F1 2022 Season

Pulling 27 seconds in the wet. Proper drive that.

Full points is correct by the written rule. The problem is just we all didn't read the rule properly.

F1 graphics was showing full points the whole race and commentators just assumed it was wrong. A poorly worded rule but that's F1.

Anyway it's all irrelevant to the outcome.

Yeh, he needs to go to a different team if he wants a world title I think. Ferrari will always implode.

Even without the ridiculous mistakes in the first half and if he had his max possible points - they were just not fast enough in the second half of the season though, I think Max would've romped home regardless. He's probably the only (young) driver on the grid capable of beating Max to a WDC any time soon so hopefully Ferrari can sort their shit out.

Fully deserved title for Max, he’s been pretty much flawless all season.

Leclerc is going have to work to reign in some of the errors he has in him for next season.

Which errors? He was driving on terrible tires and keeping Perez who was probably more than second and a half quicker than him, probably even more at the end. He was losing that place in the final lap so he pretty much tried cheating because that was the only way to stop Perez overtaking him. The fact that he kept Perez behind him for majority of the race was impressive considering Red Bull's pace.

I swear Leclerc is the only driver here whose slight errors(which aren't even his errors) are exaggareted far more than any other drivers.
 
His biggest problem is that he is any competitive with Red Bulls in that car, the fact that he even tries to give them race is more than impressive considering they are regulary quickest cars on the grid. So when he can't contain them people accuse him of making big mistakes which is ridiculous, especially today. Ferraris aren't even that quicker than Mercedes, Russel who is pretty poor for couple of races has more points than Sainz ffs.

Just if he wants to beatt the likes of Hamilton and Verstappen if he has an equal car with them then chances are he'd need to avoid the like of Imola, France and even here.

He isn't very error prone at all but he is slightly more so than the likes of Max and Hamilton and that's who he is aspiring to compete with.

And I believe he is the next best driver after those two so I rate him very highly
 
fia clearly rewriting the rules again so they could crown max champion before monday’s delayed announcement so they can play the “we don’t want to effect the outcome of the championship with our punishments” card again. notice how there’s an ‘a’ in max and in verstappen? want to know where there is another ‘a’? that’s right, the fi’a’ the prosecution rests, your honour.

He is easily better than Hamilton this season.
 
Max would have won it no matter now or later. Congrats to him. LeClerc needs to add some more maturity, as do Ferrari. It was quite evident, they were lost at points so far in the season after being out of a championship reckoning for so long. Now just hope, they have wised up to secure the 2nd place in the constructors.

Yeah max would have won it but the real question is would he have won it if red bull had not cheated and overspent on their car? ... if the fia actually enforce their own rules le clerc and ferrari could still win it this year

Looking forward to see who the real champion will be next year when they hand it to max again
 
Congrats to Max.

Glad I didnt wake up for yet another F1 shit show though.

:lol:
 
Decided to sleep and not watch.
Will watch it later, well what there was.
Well done Max, he was always winning this years WC, he has been far and away the best on the grid this year, its the people round him I dislike.
After all the hype at the start of the season about new cars and closer racing, this season been has been disappointing, Mercedes not close, Ferrari impoding on themselves, Max won't win an easier WC.
Hope next season Mercedes and Ferrari and one or 2 others, get their shit together and give RB a proper fight.
 
Just realised I somehow chose Zhou for the fastest lap on the predictor. Oops!!

Annoying as I'd have picked Max who got it urgh

Not seen the race but sounds like it was a complete and utter shit show?
 
Oh well, congrats to Max on his first championship title.

I thought it was actually decent minus the front 3. From Ocon onwards there was plenty of competitive racing for a short race.
 
The weird thing is they introduced the rule so that a farcical situation like Spa would never happen again, but introduced a rule where it clearly could.

The FIA are just so incompetent.
 
F1 is dead now with an average driver winning purely because they have the fastest car. We need to go back to the days when everyone was in agreement that the best driver won against teams that were equally as strong. Hamilton/Mercedes, Vettel/Red Bull, Schumacher/Ferrari and Haaland/City.
 
Just caught up.

Crazy that more people didn't pit earlier considering how much faster the fresh tyres were.

The likes of Ricciardo in 11th down, they all missed a trick there. No idea why the teams were slepeing.
 
Turned off my YouTube notifications but then decided to check my email for some reason, where I had an email from Red Bull telling me they’d won the title :lol:

Doesn’t sound like I missed a classic though. Deserved winner. Been pretty faultless all season.

Max just a different level this season. Perez nowhere near. Can see Max winning 5 WDCs on the trot.

Bold claim, I can see him winning 5 easy but not on the bounce, this season has been easy for him, easier than any of Lewis wins.
Next season I hope will be a closer fight, Mercedes will have learnt lesson and they should be better and oters will join the fight.
 
Watched the highlights and it was a decent race once it got going
Max with a 20sec+ gap in those conditions was very good.
Leclerc with a five-second time penalty for cutting the chicane on the final lap, it was right and gave Max his WC win.
 
This is a joke of a sport as I said before. If the rules are this clouded as so no one knows what happens then it's a shit show.

What made me smile was the fact it was not Horner that told Max he was WC :D

Yup, stole his big moment. Must have been a nightmare for Drive to Survive too.

Horner and Max will probably re-record the message in the next race for the cameras and pretend like it wasn't a weird blunder.
