Budget set at R50k. I am kinda hoping it will get us tickets for multiple days. If it doesn't, we really are being screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R50k might get you your 5 day passes for race day IF the F1 even comes here....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is already a pretty large amount for me so if it only gets me race day x5 then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the Ferrari strategists again playing it too safe. Sainz was on for a possible podium there. Also, what the hell was Perez doing on that restart.......

Also, what the hell was Perez doing on that restart....... Yeah, it could possibly have been a podium, even after the 5s penalty was applied. They must have thought that the tyres wouldn't last to the end. Apparently Race control sent out two "Virtual Safety Car" ending messages, which caused Perez to increase his speed too early and get caught out by having to slow down again before the green flags.

Yeah, I suppose my biggest gripe with the drivers holding on too long is that it tarnishes their record but also it blocks a seat for a younger and possibly more talented driver coming up or moving into a more competitive seat.

I liked Seb, but like you said, this was probably slightly overdue. Hopefully we can see Piastri on the grid next year. Him at Williams would be a good move and a proper test alongside Albon.

I think they have long term potential because they are putting a lot of money towards things, but right now it seems like a step backwards and Alonso might not be there long enough to see the long term benefits. Also would assume that Piastri would probably be joining Alpine next year. Edited August 1, 2022 by MrJacques aiyaaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
