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

Maybe Russell just did a better job and finds the car's setup more suited to his driving style. If Lewis gets on the podium then he'll need to luck into it...

Well George Russell was 1.2s slower in qualifying in Bahrain.

Doesn't sound like the car is very good and is not predictable.

 

[Bazzards]

The pace is not in Lewis car. Either driver or setup.

 

[the wopster]

Come on Ferrari, anyone but crash and RB

 

[adam cool dude]

The pace is there in the car, look at Russell

There really isn't. George was still 3/4 of a second slower over the lap.

Yeah, Hamilton just has setup problems this week I guess. It happens, but usually the car has been strong enough to mask it for the most part. This year however...

I don’t mean the car is fast, what I was saying the pace was there in the car to get out of Q1

 

[Kenai]

4th to 18th within 0.9s must be one of the closest Q1 groupings for quite a while?

Edit - would appear Jeddah last year was equally close

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Massive

 

[the wopster]

Ouch

 

[Flibster]

Ow.

 

[Mr Jack]

That looked bad. No sign of movement either.

 

[Slam62]

Unsafe track is not fit for purpose

 

[muon]

They've stopped showing pictures.

 

[adam cool dude]

That looks bad.

 

[Locky]

Has Lewis been found out to be an average driver in a really good car?

 

[Flibster]

Medical Car on site.

 

[iamtheoneneo]

Joke weekend.

 

[SpeedFreak]

I'm nervous

 

[the wopster]

Has Lewis been found out to be an average driver in a really good car?

Or a very good driver, in a poor car this year?

 

[muon]

Has Lewis been found out to be an average driver in a really good car?

Yeh apparently that's been the case for the last 15 years. Alonso, Button, Rosberg, Bottas must all have been rubbish as well.

That all must be true because of qualifying today.

Vettel must also be rubbish, what has he done outside of RBR.

 

[el_dazza]

That's a very big hit.
