Formula One starts this weekend, am I the only fan?

I think they need to clarify some rules for the "give up your place" stuff. Maybe something like no DRS when giving up a place.

Isn’t the plan to do away with DRS if the new 2022 regulations work? I was never a fan of DRS. I felt it gave too big of an advantage to the following car. I always preferred what Indycar did with the push to pass button. I know extra boost doesn’t work quite the same in F1 with all the different manufacturers, but if nothing else, don’t make it so you have to be 1 second or less behind, you can use it whenever you want, but there is a limited amount of times you can use it per race.

F1 won’t be the same next year without Kimi. Great livery from Alpha Romeo this weekend.

Max takes the Pole for the final race:

We’ll see how Max going out on softs tomorrow holds up. I think that flat spot on the mediums in Q2 is going to bite them.

That tow in Q3 was a pretty slick move especially giving Perez one back on Max’s in lap.

It’s about to go down. Oh man, I just hope it’s clean and not decided by a wreck or the stewards.

 

[mramseyISU]

Max just got hosed by the stewards.

 

[JHUNSY]

Wow, no chance the advantage was fully given back.

The question is can Checo hold on to his tires long enough to be able to stretch and/or pass Lewis (if he stops) should Max have to make a stop here in the next handful?

I think that’s a tough one but maybe RB could turn an advantage of it. We’ll see.

CHECOOOO!! Magnificent effort.

“Dangerous driving”

Lewis is a whiner. Does he expect places to just be handed over to him?

 

[cycloner29]

Max got a really poor start, throw in the softs he started on, not what he needed.

Doesnt look like it would have made much of a difference.

No matter who wins today I have to say I really like the onboard with Leclere.

 

[JHUNSY]

Here is where we see it heat up. Can Max do it?

Lewis is still setting purple sectors so who knows.

 

[mramseyISU]

If Max does win this thing I’ll be getting a Red Bull from the gas station to mark the occasion.

 

[AgronAlum]

Nicely timed safety car for Max.

He is probably one of the best drivers ever, but this is why I don’t root for him. All race drivers, at least open wheel have an issue with being whiny, but Lewis seems to be the best at that as well as driving.
