F1 2022 Round 8 - AZERBAIJAN GP

Lance is only good for going on a Stroll.

Why are the commentators saying that deliberately holding up other cars in qualifying is perfectly ok when it’s clearly against the rules and there is so much precedent for drivers getting penalised for doing so?

Itssoeasy

no bottas did get through crofty.

Bit of a waste so many teams putting cars out when they're just going to trip each other up.

Alonso with shithousery that was pretty unnecessary. Haven't seen the run up the escape road but if it was more silliness he should cop on.

How many of those cars were on flying laps?

Stroll on the dole 😉

Not the first time this season he's made that mistake. The graphic is confusing though IMO.

Don’t see how Alonso can possibly justify that after how much he kicked up a fuss and ultimately gained from a stewards decision after what looked like a much more genuine error at Monaco 06

Itssoeasy

That was far too close for checo. No need to be that close to the wall. Vettel did well to get it back to the pits and won’t do a stroll.

When ya see how cautious teams usually are in so many cases I just can't get my head around Ferrari and Red Bull putting their cars out there at full tilt for no reason.

Itssoeasy

Leclerc got close to the wall.

Itssoeasy

Sounds like the Mercedes team were telling Lewis to go faster and the stewards will look at it after the session.

That's a penalty for Hamilton. No excuse when you have clear track ahead

Alonso should also get one

Itssoeasy

Well Hamilton was going slow in that replay.

Rossi IRL

Strange there from Norris.

Hamilton was going slow but Norris just stopped behind him and wouldn't overtake him.

They could of just drove past Hamilton as he was so far off the line.

Captain_Crash

That looked ridiculous from HAM, I can’t see how he wouldn’t have a pen coming his way if he was as slow as the footage made it look!

Tsunoda is doing a very solid job this season

dulpit

I missed Q1 and Q2 - what happened with Norris/Hamilton?

ShamoBuc

Hamilton.... hope he gets punished. Could you imagine the whinging he would do if the roles were reversed.

Ferraris 1-2 after the first Q3 run despite a couple of scruffy laps!

waynescales1

Love these 4 way battles for pole.

Itssoeasy

Leclerc gets pole with a great lap but the two red bulls pushed him. Checo gets on the front row.

ShamoBuc

Well done Perez!!!!

And everybody here would be giving out about him whinging and saying he should just go past him.

Hamilton is going unnecessarily slowly, but there is literally nothing stopping Norris from driving past him instead of just driving up behind him.

What a pole lap from LeClerc,

Take a bow.

Will be some race for the top four tomorrow.

recyclebin

With the Red Bull top speed advantage it should be easy to pass Leclerc and take a 1-2

ShamoBuc

The speed Red Bull have will be hige on that straight, with DRS, they should overtake with some ease.

PsychoPete

Christ, Herbert is insufferable

This is it

Yep, LeClerc will open a gap through the lap but a Red Bull with DRS will ease past that Ferrari

Same as Lewis could have passed Max in Saudi last year instead of deciding to crash into the back of him.
