Does Jeddah just seem dangerous to anybody else?


I consider any place that has had a missile land near it within the last month pretty sketch.

It might just be a red herring anyway. I do think teams went through tires much faster than they anticipated. Which may take a few weeks to figure out and even longer to solve since tire selections are done weeks in advance.

I found this really informative article and learned some interesting things:

www.racefans.net/2022/03/25/exclusive-the-changes-pirelli-saw-in-bahrain-which-promise-more-close-racing-in-2022/

First of all, I didn't realize the compounds are frozen for the year before the season starts, no tweaking. And they had to test the new tires using "test mules" instead of actual 2022 cars.

quote:

"During the season, our product is frozen... We have to freeze the product, let’s say, November, December of the previous year – we cannot change it for one year."


And then this:

quote:

The biggest difference Pirelli discovered was the performance gap between the three compounds was far beyond what they expected following last year’s test. A difference of around half a second per lap was predicted.

“In Bahrain, it was more,” Isola explained. “It was one second between hard and medium, 1.2 between medium and soft. And also the level of degradation was higher than expected.”


A difference between compounds of 1 second or more, along with increased degradation, is fantastic. This should lead to more alternate strategies and make the races more fun.

At Bahrain, one of the roughest circuits, they brought C1-C2-C3, the hardest set. At Jeddah, they are bringing C2-C3-C4, so C4 will be a new experience.

Schu ran a lot of laps so getting data. Not fast at all.

F1 is better when Ferrari are good. They have a really likable set of drivers as well. With popularity rising in the US, I think you'll see a lot more Ferrari fans a the races in the US in the coming years if they keep it up.

I get a lot of us dont like Hamilton, but what the frick is up with this? This is a huge issue I have with F1, you cant change cultures. Some are just shitty, but they can certainly not pander to BLM while supporting a country that sentences a 14 year old kid to execution. I feel bad for Hamilton with this, its something that will eat at him.

Family sends him a letter about their kid
