Re: 2022 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Race Thread

Vettel dropped 10 car lengths behind webber though didn't he, not the SC. And that was the difference.

Re: When, and to where, will Ricciardo move? [A: 2019, Renau

I think as soon as Christian told the media that Max should build the team around him Daniel was looking for an out, what hope do you have when your boss says something like that, there is only one option and that is to leave and seek alternative arrangements.

Re: Top Ten Chassis of 2015

I think the Red Bull was definitely the best, one renault got the engine into a usable state they could finally take advantage of the chassis. It's a pity they didn't have more power so they could compete with Mercedes. As for the other teams pretty much agree with MDS.
