Forgot it was on to be honest.

F1 2022 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
they’ve worked out how to deal with the porpoising; toto has been on to race control and demanded that the other teams go slower so they can be competitive again.
Must be running a different simulation to everyone else.
Parc ferme Conditions
Despite this morning being a practice session, as qualifying happened yesterday, there can be no further changes to these cars before the Sprint gets underway.
So, however these cars have been set up will have to last them for the day- can all the teams make it work?

I would agree, if not for the injustice last season!For once it's nice to see Mercedes struggling to nail something isn't it?
Over the last 8 years they've been smugly imperious, a seemingly unstoppable well oiled machine. Even when things look bad they still came out on top.
This time though they've got it very badly wrong
Merc with fuel in it seems to bring them forward, they clearly just can't get one lap pace out of the thing.
This feels like one of those McLaren years for Lewis. He won’t beat his teammate but can see him winning one race at some point.
Those Ferrari road cars they're driving are gorgeous, I'd love to get to drive one, or even better own one!
Was I right in hearing the sprint is a race in its own right but yesterday's pole remains the same for the race regardless where they finish today?
So no matter where he finishes today, Max is on pole?

He has the pole position in the record books from yesterday's quali
But the race start order will be determined by the sprint race
So if max was to finish 2nd in the sprint race he starts second but in the record books had the pole at imola 2022
As far as I know it just counts as a pole for Max but if he doesn't finish first he won't start from pole position regardless. (Do correct me if i'm wrong but that's how I've understood it since the start of these sprint races)
OK thanks that's what I thought, as last year they started the race based on their sprint finish position and qualifying was to determine their starting position for the sprint
But could have sworn sky said there'd been a rule change and they start based on their qualifying positions but must have misheard, the superbru prediction implied the sprint picks the race grid order too.

So how many laps before Latifi brings a red flag then?
On a human note, driving on the edge whilst everyone is expecting you to crash or do something stupid must be super difficult.
Italy Emilia Romagna GP Sprint Race
so here we go , the sprint race and rain is psoosible.
This is going to be a shite race tomorrow, doubt we will get going if people keep spinning off.
what a start by Leclerc
That red bull bogs down so much with Max.
Perez on the other hand off like a rocket.

FFS SC in the sprint, last thing they wanted.
Think I'd prefer red flags in the sprint as they're so short it negates a large section of it with the SC
Medium tyre runners will be cursing
That Haas nearly got the McLaren but it ran out of space
K Mag given a black and white flag for weaving.
Going to be a stinky race without rain
that HAAS does look pretty good, better than the Merecedes.
i bet it will be the first year that dts doesn’t bother following everything they do.
Hope we get some rain
Haas really screwed up the tyre choice. Shame.
That Alpine also looks badly set up.
Fun front 6 though, 2 Ferraris, 2 RBs, 2 McLarens

Lewis and Russel and really struggling
This broadcast is so awful. Can see Max closing on Leclerc on the timings but nah we'll just watch this boring DRS train of Mercedes thanks.
Leclerc and Max are in a league of their own at the moment. Pretty bobbin's sprint race though, Imola isn't the best track for it.
great move from verstappen.
Fantastic few laps of driving by Verstappen.
Great move by Max
Has Leclerc lost every 1v1 duel with Verstappen so far this season? Reliability issues aside, Max always seems to come out on top in these duels.
Excellent from both.
Leclerc still in touch with Max could get him again on the straight
so there has been a pass for the lead in a sprint race for the first time.
Max has pulled out some gap already, great drive from him.
