Chris2K Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 Given the size of the puddles on the track, this race isn't getting started for a long time. And now we start, everyone's on inters. So why didn't it start with everyone on full wets half an hour ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 I didn't mind it too much, the always present danger of going into the wall was fun, watching Russell's gap to his nearest car rise by three seconds a lap, then all of a sudden plummet by 5 seconds a lap was entertaining, and it's always nice to see Checo win. He did keep the win by the way, quite why it took two hours to decide the penalty is baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

METALMAN Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 I fucking hate Gasly. What is with that infestation growing all over his face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 It took Gasly a whole one session to start suggesting that there's a conspiracy against him and that they're treating Tsunoda better than him because he's leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Lineker Posted October 9, 2022 Author Admin Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Red flagged. Unbelievable this happened - especially after the Jules Bianchi incident at this very track just eight years ago. Video here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cymbols Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Don’t really follow F1 but saw this. Surely this is like, not something that should’ve happened, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Lineker Posted October 11, 2022 Author Admin Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 FIA attempted to pin it on Gasly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Attempted to, and literally did. He got 2 penalty points on his licence for it. It was a horrific scene, made worse by the majority of the Sky pundits saying it was Gasly's fault as well, and with all the time they needed to fill during the red flag those opinions got far too much airtime.

JasonM Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 It's a 'two wrongs' situation, and both the Stewards were WAY in the wrong with putting out the recovery vehicle when there were still cars on track. That should never have happened and it's appalling that it did in Suzuka of all places, where this entire drive for safety got renewed after Bianchi's horror crash. But I feel you can definitely criticize Gasly for going over 250kph on a rained out track whilst the race was neutralized. That was highly irresponsible for him for no reason other than to get to the pit lane quicker, even without the recovery on a live track that could've easily caused him to lose control and create an incident in which he could've gotten injured. Like they're not equally bad, obviously, but it's not like Gasly should be absolved for his error in judgement either. Having said that, the semi-shitshow around the finish made a lot of people forget about what happened earlier and I wish people would bring it up more. But now the news cycle has gotten to Red Bull's cap breach so everyone's quickly forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twist Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 If it’s another DRS zone that might encourage some overtaking then all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonM Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 I wonder who they'll have on retainer if Logan fails to achieve the required points for next season. There's only 25 points between him in third place and Vips in 10th, two DNF's and a spread of good performances from the people below him and he can find himself tumbling down and losing precious license points. All but Enzo Fittipaldi have gotten one or more race wins this season, and Sarges best performances are from before the summer break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
