ASK ME ABOUT STICKING WITH A YEARS-LONG LETS PLAY OF THE MOST COMPLICATED SPACE SIMULATION GAME INVENTED, PLAYING BOTH SIDES, AND SPENDING HOURS GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND TO ENSURE INTERNET STRANGERS ENJOY THEMSELVES

That's a really tightly packed field for having done 46 laps, was it coming off the back of a pace car session?

I believe it was shortly after a restart, yes.

Watkins Glen is a weird track, not counting the chicane I think it only has two left turns in the configuration NASCAR uses.

Edit: lovely snipe, boo Max, hooray for Spa, etc.

Race Week. Let's guess how Ferrari is going to gently caress it up from the front of the field this week.

I'm going to say they win the race but don't have enough fuel in the tank so get DQ'd

SUCCHIAMI IL MIO CAZZO DA DIETRO, RANA RAGAZZO



2022 FIA Formula 1 WDC
Mark my words lads, Big Charlie is going to go full Schumacher and win all of the remaining races to clinch the title. I'm not sure my prostate will be able to handle it.

E: if he doesn't win in Spa just give me the loving ban for this incredibly dumb toxx clause already.

If Max and Charles DNF every remaining race and Sir Lewis wins them all, can he clinch the WDC?

If are Lewis wins all next races he will be at 371 points, Max currently has 258. So if Lewis wins them all Max needs to score around 13 points a race to stay ahead.

Also I just know that whenever the floor changes come into effect, that some how Red Bull will nail the adjustment and Ferrari will suddenly be slower than Alfa

The "cheating floors" are worth something like a tenth, and half the field use them including Ferrari, the only team within a tenth.
I'm very sorry to have to tell you this, but Max is going to win in front of a capacity orange crowd and save Spa as a race in the process. Truly the hero we need.

I'll leave it to the reader to decide which is more ethical
- finding and using a clear loophole in the regs.
- snapping your drivers spines in half to make the FIA change the rules so you don't have to redesign your car, because your hacks missed the obvious gains

Bonus points if you're also the team who got to use DAS for a whole season, because it would be "unfair" if your development direction was taken away because you read a loophole that absolutely was not there.

They also quietly admitted their engine is down on power, which, uh, was pretty obvious from race 1.

I've got 2016 spa on in the background while I work. Max took out seb and forced kimi to pit on turn 1 after Max had a bad start and dive bombed then. Then on lap 12 Kimi passed Max and Max dived into Turn 7 and pushed him off the track again. No penalties. Nothing has changed.
