Formula One - 2022 - Rllmuk League is live

[Shimmyhill]

How has Lewis lost 4 seconds under the VSC?

[Corranga]

Are Merc actually watching the race? 5 laps to go and no chance Perez is dropping a second a lap

[ryodi]

George has called the pit strategy better than strategists this race.

[taurusnipple]

Unfortunate, this was the most boring race this season, these fans deserved better. 

[Corranga]

Danny Ric almost has 10 seconds on Ocon 

[wev]

Ricky Bobbys only gonna lose 1 place with that penalty if it stays like this

[JohnC]

He won't lose any place if he stays like this.

[Bleeders]

Even Crofty sounds bored.

[myoozikk]

Meh, that was dull. 

[Shimmyhill]

All we have left to hope for is Martin is doin the winners speech and only talks to Lewis….

[Count Buffalos]

Commanding drive by Max. Bafflingly conservative strategy calls from Mercedes despite their pre-race bluster. Anonymous race from Ferrari. Fairly dull all around.

[davidcotton]

Dull.

How do these points and wins records stack up when converted to match the 10 point for a win and only top 6 get points and have less races era?

[Sidewaysbob]

I apologise for suggesting they're might be a race at the end there. I have no idea what I was thinking 

[ryodi]

Mexico is Catalunya with better atmosphere. Max dominated as expected, Mercedes fell down on strategy again when Perez forced them to stop early to maintain track position  and George had a solid race. No idea what happened to Ferrari.

there are a ton more races too so it’d still be a shed load more

[JohnC]

Interview awkwardness avoided then.

[Bleeders]

Merc were waiting for the tyre drop off that didn’t come since they didn’t have the underlying pace to compete with Max.

[Matt Defis]

Seriously Merc WTF your drivers know better than you? Shitshow from everyone apart from RB.

[Oracle]

Poor checko sounded like he was really on the verge of tears. 

 

[JohnC]

Oh, they emerge from the depths

[mexos]

Nice city, poor track. Bet it’s gone from the calendar a few years after Perez retires and Ric takes his seat back. 

[Corranga]

Is it the DJ in front of but below the podium with the umbrella?

[Corranga]

Red Bull 2022 budget blown in car valets having to clean that car after champagne and confetti 

[Wallpaper]

I can’t remember this track ever delivering a half decent race, the crowd must be the only reason it doesn’t get slated by the F1 community.

[wev]

Danica trying to hype Red Bull and Simon goes "let's go to a break"

Shame some champers didnt get sprayed down the air inlet!

[mexos]

So Max is obliged to talk to Sky in the pen. Be interesting to see the tone.

I think if Max wins all the remaining races of the season, he'll not quite reach the previous best winning percentage over a single season. I want to say Ascari has the current record, by winning like six out of seven races or something. 

 

That's seventy years ago though, when it wasn't really the same sport. In the modern era Schumacher probably has the greatest percentage of wins in a single season, and I imagine Max can beat that one. 

 

No one will ever beat the career win % of Fangio, who won half of all F1 races he ever entered.
