I think Ferrari was just being waaaay over cautious.
They already had 1 driver DNF and did not want to take a chance on the tires not lasting so they called Sainz in and lost 1 place as a result which is way better than no places

I think LeClerc did

up. Was just a little too hot into that corner.

He lost more than 1 place, he finished in 5th.

elff · « **Reply #3852 on:** July 27, 2022, 08:22:05 PM »

I thought he was only in 4th at the time.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #3853 on:** July 27, 2022, 10:07:37 PM »

I think he got to second or third and then they called him in to pit.

Critterman · « **Reply #3854 on:** July 28, 2022, 05:43:28 PM »

He was fighting with Perez at the time for second, and finally got the position all the while they were telling him to come in for tires.

Still not reading comments. Haven?t watched any races.
On a train from Avignon to Paris. Been a pretty amazing trip. We are in Paris for one day and then begin the long journey home.

Looks like Ferrari hosed themselves again.

Critterman · « **Reply #3857 on:** July 31, 2022, 05:09:46 PM »

Russell gets his 1st pole
RedBull has a horrible qualifying
Max makes a great recovery
Merc does well
Ferrari who knows what is going on there

Did I miss anything?

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #3858 on:** July 31, 2022, 09:07:42 PM »

Vettel is retiring at the end of this season.

Other wise you got it.

It was an interesting race. I did not expect to see the results we had today. MB, for the first time, in a long time looked really good. Finishing like that just before the break is going to be a huge moral boost.
RB recovered very well. Ferrari just seems to miss, but at least they did not DNF.

There was some nice side by side driving and passing.

Ouch!

But hey he earned it.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #3862 on:** August 02, 2022, 08:23:41 PM »

You know he could still win Merc's employee of the month too.

GJ are you back on this side of the pond or were there issues at customs?

Back and all caught up on races.
Happy to see MB back in the mix
RB clearly the best car in the race
Ferrari needs the break more than anyone.

Customs were a breeze everywhere. Athens- 90 seconds
Italy- 0 seconds
France- 0 seconds
London- 2 minutes
San Diego- 5 minutes and no declarations questions at all. Wait in line for two families ahead of us, then our turn. Stamp stamp- Welcome Home

Easy.

So what where you doing overseas? Work or vacay?

elff · « **Reply #3865 on:** August 13, 2022, 09:55:21 PM »

I had a similar experience coming back into the country
but leaving Germany was crazy. Very glad I got to the Airport 3 hrs early because I needed almost all if it.

Found my family in Italy.

^ and they admitted to being related to you?

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #3868 on:** August 18, 2022, 10:00:50 PM »

They didn't speak English, ever seen Nat Lampoon's European vacation?

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #3869 on:** August 26, 2022, 09:44:13 PM »

Spa this weekend hope the Beta max was set.

elff · « **Reply #3870 on:** August 27, 2022, 10:21:12 AM »

Qualifying has a slight delay.

Waiting for it to start

Critterman · « **Reply #3871 on:** August 28, 2022, 11:59:54 AM »

Well if anyone ever had any doubts about Red Bull and Verstappen they can stop wondering. As much of a Hamilton fan as I am, I think he should have gotten a penalty. I'm guessing because the usual penalty is 5 seconds and he was already last in the race there was no need.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #3872 on:** August 28, 2022, 08:43:58 PM »

No need for a 5 second penalty when he ends up DNF.

Critterman · « **Reply #3873 on:** August 30, 2022, 05:38:26 PM »

My thoughts exactly. But they could have given him grid spots in the next race.

Next race is this weekend by the way, set the betamax.

elff · « **Reply #3874 on:** August 30, 2022, 07:39:40 PM »

I think the only thing that saved Hamilton from a penalty is that Alonso finished the race in 5th.

Ferrari was deja vu. Pit LeClerc and lose a place. WTF???
I get the speeding in the pits. His sensor fried due to the tear away. I kind of feel that penalty was a little lame but rules are rules

Verstappen is definitely in a league of his own at the moment. But, I am happy to see Checo spreading the gap between second and third place. He is still doing everything and more that Red Bull wanted from him. Because of that, Red Bull has a healthy lead in the constructors.

Gasly ended up having a pretty good result after starting from the Pit Lane.

Overall it was a fun race to watch. Seeing 4 cars side by at one point was kind of Cray Cray.
