Re: Zero tolerance track limits rules for 2022
Race Control is going to stop giving advice to the teams to give back places, this is the most important part of all this.

Re: Official Max Verstappen thread
How short and selective memories can be. Bested in one race by Leclerc and suddenly he's can't race. Verstappen has been one of the best wheel to wheel racers since he came into the sport and will continue to be so. This narrative that he will struggle if the FIA stop drivers forcing eachother off e...

Re: Leclerc vs Sainz
In the recent beyond the grid podcast Sainz said he likes a car with understeer. Have I imagined it, or has Leclerc said in the past that he likes his car to oversteer, or be 'on the nose'? For some reason I have in my head that he does, like Verstappen, prefer that trait in a car. Sainz also said t...

Re: 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix Race Thread
I like what I've seen from the new cars. It was clear from the very first lap that following is much easier. Bahrain has always been decent for wheel to wheel racing due to the slow corners and long back to back straights, but it was clear they could follow much better through the long fast corners....

Re: Vettel out Hulk In for first race
It will be interesting to see how Hulk v Stroll plays out in the GP. Qualifying could be explained away as a bad lap, not getting the tyres into the window etc.
Nowhere to hide over a full race distance though. If Hulk is genuinely quicker in the GP it will be pretty damning for Stroll.

Fastest lap of testing onboard.
While clearly slower, it doesn't look as awful in the slow speed corners as they have at times. It also doesn't look like he's really hustling the car so hopefully they will look even faster next week.

Looks like we're starting to see some more performance. Verstappen goes almost half a second quicker than the previous best time of the test, on the medium tyres.
Let hope the others start to go for some performance runs now too.
