F1 2022: Saudi Arabian GP - Jeddah (March 27)

The existing curbs at the tracks seem like they are more of a hazard than they have ever been. Stiff ride and getting downforce from the floor isn’t gonna fair well if the car separates from the ground. Monaco is gonna be fun I am sure.

I'm pretty sure the impact was really bad for Mick ...

Tomorrow during the race with the tire wear It's even worse on this track with these F* walls !

The FIA should cancel this track for 2023 ASAP !!!

As I said this track is a car graveyard !!!

I heard he's speaking and took off his own gloves. I assume he got out with assistance. Thank goodness. Want to see him improve and grow as season goes on.

Maybe not 100% related but they gotta figure out these tire blanket temps. Teams don’t have their cars figured out as it is and putting them out on cooler than what the tires like to operate is dangerous.

Agreed. I have no desire to ever see drivers able to hit a non-improved wall at high speed. In 2022, it just should not be a danger that they face. period. I hope the FIA is taken hard to task for this.

the flip side is, the FIA are tasked with sourcing enough revenue to keep the spectacle happening at this level year over year. Leaving host countries/cities who are so inclined to give away so much money for the sport... is a tough ask for the admin.

Ferrari and Redbull are on to the next.

We need Bottas and Mags to put down some fire right now. Would love to see Norris in Q3 as well with that piece of junk car.

Agreed! Would be nice to see Lando through. He was a ton of fun to watch in a solid midfield car last year. Can’t believe McLaren was so far off the mark with their chassis this year. Obviously the Mercedes powertrain isn’t helping either!!

Yeah, makes me dislike Merc even more. Now my favorite team is a damn backmarker because of their trash PU.

Mr Pete · 03-26-2022, 01:25 PM

Gunther saying Mick is good! Being checked out as precaution. Thank goodness!

Yeah, this is why I'm ok with the min. weights going up. Some of these accidents would have been fatal a few years ago.

Yea and the way his car broke apart, all the energy dissipated with impact, along with those barriers on the wall. It's awesome to see that for such a dangerous sport, it's safe

Mick's car is a write off! Gunther said a completely new car is needed but naturally has to wait on Mick's verdict first.
