What on earth have they done to the rear wings of the f2 cars?

They seem to sound awful as well

 

[Freakbro]

Doh, neighbours house caught fire, now power is off in the hamlet...not looking like its going to be on in time for qualy.

E: Going to see if I can get enough 4g signal inside the house to stream it on phone

I actually have UPS, a 4g backup connection, and even a little Honda Generator for this type of situation

Inconsiderate of your neighbours. I expect you told them OCUK will hear of it?

Yeah they have like a whistle to them don't they!?

 

[chrismscotland]

Yeah they have like a whistle to them don't they!?

Yeah odd, I assume its the hybrid part of the engine kicking in

Edit: Can't be, I don't think they are hybrid!

 

[Flibster]

What on earth have they done to the rear wings of the f2 cars?

Yeah, they made them properly ugly.

 

[Mr Jack]

Yeah, they made them properly ugly.

Am I the only person who likes them?

It's the turbo valve dumping, I believe?

Yeah probably right

Great start to F2 for the much vaunted Antonelli..... Prema looked worse than yesterday, Bearman poor as well

Made up places, didn't get into trouble, and was faster than Bearman - I thought he did okay. Good win from Maloney, I think he's another to watch. Meanwhile, Bortoleto did well fresh from winning F3. On Pole tomorrow too, after Maini was disqualified for a technical infringement.

Without watching any practice session, I'm going to predict 1min28secs for Max's pole.

Horner will get the blame more likely!! Lol

It say poop through their letterbox. But might get blowback!

 

[Mr Jack]

A second faster than last year? Not sure about that.

I think Max pole with a 1:29.4s; but I don't think it's a dead cert. Looks to me like we'll have a proper pole battle.

 

[Freakbro]

Panic over, power has just come back on!

 

[Mr Jack]

How are the horses?

 

[Freakbro]

How are the horses?

Fine, the one's we took are in a paddock. The others are still over there but calmed down once the fire was under control. The stables weren't that far from their house, so it had potential to spread.

We're right out in the sticks and unfortunately the closest fire brigade couldn't come, so was a bit of a wait until others turned up.

 

[mid_gen]

What is this Friday qualifying nonsense? Ah well can't complain, sick day today.

Will watch the first quali then, see if this year is going to be another mind-numbingly tedious procession or if there'll actually be some racing.....

I think Max pole with a 1:29.4s; but I don't think it's a dead cert. Looks to me like we'll have a proper pole battle.

Perhaps I should clarify, 1min28.xsecs, a little quicker than last year.
