The latest :
Checo's HONDA PU is replaced by a 'spare ( used one )

So ...He won't get a grid penalty !

The Ferraris are having huge torque mappings .

Too much torque and wet is a very bad combination !

The mop guys should make it more drivable for the race getting rid of the worst puddles.

Wonder if they set max boost in final quali gambling for dry race..could be bad for them if they did.

As usual : Ferrari is/was gambling with a one-lap (QF) setup to get the pole .
This means : Less of downforce , and that's NO grip in the wet today !

That's why I think Checo in the front will be faster in the rain with more grip .

Chas must be a bag of nerves lol and the other Merc is starting from the pit lane

So now they are saying the 3 hour clock will not start counting down until 2:05pm, which is good at least we will now stand a chance of seeing a full race....provided it doesn't rain heavily again

Looks still very wet !!!

M5Rick · 10-02-2022, 08:30 AM

Max is back from a try out lap and changing to inters so maybe the reflection from the track lights are making it look worse than it is.

MAX just locked up ,right front wheel . He performed a 360 to get back on track ...

M5Rick · 10-02-2022, 08:35 AM

Checo says yes to the inters too.
