Poll: Saudi Arabia Grand Prix 2022, Jeddah - Race 2

[Snookums]

Again as @Shimmy wants to step back thought I'd set up this weeks race thread while I had some spare time. Thank you Shimmy for doing this previously!

Jeddah
When was the track built?

The Jeddah Corniche Circuit is, you won’t be surprised to hear, a temporary street circuit (albeit adorned with some permanent sections), located on the Corniche – a 30km coastal resort area of the ancient Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah. Designed by the Tilke company, in conjunction with Formula 1’s own Motorsports team – who used Google Earth for their initial investigations into potential layouts – F1’s Ross Brawn said of the track: “What we want to see is a race circuit. We don’t want Mickey Mouse circuits. We don’t want those old classic street circuits with 90 degree turns. We want fast sweeping circuits, circuits which are going to challenge the drivers – and they are going to love it.”

Thank you @Snookums

No worries, I'll try to get them out every week but can't gurantee it. Do mods add the poll?

 

[Snookums]

Aye, whoever is about will do it when the race finishes.

Just realised that "Thank you Snookums" sounds like something someone would say to their wife

Awesome.

Don't. It was the name of my first ever Wow character and that along with The Evil Ginge have always been my go to online names. Really should stop using Snookums at this point

 

[Snookums]

Name changes are my specialty. What would you like?

Nah I've used this for 9 years on the forums. Also I've seen what happens with name changes around here, they never go well

 

[Snookums]

Can we leave this kind of rubbish until some drama occurs in the race? We are not even 15 posts in, and people already showing their classy true colours

thank you. I did post in the general thread about people just leaving this petty **** behind but looks like mod step in is going to be needed sadly.

Hopefully they police the speed delta in quali a bit better than they did last year.

Seeing some cars crawling at 20kph whilst someone was on a hot lap was scary from my armchair.

yeah it was also a bit bum clench sometimes practice and quali

Surely being ground effect cars these will end going air born with bigger incidents. Again that would be another thing a sim would really be able to replicate similar to proposing would it not?

G

Struggling on a crap 4G signal, who has binned it and how bad?

Mick, no update yet, medical car and they haven't shown him or radio comms

EDIT: update he is speaking atleast but still in the car

 

[Snookums]

Lifted out the car now

 

[Snookums]

That was an incredible race, the mid field battle with the Alpines, Bottas, Magnussen was great to watch then the ending with Max and Charles going at it great.

Stroll secured max the win, sector 1 is were Charles was strong so sucks for him. Norris up in P7 is good to see as well, really hoping McLaren make a lot of progress over the coming weeks.

 

[Snookums]

maybe none if they all found in breach

If they find all of them it will likely just be fines or something.
