On the other side, I see a engine penalty coming up for Sainz. Let’s see when he takes this up.

Looks like the Turbo got pretty much destroyed.

it's nice to see RB on a mini losing streak.

Ouch! Aside from the inevitable grid place penalty, this will surely cause a dent in the budget cap.

That looked horrible on board. He controlled it & parked at right spot.

Unreliability is normal … we are pushing the envelope

Need to fix this reliability, performance is there.
.

Especially this year. Engines fixed until end of 2025. If played safe would be behind for years, have to push limits and if unreliable this year are allowed reliability upgrades. If had played it safe would not be fighting for racing wins.

It's a new engine for 2022 compared to the past(2014 thru 2021).....so these reliability issues are going to happen. I give it 2 years tops to fix.

If we can get a win in next French GP. Then Hungary should be ours.

If we can have a reliability upgrade ready for Spa that would seem like the perfect time.

That's not gonna help in the cost cap budget.

Indeed, they can request FIA on reliability ground & gain some performance as well cheeky F1 rules

Those marshals should be fired. Sainz almost got burned and they were just around.

Once again, F1 has **** poor safety.

I assume it’s raised by some amount right?

Start of next year will be fine.

Watched it back and the marshall ran back to get a wedge to block the wheels, should have dealt with the fire firstly I thought and get Carlos away.

1-2 double would have been incredibly. it would have made verstappen 3rd. so that means leclerc will melt the gap between him and verstappen.

and leclerc, what kind of driver are you?
he slapped Maxipad 3 times!!

Same thought...I was shocked to see Sainz in the burning car shouting at the Marshalls to put a wedge and put off the fire

[WS6TransAm01]

Ideally Carlos takes penalty in France or has to wait till Spa.

Coming through the field in Hungary is not an easy task.

Hungary should suit the Ferrari based on Quali in Monaco. No idea how France will play out.

3.1%

The first time was great...proper overtake. The other 2 times...were writing on the wall.

I hope your right.

It was a total crap show. Poor kid is trying to keep his foot on the brake so it doesn’t roll back and the track side guys are running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

Lewis should be given a Liftetime Lucky (Not Achievement) Award. How many times has he been rewarded a podium place due to drivers DNFing in front of him?

That’s why I call him the Affirmative Action Champion.

France always give me some bad feelings. Never won there if I remember correctly. It's cursed.

[nani_s23]

Yup we will have winter testing .. which should give some mileage on those PU & fix any reliability issues.

Charles replied to you:
Charles: "I can’t wait for France! I’m confident. Our car is performing so there’s no reason for it not to be perform there!"

Mattia Binotto on the radio to Charles Leclerc:

“You made the difference that a champion makes. Bravo, I'm happy for you.

While hoping for the Mercedes engine to be reliable this year so they will be stuck behind us and RB for the next 4 years
