Poll: Mexican Grand Prix 2022, Mexico City - Race 20

[Stumble Bum]

Easy as you like for Max. Superb as usual.

 

[Kenai]

Again, race not finished, Driver of the day already announced...

This seems to surprise you? The vote closes about 5 laps before the end of the race

Can't wait to see Sergio's dad going mental at the podium ceremony again

 

[el_dazza]

14 wins in a season, mental. I honestly didn't see this coming after the first few races. It's been a battering.

 

[Scam]

Here’s my pessimistic prediction having not watched much coverage; Everyone to talk up the slip stream into turn one massively before the race, Lewis and Max will get a good start but he won’t get past. George will fluff it slightly and lose a place. Then the RB will find its usual extra speed in race pace and Mercs will just follow Max around for the rest of the race. Maybe if we’re lucky Lewis might get a chance halfway through with pit stops etc but if he overtakes Max then Max will just take it back down the straight with their extra £400k.. I mean 6kph. Done and dusted, business as usual for 2022.

Howzat?

Just saying. God that was dull.

 

[UTmaniac]

Should Mercs have split strategy, one going for softs after their only pit?

And stayed out longer on the mediums?

 

[Locky]

What did tell you? Max and RB to drive off into the distance..

 

[cu3ed]

Dear God what an awful season this has been.

 

[Flibster]

Russell gets the fastest lap - 1:20.153

Perez held it until that, with a 1:21.775, so, 1.6s faster.

If I was George I would be fuming at the strategy today.

Shame the footnote on table will have breach of budget
( Sorry couldn't resist)

Did George get fastest lap? I had to turn off before the RB love-in.

Yawn.

 

[Quartz]

Zzzz

Either it was a boring race or the commentary on R5 Live was lacking or both.

It used to close at the last lap. Also logically anything can happen at any time.

Worst season in F1 ever? Absolute dominance by a team who broke the budget cap. It’s pretty sad tbh. Hopefully the penalty helps even things up for 2023.

He was on pretty much new softs and no fuel on board, Checo set that time on mediums with about half a tank.

Yes

well it was a 1 lap push on the last lap for russell, so no need to hold back..
merc were not quite there today, but closer
roll on next year and hopefully will be close all season.

You need to go rewatch some of the Vettel years if you think this is bad.
