Honestly, we spend too much time in the early parts of the race watching start replays from every single angle. Spread them out later or do it on YouTube after the race. Who knows how many passes we have missed in those two laps of replays.

With F1TV you get split screen with live footage during the replays. That should honestly be on the global stream as well

This is a snooze-fest so far...

 

[Blitz24]

So why haven't they called Gasly to give the place back for running Stroll off rhe track?

Red Bull second team.

It's under investigation. They changed how they handle it this year. They no longer tell drivers to give it back, it's up to the driver and team to decide that they have to give it back. If they don't, they get a penalty.

 

[Bosso]

Hmm a 5 second penalty is pretty harsh but their team should have told him.

Mid season change or has this been the new norm since the beginning of the season?

 

[Blitz24]

5 seconds to Gasly

 

[PaMu1337]

With that penalty, Gasly gets 2 more penalty points. He's now at 11 since May. If he scores only one more point before next May, he gets a race ban

 

[AshenGraey]

Ferrari is nowhere in this race! I'm honestly surprised that they are getting dropped by Russell

 

[PaMu1337]

Since the beginning. If I remember correctly this was announced end of last year.

Edit: start of this year, before race 1 https://www.racefans.net/2022/03/24...ng-onus-on-them-to-reverse-illegal-overtakes/

Well this wasn't a penalty either soooo.

 

[Bosso]

Red Bull are incredible at preserving the soft tyre.

Ferrari needs more tacos

It's funny when you can even tell the commentators are struggling to find something to talk about.

 

[Famine]

New since the start of 2022.

It's part of the Americanisation of the sport: they've made penalties like the US tax system. They know whether you owe anything and how much you owe, but you have to decide for yourself - and you get fined if you get it wrong.

"The tyres are okay": Sir Lewis Hamilton, October 30, 2022; Mexico City

Meanwhile Max Hamilton says his left front is dead, and he's maintaining the gap.

 

[PaMu1337]

Quality commentary on F1TV:
Buxton: "Hamilton in a position he hasn't been in a long time"
Hinchcliffe: "It's been a week?! "

 

[Famine]

Mercedes in for hards and going to the end?

 

[PaMu1337]

Mercedes in for hards and going to the end?

I can see that working out very well for them, if that hard performs okay

 

[Bosso]

Hmm I don't think the hards will be fast enough, plus the Red Bull is incredible at tyre preservation. They could definitely go to the end on mediums without much trouble. Either that or go on softs at the end and breeze past Hamilton.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Russell wants to extend and put on softs. I'm liking the split strategy.

 

[Samus]

Unless Red Bull have to 2 stop I can't see the hards working.

 

[PaMu1337]

Unless Red Bull have to 2 stop I can't see the hards working.

I think they have to do the 2 stop, though. It's a very long way on the medium

Welp, no split strategy for Mercedes

 

[Famine]

Unless Red Bull have to 2 stop I can't see the hards working.

You'd assume so - 25 on softs means 46 on mediums...

... although the tyres have been all over the place this season.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

So much for that split strategy. It looks like Hamilton is doing alright on the hards.

 

[Veinz]

This is an interesting strategy battle, I have no idea why Ferrari left their drivers out for so long on the softs though.

Cycling paying off for Bottas.
