Those curbs are going to get the safety car miles up. Have you seen the weather? It is absolutely pissing it down so 1st practice is unlikely to happen so might be straight to quali later.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted April 22, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted April 22, 2022 Just had a read, and Mercedes chose not to go back out in the pissing rain. We're they unlucky with the accident as it caused a delay which meant the rain was much heavier later? Or were they struggling anyway?

There was a good article/interview with Toto about it they’ve a lot of upgrades ready to go which will improve the car but if they can’t resolve the porpoising (bouncing) first it may just make that worse And then they can’t measure the success of the upgrades. They will come on very strong at some point. When that is who knows. can’t see past Ferrari for the title. Leclerc will have too big a lead before the others catch up with their cars imo.

I know they get a squillion quid a race, and it’s not like they have to choose between food and hot water when they get home But Watching them get absolutely fucking twatted all over the shop whilst risking hitting a wall at 200mph makes you realise how hard this game is Split second decision making for hours on end. Its not for everyone but there’s no doubt these lads earn their corn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Winchester White Posted April 22, 2022 Author Site Supporter Share Posted April 22, 2022 That Merc is wank. It is all over the shop on any straight. All the others bounce too but nowhere near the merc. They have a fundamental issue with wind tunnel vs real air aero. Hope they fix it soon as I would like to see more teams battling. I still can't see past Ferrari this season though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 That Merc is seriously shit. No surprise to see Lewis having a pop at Toto yesterday Max winning the sprint livens things up a bit pulling the leaders back together Be interesting to see if Red Bull can last a full race though Good to see Bottas showing that he’s a very, very good driver in a pretty average car. He should have left Merc a few years earlier. If he had done he could have been in a competitive car now I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted April 24, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted April 24, 2022 George Russell is making Lewis look decidedly average. And sulky. Carlos Sainz needs to start worrying about Hamilton deciding he wants his seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 That was a load of shite. Far too long to enable DRS and to be honest a bit of a shit track. New regs are good allowing closer racing but if the track offers little opportunity it’s just dull Happy for Lando though and Bottas showing how good a driver he is Merc look tucking awful. Russell took his opportunity well but Lewis utterly fucked by circumstances Horner can just go fuck himself. Hopefully Ferrari take full advantage this year but I wouldn’t bet on LeClerc. Can see Max doing it again this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defo be interesting to see what they come up with. Also interested to see where they get there staff from as in the design teams, engineers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
