2022 Saudi Fireworks GP

F2 race will get going in a few minutes.

 

[Kiante]

I'm expecting more from Daruvala, this maybe his last chance in F2 racing for Prema.

 

[Kiante]

Man.

Marino Sato is a cool character, but dude is in plum last in an UNI-Virtuosi car...

 

[donthaveanickname]

I didn't watch F2 last year so I'm unfamiliar with most of the drivers. Boschung and Nissany have been racing in this series like forever though.

Boschung is interesting, he's not a bad driver at all. Just seems set on keeping on in F2 with Campos and Nissany should just move on. Nissany is just overly aggressive and careless at times, I would tell him to move onto another FIA sanctioned series. WEC would be perfect for him, but what do I know?

 

[donthaveanickname]

Would love to see Perez pull this off.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Hoping for a safe race today. Let’s get it going!

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

I feel like you can really get a good sense of the speed these cars carry on this circuit. A lot of times that doesn't translate on TV.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Otmar must’ve almost keeled over during all of that. Wow.

 

[donthaveanickname]

This is kinda reminiscent of the Perez vs. Ocon war when they were racing for RP.

 

[kkfan91]

So I'm actually sitting down and watching the race today...trying for the life of me to see what you all love about this. Other yhen the Alonso vs Ocon battle I just don't get it...

 

[donthaveanickname]

Damn.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Latifi has no business being in F1

 

[FLRacingFan]

Latifi is becoming a plot device.

To be fair, street circuits have always been kind of dull. This one is interesting because of the speeds they carry.

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

Did Lewis and KMag not pit? Seems like a mistake.

 

[Kiante]

Latifi is becoming a plot device.

I feel bad for him, his form the last half of last season was solid.

Just want to see the kid succeed.

 

[gnomesayin]

Verstappen unilaterally declaring that it will be double file restarts going forward. Can't wait for the choose cone.

 

[gnomesayin]

These new regs are a substantial improvement. Hardly perfect, but they can follow much more closely, and we almost never saw a sustained back and forth battle with the last generation.

Glad the promises weren't vaporware.

K-Mag doing a great job again

It’s very good considering the whole track is basically high-speed sweepers. Bodes well for almost everywhere.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Did Lewis and KMag not pit? Seems like a mistake.

Yeah, will anyone else even pit again?

 

[Kiante]

Yeah, will anyone else even pit again?

No clue, I doubt it unless another SC comes out.

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

Yeah, will anyone else even pit again?

Doesn't seem like it. I don't really understand that strategy call. I guess they are banking on another safety car, but then everyone else will put on new tires as well.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

I’ll shocked if they pit again with how long the hards are lasting

 

[Kiante]

Wtf is going on?

 

[donthaveanickname]

Mechanical failures, that's a throwback.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

 

[gnomesayin]

All hell breaks loose everywhere.

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

Merc power problems?

 

[Kiante]

Lewis is screwed.

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

 

[donthaveanickname]

Lewis is screwed.

No safety car, so he might still get some points.

 

[FLRacingFan]

It does seem Haas and Merc fumbled there. Maybe not too bad for Magnussen, but I think Lewis could’ve gotten 5th or 6th on the main strategy.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Max had DRS Crofty. The Honda is faster, but not 25 kph faster.

 

[gnomesayin]

Fantastic stuff.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Lol @ DRS games

 

[donthaveanickname]

No flat spot? Impressive.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Max held off for the detection point that time.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Fantastic racing
