2022 F1 Thread

McLaren cars, drivers, and team look like a NASCAR team now.

And I mean that in the least positive way possible.

Agree

It's all mixed up, looking forward to see if there is more over taking during the race

Great to see Ferrari back up at the top, will hopefully make it interesting rather than the 2 horse race season like last year

^^^ WTF is that ?????

[javadog]

Some would call that an attention whore.

Personally, I have no idea what’s in his head.

[upsscott]

Some might call him a 7 time F1 champion.

Boogity, boogity, boogity!

Might be a luchador. He might have gotten started on a second career, before he decided to come back to F1.

[Noah930]

Why a full/real safety car instead of a virtual one with the Alpha's on-track (but trackside) retirement?

[upsscott]

Absolutely nuts. Great season opener.

Totally. 3 engine issues by the same manufacture. Can’t wait until next week’s race.

Congratulations to the winner and his teammate . Excellent race for K Mag and young Mick just outside the points . Bottas a great drive . RB better take sharp objects away from both drivers . Now onto the next race .

So good to see Ferrari back (and I happen to really like Leclerc and Sainz)
So good to see the midfield reshuffled, Haas doing well, Alfa doing well
So good to not have Hamilton as the defacto winner, and to see Horner eat some crow with their engines. I may even develop a liking for Mercedes as an underdog for now...

I just feel bad for McLaren, that was unexpected, and also was hoping for more from Williams (and Alpine, "my" team). Good for Albon though...

What a refreshing start of a season, and the cars can pass and repass, pretty damn good so far..

[oldE]

Baz, do you suppose any of these guys would care if it were anyone else?

Gutting for Red Bull. LeClerc was masterful. Some great racing up and down the field.
So glad I subscribed to F1 TV.

Best
Les

That would be Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton-Larbalestier, or Luchador Red Daisy for short.

Really glad to see the top two cars where they are, as well as two of the bottom three where they are.

Oh damn, I forgot the hyphen.

My bad.

I sure hope this race was an omen for the season.

Thrilled to see the Ferrari 1-2, Charles was the boss today. Magnussen was amazing too in the Haas, especially given he has only been back in F1 for two weeks.

As for Hamiltons wardrobe, he did worse last year.

[rusnak]

To me, the prospect of future duels between Charles and Max are way better than Lewis and Max.

Really happy for Ferrari and Haas. I don't think Red Bull is responsible for the battery in their car. I would think that is on Honda.
