Incompetent to stop drivers gaining an advantage by going outside the track limits? If you say so...

I honestly don't know why we have this subjective "gaining an advantage" rubbish. Track limits are track limits, they should be enforced at all times at all corners. In qualifying, any time you exceed the limits you lose the lap time. In the race it should be a couple of warnings and then increasingly severe penalties for each infraction.

That would be the easiest solution

What do one of those beers cost that we just saw punters holding? I bet they're pretty expensive.

I imagine his point was the seemingly random inconsistencies in how they are applied.

Of course not. What I meant was shouldn't this be worked out long before race weekend? I don't think it's fair to be making changes midway through a qualifying session.

£5+

It's why we took 120 cans of cider last year

Rosberg holding people up. Could that be an issue?

CaptainRAVE · 4 Jul 2015 at 14:01

Hamilton should have pole

utajoker · 4 Jul 2015 at 14:01

pole for ham!

CaptainRAVE · 4 Jul 2015 at 14:01

Amazing how the track suddenly changed...I assume wind direction again?

Well done Lewis. Now just win the race

If they were on hot laps, yes. I think they were warn up laps though.

Not too bad for such an event. I was surprised how reasonable breakfast prices were during our track meet earlier in the year.

Hamilton needs a good start tomorrow. Hopefully his car changes will help.

I don't blame you!

£5+ sounds about right, in fact I half expected it to be £10 a pint.

Get in Lewis! Now convert it tomorrow.

Guerrilla · 4 Jul 2015 at 14:04

Good job by Hamilton, was a good session... Beautiful weather too!

Skeeter · 4 Jul 2015 at 14:05

I think the track have some say in prices, and the new guy in charge was keen to keep costs under control.

There's also a billion food and drink sellers so there's enough competition to keep prices ok.

Ha, Rosberg's sourpuss face is brilliant.
