Poll: Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2022, Baku - Race 8

[Flibster]

Perez radio - Yeah, no ******* tow man. What was wrong with the engine?

Pit - We'll discuss when you're back in.

 

[Mr Jack]

Peréz ahead of Max again! Sainz drops the ball. Russell again ahead of Lewis. Tomorrow should be fun.

 

[TheGamingGeneral]

Very pleased to see how Perez is performing at the moment, though sadly I think if he keeps it up he is going to get Mark Webbered!

 

[UTmaniac]

That was almost certainly more entertaining than tomorrow will be, ragged on the edge stuff by top4.

 

[Mr Jack]

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.

343/342 in the speed trap vs. 337/335 according to live timing. Probably more to do with setup choice than raw power.

 

[uscool]

No tow for Max. Shame.

Ferrari didn't either when they could have

Red Bull always seem to nail setup for each track. I guess a lot of it must come from having a weaker engine over the years so getting setup perfect has always been a must.

Missed most of it as was out .... what happened to the McLarens?

Just too slow and were poor in sector 3 hinting at crap top speed too so don't expect much during the race. Noris could have possibly got into the top 10 by a tenth or so, but blew it in the middle sector.

Hmm... I'm not convinced RB have the better setup. If Sainz hadn't messed up his final run they'd have ended 3rd and 4th on the grid, and while they are going to be quick on the straights, where the DRS zones are, I think they will struggle to be close enough to make that count.

When are people going to face facts that Lewis has been found out to be bang average..

Here we go with the hot takes again.

 

[utajoker]

Nothing on the hamilton investigation?

 

[Mr Jack]

No further action. Ditto the two Haas.

Max too.

 

[mjt]

Max too.

I heard this Senna bloke was a bit **** as well. Why else would he have stacked it??

 

[JRS]

For all his ability Charles doesn't gel with street circuits

If that's 'not gelling' then I reckon Ferrari will take it...

 

[uscool]

Watching both mercs it did seem Russell's looked smoother especially on the straights

Heard talk Lewis car they are trying more stuff on with setups ?

 

[uscool]

Looked pretty good

 

[Junglist]

Looked pretty good

Aha, yeah I said that just before he absolutely nailed his final lap.

He does have a bit of bad form at street circuits though. Hopefully he can hold it together tomorrow
