 94 after allSo am I, how haven’t you noticed this about them
Don’t know what’s got your panties in a twist this morning, you need to relax.
Yes, needs a rehash
I'm fine thanks
Great
It’s embarrassing for the sport that two titles in a row have had rules which were either amended mid race or were unknown to so many in the sport.
Given how teams have an army of lawyers to analyse the rulebooks to find any loopholes it’s a bloody miracle for them to find one which almost nobody knew
Might as well bin the rules about reduced points for not finishing the full race to make it clearer.
And it’s not like Max needed the full points, he was going to be the winner by the next race anyway.
So does that mean Spa last year would now be full points? That’s proper mad surely?
If you go off this it seems the race directors etc knew from the start but it was SkyF1 who didn’t understand the rules, I also noticed 25 points flash up for Max but I’m sure Crofty said the display was wrong.

I mean I hate it too, but the way some of you are desperately trying to downplay Verstappen's title is even more embarassing.
He is quite clearly the best driver on the grid, and would have won it anyway quite easily.
Also rules are there for everyone to see it, no one made them mid race anyway.
No, the rule around what points are awarded for races of that type of scenario was changed after Spa.
My post has nothing to do with Verstappen. He was going to win this championship regardless of today. My issue is with the inconsistency and management of the sport from the regulators to the media. It’s embarrassing.
Meh, Max had been absolutely brilliant this year and has deserved the title. His driving had really improved since last year.
Hoping for a better season next year, it’s been boring since Ferrari bottled it. Going to need a quick Mercedes team to make it interesting.
I haven’t watched today yet but the FIA really do seem to make the rules up as they go along. I don’t think they’re biased in any way just totally incompetent. The race directors have been awful this year as well, especially in terms of not allowing some races to begin due to a bit of rain, and not enabling DRS until way too long into the race after the weather cleared up. Hoping for better next year but I doubt it.

Because it was stopped whilst this one was only ended due to time running out? So theoretically if they restarted this one 30 minutes later and only got 12 laps in it would be full points?
The inconsisteny was down to commentators who said they are getting half points today which wasn't true(I was tricked too). The official FIA graph points was showed mid race and at the end and it said full points were awarded today.
They can be idiots at times, but the only contraversy today from the race and FIA direction was that tractor today that could get Gasly killed.
Yeh, he needs to go to a different team if he wants a world title I think. Ferrari will always implode.
Yep, it's a daft rule. You could have started the race with 10 mins to go of the three hour limit, run two laps, and award full points. Needs refining for next year.
Me thinks the rule book needs to clarify things.
