F1 2022


Be a shame if they have already used one of their engine allocation for the season
Don’t think most of it was engine related. Bigger issue for red bull is that there’s 4 different issues on 3 cars. Max’s power steering failure, Perez’s looked gearbox like, Max’s DNF was because the control electronics failed and stuck it in harvesting mode and Gaslys looks like a battery failure. So it isn’t just a single fix.

Perez probably looking at a gearbox penalty but Max should get away with it. Big concerns though

Something to do with fuel pumps on the RB cars apparently
 
I think there are tracks where it being as powerful as this will be needed to give anyone a chance of overtaking, but everyone is still learning, so hopefully they won't afraid to tweak it where needed.

Either way, if we have proper battles like this, crucially where it's all done fairly, it'll be an enjoyable season.
The plan is to get rid of DRS in the coming seasons if the new regs do as intended.
