karma for the handed over championship last year.. with a big discount though just lost points.. Red Bulls PU look fast but faulty..

Merc's are too slow..

gatorfast · 03-20-2022, 12:44 PM

Ferrari dominance! So happy for Charles what a start to the season!

JustinHEMI · 03-20-2022, 12:45 PM

Wow wow wow. What an opening race. Just wow.

I'm so happy to see Rus keeping up with his teammate.

Yes, especially LEC was faster in every situation.
And no tactical blunders from ferrari, pitstops also looked very good.

Both RB's failing within such a small margin. That should be resolvable for next race. (I hope...)

E92inNC · 03-20-2022, 12:46 PM

Extremely happy for my Prancing Horse, hopefully they can contend again after sooo long

Sucks for the Honda guys, hopefully it’s not something big and doesn’t affect their parts allocation for the rest of the season. They better figure it out quick with Saudi Arabia next weekend and little turn around time

Chappers 71 · 03-20-2022, 12:46 PM

Excellent race, great result for the red cars!

This bodes well for Mercedes. If they ever get their car sorted out, it's going to be a fight.

Humdizzle · 03-20-2022, 12:48 PM

looks like ferrari is the team to beat this year.

RB has alot of work to do.

Karma is a _____

///M Power-Belgium · 03-20-2022, 12:52 PM

Ferrari made a 2022 Champions car with the 'SuperFast PU !
Ferrari will be very hard to beat in this season !

Great job by Ferrari and congrats with P1 and P2 !

On a technical note, I was surprised that VER could sense that something was wrong far earlier than that they could see on the telemetry. Usually it's the other way around and they tell the car starts to break down because the telemetry tells so.
I hope we hear in the future what exactly went wrong with VER and PER' cars, and if the problems are the same/related to the same issue.
It looks like something electrical to me.

Mr Pete · 03-20-2022, 12:55 PM

Wow, just got to go kart track for my son, and wtf happened??! I left my house when Max and Sainz went for a 3rd stop, and just discovered race result!!

KMAG!!!! YES!! Oh how I would love to be a fly in their paddock wall, Steiner dropping a plethora of happy f bombs!

Congrats for Günther and Kmag !!!

With Kmag HAAS is back alive ...

We need Kmag in Checo's seat ASAP !

Mr Pete · 03-20-2022, 01:03 PM

Ferrari 1-2 is very cool to see. The iconic F1 team. But KMAG fighting for podiums would make this the best season ever haha

I'm curious what the Mclaren team's strategy is moving forward…poor Lando…

GuidoK · 03-20-2022, 01:06 PM

Toto admitting that putting on the hards was a blunder.
Lesson learned he says.

Everyone is still learning I think with all the technical changes.
Of course the sc shuffled everything but I wonder what, in hindsight, would have been the best tyre strategy. (with that there wouldn't have been a sc).
I think soft-med-med.
Of course a tyrechoice is also a tactical decision of the moment.
With VER's first stop, with the undercut, he obviously chose softs because his aim was to overtake LEC. (and almost succeeded).

Steeler · 03-20-2022, 01:06 PM

Long season, everything to play for.

Good to see the Scuderia back in the hunt.
MB will improve.
RB have some issues to solve. With AT having electrical issues, there has to be concerns with the RB engine.
Macca are nowhere and very disappointing.

Let's just call it what it is, the MCL36 chassis just sucks. Don't know what happened during development and tuning but it's just hot garbage. Definitely didn't expect them to be at the bottom. Feel bad especially for RIC, he moves on from RENAULT to McLaren which was supposed to be a better situation but now finds himself in the same position but with McLaren.

At least from this race, if teams want to be on the hards, they need to pretty much run them from the start to break them in. The mediums seem to be the best overall tire - most drivers seem to be happy with them.

I just heard when they down-shift the car or PU sometimes locks-up ..
MAX got also something with his steering wheel (2 issues)

Note : It's not confirmed yet ..

The HONDA PU was never able to beat the best Ferrari PU from Charlie ..
No way that MAX could beat Charlie today !
The battle that we witnessed was clear enough !

Ferrari pushed it to the highest level and even beyond !

HONDA and Mercedes are coming too short ...

If anyone deserved points and a good result it's Haas, loosing their main sponsor because of all that's happening in the world.
This will for sure help them attract a new sponsor.

I just hope they don't attract a sponser that brings a driver and that either Kmag or MSC has to clear the field....
