I guess checo will be told to let max through. But would love to see checo get the win.

LEC out! My word and RB is 1-2 at the mo.

Lets not jump to conclusions yet.

Yup. I still think a fully functional Ferrari is slower than a Red Bull during a race. Love seeing Ferrari doing well but man, it's really the Max era now.

One thing I learned today. I knew Russell is a fantastic driver, but he can really drive. He's going to be dangerous when he's in a truly competitive car.

Really want to see Lando fighting for podiums consistently…..

Yup. Max on fresher tires, and fighting for championship. Let Max pass, Checo gets 2nd, and Red Bull gets max points for constructor. Super productive weekend for Red Bull.

Charlie's lost it by PU issues .
It's still unclear what caused it...

RED BULL (MAX) takes the lead in the WDC + the constructors is for Red Bull !

Bad luck for Ferrari ! But MAX got also 2 DNF's ...

RB should be the favourites until the new engine regs kick in 2025/2026.

Indeed Checo deserves a win, but not this race.
He let Max pass, but also, Max is way faster.
Max just has a difficulty passing because his DRS is not working.

Checo cant pit because he then looses a position to RUS.

RUS now comes in, so Checo could do the same.

GuidoK · 05-22-2022, 10:21 AM

If they are now smart at RB, they let Checo pit and go on reds, trying to get that fastest lap!

(if he still has a set of reds...)

GuidoK · 05-22-2022, 10:23 AM

....RB read my mind...

TTM0TION · 05-22-2022, 10:25 AM

Twat Waffle HAM wanting to give up on the race going to get a P5. He's such an insufferable douche.

Done !

///M Power-Belgium · 05-22-2022, 10:29 AM

HAM is pushing behind Sainz !

59/66 !!!

TheBingoBalls · 05-22-2022, 10:30 AM

Fantastic recovery and salvaged this weekend for Mercedes. Too bad it was at the expense of Ferrari/LeClerc which pretty much had this race in the bag if it wasn't for his PU.

This is it, Max had TWO DNF's already through mechanicals.

E92inNC · 05-22-2022, 10:33 AM

Gutted for Charles, deserved the win today but everyone has to deal with reliability issues. Hopefully the titles this season is decided by pace and not issues. Sainz spinning again is no surprise, he’s relegated himself into the second driver. In the same car, Charles has a winning pace and Sainz is getting passes by a Merc.

E92inNC · 05-22-2022, 10:35 AM

Only good thing coming out of this weekend for Ferrari is they’ve decreased porpoising and clawed back some performance to RB. I think Charles should be the favorite in Monaco…provided he doesn’t crash again, and that’s a big if.

Let's keep in mind that Ferrari replaced the PU at Miami ..

I think It's just bad news for the Ferrari PU's !
IMHO. Ferrari pushed it over the top !

64/66 !

M5Rick · 05-22-2022, 10:36 AM

HAM up to 4th he won't get RUS.

GuidoK · 05-22-2022, 10:37 AM

This is for sure a bad day for Ferrari....

And crazy that Max can win with both DRS problems and a short drive through the rough...

And the Merc's have problems. probably overheating? fuel?
SAI gets his previous position back

That bulbous bodywork may be bad for the SF PU.
