F1 2022 Round 8 - AZERBAIJAN GP
Eventfull race last year with tire fails and Brake magic and Aston Poduims
will it be more of the same ? , Will the Really really long straight show more bouncing than previous races .
Start times :
Max 0.5 quicker last lap
From memory of what was said earlier I think Ferrari had 2 new sets of hards left and redbull 2 new sets of mediums.
It's getting a bit more interesting now. Charles can hardly make those tyres last the whole race?
Gearbox went bang I think. It was still in 2nd gear when he was stopped according to his dashboard.
If all the conspiracy theorists are correct we’ll see Red Bull getting on the radio to Perez to let Verstappen past now. I’ll be utterly shocked if that happens.
Who had what tyres left? Another stop for mediums for Leclerc could be the shout.
No way LEC is getting 40 laps out of them tyres in that heat, and on the speed of that track. He has to come in again or one of them will go bang.
Charles probably had to pit, the gamble and the flat spot from the very first turn.
Thing is, the chances of another VSC are pretty high.
Let's see how RB switch their cars around now.
That replay of sainz sounded rough.
Oooh very good.
Sainz, what a disaster of a season so far
well that’s not good for sainz.
Gamble stop for LeClerc but it didn't look a good one.
It's all kicking off now
Leclerc a sitting duck in this race
Car Loss Sainz.
Expecting a tyre-management-fest alas.
No point fixing now, sure they'll be right in October.
Got confused with the post times here, then remembered boards is a crock since the update and they still haven't figured out that the clocks changed a few months ago...
Perez very slow already :/
**** off crofty
LecClerc battery must be pretty beefy
The ERS seems to be fighting the DRS.
Toto will be the first caller on Liveline tomorrow.
That's a pretty stupid mistake from Williams
That overhead shot for turn 2, Jesus.
Leclerc just absolutely no acceleration after launch. Verstappen probably had the best launch of the lot.
Max probably got the best start of all but had nowhere to go with it.
He is apparently 15km quicker than the rest before DRS
Perez ahead after turn 1.
Lovely start from Checo, all very clean elsewhere
