We know that there's possibly an updated version coming for Monza as the frozen PU under the rules.

It's for sure that Maranello received the PU's from Kmag and Sainz and that they are opened up for further investigation .

The Million Dollar question is : Are they allowed from the FIA to open Charlie's PU , because in Austria nothing was wrong with it ...

Currently the temp. at the Circuit Paul Ricard is 33/35°C (shade-temp)
Same temp. as over here , and once again the heat is terrible !

Think the tyres will be fried in no time ...

Should be an easy one two for Red Bull today with their massive straight line speed advantage.
Hopefully Leclerc can keep the Mercedes behind him & get third, although I would like Leclerc to take the win...C'mon The Red Car

Glad to see the Mercedes safety car again.

So hotter than yesterday at Ricard,over here it's a reasonable 27C

M5Rick · 07-24-2022, 08:00 AM

They're all on meds except Sainz,Bot and Gas.

World start from Kmag . He moved up 7 positions !

HAM is P3 ...Lol !

MAX is pushing really hard behind Charlie..
Will be all about the tyre management in the heat...

M5Rick · 07-24-2022, 08:09 AM

Ham jumped a few at the start including Checo but he's dropping back from the leading two and Max is closing in on Lec.

MAX vs Charlie ! The fight is on ...

GuidoK · 07-24-2022, 08:16 AM

I think Max is saving his tyres and uses DRS to keep up with LEC time after time.

GuidoK · 07-24-2022, 08:20 AM

Checo is having a hard time in his car. He's having trouble following Hammy.

Chappers 71 · 07-24-2022, 08:20 AM

Hamilton is getting into his stride now & pulling away from Checo. Lap 10...Max STILL hasn't gotten past Leclerc

Fliplegend · 07-24-2022, 08:22 AM

LEC being told to lift and coast

The Ferrari looks lighter and comes faster out of the turns ..

But the RB top-speed on the straights is looking good .

And it looks like Charlie's tyres are gone ...and are overheating !

MAX is racing expectant and that's a good sign ...MAX in pit ! Undercut ...

Chappers 71 · 07-24-2022, 08:29 AM

George closing in on Checo, doesn't seem as though this is going to be RB's day....oh dear

Chappers 71 · 07-24-2022, 08:31 AM

Max trying for the undercut, back
out in 7th

Blindside_137 · 07-24-2022, 08:33 AM

I would love to see sainz get a win today.

GuidoK · 07-24-2022, 08:34 AM

OMG LEC!!

WTF happened?!?

Chappers 71 · 07-24-2022, 08:34 AM

Leclercs crashed!! SC, wasted pit stop for Max

Fliplegend · 07-24-2022, 08:34 AM

GuidoK · 07-24-2022, 08:35 AM
