...so that's how they are so light below RB,even saving a few grams here and Spaniards can take the heat without constant replenishment of drinks no problem.If it just wasn't for ''box now box now''

Yeah . But he wasn't the only one ..And this while it was very hot !

It's all about weight saving and every single gram really matters with these heavy 2022 cars !
That's why the teams are also removing paint from the car to save some weight ..

But let's go a step further...
Terrible and loud (fart) noises are been heard before some races ..
According to some rumors (some) drivers are using an "Enema kit" before the race to save (body) weight..
First I was thinking this must be a joke . But it isn't !

Just watched the vid in it's entirety and is something new for me, so that's what they do and it's not only the car.

Yeah . It's actually an internal cleaning of the intestines .
To remove everything...... You know what I mean . And that is some weight as well ..

Last year at Spa with the extreme rainfall , the race had hours of delay ..

Drivers were waiting for a very long time in the cars , and there was a moment that HAM jumped out of his car and he took a sprint to the toilet ...
Could be from the nerves because MAX had the pole and that MAX was faster in the rain , but (probably) also from using the Enema Kit !
Let's say : HAM wasn't completely empty and the pressure in his butt was still there !

So Carlito is now saying Max is due the same mistake as befell Chas at Ricard...arm still hurting from twist after Binotto cajoled him into saying that..

^Today a heatwave expected there for Practice with a high of 34C then tomorrow it plummets to 25C with thunderstorms and heavy rain expected for quali.
For the race itself there is 20% chance of rain with 27C and cloudy.

Look at the larger sidepod cooling nacelle on the Haas compared to the minimal opening on the 1.75. Ferrari have said they have concerns about reliability at this relatively slow circuit with less forced cooling air for the rads and other mechanicals so they may want to fit side pods with larger nacelles which naturally will cause more drag.
Ferrari have said they will have a bigger problem than at Ricard because of this but Max still expects them to be quick on a one lapper though he has his chance to seize pole for a change as the rain is almost certain at quali time then I can't see even Ferrari getting past him.

Oh for sure GuidoK.
I'm surprised Hamilton has said that Max is cruising to his second title this year,''its pretty smooth sailing for him now.''

Ferrari looking strong again. Let's just hope Leclerc can put together a complete race. With only 10 races to go, there's no more room for error.
