We are staying in Italia, stunning track to go fast on, not sure about the racing (DRS + tires?), so Saturday's onboards might be the highlight. Unless the hot temperature in Tuscany is going to destroy the tires and DRS becomes just long enough for passing on the main straight.

By KP Go To PostC1/C2/C3 is the same tyres for second race at Silverstone? Or is that opposite way?hardest compounds pirelli has, softest is c5, so 1st Silverstone weekend.
If so, RIP tires
But looking at weather and track, slowest speed corners still 4th gear, they are gonna need them
By Vini.lad Go To PostPerez confirmed he's not staying at RP/AMCan not see RP dump Sergio for anyone else.
Welcome Vettel I suppose
Bit strange for me, as I got the idea that Seb only would stay in F1 if he could win something and cannot see that happen at RP.
Just thinking maybe bigger Mercedes influence at RP and George getting a chance, would like to see that instead of Seb.
Ferrari have now squandered the talents of Vettel and Alonso, two of the greatest drivers of their generation. They're such fuck ups.

There’s no team that would take him that can challenge Mercedes Benz
So he wouldn’t have a drive if he took that stance. He’s not doing anything different to Raikkonen, Alonso, Schumacher, etc...

I dunno man, I'm obviously ever driver on that track has talent but he made alot of high profile errors
By Bungie Go To PostThere’s no team that would take him that can challenge Mercedes BenzHe always said that he than would not drive, so curious to what changed Seb's mind, so now accept such an offer.

And I am on team KidJr
Seb better than Webber made him 4 time champ, but all his errors from his jr career (yep, they aired it here, DTM support series vs diResta) all the way through F1 and on top of that being out done by DannyRic/Charles does mean I would not put him on a level of Alonso/Lewis.
But do like the guy the last few years, so good to still have him on the grid.
By KP Go To PostFerrari banging in one lap of fuel so Charles can go P3 in first practiceHe drove the track in an modern hybrid F1 car earlier this year, so that probably did a lot as well
Fun session to see how quickly some drivers got on to pace on a new track and onboards are indeed amazing as is the location.
And livery on track:
Aerial overview track
FP2
RBR on a high downforce track and heat looks closer again to Mercedes, still behind, both in short and long runs. Hearing the complaints about tires, expect two stops on Sunday although Max just said it wasn't as bad as they expected.
Lando went off in his quick lap, messed up few other runs, so timing bit mixed with those who had goor run and those that needed to abort and try again after red flag. Renault however looked good, also in the long runs and RP's were also on it in the race sims.
Lando off:
Perez pit out hits Kimi:
Charles spin:
Vettel spin:

Do like the track. Worry about the lack of overtake possibilities but this is F1 they don't exist anyway
He would spontaneously combust if he had to go wheel to wheel with Lewis or Max. Wait, he already has. 😂
FP3:
Max little closer than I expected, hope it is car balance/tires last corner (only place Max looked faster), but feel if the Mercedes boys get the final corner line right, they are the ones to beat.
Midfield surprise is that both McLaren and Renault seem a bit to far of their normal pace. George had brake by wire issue and no laps.
Pierre on it today and sometimes over it:

By Vini.lad Go To PostWe will need a major incident tomorrow, race will be horrible otherwiseThree safety cars.
By Veckrot Go To PostThree safety cars.
The f2 race had 2 so we can hope
By KP Go To PostMax with another problem before the start?He deserves all of it.
By KP Go To PostMax with another problem before the start?
Depends if it is softwware or hardware, let see
Support races (F2/3) had lot of action in to turn 1, hope DRS and tire wear will do the same for F1.
By Lunatic Go To PostMax's car was done anyways.Looked like he was in recharge mode, red light was flickering, so ERS/MGHu issue my guess. Grosjean the one that created the entire mess?
