FORMULA 1 STC SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIX 2022 - Jeddah - RACE.. ▄▀▄▀▄▀ SPOILERS▄▀▄▀▄▀

If I tell you I have bad vibes about this race. I hope I am wrong, but I am spooked by a few signs.

I can't expand on that here, but I feel that Jedddah is the wrong place to be this weekend.

 

I am betting Hamilton is lapped today, the Merc is as good as 1s a lap off the pace

 

Already been asked.

 

Sounds like fun!

 

Indeed,
Really hope we won’t have something serious with a crash or something else.
This track is potentially a disaster in the making for Formula one cars.

 

Interesting comments by K-Mag regarding his neck. I hope he can go the distance today.

"But honestly this is one of the best tracks that I've ever driven. And I wouldn't change. Of course if we could make it safer, great. But I don't know."

 

Well, we have known for a long time that high speed and concrete walls can be a lethal recipe.

 

This track is really not fit for Formula 1.

 

He mentioned the same thing about his neck before Bahrain, but it didn’t seem to affect his race. Odd.

 

Apparently not even SAFER barriers are installed at crucial points.

If that's true that truly makes a mockery of the FIA certification standards, doesn't it?

 

Much lower speeds/forces in the race probably making it all easier...

 

10 minuts to star or 1 hour and .10 minuts???

 

1 hour I think. looks like the pre show still had 50something minutes...

 

Joe’s first post of the world map indicated a start time at 1:00pm eastern time (NYC / Miami)

Quite a few reliability issues with all teams so far (testing/first 2 races).

 

The SkySports guys think they have it sorted.

 

It's fixed apparently! Wiring loom

 

Ouf !

 

Why was this not picked up earlier?

Ferrari pre-race checklist addition: “start the ******* car BEFORE the pit lane is set to open to make sure the car ******* runs properly and give yourself time to fix it!”

 

Yuki parks it in the middle of the track.

 

5 minutes to get out on track. Is he out?
