Poll: Japanese Grand Prix 2022, Suzuka Circuit - Race 18

[GravyMonster]

Ah, I'd only seen FP1 result when I posted. Didn't realise FP2 had just finished.

 

[Stu999]

#earlycrew - let’s go for qualifying.

 

[Stumble Bum]

I have missed this track.

 

[UTmaniac]

Mercs gambling a bit, only teams running mediums in q1. Lewis 18th, Russell 15th with ~6mins left.

Saving some fresh softs for the race? Seem to be slow in the dry, wonder whether there running a more wet focused setup in anticipation of rain tomorrow.

 

[UTmaniac]

Norris taking a really tight line to the start/finish line compared to all others I've seen!

Maybe Mercs bedding in those mediums for the race?

 

[Yaayuh!]

That Ferrari fan “Hire me as a strategist”.

Brilliant.

 

[Dr Jack]

Russell and Hamilton doing their first Q3 runs on used softs.

 

[UTmaniac]

WTH Max?!! Weaving on a bend, Norris has to take massive evasive action.

 

[el_dazza]

That's got to be a penalty surely.

 

[Stumble Bum]

That was a squeaky bum moment between Lando and Max.

 

[Stu999]

Both on warm up laps though, doubt there will be a penalty.

Lando was on an outlap no?

 

[UTmaniac]

Seb getting all emotional about his last qualifying at Suzuka.

 

[el_dazza]

Well Leclerc looked nailed on for pole after that middle sector but misses out by 0.01!

 

[PikeyPriest]

De Vries signed to a team for next year? I’ve seen rumours but nothing concrete. Well deserved if true, his performance deserved recognition.

Yeah, 0.2 up and then lost it through the chicane, Sainz close too.

Ferrari and RB miles ahead of the rest.

Confirmed on the F1 website. He's going to AlphaTauri. Gasly to Alpine.

 

[MooMoo444]

Max will disappear into the distance it looks like. Here’s hoping that the mercs are able to get in the action.

 

[Dr Jack]

Rain tomorrow will make things very different.
