Lewis and Russell already at the end of the pit lane and on inters.
F1 2022 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
Track looks challenging, dry in parts , damp in others and wet in some.
A far more apt comparison would be Juventus following Calciopoli, where the players (who did nothing wrong) didn’t lose out on their individual records however the team were reprimanded.
The Olympics comparison doesn’t hold up in any sense, in that every event that I can think of it would have to be a competitor cheating rather than their boss. Desperately trying to cling onto some way where Lewis wins the world title is pretty daft, it’s not like Max is the Red Bull accountant
That is not something I am doing, I dont think it would be right, but cheating is cheating.
Max if I am being honest did deserve his win, strip the team of it, but letting Max keep it, could be an option.
If Red Bull have seriously breached the cap and they cant wiggle out of it legally, which would probably end up in the courts, then the most obvious penalty would be excluding them from this season's constructors.
Why did you stop max there?
We thought you'd aborted.
Says a lot about Perez...

I really don’t like this track. So claustrophobic to watch and very little room to overtake.
Oh I know, others have been saying Max should have had his win removed though which is what I was referring to. Stripping Red Bull given they’re culpable would be entirely fair, Max did have an unfair advantage but unless he was involved in the financial meetings his knowledge of it is very likely to be zero, so punishing him seems very harsh.
Albon looks like he is on ice
The Williams must be an absolute nightmare on a track like this in wet conditions. Top speed is worthless.
OUT IN Q1!
16) Valtteri Bottas, Alfa Romeo
17) Daniel Ricciardo, McLaren
18) Esteban Ocon, Alpine
19) Alex Albon, Williams
20) Nicholas Latifi, Williams

Albon was basically power sliding his way round the track.
I wouldn't be giving Ricciardo a drive ahead of Nick D-V
Unless he’s an idiot, there’s no way he’s unaware of how Red Bull seemingly I’m is always developing to be faster while their competitor have to stop development
If we can’t take seriously what’s been mentioned by Mercedes, can we take seriously what’s been mentioned about the topic by the other teams and the journalists ‘on the pit wall’?
Watching not so great as a spectcle. Playing it on the f1 game, its utterly sensational. One of my favourite tracks now. It relentless. Prefer it to monaco.
Binotto has commented on this as has siedl of mclaren. So its not mercedes alone.
If you’re not involved in finances then how would he know how effective the initial car was and how much improvements cost to make?
You’d have to be an idiot to think drivers look at this kind of thing. I bet Lewis doesn’t file Mercedes tax returns either.
The problem is that nobody cares about the Constructors Championship. If the punishments only effect the CC teams will just cheat to win the the Drivers Championship as that is more high profile.
Q2 and still all on inters
Not sure this is correct, is there not huge amounts of money involved and wind tunnel time all attached to where you finish in the Constructors
Yeah, to the teams that’s the important one. Perception inside and outside the sport is totally different.
They are aware of the developments ongoing in the factory and have a say in how the car is developed. They arent stupid.
So if you cheat to win the DC and get points dropped in the CC then you have more wind tunnel time. Red Bull don't need the money. Millions of people are killing themselves by being addicted to their awful drinks.
Leclerc the first one On slicks in Q2
Lewis and Russell opted for new inters
mmm Leclerc asked for slicks but they put inters on

They're all being asked to comment on a rumour that originated from Mercedes. It's one thing to say what should happen if a team breached the cap, it's another entirely to say that a team has breached the cap.
I dont think Horner, Binotto and co know about other teams' situations with the budget cap and wont know until Wednesday. Toto is the only one talking as if he's had other info given to him.
Mercedes fans might not be but the rest of the world is. Especially every single person employed by every F1 team.
Yeah the drivers is important but you would rather win the drivers though. Merc didn't even celebrate winning the CC last year.
OUT IN Q2!
11) George Russell, Mercedes
12) Lance Stroll, Aston Martin
13) Mick Schumacher, Haas
14) Sebastian Vettel, Aston Martin
15) Zhou Guanyu, Alfa Romeo
Russell out in Q2 massive shock

Russell out in Q2 massive shock
The honda PU has a great torque delivery band. Seeing as both honda powered teams into q3.
have seen 2 other teams talking about it, Ferrari and McLaren
good job aston martin have zero brains
What happened to Russell?
couldn’t get the tyres warmed up, usual mercedes gremlins
Should have left stroll on inters and risked vettel on slicks.
Leclerc has made the call he wants slicks on
most drivers are out on softs
Hamilton seems on it this weekend though.
Leclerc overruling the clown parade.
They may have done on a later date but they didn't on the day I watched the whole after show.
