2022 Formula 1 Thread

Early on, but looks like the cars will be capable of closer racing this year, so well done.

In other news, Ferrari weren’t their own worst enemies this time. Fast pit stops, aggressive strategy, didn’t fall apart when Red Bull threw the late race pit stops at them. For sure, luck played a lot into their result today, but in prior years (say 2019 and before) they would have screwed up strategy long before this an issue.

Also, consider that Ferrari spent a lot of money last year on the car. They came out with a good package, and have thrown down the gauntlet. Cost caps might become an issue later in the season!

Actually, not just the works car, but excellent results from all Ferrari powered cars today.

Good to see George do so well. That was a long time coming. Bottas and MAG must be happy. And Zhou ought to be thrilled. Compare that to Mazepin’s first race, which lasted 1 corner.

Speaking of Mazepin, I hope he was watching!

Who was that dippy woman interviewer in the pits after the race, dressed as, I don’t know what, and without a single question worth airtime? Can you say ‘token”? Too bad, because there are so many really good women who could have been in that place.
