Poll: Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2022, Baku - Race 8

I think Russell will beat Hamilton this season. Definitely driving better this half of the season.

Probs if he is the one doing the experimenting trying to fix to fix car.

Anyone who has access to the timings find out the top speeds of the Mclaren's relative to other cars please...

Could go either way for that Hamilton incident. He was very very slow there.

The timings on F1TV don't show any of that.

 

[Flibster]

That in general or at this track also?

Apparently that's been happening all year.

 

[utajoker]

Hamiltons bottoming out is redicous

 

[Flibster]

That looks so uncomfortable in the Merc.

 

[Junglist]

No tow for Max. Shame.

 

[Flibster]

Verstappen radio - Why am I ahead?

Pit - Other car has an issue.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Leclerc has this.

 

[Flibster]

Sainz slides it to the wall again. Sooo close.

 

[el_dazza]

What a lap from Leclerc.

 

[Flibster]

Perez P2!

 

[Junglist]

Beautiful lap by Charles. Great lap by Checo

 

[cuke2u]

Pole is academic, RB's are 9kph faster on the straights so the race could be tasty...

 

[uscool]

Damn impressive from Charles, Race wise think Redbull will have the edge with the straights

 

[Junglist]

Either give me a Ferrari win or a Checo win and I’ll be happy tomorrow

Yep I thought this is one of the tracks you want to be 2nd or 3rd or similar to get a massive tow on the first lap.

It's crucial for Perez to get ahead of Leclerc in order to keep Max behind.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Have to say, this was an exciting quali. I don't usually find they are these days, even Monaco tbh.
Great lap for Leclerc. Like others have said, think Red Bull will be looking pretty handy for the win though.

Edit: And Russell actually, well done getting that car to 5th.

Is that taking into account drs and/or slipstream? Or just from other running they’ve been doing? That Honda unit is a beast if so.
