Good god did Chris Harris look creepy as all hell on the grid walk.

 

[Dr Jack]

Predictions? I'm going Piastri-Leclerc-Antonelli for the podium.

Pleeeese don’t be another bore-fest!

Can't really remember too many classics here tbh!

Grosjean using the barrier as a tin opener on his car being the main thing that sticks in my head though I think that was the race they did the outer circuit.

Hadjar to Red Bull soon the way its going. Should have kept Perez.

 

[JonRGV250]

Brilliant Lando!

 

[scarps]

Think I jinxed him, terrible start

 

[Trusty]

Cracking start from Lando

 

[Psycho Ned]

Lando got a good start the end of the world is nigh!

 

[Dr Jack]

Cracking start from Lando!

 

[spook2575]

Rocket start by lando

 

[Flibster]

Lando got a good start the end of the world is nigh!

Wasn't on pole.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Wait, he got a good start?

 

[Flibster]

Race control - Antonelli lap deleted - track limits turn 7 lap 1

 

[Journey]

Is not that relevant in 2022 if your max verstappen. But in 2025 when the competition is looking a lot closer, qualifying 6th/7th, with 6 world class drivers in very close machinery in front of you, it's a lot more relevant.

So it was a nothing burger so far then?

 

[Flibster]

Race control - Incident involving Norris noted - False start - out of position

 

[Psycho Ned]

Haha Lando possibly jumped the start.

Explains a whole lot

 

[Flibster]

Oh well, maybe not such a good start then.
