Official 2022 Canadian Grand Prix Thread ***SPOILERS***

[Callum43]

First thing I would place a bet on is that should Mercedes find the full potential that they believe is in the car , and it works to the detriment of Red Bull ,then Horner will have his objections lodged before you know it .
Nothing changes regarding Lewis on here . Poor sod could be doing himself long term damage for all any but a very people know . But , hey , let’s have a pop anyway .

I'm not one to criticise anyone for long answers to simple questions, but you could have said that you have no knowledge, specialist or otherwise, about the seriousness of LH's injuries. Or 'None'.

The medical team would not let him race if the MRI had shown any issues relating to a possible spinal injury, or other.

his own choice and the choice of his team. They can stop the bouncing at any time.

So I guess the next thing is Ferrari reliability... unusual for them to have so many failures? Are they turning up the engines to be competitive now they are competing with RB?

Spain then Baku whilst leading? They must already be getting close to engine penalties,
Reports they were denied a reliability repair...

So where do we think we'll be in Canada with Ferrari reliability?

Probably won't be an issue - they have new PU's now..

Actually is that official? I assume they both needed a swap. (anyone....?)

The technical delegate's report should be published tomorrow on the FIA website iirc. So we'll know for certain then.

Wouldn't be so sure about that, the Baku one wasn't.

[Byker28i]

Is it an ongoing issue with that Ferrari engine design though?
Alonso breached the limits for engine, turbo, MGU-H, MGU-K, energy store and control electronics, Ferrari can't be far behind.
Do they do a Merc and pump another whole engine into the pool

At least the weather is looking like a cool race

No, that only details what's been used up to the start of the race weekend, not if Ferrari will take new engines.

There's another document 'Technical Delegate's Report' which wasn't published on the main FIA document repository for Baku which shows RBs took new engines.

Then confusingly - if you look at the 'new PU Elements for this race' document for Baku - there's nothing about the RBs taking new engines.

There will be a document published tomorrow, in the usual place, that is the Technical Delegate’s report of PU components used up until now.

https://www.fia.com/documents/championships/fia-fo...

This will be followed by reports during the weekend, of PU components as they are used, which happens as each car leaves the pit lane with them fitted. You’ll find those at the same link above.

Not always, take a look at the link below which confirms the RBs took new engines in Baku, you'll find this document nowhere in your link above was my original point.

My document was published on Friday morning, before the start of the event, showing the PU component usage up to the start of the Baku event. Yours was published after P1, showing the new elements as they had been used.

The FIA don’t count a PU element until it’s actually used. So there’s never going to be “official conformation that Leclerc will take a penalty this weekend” until he actually goes on track with the new PU.

Think our wires are getting crossed lol, the document I posted wasn't posted by the FIA anywhere on the main Baku document repository - that's my point. Someone found it randomly but it wasn't publicly accessible unless you'd been sent the link if that makes sense?

Eg on this link see if you can find any document that says the RBs took new engines in Baku - which they did.

I cant imagine that this is what Merc were after

Seems fair though.
