mykeyb Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 On qualifying it's good to see the McLarens big improvement. Lewis will need some kind of miracle to challenge for a title this year being nearly a second of the pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Too many substandard drivers now in F1, too many daddy’s boys or wealthy bastards who’ve bought their way in, there must be genuinely talented drivers out there who are blocked from ever getting a chance because they don’t come from a wealthy family, and yeah, I know it’s been going on for quite a while.

Stevo985 Posted April 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9, 2022 Great to see Lando put the McLaren on the second row. Hopefully they’re getting over their first couple of crap races 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why the old boys are still racing too, bring in million pounds worth of sponsors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the strongest drivers grid in F1's history though, Stroll despite being the son of a billionaire is a very good driver who excelled as a junior and has matched a series of strong teammates. Latifi and Zhou are probably the slowest on the grid but neither are awful either, Mazepin was the only who really wasn't fit to be a F1 driver but wasn't slow either, just dangerous. Back in the 80s and 90s pay drivers were awful in comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve had a lot of really strong young driver come through in the last 5 years or so too IMO Definitely a stronger second tier of drivers than I can ever remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Withnail Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) Oh oh oh it’s about to start. One o’clock in the morning way too many beers and about to watch a gp. It will not be a pretty day at work tomorrow well today. Go Danny ric or clc. And they are off Edited April 10, 2022 by Withnail who arch’s a gp rather than watch?

sne Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) Wasn't the most entertaining race. Then again there was not much else to watch when you wake up 07:15 on a day off. Edited April 10, 2022 by sne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted April 10, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 10, 2022 Lewis unlucky with the safety car, but why tell his crew that they put him in a difficult position? Wasn't their fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engine was turned up on the car and was over heating, which is why he didn't have the chance to catch Russell, had to back it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Decent race imo, could have been a lot worse. I personally don’t like the cars much this year but the racing is certainly closer than in the past, you wonder if they even need DRS on certain circuits now.
