My only niggling doubt is that this DRS overtaking is going to lead to more chess-type planning ahead ("I'll get DRS, then he will, then I will, then it will be the end of the race etc...") than actual straight racing overtaking. The thought of two drivers slowing down so that they can be the last one past the relevant mark and therefore benefit from DRS isn't truly "racing", imo. T'was fun though.

Once Redbull sort out their reliability, gonna be in for an exciting season, as Mercedes will improve also, strong possibility within the next 3 or 4 races of being a 3 way split between Ferrari, Redbull & Mercedes with McLaren sniffing around to capitalise on any crumbs the top 3 leave. Could be the first time in many a year that there is more than 1 or 2 teams fighting at the top..........bring it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Ferrari's return is a great story. Its a few years in the making with the appointment in 2019 of Mattia Binotto as principal. He transformed what was a more angry blame culture back then back into a family, cooperative culture. He brought in Leclerc as well of course who is proving his potential as an equal to Lewis Hamilton. In one of the stupidest comments Christian Horner made last year, even for him, that Red Bull 2021 was the first time Mercedes had faced a challenge when Ferrari and Mercedes fought it out on equal terms in 2017 and 2018 with Hamilton just about being the better driver over Sebastian Vettel, its good to see a proper contest again. Good times ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I’ve just watched an Indy Car race on a road track and by Christ they’re ugly things. Anyway, I checked out the winning driver’s Wikipedia entry and was interested to see he did an exhibition drive at Laguna Seca last year in a 1998 McLaren and managed to be a second faster than his best lap in his 2021 Indy Car. Kind of puts an end to those discussions about if it is anywhere near F1 in terms of performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsmak Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Ended up watching the Formula E race this weekend. I actually enjoyed it. Its come on a lot since I last watched it (years ago) and is only a little bit like Mario Kart now (still have the speed boost line that you need to cross - but no bananas or shells 😉) A lot more overtaking and the cars were together almost the whole race. and they were previewing a new car that they are all getting next year, Gen 3, faster, more power etc. Will now go over 200 mph https://www.fiaformulae.com/en/news/2022/april/gen3-launch-in-monaco#:~:text=The Gen3 is the world's,streets of iconic global cities.

Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 What I’ll never understand about F1 is how a team like Mercedes can go from being the best last season to being miles of the pace this season. How does that happen? And also, how come a team can be slow one weekend and fast the next? I don’t get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get it the merc thing will be due to big changes in the regs about car design etc. they will have messed up the design and are playing catchup. the one week to the next, some tracks suit certain cars better than others. i.e. if you dont have a lot of straight line speed but have a very good aero package you will struggle at the high speed tracks but others like monaco you will be a lot closer if not faster. There is also the fact that it is almost impossible to design a car that is the fastest on every track (for a few years the massive straight line speed advantage the merc had did sort of do that for them) so the designers will design the car around being fast at certain tracks but try to minimise slowness at others.

Taffin Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 F1 thread quite quiet this year. Usually a boring race at Barcelona but yesterday was pretty good. George Russell defending brilliantly, Le Clerc looked unstoppable until retirement and a nice strategy change from Red Bull to get maximum points. Bottas still doing wonders for Alfa despite a strategy error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionDJambo Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Hamilton unbelievably downbeat for a guy who has won so many championships. Him wanting to retire the car so early on just wouldn’t have happened last year. He looks to be taking a huff that he doesn’t have a car that can easily dominate the rest anymore. He did get himself well up the finishing order yesterday but needs to adjust himself to not having a massive advantage over all the other drivers. Maybe he still feels robbed over last season’s title, but a champion would usually become more determined to bounce back and get stuck in to those he feels cheated him.

He made a comment in the heat of the moment. Same as Verstappen did when his DRS wasn't working. And same as Perez did when he thought he could win the race and forgot his place in the team.

Hamilton wanted to retire the car very early on. His engineer told him he had a great chance of finishing in the points if he kept going. Verstappen was frustrated at his DRS not working properly but was still determined to carry on, although in a foul mood. Perez was justifiably disappointed at being asked to let Verstappen past as he thought he was doing ok and had a chance of a win. Can’t blame him for that really. Bottas suffered similarly a few times to Hamilton’s benefit whilst at Mercedes. I just feel that Hamilton is experiencing some lack of motivation because he knows his car isn’t giving him the advantage he has enjoyed over the years. He’s obviously a great driver but he isn’t the first past world champion to find himself in a car which gives him little chance of success.
