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

And keep your grid position? Thought no changes where allowed

Fair point, yeah forgot that, pathetic rule, never had it when i worked in F1.

 

[Entai]

You're not allowed to to setup changes under parc ferme. What you qualify is (mostly) what you race.

You can: change cooling through radiator blanking, brake duct blanking, front wing adjustments, fuel can e added or removed, engine can be started and fluids changed/topped up and so on.

Rear wing adjustments - nope.
Suspension adjustments - nope.

Indeed you are right, I was wrong.

Still a pathetic rule, and one that encourages processional races, not discourages.

Like today, Lewis running same setup, means he will not be likeky to gain many places.

Be free to change setup but not parts, could be enough for him to move up the grid well.

Russell is up in 6th, Lewis should have been about there, and could have worked up towards that, given free reign on setup.

 

[Locky]

I don't think Lewis will finish Top 10 today unless there is Many safety cars and retirements.

Looks like Tsunoda won't make the start - stopped out on track - confirmed another non-starter alongside Mick

 

[Flibster]

So, Hond...Umm Red Bull Powertrains still not fixed then?

Fuel pressure issue with full tanks perhaps?

Yeap seemingly engine issues. Wonder if that will be giving RBR some worries.

 

[RobHu]

Cant believe they haven't changed anything. Stick Russell's setup on and see what happens

They might think the setup will work better with a higher fuel load/race conditions?

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Looking forward to this

 

[Mr Jack]

Seems likely, either that or they really have no idea what will help or hinder.

What is JYS prattling on about?

 

[Psycho Ned]

Can see it being right chaos to be honest. F2 was really quiet but that was more the exception than the rule!

Be amazed if we don't get at least 1 safety car, probably in the first minute of the race!

Something about look at this crowd in a country where you're forced to cover up

Watching f1tv, interesting style on the grid 'walk' Will Buxton jumping around like he's got ants in his pants.

 

[adam cool dude]

Will Perez be allowed to win this or will he need to move over?

 

[Kautya]

Will Perez be allowed to win this or will he need to move over?

That depends who survives Turn 1.

He was sweating by the end of it lol

 

[Entai]

If he is in front , and staying there due to good pace, he will be allowed to win.

Will be very interesting to see in a few races time, if Checo has a points advantage over Max, and is ahead of the Ferraris will RB make Checo number one?

 

[Slam62]

Toto sanguine about the whole thing

Firstly, I dont see Checo doing that quite often and secondly RBR will always back Max.

 

[muon]

What's this "lap of his life" nonsense. He just snatched pole, and he should be confident in doing this every week. Shouldn't think of it as a fortunate one-off.
