Yeah, did not expect that!
F1 2022 Season

The corner speed is killing RB
Yeah he’s doing great. Seems Russell is catching up to Perez too?
Have they gone for a comparatively lower downforce set up too?
Sainz though into a DRS train now.
The Merc is fast in race setup. Shocked Lewis is holding on.
Perez closer to Russell than to Hamilton
This race will be decided by the pitstops
Red bull win then.
Mercedes has decent pace, if they can stretch the stints they may cause an upset.
Hamilton is good on tyres too, where others may struggle on a 1 he might be able to competitively pull it off.
Charles is tired of hearing 'plan B'
Lewis well Infront of Perez and Russell catching Perez
Could another 3rd be on for Lewis or even better !
Could another 3rd be on for Lewis or even better !
Maybe Perez is going for a 1 stop so backed off otherwise not a good sign from a tyre wear perspective. Also looks impossible to overtake in top 10 now it’s settled down.
Hopefully
Wonder if Max should think about dropping back a second for cleaner air if he isn’t going to get past. On the other hand where he is keeps him closer for pit stops and also pressure on Leclerc to force a mistake.
I think RB need an aggressive pitstop strategy to win this, like last year.
Lewis is great on his tyres, he might be able to do the 1 stop where others might not.
At the moment he’s lapping at the same pace as the two in front. He’d need something special to get ahead of either though.
Epic from Charles to hold off Max early on there.
Seems he has actually pulled back now.
Maybe trying to force a pit, Max in clean air should get a decent advantage.
Verstappen dropping off now
I don't think a 1 stop is a good idea
Graining on leclercs right front tire
Think Ferrari will wait to put until RB pit Max?
Kravitz just going full Partridge out of nowhere for about a solid minute 
Agreed, he needs a DNF realistic or a bad pit to fo better than 3rd
2 second gap now
It’s only a matter of time till the Ferrari goes up in flames in this heat
Must be two stops now for Max
I think a two stop is the only way to win this race. Wonder when Ferrari will box Leclerc.
We’re all thinking itIt’s only a matter of time till the Ferrari goes up in flames in this heat
WOW 33 seconds for a pit.
Lecclerc bins it
Leclerc done
Wow what the feck
what’s happened there?! another failure?
Did his engine fail?
What the hell!
