F1 2022- Round 21 Brazilian GP

Joeface

Evening Race again this weekend , and Sprint Race on Saturday and Quallifing for that on Friday evening .

If you are wondering what is still there to watch for.

Still up for grabs , P2 in the drivers Championship , all Glory is gone to Max so we are kinda left looking at the scraps he left on the floor

P4 is also up for grabs , big gap but still could be closed

In the Constructors ,

Mercedes Can Catch Ferrari it is a 40 point gap but they would need to maximise everything this weekend and the final race to pull it off .

Mclaren are 7 points behind Apline . That is Tight and and a lot rests on Lando shoulders again in keeping that battle open.

Alfa Romeo V Aston is a 4 point Gap . Could go either way depending on which Aston Team shows up

Haas V AphaTauri is a 1 point gap .

I'll just say it now rather than build up any hope of aonther person/team winning....

Max was well ahead of the rest his best drive ever, untouchable, best driver and champion ever. Now for 16 wins in a season.../s

Lewis is such a whinge bag on the radio he is done for finished should retire now, George is the vastly superior driver no wonder he beat him.../s

Ah well Ferrari, Ferrari'd who would of guessed.../s

Now people won't need to type it during after the race 🤣

I genuinely do hope I'm wrong but with the season the way it is I don't think so sadly.

And copy and paste for Abu Dhabi 😝

Lando with suspected food poisoning so the super sub De Vries is standing by to take his place for Friday

klose

If lando isn't fit enough today and DeVries sits in and it's qualifying day what would be the scenario there??

NinjaTruncs

That's an interesting question, can DeVries quality and then Lando Race? If so I would assume Lando starts from the back regardless of where DeVries qualifies. Or if DeVries qualifies does he have to race?

donspeekinglesh

You can't change driver after qualifying. But on a sprint weekend I don't know if that means after the qualifying session, or after the sprint race.

PsychoPete

What I've seen is if De Vries does FP1 and qualifying, Lando can still race Saturday but he'd start P20

It use to be that all drivers had to have a time less than 107% of the pole time. Although i know that has been set aside by stewards at times.

Not sure if that rule still applies though with the new qualification procdure.

Joeface

F1 never has a straight answers. If you don't take part in Qualification then you can't race. But you maybe allowed start form the pit lane if the Stewarts approve and maybe the teams.(apline will agree to that 100%).

107% rules still applies somewhere in the mess of rules .

Add to that, I think earlier in the year Mick Schumacher missed one as he had damaged the chassis in FP3 and they were not going to have the car ready for qualification even though it would be ready for the race , they didn't proceed. (Could have that completely wrong ,if so sorry ...but 22 god damn races is to many)

Yeah the 107% rule is more about making sure everyone is fast enough to take parting the race without being a nuisance. Even in the 90s there were plenty of dri ers who weren't good. Pure pay drivers. The 107% rule was regularly used back then.

Now the slowest cars are only ever about 104% of the pole lap. Checked Lattifi in Mexico and he was just over 104% of Max's pole lap.

As long as a diver isn't very slow, the teams usually allow them to race even if they didn't set a lap in free practice and couldn't meet the 107% requirement.

Unless it's totally against the rules, Russell would be fine to start from the pitlane.

FP1 Results

This is it

Is the qualifying highlights on ch4? Can't see it and I'm likely to miss it at 7 :/

Agreed. It should be quality over quantity. Far too many races these days. Much better if they brought it back to 16 or or 14 races a season.

Charlie-Bravo

It's raining. Lolz. This is going to drag out.

Qualifying and the Sprint will be covered in a 1hr highlights package tomorrow night at 11:10pm.

This is it

Ah, makes sense, thanks.

Busi_Girl08

Am I missing something or are they only getting 1 practice session before qualifying?

bennyx_o

That's normal for Sprint weekends. Another practice session tomorrow before the Sprint Race

PsychoPete

Gasly first to go for slicks

Busi_Girl08

We're going to be very well acquainted with Senna's right nostril by the end of this weekend.

Busi_Girl08

Is Ferrari's magic 8 ball telling them to ask again later?

Widdensushi

Ferrari starting early this weekend

Itssoeasy

No I was wrong but Jesus what were Ferrari up to ?

The problem is if it ever did go down to 14/16 races, they’d follow the money so you wouldn’t necessarily get better quality. Spa for example would be a contender for a cull.

Busi_Girl08

Absolutely shocking from Ferrari.

Itssoeasy

Ricciardo gets in to Q2 but he’d have liked another lap.

So what radar were Ferrari looking at then ?

PsychoPete

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119863009#Comment_119863009

They'd all be in america and the middle east

Busi_Girl08

Lashing again at the end of Q2.

Itssoeasy

interesting that timo Glock didn’t get a mention for his large part in that race at the end.

PsychoPete

Can always count on ferrari to make a bad call

Busi_Girl08

Holy **** is Kevin going to get poll?!!

Itssoeasy

Red flag after Russell goes off.

Look at the rain Kmag might bloody well have a chance!

PsychoPete

Someone do a rain dance!

Itssoeasy

well Ferrari had the right idea just a bit too early.

ShamoBuc

Mag to get pole pleeeease!!!

Faugheen

Magnussen getting pole surely? No way this dries up.

Busi_Girl08

Sky just randomly cut to an ad break?

What was odd was that they split it between the drivers or maybe Sainz overruled the team while LeClerc went along with it. Perez got done over behind LeClerc.

flazio

Shame it's just for a sprint race.

KillerShamrock

Like he has done all year max will come along and spoil the party... Please please please absolutely pi55 rain now full wets level of rain

McFly85

K-Mag getting pole would be phenomenal! Loved that chat with his engineer

Cool_CM

Come on KMag! At least somebody made an effort to stick a Ferrari on pole 😂

PsychoPete

Kmag is taking pole position!

Jordan 199

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119863149#Comment_119863149

Haas-errari 😉

Burkie1203

Can't wait to hear toto call for Russell to have his lap deleted for causing the red flag

Charlie-Bravo

This is brilliant. And probably a bit of rain tomorrow. Haas are strong enough to at least keep KMag near the front.

Busi_Girl08

Oh my god if Lewis takes poll of kmag.

Itssoeasy

Brilliant stuff.
