Formula 1 Heineken Australian Grand Prix 2022Formula 1

On another note it seems the FIA have decided they don't like Max pulling alongside and hustling the lead car on safety car restarts. They haven't changed the text rule but they have added a nice little diagram.

Also seems that drivers are out there with thongs or budgie smugglers on or something

Considering the weight of the cars, it's probably operation commando.

Bizarrely not the first time in recent years that the FIA has had to deal with non compliant underwear.

Techeetah Formula E duo Vergne and Lotterer get underwear fine

Newly-crowned Formula E season four champion Jean-Eric Vergne and his Techeetah team-mate Andre Lotterer were fined for wearing non-compliant underwear during qualifying for the season finale in New York

hahahah thats awesome

 

[Veinz]

1 am start for me but that’s okay, it feels like a tradition.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Man, I really need to make a Post-it reminding myself that Albon's back. I only seem to remember he's back when something bad happens, like bonking Stroll or having his qualifying results disqualified. Ka toht, khrap!

Looking forward to a banger of a race. Two hours goooooooooooo!

 

[Dylan]

Half asleep after waking up early for work and sitting thru an IMSA race, and then a NASCAR race. Still an hour to go before lights out. Gonna do my best to stay up.

Norris and Sainz with terrible starts... :\

 

[Jezza819]

Sainz dropping like a stone.

EDIT Sainz in the stones and out

 

[McLaren]

Norris and Sainz with terrible starts... :\

Mah boy dropped 2, but still hanging around. Sainz really took a tumble, but looks like it's due his Hards.

Oh jeez, and he's out....

 

[Veinz]

Woooow

Im gutted for sainz

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Lewis with the nice start.

Sainz noooooooooo!

 

[-Fred-]

And now Carlos is out.

 

[Grayfox]

Poor Sainz

 

[Blitz24]

Sainz was off to Narnia there.

 

[Dylan]

Wow. That sucked.

 

[Spacegoat]

What a disaster for Sainz

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Geez, those replays... Sainz lucky not to get tagged. Sad to see his weekend done.

 

[PaMu1337]

Looks like he screwed up his start, and then just got impatient trying to get back up

 

[Blitz24]

Lance Stroll just pitted twice in 2 successive laps.... okay I guess that means he doesn't have to pit again but...

He was already last, and is not losing any time due to the SC. Just gets the tire rules done for free, and will try to go to the end I guess

 

[Jezza819]

I think Charles is going to be a sitting duck when DRS kicks in.

 

[-Fred-]

Leclerc is running away with it.

 

[McLaren]

Charles looks like he's just gonna run away.

Leclerc is running away with it.

Great consecutive comments

 

[Dylan]

Insane how much the Ferrari is bouncing in the run up to turn 11.

I thought Max had the superior straight line speed. I'm glad I was wrong. I wasn't going to backtrack and edit it out though.

This is going to turn into a procession, isn't it?

I think he does, but the tires are probably holding him back off the fast bits where Charles is shining.

Ferrari have to be upset that not only is Sainz out, but that Qualifying also really cost them (esp. when he barely missed out due to the red flag). They could've been in a crazy 1-2 position.
