F1 2022: Spanish GP - Barcelona (May 22)

3798j · 05-22-2022, 08:49 AM

Nothing more boring than a DRS pass.

GuidoK · 05-22-2022, 08:50 AM

At least we now know that the merc's have enough top speed and that RUS can defend like crazy.

Blindside_137 · 05-22-2022, 08:51 AM

Max is three seconds quicker than George right now.

Goddamn i just saw that. So Red Bull definitely has a plan because he's really moving on those softs. Wow

But usually RB has good adaptive strategy

MAX can take it all ...

33/66 laps !

What a mess is going on !!!

Blindside_137 · 05-22-2022, 08:53 AM

Yea it's a three stopper for max especially if the softs are that much quicker.

GuidoK · 05-22-2022, 08:55 AM

So am I correct that Max will be closing the gap he lost at pitstop (over 20sec) in 7 laps?

That is crazy

Of course he can with MAX without DRS ...

MAX DRS goes open and closed again in 0.3 sec !

Think MAX will destroy that F* thing after the race !

That's what it seems like. That's insane.

Mr Pete · 05-22-2022, 08:57 AM

Max pitted for softs, about 13 sec back on Russell. I hit the bathroom, checked the race for a sec, drank some water, browsed this forum for a bit, now he's about to pass Russell. Unreal

GuidoK · 05-22-2022, 08:58 AM

Max already now passed RUS.

Crazy!

So it will probably end in:

1 VER
2 PER
3 RUS

Positive . But MAX has to pit again for the end ...

And he can lead the WDC !

Too bad for Charlie !

Yea and he already has a 20s lead that will continue to grow. Can probably come in for brand new softs with 15 laps left

Mr Pete · 05-22-2022, 09:01 AM

It's amazing seeing race strategy unfold in real time. Sergio pitted, now in 2nd. Checo will hold off Russell, and Max will still have to pit at some point, but will still come out first. God I feel horrible for Charles.

GuidoK · 05-22-2022, 09:03 AM

BTW nice to see, after Miami, all the specator stands completely packed.
And no fake water, people peeing in pools

etc etc.

I guess this is why the more historical GP's do it more for me.

TheBingoBalls · 05-22-2022, 09:04 AM

Looks like Mercedes has made progress with fixing the W13. RB is still the superior car and unfortunately, seems like Ferrari has come back down to earth.

Just joined..not that DRS again !

///M Power-Belgium · 05-22-2022, 09:09 AM

MAX in pit ! Left the pit with mediums . P2 behind Checo .

It's looking good ...

GuidoK · 05-22-2022, 09:10 AM

Wow that was close for Max' pit.
But very fast and stayed in front of RUS.
