Poll: Australian Grand Prix 2022, Melbourne - Race 3

[chrismscotland]

Ferrari and Leclerc will take some stopping this year

 

[the wopster]

There was no point letting them fight and possibly both going out when there's zero threat from behind. Hamilton just unlucky he was behind after the SC timing

He’s not having much luck with safety cars lately

Yeah lewis was faster before the SC and generally faster than George but the SC benefited George otherwise he would have been behind.

They were my pick in the poll on the other thread

Exactly that, Mercedes are playing the team game and Hamilton just highlighting it makes his Championship difficult.

Still, Mercedes now lead the Constructors and Russell holds P2.

To finish first, first you have to finish...

Yes albon! Great result

He never stopped, he’ll be disqualified.

EDIT: ignore me, I stopped watching and missed the end haha. Yes great result!

Loving the karma coming back to haunt Max. Keep it up

 

[copycatuk]

He stopped no ?

 

[chrismscotland]

I think he did - he's showing as being on softs at the end

 

[JRS]

He stopped just before his final lap.

He stopped on the final lap to take P10

Well done Charles, a perfect race.

Also, it’s confirms what some people were saying before the race, Russell DOMINATED seven-time world champion Hamilton and Lewis should retire. /s

 

[Tigget]

He stopped just before his final lap.

Yeah I just noticed and edited to say so, good on him.

I’d prefer someone to compete with Charles, rather than be petty towards a driver for a mistake race officials made last year. Seriously, several posters need to grow up.

Ignoring the final race, Max has a lot of karma coming his way for his behaviour across the whole of the last season

Ah yes, we don’t want aggressive racing either. Just DRS passes.

This, some posters in this thread need to remember that

It’s not just about Masi’s decision in AD, it’s Max (and RBR’s) personality and they way Max conducted himself throughout last season.

*Edit* someone best me to it.

There’s aggressive racing and then there’s dangerous racing and last season Max leaned more toward the dangerous part

Without looking at the writing of the rules, if I was Williams I might have tried pitting at the end of the last lap itself, as their pit stall is well before the finish line.

Not worth it as they would have risked a point, but if they were going to miss out then I'd have given it a go and argue about it later.
