I think it being cooler and windy is going to come into play. Some cars are going to be more sensitive. The Ferrari was bad for this last season I think?

The Mercedes also had issues, they had a very narrow tyre temperature window and it was difficult to get them into it.

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.....

Race is on Sat due to Ramadan

Did Dani Ric just give himself a wet willy?

Indirectly. This weeks it's because there has to be 7 days between races. Next week it's due to Ramadan.

Probably, I've seen them do that before they put their earpieces in

Yeah, that's what it was, put his earpiece in his mouth then in his ear.

And Max Verstappen wins the 2024 Drivers World Championship!... (Probably, just getting it over with)

Looking forward to this.

Sound is screwed on Sky UHD

Seems alright to me?

 

[Stu999]

Ferrari out first is an odd one. That’s Haas’ job.

Nope it’s basic stereo with no DD, very quiet and compressed. The F1 HD channel is fine, as is Main Event UHD which is simulcasting.

There’s a thread about it on the Sky forum.

Change box output to 1080p and the 5.1 will come back once you've changed channel and back again. Then change the box back to 4k and you'll get 4k video with 5.1 audio. Just don't change the channell again, it'll go back to the dodgy stereo. It's the workaround that I've found for now.

Think its clear why everyone has moved away from Renault engines....
The only team running them were off the pace last year and dont have any pace this year by looks of it.

 

[chrismscotland]

Alpine look even worse than we knew they would be

My workaround is just to watch it on Main Event UHD

Alpine

 

[Junglist]

What are Alpine even doing!?

 

[Flibster]

Ferrari sending Leclerc out with a 2nd set of fresh tyres. Nice to see them making an arse of themselves at the first weekend.

Correct, fine on main event as you say. Hopefully just a start of season glitch..
