Ferrari strategy was not as bad as previous races, there was virtually no way they would win unless the RB failed. Good first race for Nyck de Vries, a full time drive must be on the cards. 3 week gap till the next Max win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techyd Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 Haha - yes Odious is a great word, I think he’s a utter w@@k@@ Max is on form for sure, so credit to him for the race win, and I do the think the car is right at the top the pile this year; Perez did well we’ll from P15 to P6(?) but didn’t seem to get much credit for that. I liked watching MCS this race though, I really thought he was gonna bin at one point but he pulled the overtake instead - great driving! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillidoggy Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Like him or not, Horner is doing a great job of making the rest look like amateurs. I had Leclerc marked down as the race winner, which would have injected a bit of hope into the championship, but once again, RB and Max were flawless, and thus unbeatable. I’ve given up watching the race leader, it’s more interesting further down the field! 2 Quote Margate Exotics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frickin_idiot Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 It all goes in cycles, for the years of Hamilton / Mercedes’ domination Horner didn’t look too smart despite having one of the greatest designers of all time at his disposal. Either way, I’m not that interested in the sport that much these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit were it is due, he is driving with real control/measure/maturity. Getting the WC behind him does seem to have had an effect. It also seems somewhat that Max's "25 year old young male switch" has already been flipped. You know, the one where young men go from being yobbo bags of pi$$ and vinegar to actually having drive, focus, and reason to their actions. 🤷♂️ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked watching MCS this race though, I really thought he was gonna bin at one point but he pulled the overtake instead - great driving! Credit should really be given to Adrian Newey! It was clear from the beginning that this would be a year for aerodynamics. And Newey proved them right. The RB is so much more efficient than the rest that they can adapt to any situation as required. Mercedes had the bbest engine over the last years, but noone to match Neweys talents. Just look at the ugly duckling they came up with. And Ferrari remains Ferrari. 2 1 Quote If you have the choice between a Stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell don't forget the Nomex®!

NedaSay Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Not a fan on the 2023 calendar that just came out... 24 races cause F1 is being nascarized, 2 Italian rounds because I guess Ferrari asked for it.... 3 US rounds, one of which is Las Vegas which is a dismal track. 5 rounds in the middle east because petrodollars still talk a big game. The last third of the season is going to be a logistical nightmare . No french GP, no German GP, at least Spa, Monaco and Suzuka made the list. For some reasons Spain and Hungary still make the cut while their tracks do make for boring races at the best of times unless it rains...

exeterjeep Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 RB cost cap....from FB - Planet F1. As rumours swirl that Red Bull have breached the cost cap, Christian Horner has told Sky F1 he is "not aware of major breaches" and is "very confident" in Red Bull's submission to the FIA, which was under the limit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
