That's what Honda gets for abandoning F1 in the worst possible moment (again).

P4. Definitely not that bad on the opening quali session!
Sergio is only .3 behind on quali pace. Thats great news for RB having 2 cars up front.
Perez is more accustomed to the RB team in his second year and has been working on his qualy performance, so that's good. But look at the Ferrari drivers: they really can beat each other. I don't see Perez doing that in near future. For now, I think Ferrari is ahead pace wise, at least over one lap. Let's see tomorrow how the race pace of RB is. Hopefully VER can get P1 after the first lap or get the undercut working. If Perez's race pace is also decent one can say he is grown, or the car fits better his driving style.
He will not get first call on pits anyway, he will have a different strategy to Max, probably as a tail gunner to take points form the competition rather than maximise his own. Sometimes it is the same thing, so he could end up in a good positionTNTHead wrote: ↑19 Mar 2022, 22:58Perez is more accustomed to the RB team in his second year and has been working on his qualy performance, so that's good.

I think RB will be in a VERY good position to maximise team points this year. At present, Ferrari are the ones to bring the challenge to the table. To say RB arent interesting in the WCC before the first lot of points has been dished out, is a tad optimistic. 2010-2013 they took the WCC trophy, so they will be eager to get that back.Big Tea wrote: ↑19 Mar 2022, 23:03He will not get first call on pits anyway, he will have a different strategy to Max, probably as a tail gunner to take points form the competition rather than maximise his own.

Not looking for an argument, its his job and he probably agrees with it. they are after drivers championship not team points.
Oh, they will take it if its on offer, but Horner said last year they are in it for the drivers championship. They dont sell cars, so any celebrity is good for them.chrisc90 wrote: ↑19 Mar 2022, 23:30I think RB will be in a VERY good position to maximise team points this year.

Indeed, I was really afraid for 2022 but it seems that Max will be able to defend his title.
