F1 2022

<Tin foil warning>
I guess given how things ended last year, with the FIA mess... If (speculation!) it turned out the very team that won the driver's championship that way was also breaking the FIA budget cap... It would be an almighty mess for both the FIA and the team in question...

So presumably best for both parties to put a lid on it and make everything look ok, as nobody else has access to the data to prove otherwise...

Harms already done, most people remotely following the sport will know/assume they have went over the cap. It would be great to see them be severely penalised cause they will just keep doing it otherwise.
I wonder are RBs lawyers included in the budget cap

Latifi gets lost at the chicane in FP.

Blames the car

 

[cauld1]

In fairness he will need to push for quali what with his 5 place penalty. Not that it really punishes him

 

[DC.]

de Vries to Alpha Tauri.

Gasly to Alpine.

Now confirmed

 

[Gibbo]

All Maxs to mess up now, which he tried with lando there. Caught sleeping and wasn't expecting anyone to dare to around him. Was never going to be a penalty, would had to have been a flying lap to even come close to one. Let's hope for some rain tomorrow

 

[cauld1]

I think yesterday was the highlight of Latifis time in F1. Getting lost, taking the wrong corner off track and then saying the car isn't right is a fecking belter

Max incident in quali, hmm. Bit silly

 

[big_pete]

Latiffi has to be one of the worst of all time properly hilarious that yesterday

Some of the Japanese fans really go to town with their outfits. Lol’d at the guy holding up the Ferrari make me a strategist sign in quali

 

[AidanMcG]

Vettel getting that Aston Martin into Q3 is impressive

 

[DC.]

You can tell he’s enjoying his last weekend round Suzuka.

The sad thing is that he's nowhere near the worst compared to the proper pay drivers who were really, really bad. Taki Inoue is about the worst, but at least has a sense of humour about it

 

[svensktoppen]

Where did Renault come from all of a sudden?

Otherwise business as usual. Can't wait for Monday and see what all the fuss has been about in the end.

Has everyone already forgotten Maze****z or whatever his name was

Latifi is definitely having a good stab at it though

Was he the guy who was hit by the medical car?

As Sven says Mazepin has to be one of the most recent awful drivers. At least Latifi scores points. Mazepin didn't help himself with his antics or some of his comments. I was personally glad to see him and his dad go though.

Yep, this is him

As bad as he was, Mazepin was still not affected by the 107% rule in quali. I don't miss him all the same!

He hasn’t scored a thing this year, been out scored by De Vries who’s done one race in the same car

I bet if we was in a LeMans car, or Indy car, he would be right at the front. Even a rubbish F1 driver is better than most other drivers.

He scored points in Hungary last year, maybe other races too, I dunno.

 

[Gibbo]

How much of a little brat does Yuki sound on the radio, id be flicking him onto safe mode if I was his engineer.

 

[svensktoppen]

He's basically a teenager so that's just a normal tantrum

 

[DC.]

Ricciardo has ruled himself out of driving for Williams or Haas next year.

He could take over from de Vries as Mercedes reserve driver with the hope of getting a seat in ‘24.

Seems like Hulk is the favourite for the second Haas seat. I’m not sure why they’re getting rid of MSC as he’s outperforming KMag. (maybe it’s the repair bill)

Either way I hope Mick stays on the grid.

 

[PaulYDP]

Looking at the weather forecast it could make things interesting, fair bit of rain forecast to come in during the race.

 

[svensktoppen]

I don't know, what has Mick really done to stay on the grid? Somebody like Hulk would likely be stronger. More dev experience too.

Just a matter of how much Ferrari cash Mick is still bringing.

Can't see Ric as reserve driver either. Better off doing something else for a while then, get the mojo back, and try again.

 

[DC.]

Mick is no longer involved with Ferrari hence the doubt about him staying with Haas.

Maybe Ferrari will put Robert Schwartzman in there instead. But there’s no guarantee he’ll be any better than Mick.

 

[sam_9n]

This will just be Crofty and Button discussing the tractor topic for the remaining time

 

[Gibbo]

Can't see this going ahead
