Comrade 86 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Hamilton must be absolutely fuming. The man's cursed. Mercedes not exactly helping their driver either. There'll be more harsh words today I reckon. George on the other hand must be laughing his socks off, but only off camera obviously ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 FFS. Verstappen is going to be gifted a 2nd WDC if Ferrari don't sort themselves out. A double DNF is not the ticket. Race over ? Andicis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I wonder if a one stop really is a good strategy today. With the temperatures, it could well be that Redbull will either have to stop again or be on risky tyres at the end of this race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 So, in a two word radio message Perez is told "You are not allowed to win this race and you are not allowed to challenge for the title" - I bet he's annoyed. But not as annoyed as Leclerc - would've loved to see how the race played out without his retirment. Sainz mecanical failure as well. Other notes: Good drves from Vettel, Alonso, Gasly, Danny Ric and Unlucky Tsunoda who was putting in a good shift. Lando didn't like being told to hold station. And yes, Latifi is still going to his walls anomymous meetings. EtoileSportiveDeDerby, Andicis and Zag zig 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How smooth was that spin from Vettel!? It's a separate side show to F1 watching Latifi every week racking up penalties for ridiculous things. 2 beauties today..

I'd file this as being contrary for the sake of it Alonso rather than he doesn't think it's a problem. To be honest, he seems far to happy at the moment, I like Grumpy Fernando.

With so many teams struggling with the porpoising, really the FIA need to step in and allow active suspensions or issue a technical directive around it. It can't be good for driver welfare.

Shaking briains like that time after time is my worry. On a more practical note, must be hard to spot breaking points and someone's going to get one badly wrong.

Alph Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Do you think Perez would have to give his wife to golden boy if something happened to Kelly Piquet? Any team. Any driver. But not Red Bull.

He is, which is prob the reason hes not found himself in the top teams in recent times. In my opinion hes the best driver on the grid though.

He's a good driver, but these days not a great one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great talent and genuinly a great driver, but too hard to work with, made some bad career moves, but I think his time has past as being a top contender in the sport, I think the Leclerc-Verstappen-Russell-Noris group would have him these days.

Agreed. Those 4 are all ridiculously talented drivers and are likely the 4 that will dominate the sport for the next 5 or so years. The Vettel, Hamilton and Alonso era of being dominant are over, Hamilton could still challenge in the right car, but the other two aren't top contenders any more.

Gaspode Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Hamilton was complaining that his back hurt during the race - just seen a clip of him trying to get out of the car. Amazed he made it to the end…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue that Ham lost to Button in the same car as well, however I'd put Ham ahead of Button. We'll agree to disagree. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
