Ferrari having a strategy meltdown... what's new?

Just watched video of F1. They make turns with 300+ KMh speed. Crazy!

The 2022 Azerbaijan F-1 GP will be held this weekend.

Just like Monaco, it is a street circuit.  However, Azerbaijan streets are slightly wider with less sharp turns EXCEPT one.

I am of the opinion that MB has improved slightly, and closing in on the two forerunner teams.  Let us wait and see.

The Official Qualifying Session of 2022's Azerbaijan F1 has ended with the following pole positions

LeClerc, Perez, Max, Sainz, Russell, Gasly, Hamilton.

MBs were still slower than the Red Stallion (Ferrari) and Red Bull.  However, don't understand why Hamilton was out-qualified  by his team-mate every time this year?!

BTW, there will be live telecast tomorrow morning of the Race.  Check your local TV listings.
It is Channel 506 in my area.

The 2022 Azerbaijan F-1 Race has just finished.

1.  It was a disastrous weekend for Ferrari with Sainz DNF with hydrolics issue, then LeCler DNF with power unit problem.  So,  with Ferraris gone , the two RBs led to the finish.

2.  With the Red Stallions gone, Russell moved into 3rd, & Hamilton slowly crawled into 4th.  That was quite a achievement for MB!

Aside from the above, it was a "quiet" race.

The next 2022 F-1 stop will be in Montreal, Canada, this coming weekend.

I PRESUME there will be live telecast but I cannot speak for TV Stations programming priorities.

The Qualifying Sessions for the 2022's Canadian F-1 GP has just finished.  The starting grid positions have been decided & for the first two rows, they are:
Max, Alonso
Sainz, Hamilton.

Q1 was basically a wet session.
Q2.  Rain stopped, some dry patches appeared.
Q3.  More dry patches on a slippery track.  Russell was in 3rd when he tried on slicks which were not pre-mature for the track, he lost control, and ended well below among the top 10.  However, Russell was faster than Hamilton before the tyre change!

My observation:
- MB was not as fast as RB or Ferrari.
- MB's bouncing was evident on the straight, which caused MB to lose speed & when cornering.
- A few races ago, I stated Hamilton might be playing games with Team MGT to let Russell out-qualify him in all races.  Now, it is almost apparent that Russell is actually faster than Hamilton.
- I think only DNF could prevent RB from winning tomorrow.
