Poll: Dutch Grand Prix 2022, Circuit Zandvoort - Race 15

Seriously, they've got 4k (occasionally 8k) cameras with good lenses. One good shot of each of the morons with flares, kick them out now, give them a lifetime ban from FIA events.

The race is over, does it matter?

 

[Mesai]

Alpine really screwed up losing Alonso next year.

Toto: 'nice foorth place Lewees'
Lewis: 'go and #%#@ yself you *#%#'

 

[booyaka]

Strange race ruined yet again by tyre changes during vsc. It should be banned

Agree - 1st place is the worst place to be under Safety car/VSC

 

[chrismscotland]

I don't get all the moaning about tyre changes during VSC/Safety Car, Red Flags, the rules are the rules are its luck of draw sometimes as much as anything, its part of the sport.
How dull would F1 be if we didn't have safety cars, etc?

 

[azazl187]

Russell pitted before he was told to box by the looks of it which means it was totally his decision

 

[Parky]

Not going down the conspiracy theories route, but I'd be curious to see why they let Tsunoda back out in the first place? Was he not already 2+ laps down by the time he rejoined? Just seems near pointless to continue at that stage.

 

[adam cool dude]

Regardless what happened they should have both pitted for softs to get the 2/3. They were never going to beat max with that last safety car anyway.

 

[muon]

Worth noting Red Bull did give up the lead.

"Let" him back out? Because they thought the car was fine - why wouldn't they run the car - 2 laps down or now? Always useful data to collect

 

[Mesai]

It was horrendous, Crofty is dire, if Martin Brundle is going to miss a race then frankly I'd rather his son Alex was there, he's great on the F2/F3 races

You thought they'd be full from prior Merc dominance a.k.a some of the most boring races I've every watched.

The race is over, does it matter?

Agreed, I'm completely against them during any part of the actual race, quali, etc., but it's fair to celebrate at the end.

The moaning is squarely down to who lost out. If it was the other way round, it'd be calls of amazing strategy, or a genius driving mind.

DC doing the interviews at a red bull win?

Aaand muted before the slurping starts...

The entire field were running through the pits weren't they?

 

[chrismscotland]

Yep

 

[Mr Jack]

Surprisingly decent race. Well done Max. Big mistake from Merc not to put Lewis to softs, cost them a double podium today, but no chance they could beat Max.

Merc feel like they're a drop of luck away from a win. Had the measure of Ferrari today.

vs 90min of the British drooling over a German team?

 

[azazl187]

Oh yea but Merc told him to come in late, he would have gone past otherwise. Good shout from him, very selfishly but why would you give up a potential 2nd

 

[Feek]

Oh no, here’s DC. I’m amazed he isn’t doing the interview from behind Max

Can’t knock the result, totally expected. Something different would have been nice but realistically it was never likely to be any different.

 

[Mesai]

Oh no, here’s DC. I’m amazed he isn’t doing the interview from behind Max

Crofty and Button used up all the lube.
