Poll: Official 2024 British Grand Prix Race Thread - Silverstone Circuit - Race 12/24

Spotted this at Sainsburys when we went to get food during the football. (So quiet. Not seen that few people about since 2020)

Still very overpriced... Unless it includes his contract as well, then it's only slightly overpriced.

 

[Flibster]

Technically not allowed to until Jan 1st 2025, although how exactly the FIA police that is anyone's guess.

That's the 2026 car, if they weren't allowed to work on the 2025 car until 2025 no one would have one.

 

[GravyMonster]

You're right. Brain not braining.

Did I hear in the coverage that they'll be able to change Max's floor ahead of tomorrow?

If they have a spare floor that is identical in spec and weight to the damaged one, it can be replaced. Otherwise they have to repair the existing one or break parc ferme conditions and start from the pitlane.

What a result for the British motorsport fans! Fingers crossed for tomorrow.
Any chance Hamilton is regretting the move to Fer?

 

[koolpc]

Max should go to Merc!!

Perez. The ultimate in comedy disappointment.
Wonder if he will even get points. Red bull need to sack him immediately, and they need someone a lot better than the other clown they're considering just now.

Now the rain has arrived in time for the F3 feature race

And suitably mad as half the field were on wets at the front and half the field pitted on the parade lap for slicks and were carving past everyone!

2 safety cars already.

Edit: that was so flamin dangerous by the orange car there, rejoined the track like he was playing F1 on the PlayStation!

 

[Psycho Ned]

This F3 race is proper mad! Third safety car in 9 laps.

 

[SpartaP]

Was good racing!

Interesting analysis of George Vs Lewis laps. Lewis was up most of the first half of the lap until Maggots where in the high speed direction changes, George was quicker. Lewis seems to have noticeably more understeer but he seems to be able to translate that to better low speed corner exits by maintaining a wider line slightly further from the apex exiting wider, aiming to straighten the car quickly to put the power down.

I just hope the Brit lads don't trip each other up as you know who is waiting in 4th to pounce!

George has a brand new engine this race too which probably gave him the edge in the power centric parts of the track. Without the new engine(or if they both had new engines) they would have likely been neck and nwck

2 safety cars in 3 laps for F2 so far

 

[Journey]

Track is looking dry but cold.

 

[SpartaP]

The sound from the F2 cars are so good. Especially when they're bouncing off the limiter in the pits

Interesting take from Mark Hughes on qualifying https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/mark-hughes-mclaren-red-bull-games-mercedes-silverstone-f1-pole/

Shame Crawford incurred a 5 sec penalty. Very close whether he's going to keep 2nd or 3rd


3rd it is

 

[ci_newman]

Very heavy rain just arrived at the circuit
