Bottas 5 place grid penalty due to an earlier than permitted gearbox change.

Quality press conference was actually loling at work. Question about the birthday party made me cringe. Like someone is going to kick off because his boss went to someones party. Ha.

I suppose if they use that screen design that Ferrari are using, they'll have to cut down on all the aero guff. When climbing out, if Vettel's foot slipped... Ouch.......
Imagine if they had the full 2008 aero packages and something like that screen. Driver would need to be winched into the car.

So all they need to work out now is, reflections, material strength, mounting, driver access, medical access, keeping it clean, water dispersal, impact resistance....

Wasn't it meant to in use in 2018? They haven't even got a finalised version yet. *sigh*

Really, if it's going to be implemented, then it needs to be a FIA spec part tbh. 1 manufacturer and all teams have the same component.

I know! Up in the stands at Becketts and I'm frozen! Thought shorts would be a good idea. How foolish was I? Down out of the stands and out of the wind it's not too bad though.

*sigh* It's the British Grand Prix... Always prepare for snow!

Sky Sports F1 covering the London stuff. Love how they 'promote' F1 by using the old V8 cars rather than the crappy new overly-complicated, awful-sounding hybrid ones.

Like I care. Been watching F1 since the 80s and it's basically garbage now.

so true last year was the best (V6 era season) not saying much though

Wet qualifiying will be interesting. Who's got the biggest brass balls

 

[Flibster]

YAY! Rain!

 

[Vertigo]

Surprised they're not queuing at the end of the pit lane.

 

[antijoke]

Why do we even have penalties for replacing parts?

Is it in some related to try and make them reliable?

 

[Flibster]

Verstappen leaving the pitlane before the red light went out?

 

[Glaucus]

Well this could mix up the grid, what's the forecast for tomorrow? Will have to try and avoid spoilers and watch it on phone when I get to hotel.
