IceCreamMan Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 Mick and Dan got problems. ‘Ferrari’ cars ahead of “Merc” cars. Interesting. justinafrika 1

JCA12 Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 Awesome quali by Bottas and KMag. Bottas very close to Hamilton's quali time.

JCA12 Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 Well that didn't go to plan for Redbull and Alpha Tauri. Congrats to Ferrari. They have a very sorted race car. RoddieJ, justinafrika and Vetplant 3

Vetplant Posted March 22, 2022 Posted March 22, 2022 I'm a little bit disappointed in the failure of the RB's, but that is largely offset by the good looking Red machines bossing the entire weekend. Reliability is the number one thing that can scupper all your efforts. Finishing 4th is a solid compromise instead of your car failing 2 laps from the finish and not scoring any points at all. LH will be relatively content with a head-start on Max for the season fight. Fingers crossed RB can find the cause of the problem so we can have a 3-manufacturer fight for the title this season.

RoddieJ Posted March 22, 2022 Posted March 22, 2022 Seems secrets out, but the denial continues... With Red Bull describing the issue as a "fuel pick-up problem", which could be seen as clever wording - after all, no fuel to pick up can cause a "fuel pick-up problem" - RacingNews365.comasked the team to address the rumours about their fuel loads. Whatever the case, I for one wouldn’t be surprised... So, on to Jeddah we go!

Whatever the case, I for one wouldn’t be surprised... So, on to Jeddah we go! The title is a bit clickbait-y because it's still speculation, but Scarbs also knows his stuff and it's likely that the new E-10 fuel is at least partly to blame. Scarb's theory of a vapour lock causing pickup issues could be accurate. Apparently RB also didn't really do low fuel runs with testing / practice.

justinafrika Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Nice to see Alfa Romeo doing unexpectedly well with even the rookie Zhou placing well. Am a bit of an AR fanboy having had a few quick ones. Zhou tenth in his debut race, what’s (edit: who’s) the highest placing rookie in his debut F1 event (edit: and where did they place)?

How could we forget Lewis Hamilton (McLaren) finishing a close 3rd behind his then teammate, Fernando Alonso in his debut at the Australian GP in 2007. Kimi (Ferrari) won the race and eventually the Driver’s Championship by a single point that year. Kevin Magnussen finished 2nd in his F1 debut at the Aus GP in 2014. justinafrika and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1 1

MrJacques Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Still going ahead, for now, but won't be surprised if the race gets cancelled. Vetplant 1
