It's for sure ..MAX will put Charlie under pressure at that long 2.2 km straight .

Red Bull can go with a second race strategy :

Checo can open the hunt behind Charlie till Charlie's tyres are gone .
And then comes MAX on that looooo...ng straight !

Exactly ! I was reading earlier today the article . And I was thinking the same ..
Gasly is better at AT .

I think the situation Gasly is actually financial speculation .

Scarbs talking about the suspension on the 22 cars and he also talks about the 21 cars and how it differs.

You can see alot of the external components are removed and how much simpler this year's suspension is as per the FIA rule change. This is likely why Merc are struggling this year, as they heavily relied on their suspension tech before hand to get the car to squat and maintain a level aero platform.

One thing is for sure , the B has (at least) sidepods to fight the extreme bouncing .
Won't be easy with the '22 budget cap ..
The Mercedes bouncing looks very dangerous !
The Merc drivers are actually passengers and I fear the worst ...

Once again , Charlie pulled a great pole lap . 4 poles in a row with the Ferrari superfast PU !
The Ferrari looks so well driveable and balanced at every track and it looks unbeatable during QF !

Red Bull Isn't finding the right balance between the front and rear end , that's why the RB18 Isn't fast enough in the slower corners .
MAX said : I can't fight the turns like I did before with the high rake concept , that's why I'm losing time in the slow turns. We are working on it , but as we know nothing is easy to understand issues completely with these '22 cars ..

On the other hand : Ferrari ran today with the well know QF setup .
And Red Bull ran with (as usual) with the race setup .

So ....'Suspense is guaranteed !

I've been roped into going to the American Speedfest at Brands today my friend so won't be present to comment during the race but will be following the progress on the mobile phone news..GL to Max the new Professor.

Great start from Checo ! Checo is P1 !!!

GuidoK · 06-12-2022, 07:05 AM

Very nice start from Checo!

M5Rick · 06-12-2022, 07:06 AM

^ Track temp is 48C and I'm off. Checo jumps Lec great! ..I'm really off now

GuidoK · 06-12-2022, 07:08 AM

Sainz!!!

GuidoK · 06-12-2022, 07:21 AM

Too bad for Sainz.
Looks like mechanical problems (brake failure)

His season is dramatic!

///M Power-Belgium · 06-12-2022, 07:22 AM

SAINZ ?!?! That's a DNF ...

Charlie in pit! !!!! 5.4 sec ....Looks bad for Ferrari !!!!

Once again what a mess...

GuidoK · 06-12-2022, 07:22 AM

LEC stop was dramatic...
But under VSC so not really lost much time.

GuidoK · 06-12-2022, 07:25 AM

It's going to be interesting how different tyre strategies are going to play out:
VER didn't come in and is still on mediums
PER came in for new mediums
LEC came in for new hards

The way things are going, Max' biggest competitor (maybe even for this entire year) might not be LEC but his teammate

///M Power-Belgium · 06-12-2022, 07:25 AM

After just 12 laps , RUS is P4 and already a gap of 11 + sec. WOW !

MAX requested to pit as well...

SEB is going straight through...
