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 :
Hamilton is doing ok but Russel is still dominating him
The Alpine is rapid on the straight
Alonso is flying it.
Alonso has a ridiculous top speed - 347 kph there, up to 9th and he will close in on Vettel.
Ah Ferrari!
First race I’ve been able to watch live in weeks and was looking like a great tactical battle between Ferrari and Redbull until those DNFs!
I'd love to see him get to Hamilton
Ah these reliability issues are ruining this championship.
Ah g’way. When the Mercs were doing it they were ‘screwing’ Bottas when he was never in the Championship fight.
Love how when the RBs do the exact same thing it’s magically a different thing.
Hamilton's back is killing him, hopefully he can keep it going.
Anyone know did Vettel stop yet?
Not really a fan of his. But As someone who ruptured a disc at 21, I really feel for Hamilton with the porpoising.
Worrying radio from Hamilton
Mercedes have to get that porpoising sorted or i reckon he will retire from F1 soon.
It’s a bit of both. Max is faster but RB are doing everything to protect him.
Edit: he’s currently 8 seconds ahead of Perez, no team orders are creating that gap
Hamilton sounds like he'll be doing well to last he race, must be horrendous. The onboard footage looks brutal.
he has stopped.
Di Resta giving an honest opinion of the situation regarding porpoising and ride height issues regarding the merc.
Montreal next weekend. Nice!!
*yawn*
Cheers, yeah I see he stopped at the VSC period...So tyres over 20 laps old.
Question is, can he last the distance I guess.
Yes, interesting to hear.
Basically Merc can fix the bouncing if they sacrifice some performance - but they are choosing not to.
Max being told to take it easy, so he gets issued team orders too 😎
Is DiResta completely gone from Mercedes then? :D
I mean in all fairness that replay matched with the radio message you can understand why his back is at him. I mean as Di Resta said Mercedes’ have it within their ability to if not fix it, then limit it as much as possible.
aaaaaaand another!!!!!
That Merc looks like a horrible place to be, if raising the ride height sorts it out then raise the car especially if it's cause a driver physical pain
Another Ferrari engine gone.
Yawn and avoid the question all you want. What's the incentive for Perez to catch Max? To get told no fighting again and to keep position? Why would he bother ruin his tyres and put more strain on the car?
Another Ferrari engine gone
This should be a SC or VSC
K mag out. SC surely.
Has Kevin retired? He Haas!
