F1 2022

[hotchilli]

Jeez...learn to read the room Toto...this season has been one of the best we've had in years!

Toto Wolff blames Red Bull and Ferrari for F1 being ‘less entertaining’ this season

The Mercedes boss believes there is ‘too much performance gap’ between the teams so far this season

www.independent.co.uk

That's a bullshit clickbait headline. It was a comment in regards to the Sprint Race qualifying.

EDIT:

For reference sake a different article on the same comments.

Toto Wolff voices reservations about the spectacle in Formula 1 sprint qualifying

Toto Wolff thinks the current performance levels of Formula 1 teams, especially at the top, are not conducive to exciting sprints.

Team Boss makes comment that is heavily biased towards his teams fortune.

Oh the shock

It's only a boring season for toxic British fans who are the ones most catered for in the Brit-centric F1 media.

 

[gaskin]

If Toto is only referencing the Sprint Races then I agree. Sprints are mostly boring and pointless.

 

[Klyntonius]

Has Alonso enhanced his reputation in a middling car, outperformed his team mate consistently in it, and driven like a champion? YES!


The point remains...Hamilton has never been in a bog average car, nor performed in one.

The 09 McLaren was clearly a middling car and he drove the same as you just described Alonso.

... this year... his attitude has been petulant and sooky.

Agree.

Of course. There's not a driver alive that didn't have several flaws. It's often what makes them so great.

Ego is a prerequisite for any F1 driver. At the front of the grid, or at the back of the grid.
If you don’t have ego and self belief, then you never get to that grid. Front or Back.

Have no doubt Toto thinks F1 is less entertaining this year.
When your not at the front of the pack, you are less entertained.

My point is is it wasn't a 'shit box' as suggested by happy_eagle. It won races and finished 3rd in the constructers...it was the best of the rest that year.

that has shown 2 b true in all his interviews and is perfectly understandable. horner's moods fluctuate 2 according 2 the teams fortunes.

Horne's mood fluctuates, but im not sure i ever saw him sulk and actively try and manipulate the narrative to get the regulations changed because of his own shit car design. Toto is on a next level. Notice barely a woof about porpoising now.....

Break out the fromage and champers?
French GP this weekend.
Ooh la la…

Potentially one of the more boring races on the calendar
(both the racing and the visuals)

If they can follow now around the long sweeping curves it should hopefully be more entertaining like Austria was.

 

[Skull Face]

The problem with france is that slow speed turn before the straight, the car ahead will always accelerate away down the start of the straight

Oh the shock

This board is so wildly head****ed by Toto and Hamilton it is concerning...

 

[BIRDBRAIN]

The track limits is going to be a complete debacle on this circuit.

 

[Jatz]

I really despise the visuals of this track...

 

[royboy2]

Poor mans Magny Cours

Oh sorry. You think I watch the actual race?
No, no, no.
I watch the pre and post racing for the French totty in the backgrounds!

I am jealous. French is my favourite accent.

It's one of mine too, with the Irish and I married an Irish girl.

Irish is second for me. It is strange because I don't really enjoy any others from that region.
