2022 F1 Support Races Thread - F2, F3, W * Maybe Spoilers*

F2 sprint race about to go off.

[Sandpit Steve]

Well this is somewhat less than exciting. Long DRS trains and very little action. Needs a safety car.

[Sandpit Steve]

Nope, even a safety car couldn’t make it exciting.

[vulture1]

Might be fun to drive and look at but this is a bad track for overtaking.

[Sandpit Steve]

Surprisingly, the F3 drivers managed three laps, before the inevitable crash on this tight circuit.

[Sandpit Steve]

In contrast to the F2, who couldn’t make it past the first lap. Logan Sargeant not doing much good to his chances of an F1 drive next season.

Edit: and the red flag, as that barrier is going to need to be fixed properly.

Amateur hour on (yet another) safety car restart in F2. Good grief.

[Sandpit Steve]

LOL, no surprise that happened. Everyone trying to anticipate the start as the leader ran long towards the line. Shades of the F1 at Mugello. Doohan terribly unlucky there, hit from behind.

These drivers are supposed to be destined to F1. There’s not one that stands up to scrutiny in that respect.

Novalak was going at a hell of a pace on that restart before he smacked into someone.

Is the Porsche Supercup streamed anywhere? Used to be on Sky but isn't anymore. I've googled and can't work out what service it's streamed on.

It’s scheduled to be on Sky.

Ooof! Both cars taking huge side impacts there. Don’t think they’ll restart this though after fixing two barriers. Ah there it is, no restart.

Yeah, that was a nasty one at the end there, thankfully both drivers walked away from it. An incident-packed race, as is usual with the Supercup. I know there’s a lot of single-seater purists on these forums, but I always like watching the tin-tops as the last race before the main event.

“FIA Formula 2 driver Roy Nissany has been banned from competing in next weekend’s round at Monza after accruing more than 12 penalty points. ”

He’s received more points for clashing with David Beckmann behind the safety car.

I've been following him closely in f2

He keeps getting himself in these situations he accelerated as well a bit and backed off. Had alot more to lose in that pack but running actual 2nd adjusted.

He could have a great year next year but goota start being a thinker racer.

Sebastián Montoya - 8th in his first races. Impressive.


Now where have I seen that name before...

[TheDeuce]

A very entertaining F3 sprint race so far. That gravel is going to claim a lot of victims this weekend.

Only just watched it - very entr=ertaining indeed.

Brilliant drive from Bearman - twice broke free of the DRS train and chased down 1+ second gaps without the aid of DRS himself.

Could have won that without 2 laps too many behind the SC.

[Sandpit Steve]

LOL, the last two cars taking each other out at the first corner! Drugovich might have to wait another day to win the title too.

[vulture1]

Well not what Drugovich you arn't good enough for f1.

[Sandpit Steve]

Early start for the support races today - F3 feature about to go off.

[JonChalk]

They really don't need DRS in F3 at Monza - it will ruin the close racing.
