2022 British Grand Prix

Leclerc sending it up the inside of Perez like he’s driving a road course Xfinity race.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Carlos made that easy for Max

And there's the Ferrari ****-up of the Week.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Good to see Sainz get his first pole, he’s looked like more of what we expected the last two race weekends. Should be an interesting one.

Aged like milk

 

[Efisher131]

Ferrari gonna Ferrari

 

[FLRacingFan]

Yuki doing the one thing you’re absolutely not supposed to do in F1.

 

[Speedbowl14]

What a bizarre season. Reliability amongst all teams has gone back 15 years

 

[Speedbowl14]

Ferrari needs to let Leclerc go ahead or Hamilton is gonna be there.

Correction- Ferrari *should* so I'd expect them to do the opposite

Attrition brings back that Twilight Zone factor we've been missing for a few years. They haven't been able to pass for a lot of years, and the cars didn't break, so once the lights went out the race was usually over. Now they can pass and now they blow up more often. Nothing wrong with a little drama.

Just like NASCAR has as well with the new car there

 

[FLRacingFan]

Ferrari should switch, but this is much more entertaining. At this point I’d love to see another Lewis win on home turf.

I know. I like it. Stick n ball you can look at a team with a 10-5 record going against an opponent with a 5-10 record and have a good idea what the outcome will be. That's never something that should be in racing. The element of unpredictability (and talent, of course) makes our collective sport of auto racing the best in the world, imo.

Well said, Speedbowl.

I remember when you had to take care of the car and the tires and everything. Now it's balls-out the whole time, burn up the tires and get some new ones. Even endurance racing is wide open the whole time.

Don't get too comfortable. In the beginning of the hybrid er they could barely keep a car together, but last year there was very little attrition going on. This won't last too long. The teams will get it figured out and we'll have great reliability again.

Ferrari always must do the opposite of whatever is logical. It’s in their DNA

 

[FLRacingFan]

Lewis still gaining on the lead while Chuck has clean air. Maybe Sainz was simply DRS towing him around the track.

 

[Efisher131]

Hamilton saying his tires are good? Never thought I’d hear it

 

[Efisher131]

The fact that Charles is still faster than Sainz with a damaged front wing doesn’t look good for Sainz.

 

[Speedbowl14]

I know a lot of people see Max running away with he championship, but today is really gonna tighten things up. I think it's still anyone's game.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Ferrari of old would’ve swapped Barrichello and Massa by now. I’m glad they’re free to fight, but they’re not gaining any time while Lewis is in old tires.

 

[Efisher131]

Ferrari needs to put in some team orders here. Absolutely must capitalize on this off day for Max.

 

[FLRacingFan]

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Sainz needs to defend harder then he has ever defended before

 

[Doc Austin]

Glad to see that. His car slid a hell of a long way on it's lid.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Safety Car let’s ****** go

 

[Doc Austin]

I'm just delighted Lewis can finally fight.

 

[Efisher131]

Come on Lewis!!!

 

[Speedbowl14]

Oh boy...

Imsa, Indycar, and NASCAR all running today.... Could be a tough act to follow after this!

 

[FLRacingFan]

Ferrari give Sainz fresh softs for the sprint but not Leclerc

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

Perez isn't out of this. This last stint will be fun.

 

[Speedbowl14]

I think Lecrec is gonna be a sitting duck here with the hard tires. Putting money on Sainz driving mad to get that win.

 

[FLRacingFan]

This is sublime

British fans blowing out my speakers

 

[Efisher131]

This is unreal!!

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

Holy sh*t!

 

[Speedbowl14]

Oh boy...

Imsa, Indycar, and NASCAR all running today.... Could be a tough act to follow after this!

Called it lol. Best non oval open wheel racing I've seen in a loooonnnnggggg time

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

This race

 

[Efisher131]

Leclerc is hardly gonna gain anything

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

I think Lecrec is gonna be a sitting duck here with the hard tires. Putting money on Sainz driving mad to get that win.

Nice call.

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

What a fun, crazy race. Pumped for Sainz. Nice recovery for RB. Double points for Haas, top 5 for Fernando. Great clean racing at the end.

 

[Speedbowl14]

"wowowwowowoowowowowowwwwww"

Yep! Congrats Sainz!!!!!

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Pumped for Carlos. Finally got it done
