F1 2022-Round 22 ABU DHABI GP

I want the Alpine drivers to stay ahead of the McLaren ones so Alpine can secure 4th spot in the Constructors Championship.

Different livery for McLaren this weekend:

Alonso running in a replica Vettel helmet in tribute to the 4 time World Champion.

That is a very nice touch from Fernando.

Ah here...

Checo's runners FFS!! 😄

What time are the practice sessions?

....bizarre

Might see one of these this weekend...

hamilton passing a couple of cars (slowly) under reds; have to imagine that is going to be a grid penalty - unless you can claim hte other cars slowed down almost too much. Dont know if that is ever a viable excuse in such situations.

The board was flashing as he passed it, it looked yellow but the back of the board was red. Probably should be a slam dunk penalty but with the stewards who knows

no penalty for Hamilton. He had slowed immediately and enough, was simply going faster to begin with, according to the stewards. Which feels like common sense. The verstappen incident linked above was also noted as precedent.

There was no way Hamilton could have planted the anchors in the split between the board flashing and passing Tsnouda. It's like a traffic light turning yellow after you've committed to go through, stopping would have been more dangerous.
