Poll: 70th Anniversary Grand Prix 2020, Silverstone - Race 5/?

[Flibster]

Albon - We've picked up a quite a lot of mid corner understeer.

Pit- Ok. All Speeds question?

Albon - Yes

Pit - Ok. Undestood.

 

[Flibster]

Russell out on track. Apparently using new soft tyres?!

 

[Flibster]

Vettel out on new softs.

They certainly looked new.

Not quite enough to get into Q3 still for Williams

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Most likely not a great tyre for the start.

Yup, it’ll lose you a fair bit. They’ve got enough pace to manage tyres and stay ahead.

 

[Flibster]

Hulk P2!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hamilton certainly lit up those first two sectors.

What on earth are ferrari doing to Vettel?

 

[CSMonkeh]

Bye bye Vettel.
Gasley and Hulk looking handy

 

[Dr Jack]

Most likely not a great tyre for the start.

Did fine last week. The drivers on softs (=this week's mediums) didn't have an advantage over those on mediums (=this week's hards).

 

[Flibster]

Vettel - Ok. It was all I had, it was all that there was in this car. So, i tried. Thank you.

Pit - Understood. Thanks.

 

[Dr Jack]

Vettel just seems beaten. Needs that Sports Psychologist he always refuses.

Fantastic work from Hülk.

All that there is in this car, except the few tenths Leclerc found - is he making the implication he's not getting the same equipment/treatment maybe?

Fantastic work from Hülk.

He was exactly like this during his last year at Red Bull. He just gave up because he was leaving, and it looks like he's doing the same here. It's telling how much better Leclerc is doing in the same car.

We've also seen other big drop offs in Vettel's performance after he's been particularly badly beaten, or reached the point of knowing he'd lost the WDC.

 

[Flibster]

1:25.284 for Hamilton.

Just about a second slower than last weeks Pole time.

 

[Stumble Bum]

Get rid of Albon and replace him with Hulk.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Mercs both on mediums now. Strategies will be interesting tomorrow.

 

[muon]

Alonso must like how the Renault is performing now.

 

[CSMonkeh]

All that there is in this car, except the few tenths Leclerc found - is he making the implication he's not getting the same equipment/treatment maybe?

Quite possibly given he’s told Ferrari to do one.
Why would they focus on someone leaving?
Best to concentrate on the one staying put.....

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Wow, bottas on pole. That was so close.

 

[Flibster]

Bottas takes pole with 1:25.154
Hamilton 0.063 behind.
