2022 Stripes everywhere GRAND PRIX DE FRANCE

Bottom post of the previous page:

Carlos is pissed.

Maybe we will have a VSC? Joe stopped off track.

[Everso Biggyballies]

VSC deployed.


Will Max stop?

The car is almost clear. Too late to stop I think as we should be green shortly

[PTRACER]

Why did they pit him?! Sainz was faster than literally everyone around him. This makes no sense whatsoever.

Yep. He would have gaped 5sec from Perez.

There was 7-8sec up to Hamilton. He would have caught him (maybe, maybe not passed him).

Lost 3rd place.

I assume a monkey is running the pit wall.

I'm glad I'm not a Ferrari supporter. They are embarrassing. Even if Carlos's tyres sucked towards the end, they didn't suck as much as Perez's do now so a guaranteed podium has been thrown away.

The only hope is an SC oh look Zhou has stopped by the track.

[Vassago]

Zhou conked out. VSC.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Sergio screwed up the restart and George has passed him.

[Everso Biggyballies]

2 laps to go

[Everso Biggyballies]

Final lap and George is hanging on.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Max wins from Lewis George Sergio and Carlos.

Alonso 6th, Lando 7th, Ocon 8th, Danny Ric 9th, and Stroll 10th are the points winners.,


Ferrari need to shoot their strategist.

Lol.... Vettel ran into Stroll on the last corner trying to pass him for 10th!

[Everso Biggyballies]

Oh well, if there was any doubt in the WDC that has near evaporated now.

Confirmed. Stuck throttle caused Leclerc to crash.... Second time in two races, Charles is confronted with a throttle failure.

So Ferrari cost the tam a wwin through reliability and a podium through incompetence..... even though Carlos told them NO NOT NOW, to be over ruled.

[White six]

Confirmed. Stuck throttle caused Leclerc to crash.... Second time in two races, Charles is confronted with a throttle failure.

No, binned it

Confirmed by Chaz and not very super Mario

[Everso Biggyballies]

Binotto justifies the Carlos stop by saying but he got a point for Fastest Lap. What a joke.
