Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted April 22, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted April 22, 2022 So if I read it correctly, the fastest driver in Qualifying today will be considered pole-setter of Sunday race, but it's only for statistics, and it's still the sprint race that'll decide the grid for Sunday race, so the official pole-setter might not be the actual pole-setter. Gotcha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted April 22, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted April 22, 2022 Try to look at the sprint race as adding an extra third or so onto the start of the race distance with a guaranteed red flag at the end of that extra distance. It helps with the pole position thing too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted April 22, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted April 22, 2022 F3 cars have dried the track out quite nicely. Looking like a straight up dry qualifying for F1 unless it rains again (40% chance). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted April 22, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted April 22, 2022 Mercedes struggling again but they get out of Q1 in 12th and 15th. Lewis only 0.004s ahead of Tsunoda . Ocon out with both Alpha Tauris and Williams. Latifi had another spin during the session on at out lap while Albon's car decided to just disintegrate earlier in qualifying.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted April 22, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted April 22, 2022 Now it's raining, meaning the next 10 minutes will be a waste of time. The bottom five, Russell, Schumacher, Hamilton, Zhou, Stroll are likely out. Shame for Zhou who was rapid in Q1. Q3 for Vettel and Aston Martin...
