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

[Mr Jack]

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

If Max is 2nd, he'll be shuffled out of the way.

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

Cant beat the OG brundle grid walk

 

[Entai]

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

Well if they do always back max, they might find themselves loosing the championship.

Any team back the driver ahead in the points.

 

[Kautya]

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.

He branded that himself though after qualy that he couldnt create that if he did another 1000 laps .

 

[CaptainRAVE]

I have a feeling this is going to be a long one.

 

[Entai]

If Max is 2nd, he'll be shuffled out of the way.

Not a hope, mark my words.

Only way max gets past, is clean overtake on pace, or checo retires.

 

[muon]

He branded that himself though after qualy that he couldnt create that if he did another 1000 laps .

I don't understand why he would say that. I feel like he might be protecting Max's ego.

 

[Kautya]

Well if they do always back max, they might find themselves loosing the championship.

Any team back the driver ahead in the points.

Last year was evidence of that. They willingly gave up constructors to ensure Max got drivers. Using Checo as sacrificial lamb just to take off the fastest lap points off Lewis in process giving up grid position for constructors.

He doesn’t have the pace to do that every week.

 

[Slam62]

2 hrs limit, or I suppose if red flags longer but still limited.

 

[Slam62]

He doesn’t have the pace to do that every week.

Max is finished now.

 

[muon]

He doesn’t have the pace to do that every week.

So he doesn't believe he can win the WDC? A lot of the drivers on the grid believe they are capable of winning with the lead car. Ricciardo for example would never say that.

 

[Mr Jack]

Graphic showed Sainz as a pit lane start, but I thought I saw his car on the grid?

 

[Kautya]

That shot of Checo is surprisingly similar to looking like Horner.

 

[Entai]

Last year was evidence of that. They willingly gave up constructors to ensure Max got drivers. Using Checo as sacrificial lamb just to take off the fastest lap points off Lewis in process giving up grid position for constructors.

Checo was never at any point ahead of max in the points and on course for a championship.

As I say if checo gets ahead on points and stays there, in the mix or ahead of Ferraris, then Checo will be number one not max.

RB just want drivers championships, they do not care with who.

 

[Stumble Bum]

If Max is 2nd, he'll be shuffled out of the way.

Nonsense, it's the 2nd race of the year.

 

[el_dazza]

Nonsense, it's the 2nd race of the year.

They say that like Mercedes would never do that for Hamilton.. right?

 

[muon]

Nonsense, it's the 2nd race of the year.

It's gonna be a tight season. It is what I would do.

 

[Tigget]

RB just want drivers championships, they do not care with who.

All you do is chat utter **** anti-RBR rhetoric with no clue what you’re talking about. I worked for them for years (along with working for 2 others teams), they focus solely on constructors, the drivers is a bonus. Same for all teams.

 

[Tigget]

Very clean start so far. Always surprising on this track. Mixed up line up now, should be interesting.
