Downloaded and watched Schumacher on my recent flight.
So much I didn’t remember about that era despite pretty much watching ever race from about 96-2005.
Dude will always be my GOAT for obvious reasons, but also because he really did help turn the team around with all the behind the scenes shit. I don’t know how much modern drivers can really be involved in that aspect these days.
Could of had another 3 titles potentially. Although it is fair to say he should have had one of his titles taken away.

Unlimited testing in these days was mega plus for Ferrari, so would be definitely harder with today's rules. The first time I really saw who he really was, was after he stopped and had a very nice 2 hour interview with German Sportschau. Did change my mind on who he was and how he ticked enormously.
Max making the race on Sunday more "interesting", 5 place grid pen (new gearbox).

FP1:
wets in to inters, in to part track to wet in to inters and few laps running. Than more rain and 3 cars of in few secs, Sargeant in wall and no more meaningful running.
So only FP session of the weekend and teams did not learn a lot, so we might see some teams struggle this weekend if they have the wrong (not optimised) set-up.
Today more chance of showers, so Q might be wet or we get lucky and session in between rain showers. Current F3 qualie looks to be a "last over the line" session.

By FortuneFaded Go To PostIs there even going to be quali today with how much rain there is?It is dry now and will be for a while, middle part there might be another shower. But they have time enough to get this done today

By FortuneFaded Go To PostMax is inevitable.Really is Thanos
By KP Go To PostAnything in the 2 Mercs coming close together and rejoin?18.50 stewards room, nothing more from FIA yet
but if you can crash in to another car freely, why should this be penalised.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostBy how much will Max win pole today?there were a few cars with a lot bigger rearwings, they might be fast(er) today as it is raining hard. George for example should have an edge on Lewis who is driving the low downforce rearwing at Mercedes for example.
start delayed
By FortuneFaded Go To PostDead sport
Completely dry now, hate the "we have the teams a warning, so 10 mins wait".
So another last lap quickest Q session
