2022 Belgian Grand Prix - Spa-Francorchamps - Aug 26 - 28

Max can win this...
After all the trash he talked it's nice to see Russell well down the order, it didn't take long for him to become a huge diva.

I expect Max to be on the podium and would not be surprised to see him win.

So all the humdrum about the floors turned out to be much ado about nothing. Insane performance by Max, would've loved to see another push lap. No idea what the grid is going to look like but it should be a fun race.

Race is tomorrow and the W13 only truly comes alive in race trim.

I can see tyre strategy coming into play tomorrow.

It is obvious that here 2nd place is better than 1st. Perez is going to overtake Sainz through Kemmel with ease.

If only his mouth can be connected to the ERS, they would get a lot more energy to deploy over the lap.

[Alonsismo]

Pole for sainz
P3 for Alonso
i want both on podium

Mercs said they would set up for race, not quali, so there should be more pace through tire preservation, but will they have the pace to be on the podium? Alonso's defense may be a DRS train. The action of course will be Sainz vs Perez and Max vs Charles. Charles's pace was pretty good when he actually hooked up a good lap, but the car looks unstable and on edge. Verstappen seemed cool and relaxed and looked at one with the car. It's hard to say how much pace difference is from Max vs Honda's PU upgrades and RedBull's car updates, but Perez does appear to have the same bodywork but not the same floor, and of course doesn't have the PU upgrades. Charles and Max both need a clean race and need to steer clear of the mayhem of the midpack. It will all depend on how Sainz, Perez, Alonso, and Russell get out of turn 1.

As long as he doesn't follow too closely through Eau Rouge.

Alonso, if he sets it up right, will have a huge tow down the kemmel straight. Will be fun to watch tomorrow. I just hope there is no rain.

They haven’t checked the floor legality and plank wear yet, so who knows.

Ferrari and Red Bull are too much in sync, with pace, pit and tire strategy, taking drivetrain changes, they appear they just want stay far from Mercedes, just do the opposite of whatever they do.

Good on them but the sport is too polarized. Coverage only makes it worse. The sport clearly is apprehensive about Audi and Porsche joining and won’t even let Andretti have a shot. It’s a crap show right now.

a bit of a clumsy move be Ferrari there, but didn't change anything at all for Leclerc. If at all, he is even in a better position than he would have been with a new tyre run, as he now has the same sets available for tomorrow as Verstappen

[Sieper]

Wow! Just Wow. Maxgic

Hopefully no lap 1 pile up tomorrow and then it will be a great race.

Max has always been super around Spa and now he has the car to equal that.

But did he get a used set? I thought I saw a new set, might that have been his last, or an extra set they wanted for the race?

It will all depend on how Sainz, Perez, Alonso, and Russell get out of turn 1.

and Hamilton, Albon, Ricciardo, etc., ...
