PromDeAnglais 5,470 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Well that was a major disappointment. Hardly any overtakes and difficult for cars to get close enough. Worst race of the season so far. The Dude 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Butler 23,019 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Spain next (yawn) and then Monaco (worst race on the calendar). They need to start sexing things up a bit, maybe have the drivers blasted with water cannons and flamethrowers, or have big ramp jumps over water.

I am sure someone high up in F1 suggested having parts of the track wet a few years back, got shot down in flames. It needs something, relying on DRS is not really a satisfactory solution. As you say Monaco is a snooze fest. Monkey Butler 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what they can do to solve it, but they need to do something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIRB_72 3,985 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Bit of a dull race but another Verstappen masterclass. As long as the reliability sorts itself out I think he'll win the title. Just on a couple of British drivers, well one "Thai". Russell just gets better every race, if they get that Mercedes up to speed he'll be up there with Max and Charles for race wins and World Championships with no bother at all. The future is bright for the sport in that regard. Then there is Albon who I've always been a fan in relation to his race craft if not his pure speed. Had a few bits of luck here and there but is really putting in some excellent drives in a banger of a Williams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elephant in the room when it comes to talking about improving the sport. The biggest Range Rover you can buy for the UK roads is about 50cm shorter than a 6m long F1 car This video shows the difference between recent past and present. Alonso's 2005 car was just a little bigger - width and length - than the current Porsche 911. Today's car is the best part of 5ft longer. dummiesoot, The Dude and blaudrup 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIRB_72 3,985 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 A lot of enouraging signs for Mercedes so far this weekend. Their one lap pace is pretty much equal with Sainz and the Red Bulls. Leclerc has a couple of tenths on them all. As for race pace they are pretty equal with Ferrari but Red Bull seem to be much quicker. Hopefully a three way fight is now on the cards!
