might have to actually go to bed at a normal time tonight. Its going to be fun seeing max and charles cutting through the field, sainz and perez duking it out on the opening laps... and what strategies the teams use.

ferrari can't screw it up again can they ?

That's a great idea . I've never seen that over here .

But it won't work when driving it in backwards

NickyC · 08-27-2022, 07:50 PM

This should be a great race tomorrow with the starting order!

Weeks of articles saying Merc was bringing miracle upgrades after the break. All ends up being hopium and they qualify behind a Renault.

M5Rick · 08-28-2022, 03:04 AM

^ The others have moved forward too and Merc still on a side road with just sorting their self inflicted bouncing. The whole body looks weird like an oversize maxi dress jutting out at the bottom causing a lot of drag.

The high tech 5kg lighter tub with diagonal orientation is likely still to be fitted probably from Singapore though others say it's already been fitted with Max's hyper speed so more bad news for the other competitors.
As CH was saying the plank TD and rear ride height increase has been tamed on the 18 in such a way to make it even quicker.

Finally the wait is over

This should be fun with Charles and Max starting near the back and carving their way up. Hopefully there’s not the usual carnage in the first corner on the starting lap.

Anyone have a link to the rules update that went into effect this race to combat porpoising? I haven’t seen any article on the F1 or ESPN site.

35-45 min. depends of the traffic .

But I've done it once in 29 min. in the middle of the night .

I'm lucky I still have my driver's license and my car as well...

Marko is taking no prisoners as he has collared Checo for not grabbing pole with his higher top speed, Ferrari was struggling all along telling Leclerc to give Sainz a tow as a last resort. Hopefully Checo can give Carlito a hard time from the start, he usually is better in the race especially as it's expected to be dry.

Lets hope for a crash free race
