2022 Formula 1 Season

Is he done or think he'll find a seat somewhere else?

That's a good question. There are a couple scenarios that I think can play out.

Piastri to Mclaren, Ric to Alpine
Piastri to Mclaren, Ric to Haas, Mick to Alpine

I could be way off too. lol


Edit: I will add that Latifi is not safe and Williams may have a seat too.

wtf happened to turn 5?

Looks like they re-profiled it when they made the changes over the last year.

God I need to go to Spa before I can't...

You forgot the best scenario.

Piastri to McLaren, Ric to NASCAR, Ric and Kimi become best friends, shake and bake baby

I'd really struggle to watch NASCAR, but damn would I feel obligated to.

Same, it just cannot hold my attention. The most NASCAR I've seen in one sitting came from watching Talladega Nights and Days of Thunder.

Same.

I don't have an issue with NASCAR. I have an issue with oval tracks. They're just painfully boring to watch. I don't love Indy cars on an oval track either.

If NASCAR removed all the oval tracks and had a series that went around road courses I could be convinced to watch it.

That's turn 9 and for the bikes. F1 will still use the old layout as did WEC back in May.

 

[g-magoo]

Woah, you are 110% right, that is most definitely Speakers corner. Spaced on that one.

I could have swore they made changes somewhere in the T5-T7 area.

I lied, a significant chunk of my NASCAR knowledge comes from the 2006 hit movie, Cars.

Don't agree with this at all. Just feels like some of the higher ups are bending over backwards to reach viewers with short attention spans. I'm all for getting fans more engaged but ignoring team/driver needs to focus on fan desires isn't the way to go, imo.

 

[g-magoo]

Lol get more fans engaged.... last year they set the highest average number of viewers over the course of a season, ever. And this year there have been something like a 50% increase in viewers over last year. IMHO, they should just leave it the hell alone.

 

[g-magoo]

Welp, VAG finally did it.

Audi to enter F1 confirmed


Just waiting on Porsche and RB now.

Ferrari announced thier strategy for spa

View attachment 257871

I'd like to point out I posted this a joke....I didn't realize Ferrari was going to take it one step further and wait until the last lap to do a tire swap for leclerc so that he could lose a position to Alonso and not get fastest lap either.

 

[torga]

And then he had to abandon the fastest lap to focus on passing Alonso on track to take back the position. But he sped in the pitlane, so he dropped back behind Alonso in the classification after a 5s penalty was handed out post-race.

You can't make this shit up, folks.



And Hamilton learned the hard way that driving onto a tire isn't the best idea.

"All the time you have to leave a space!"

That accident was 100% Hamilton's fault and he knew it.

Alonso meanwhile had the most interesting race by simply just being there. Hamilton crashes into him, Ferrari does what Ferrari does and he gains a place he never should have gotten.
