BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2022

This was a VERY dramatic race and weekend. Scary crash with Zhou in the first lap of the race.

Free Practice 1

• SUCH a boring session because rainy so nothing to report

• Everyone went out at the last minute and then Lance went I to the gravel with a minute left and red flag

Free Practice 2

• absolutely nothing is happening at all and they’re just going on and on about hamilton at every opportunity

Free practice

• again, nothing

Qualifying

• it’s a rain qualifying!

• First time Latifi gets into Q2 but it’s because Williams have a mistaken strategy for Albon his teammate

• both Aston’s out in Q1 and both Haas

• Out in Q2: Gasly, Bot, Tsunoda, Ricciardo, Ocon

• By a ridiculous fluke Latifi finally makes it to Q3 for the first time

• Keanu Reeves is here and he’s just great

• MAXY DOES A 360 SPIN IN THE RAIN AND KEEPS GOING EFFORTLESSLY and his time still beats Hamilton’s fast lap

• Ughh Carlos Sainz is on pole with a lap that came out of nowhere and it would have been Charles but he made a small mistake and it cost him pole

• So Sainz, Maxy and then Charles

Race

• HUUUUUUUGE TERRIFYING CRASH FOR ZHOU, all we see is his flying upside down through the gravel off in the background at a super high speed and then George Russell stopping his car and running over towards Zhou after seeing the crash

• No word for a long time what happened and no replays

• Like 8 separate bad incidents before the end of turn 1 and immediate red flag

• Separate incidents include Tsunoda, Russell, Zhou, Ocon, Albon, Seb was somehow involved, Hamilton too

• Long extraction for Zhou And it tossed him between the fence

• CRAZY RESTART and Sainz gets the lead

• SAINZ HAS UNFORCED ERROR and Max gets the lead!!

• BUT THEN MAX HAS A PUNCTURE so he loses the lead again

• Now Sainz and Leclerc are battling for the lead

• The amount of drama has been INCREDIBLE AND UNABLE TO EVEN GET CLOSE TO DOCUMENTING

• Yuki hit his teammate and got a five second penalty and then there’s a second incident between them

• Aww they have to retire Bottas too so Alfa Romeo has had the worst day ever

• Charles gets past Sainz and the whole battle is to keep the Ferraris ahead so Hamilton doesn’t win and this has been the most chaotic and stressful race ever

• Apparently there was a group of people that tried to get into the track at the beginning of the race to disrupt the race and were carted off by the police so I can’t even handle the chaos of this right now

• 39/52 Ocon has a problem on the pit straight AND STOPS THERE AND NOW SAFETY CAR

• Okay this race was complete and total insanity

• In the end, Sainz won, Perez in second and Hamilton in third ughh
