2022 Spanish Grand Prix

[FLRacingFan]

Aston Martin apparently got their hands on a Red Bull this week and painted it green

 

[Kiante]

Mick Q3!

 

[Kiante]

Leclerc from spin to pole.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Too many mechanical and electrical gremlins holding Max back.

Great results for Haas and they didn’t bring anything new this weekend. 8 upgrades for Aston and they’re out in Q3 again…

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

HAAS!!! I'm happy that their decision to focus on this years car seems to be paying off.

 

[Doc Austin]

Both Haas in the top 10? Righteous!

I'm anxious to see how Mercedes does. They look much better, but practice doesn't count. I want to see where they land on the grid. It would be great to see them get back in the fight and give us a six way battle.

I've been pretty critical of F1, especially after last year's series of bad calls and no calls. However, we've got a fabulous looking, very racy new car, and they seem to have even cleaned up the dirty driving. F1 has been a really good show this year. History suggest they will screw it up somehow, but right now this is as good as any F1 season we have ever seen.

Odds of Red Bull finding and fixing the power loss problem by tomorrow 6/10

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Going to be interesting to see how Mercedes’s race pace is today. Adding a 3rd team that can compete with RB and Ferrari weekly would make for a fantastic rest of the season

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Man Sainz has been awful the last couple races

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

Russell doing a great job defending.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

DRS barely working for Max is on brand for Red Bull

 

[donthaveanickname]

Didn't catch a lot of the first third of the race. Did Carlos and Max lose it on their own or did they have brake problems?

 

[FLRacingFan]

What’s up with Red Bull this year? Can’t even get the DRS to work consistently.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Didn't catch a lot of the first third of the race. Did Carlos and Max lose it on their own or did they have brake problems?

Lost it on their own but there’s some big gusts there supposedly.

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

Heartbreaker for Charles.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Being a Ferrari fan is going to be my downfall

 

[FLRacingFan]

What the actual **** Ferrari

This shouldn’t be happening until at least August

 

[donthaveanickname]

Leclerc kaput!
Russell to the lead!

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

Russell needs to be careful with the double moves into turn 1.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Would love to see Perez on the top step

 

[donthaveanickname]

Hamilton radioed his team early on the race asking to retire, now he's up to 5th.

 

[gnomesayin]

Perez to team: "That's very unfair, but OK."

Doesn't seem like there was much suspense anyway.

 

[Kiante]

I don't like that.

Checo has not put a foot wrong all day.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Team orders are the worsttttttttt

 

[gnomesayin]

If Verstappen is a second and a half a lap faster, it doesn't matter. Still leaves a sour taste.

 

[donthaveanickname]

They could've made it look less obvious at least

 

[Kiante]

Daniel is going to have to get out of that McLaren seat at this point.

I cannot stand him looking this bad now in days.

 

[gnomesayin]

Red Bull team to Perez at the debrief: "Max was on a different strategy. It's the he's supposed to win the race strategy. You were on the finish behind Max strategy."

 

[Kiante]

Hell of a move by Lewis.

Great recovery drive by him.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Good thing Lewis didn’t retire on lap 3

 

[FLRacingFan]

Daniel is going to have to get out of that McLaren seat at this point.

I cannot stand him looking this bad now in days.

He’d be a popular Xfinity Series driver.

Lando is barely in shape to get out of bed and he’s ahead and in the points…

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Danny is either coming Indy or NASCAR. It makes perfect sense for his personality. He has been very average the past 5 years besides some random good runs

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

I've been thinking the same about Stroll lately. I know it's not very likely, but he's not been impressive compared to Vettel. It's way past time for him to show something.

Audi should buy that team and put it out of its misery.

They just told Seb this…

Tbf, he had a lot of DNFs through that time.

Should have stayed with Alpine instead of switching teams. He got a lot of money from McLaren and the money he's getting paid does not match the results.

 

[gnomesayin]

Bottas was fourth with 10-12 laps to go (don't remember exactly), and lost more than 20 seconds by the end to finish sixth. They maybe should have pitted him again, he was cooked.

 

[FLRacingFan]

What looked like a disappointing day for Red Bull flipped on its head very quickly. Now they’ve erased big deficits in both championships and taken the lead. Ferrari don’t have much more time to screw around before Mercedes are on pace both with them and RB.

Bottas best of the rest again, the guy is single-handedly carrying Alfa to 5th in the WCC.

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

Hell of a run for Russell. He's been super impressive in the works team. A shame Haas couldn't convert their good qualifying to points today, but they have pace, which is promising.

 

[Greg]

Not sure if Queen Letizia attended the race of not. She would have been a great girl.
