Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted March 19, 2022 Subscriber Posted March 19, 2022 Watching the F2 race because I can't wait for the F1 tomorrow and convincing myself that I'll actually follow F2 properly this year when I know for a fact that I won't.
nudge Posted March 19, 2022 Author Posted March 19, 2022 Quite a decent race, solid and uneventful win for Verschoor. Unfortunate technical issues for Pourchaire, while Vips and Doohan both seemed to struggle with tyre wear. Credit to Iwasa, quite an impressive drive from 22nd to 8th. Hughes took out Armstrong only to suffer the same fate later in the race when he was taken out by Novalak. Daruvala v Boschung was probably the most exciting battle. Looking forward to the feature race tomorrow.
Moderator Tommy Posted March 20, 2022 Moderator Posted March 20, 2022 Strong race from Ayumu Iwasa so far today! Wtf, chaos in the pit-lane. Final Top10:

Final Top10: Good race, with too many pit stop bottle jobs. Happy for Pourchaire, and Vips did well to get the podium given the circumstances... Iwasa was great throughout the weekend, not sure what happened after the restart there, but feel sorry for him. Still driver of the weekend for me.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted March 20, 2022 Subscriber Posted March 20, 2022 Nissany was driving like an absolute fucking lunatic to be fair.
nudge Posted March 20, 2022 Author Posted March 20, 2022 He is always driving like an absolute fucking lunatic, tbh. A 27 year old driver in his 4th season in Formula 2, it's embarrassing.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted March 20, 2022 Subscriber Posted March 20, 2022 They need to put a cap on how many years you can actually participate in the official feeder series and/or make it conditional on your results. Maximum of 3 seasons in F2, but a maximum of 2 if you've finished outside of the top 12 or so in the Championship both times. I don't pay avid attention to F2 but Nissany, Sato and some other names seem to have been around forever without actually contributing much to the sport or entertainment or having any chance of challenging for the title or progressing to F1. Plenty of other young drivers waiting their turn.
nudge Posted March 25, 2022 Author Posted March 25, 2022 Anyone watched the quali? 3 red flags A horror weekend for Pourchaire already. Crashed during the practice, the team managed to get the car ready for the quali, and then it caught fire after 10 minutes Drugovich on pole.
nudge Posted March 26, 2022 Author Posted March 26, 2022 Penalties after qualifying: Caldwell: 3 places for impeding Vips: 3 places for impeding Vesti: 3 places for impeding Novalak: 5 places for impeding Cordeel: 10 places for not slowing enough for red flag and double yellows
nudge Posted March 27, 2022 Author Posted March 27, 2022 I'm probably talking to myself here, but has anyone watched yesterday's sprint race? If yes, what are your thoughts on race control/Hauger's penalty? Feature race to start soon... Hopefully everyone stays safe.
nudge Posted March 27, 2022 Author Posted March 27, 2022 Pourchaire's car broken again, gearbox this time...

I didn't watch it but I heard about the sequence of events that led to his penalty and it sounds pretty outrageous. We've seen the same thing in F1, drivers penalised following poor communication from race control. Not quite to this extent here, although Hamilton could potentially make that argument about Monza 2020... Still, seems like there needs to be the room within the sporting regulations for them to give the benefit of the doubt when human error from race control leads a driver to getting a penalty.
nudge Posted April 24, 2022 Author Posted April 24, 2022 Doohan out again Oh fuck off, Vips crashed. So stupid too.

It needs to be coordinated better; guess the driver got the sign to go before the mechanic was actually done?
nudge Posted April 24, 2022 Author Posted April 24, 2022 Pourchaire wins! A bit anticlimactic ending the race under the safety car though.

I think the mechanic still had his fingers between tire spokes when Armstrong stepped on the gas. Ouch.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted April 24, 2022 Subscriber Posted April 24, 2022 Nissany got the biggest commentators curse I've ever seen. Literally two seconds after they cut away he's binned it .
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted May 21, 2022 Subscriber Posted May 21, 2022 Tried to watch the F2 sprint race but switched it off. Barcelona is such a shite track for racing.
