F1 2022 Season

Good to see some exciting racing at last. Neighbours are happy, nice to see how much it matters to them and how gracious these people are.
 
Let's play a bit of:
Spot the difference...

Seems, MV winning last season really did a number on some.

Didnt watch F1 races like i used to for few years now, do you think this season will be worth of follow and watch, with new changes etc?
 
My 3 thoughts-

Ferrari are back

Red Bull and Mclaren have a lot to work to do

I need a Guenther Steiner reaction after that result from Kevin Magnussen.

Fixed.

But yes, as a very casual fan this has been a great start. A Ferrari 1-2, a Redbull meltdown, but most importantly there are some early signs that there might be more actual racing between a number of teams rather than the boring 2.

I don't think so, atleast probably not the first third of the season. Today's race was absolutely boring really, except for the end and 1-2 moments in the beginning. There is a good chance you will find more entertainment in this thread though. :D
 
Happy to see Max and Horner get nothing out of today, long may it continue but I doubt it will. Will be great when Mercedes fix their issues and we have 3 teams fighting it out for podium finishes.

Hopefully McLaren can turn it around soon, two good drivers who need to be up there as well.
 
I wouldn't say it's as inevitable as it was last season. Last season they were already the fastest car in Portugal and Spain. Their engine was comfortably the best engine. McLaren and Aston Martin were competitive, Russell was sneaking into some top 10 shootouts in qualy in the Williams.

Whereas now the 6 lapped cars are all Mercedes powered.

E10 is piss water and I don't trust any engine that runs well on that.

But they will catch up, I hope not enough to unseat the Ferraris though. The sport needs them back on top this season imo.
 
The hate for Verstappen from Brits is funny and pretty pathetic, it’s like you’re trying to create a persona that doesn’t exist. Verstappen is likeable (check his followers), he is interesting, he is perfect for the sport.

Have to say, this race has been incredibly boring before the Red Bulls shutting down. Hope they haven’t spoilt the sport by creating too many new things, it all seems less speedy, less exciting, a bit slower and controlled.

Props to Ferrari for creating a car that is obviously much better than the others, didn’t see that coming. Mercedes look like they are in for a really bad season, certainly didn’t see that coming.

Yeah I’m a nice guy trust me ask my friends.
 
So damn happy for Magnusson and Haas.

Mazepin must be absolutely raging knowing Haas used him to help finance a great car while he had to drive the worst car on the grid in the meantime, and then they just binned him when the great car was ready :lol:
 
Pros:

Red Bull in the mud
Hamilton podium
Haas and Alfa Romeo competitive

Cons:

Mclaren buried deep beneath the mud
Gonna be a miserable season for Seb
 
You don’t have to be British to dislike Max, there are plenty of reasons. The sun doesn’t shine out of his arse you know.

If you don't like the driver I like you're pathetic.

How does followers translate to being likable? Luiz Suarez has over 40m on Instagram, to Verstappen's 8m, does that make him 5 times more likable?

As for the race, I didn't find it boring at all, really interesting to see how teams performed, plenty of position changes, fighting at the front, in the midfield, and at the tail end.
 
FERRARI 1-2, get the feck in!!!





I think an enormous amount of salt might have something to do with it.
Yeah great race from Ferrari, impressive car they've built themselves with good drivers to boot.

And yeah I get that Merc/Hamilton fans are angry about last season but it really seems like all that anger is now being channeled into absolute hatred towards Red Bull with very one sided, petty and childish arguments. People even loving that Mercedes tweet, really? Bit rich. I had hoped this season would be a bit of a fresh start of sorts but it seems nothing's changed. On the contrary, looks like it's gotten even worse.

Watching Ted's Notebook and he said the fuel pump is a standard component shared by all teams so I guess that failure was kind of out of their hands.

So the Dutch fans never stoop low enough to boo Lewis Hamilton then.
Someone here is having a sense of humour failure.

Not always the case… just because it’s standard doesn’t mean it isn’t being pushed to its limit, being run out of spec or packaged in a way that compromises it.
