Baku 2022 Pre-Race Thread

Seems like nobody cares going in a country in war against Armenia.

 

The weather looks crystal clear all weekend with temps averaging around 83F.

 

There's an F1 thread in P&R.

Baku makes me think that every street circuit needs a ridiculously long straight, just to make passing possible.

Love the image of the "brake magic" lock-up.

 

IMO - LH's unforced error at 2021 Baku is where he really lost the WDC

 

Helmut Marko says Red Bull still has "a few tenths" in its pocket with the weight: "It's positive to have those tenths in reserve. We are still too heavy. Ferrari is around 798kg, while Mercedes is on the same level as us."

 

Does anyone think that Mercedes will break into the top 4 at Baku, or will their woes continue?

 

Their woes will continue!

With the history of incidents on this track, I'm looking for a surprise podium from lower in the grid.

 

Alonso? (that's for Pedro)

 

The W13 definitively lacks something regarding traction.
This is not related to porpoising but related to a design flaw( suspension).
In top of that they don’t have the edge on the PU side anymore.
Car is not that bad but not Ferrari and Red Bull level, that’s it.

 

Continued woes.

 

The only way that snake can get to the podium is if he disguise himself as a grid girl..oh wait!
PS: Latifi will bin another williams, anyone want's to that that bet?

 

That looks like a safe bet to me unfortunately. If Mick destroys another Haas it will be Game Over for him. Can we get through a GP without a red flag/safety car period or has F1 gone NASCAR?

 

Ah ! That's really going to make a difference ...
