Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio de España 2022Formula 1

Aaaand Red Bull have pitted Perez. So much for that 1-stop strategy.

Gotta give the win to their golden boy.

 

[NotThePrez]

The 1-stop never existed anywhere besides the radio to Russell

I kinda figured. Even with Checo, that seemed like a rather ambitious strategy if it were real.

Also, Lewis is currently P6! A solid recovery on his part.

 

[Bram Turismo]

How sad is it that the only way we get to see drivers actually having to work for an overtake is when DRS is not functioning.

And Bottas is seriously impressive this season. Finally freed from the Hamster shackles.

Bottas has been doing alright, bar that classic Bottas moment at the Miami race.

 

[PeterJB]

Zhou out.

Zhout.

 

[Dennisch]

It's Bad Gift!

Gotta give the win to their golden boy.

When your main title rival retires, of course you maximise the potential points gain. Why wouldn't you?

 

[Grayfox]

Gotta give the win to their golden boy.

His tires were old.
But with a fresh set he can go to the end.

 

[Veinz]

let them race

 

[NotThePrez]

Zhout.

And Verstappen into the pits, comes out ahead of Russell. Curious to see what Red Bull are going to do with Perez as the race winds down.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Lol track limits for Lewis. Naughty Boy

Real racing. Then when Perez takes over because of DRS coms are like wow amazing overtake. No, no it really isn't. Many of these drivers have been made to look greater thanks to DRS. Baffles me that coms go along with it.

 

[Dennisch]

Verstappen is absolutely flying.

 

[Jimlaad43]

That Drone is awful

 

[Grayfox]

Wonder if that drone is controlled by a computer.
It is taking the same lines, kinda like GT7s AI following the racing line.

 

[NotThePrez]

That Drone is awful

And sketchy, to me at least.

Team orders just came down from Red Bull to Checo.

 

[Veinz]

****ing weak sauce by RBR

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Different strategy as in you both have done your last stop. They could have just spilled it out straight.

 

[McLaren]

Checo, it's James.

 

[Joey D]

Team orders are so lame. Everytime I attempt to watch F1 I'm reminded how utterly unexciting it is. Let racers race, it's better for the fans.

 

[Demon Drone]

****ing weak sauce by RBR

As if there was any doubt. Most toxic team in all of F1.

 

[Samus]

Different strategies that don't matter since they're now both going to the end. Rubbish.

 

[Dennisch]

With or without team orders, Max was a second per lap faster.

 

[Grayfox]

As if there was any doubt. Most toxic team in all of F1.

And Mercedes who was doing this to Bottas is not Toxic?

 

[lancia delta hf]

Verstappen is absolutely flying.

They need to sack the pilot because he is doing a rubbish job. He may be a great drone pilot but he isn't an expert on F1 coverage.

 

[McLaren]

And Mercedes who was doing this to Bottas is not Toxic?

I don't recall them pulling this move so early in the season, though.

 

[NotThePrez]

With or without team orders, Max was a second per lap faster.

No doubt Max would've gotten by at some point, but it would be much less of a buzzkill if he actually had to race for it, like what we saw with him and Russell earlier.

 

[Veinz]

As if there was any doubt. Most toxic team in all of F1.

This is just a laughable statement in so many ways.

 

[Samus]

And Mercedes who was doing this to Bottas is not Toxic?

When did they ask Bottas to let HAM pass within the first five races of a season when the title was still wide open?

 

[PaMu1337]

Perez has a free stop, should be going for fastest lap
