Poll: French Grand Prix 2018, Le Castellet - Race 8/21

[Flibster]

This track is horrible to look at - if the run off areas were a solid colour it would look much less confusing.

Also the fact that there is so many different track configurations that it's sometimes difficult to work out there they are going.

Some polystryene blocks like they use at the shortcuts on the chicanes in Monza would make it much easier.

 

[Flibster]

Shock horor... Williams at the arse end of the grid.
Leclerc is still higher up that he really should be.
McLaren doing poorly... So much for the GP2 engine...

 

[MooMoo444]

Both Mclarens out in Q1, ouch

 

[Psycho Ned]

Best chassis on the grid doing well again.

McLaren needs to make some big changes back at the factory. They’re being left behind in the development race as well as on track. How embarrassing.

Spent 3 years blaming Honda for everything and kidding themselves it wasn't their fault.

 

[Mr Jack]

What has happened to Williams in the last few seasons? They've got the Mercedes engine, why are they so bad with it? They beat Ferrari in 2014 but it's all gone to toffee since.

 

[MooMoo444]

Rain will spice it up

 

[Flibster]

And we're in the 1:30'

 

[MooMoo444]

wow, Mercedes just went up a level

Money.
Without money, they can't employ the best, can't go forwards, lose more money, can't employ... and so on.

Which is why they have Sirotkin and Stroll...

This circuit is so soulless in this configuration. Still at least there is an airport next door so the drivers can hop in their private jets.

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton with the super soft tyre - 1:30.645
Vettel does 0.3 down on the ultra soft tyre

Still says Raikkonen is on used ultra soft tyres. 11 laps on them apparently. That can't be right, why would he start on very used ultra softs?

Really wish it was Magny Cours instead.

 

[Mr Jack]

No excuse for an unsafe release like that in qualifying

But this is true of all the smaller teams, no?

 

[Flibster]

Leclerc in the top 10....
That pretty much secures his Ferrari seat.

 

[MooMoo444]

Leclerc is something special

 

[Mr Jack]

Leclerc impresses again.

 

[MooMoo444]

Leclerc would be a monster in a Ferrari, I hope they promote him in 2019.

Bad for F1 if he can't afford to run in Q3 due to tyres though
