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 :
Perez very slow already :/
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...
No point fixing now, sure they'll be right in October.
Expecting a tyre-management-fest alas.
Car Loss Sainz.
Leclerc a sitting duck in this race
It's all kicking off now
Gamble stop for LeClerc but it didn't look a good one.
well that’s not good for sainz.
Sainz, what a disaster of a season so far
Oooh very good.
That replay of sainz sounded rough.
Let's see how RB switch their cars around now.
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.
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.
Who had what tyres left? Another stop for mediums for Leclerc could be the shout.
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.
Gearbox went bang I think. It was still in 2nd gear when he was stopped according to his dashboard.
It's getting a bit more interesting now. Charles can hardly make those tyres last the whole race?
From memory of what was said earlier I think Ferrari had 2 new sets of hards left and redbull 2 new sets of mediums.
Max 0.5 quicker last lap
Very doubtful. But red bull still need to stop so it’s not over yet.
That was too early to pit if you ask me. There will be more VSC later most likely...
I think Ferrari have two mediums and a set of hards, RB have a set of mediums and two sets of hards
Good save from vettel
I think there is more chance of that happening than them telling Max to hold position.
It was this track where both redbulls raced each other out of the race.
I guess we will find out IF Max can get close enough.
Recovery and a half from Vettel!
Vettel is pretty good at those little spins
Very dangerous track re-entry from Seb there....Hope he doesn't get hit with a penalty for it!
Hard tyres looking better than the mediums
