I am curious to see how the new cars handle 130R. Last year the drivers really weren't lifting. I'm expecting them to be flat-footing it this year.

IDAFC21 set your DVR.

Dont need to now!!







But it is set.





Might actually try and watch FP1 live tonight.

Should have stuck on the F1 feed and watched after the practice starts. Mick did a practice start, then while coming back around the track he binned it in Turn 8. Missed FP2, Gunther was not too happy, and it doesn't bode well for Mick's future with only a few races left and an empty seat that he's vying for.

With Gasley signing with Alpine for 23’ and now DeVries signing with Alpha Tauri where does that leave Riccardo? I can’t see Haas or Williams paying him. Such an overrated driver in my opinion I don’t see him having a seat next season

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Alpine (formerly Renault) would be good. Better than HAAS or a third stringer.

Fernando should pee in his seat then give it to Button as he heads to Aston.

I feel like Fernando needed to stay at Alpine, just like he should have stayed at Ferrari. He is driving the wheels off that car this year.

Watching FP2 now. Just saw a replay. OOF.

Pay attention to the Pirelli person the comes into the Sky booth. Excellent insight and future ideas. Some we have discussed.

Would be good for what?

I missed the Ricciardo part. He’d be good in Alonso’s seat.

I just completely tuned out for all of that I'm not rewinding it

Go back. It’s worth it. Tire strategies. New tires, sprint race ideas.

[IDAFC21]

FP2 watched. And its almost time for FP3!! Will watch that live, and will try to watch Quali live later tonight as well. If I can get thru it tonight w/out passing out that will free up so much time for me tomorrow

 

[IDAFC21]

FP3 is live!!

 

[IDAFC21]

Spoiler

Old Man Alonso lookin very racy out there!! Also, "Haas front row lockout!! ?

Now I wait for Quali

 

[IDAFC21]

Quali time!!!

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Gonna listen to qualifying while in the car driving to my dad’s.

 

[IDAFC21]

quali done!! Chance for some rain tomorrow, could make things fun

now bed

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Qualifying was decent. I listened to the Sky feed for Button. Crofty is 52 years old and man, the way he goes off you’d think he was having a coronary.
