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

[lsg1r]

I hope you're right, I'm losing faith.

I don't think this love in will last

Supposedly they didn't change Hamiltons set up too much from yesterday and to be fair today's race was a fair bit of bad luck/timing for the end result.

And don't forget Russell was top 5 for most of the race, albeit not really racing the ferrari/red bulls, so while they're not there yet, they're far closer than anybody else at catching up.

And there you have it ladies and gentlemen, two of the best racing for the win with total respect for each other . Not a huge max fan but he definitely had his thinking head after lap 46 and executed a perfect place to overtake overtake and make it stick on the next lap.


Tough luck Checo and a decent performance from George.

At this rate Leclerc will be driver of the day every race. He’s driving brilliantly and seems to be the fan favourite currently.

It’ll be interesting to see if there are circuits coming up that favour either Ferrari or RB.

I think all of Verstappen's rivals will be the fan favourite.

 

[Concrete]

What the hell does the pit lane closure have to do with Max?

Nothing?

maybe in the UK where everyone is butthurt about Hamilton, elsewhere nah - seen Jamaica? Outside the UK people are not a fan

You still didn't answer my question, yet you mention Charles and driver of the day again?

What for? Gifted a place on Perez and then lost a place on raw pace to Max, how is he driver of the day?

And yet anyone other than Max gets driver of the day again this season…

Where did he even mention Hamilton? You must be another obsessed with him.

 

[Slam62]

Nothing?

Well Verstappen wouldn't have won without the first vsc, or safety car, the second one screwed Lewis and no one else.

Why would I give xxxx about what people in Jamaica think?

 

[PikeyPriest]

It would be the same for LeClerc though. The only loser at the front was Perez.

Great to see the cars able to follow well and fight. Hopefully it last the season!

Well duh

 

[Journey]

DOTD for me was a tie between Leclerc and that guy who crashed again, as without him the race would have been a precession at the front.

Pretty sure Leclerc was on course to jump Perez anyway after they bluffed Perez into pitting into traffic behind Russell.

Have you seen Jamaica outside (not great) tourist areas? I for one do not care what they think...

He played Max like a fiddle for several laps when Max had the pace and tyre advantage and if it wasn't for the safety car Max wouldn't have won.

Also ferrari dummed redbull into pitting early they would have got that position off perez

 

[Locky]

Lets all agree that Perez was shafted today and would have been great to see him win (despite me hating RBR)

 

[Flibster]

So it only took 2 races and 6/7(?) failed overtakes for Verstappen to finally figure out what was going on. Or maybe he didn't and was told by the pit lane what to do.

 

[PikeyPriest]

Agreed. Really sad he didn’t get a podium after such a great lap yesterday.

He gets shafted every race
