Cant believe charles only got a telling off for purposely driving into someone

Watched the highlights and they said verstappen had a tow as well? Could be spicy tomorrow if that McLaren is legitimately two tenths faster than the RB on pure pace.

Norris said he got a tow as well (although perhaps not quit as good as Max's)

Interestingly Lewis said that he still felt there were a couple of errors in his lap and that he didn't get a tow, so thought that it was possible the Merc's could have been extremely close to pole.

What did long run pace look like?

Is there actually a race tomorrow?

McLaren, Merc and Ferrari all had similar long run pace in FP2. Red Bull didn’t run the same tyres in that session so no comparison to be made but you’d expect them to be right up there

Looks like the chance of rain has disappeared.

Five years after that accident in Spa, Juan Manuel Correa is back on the podium in F2. That's nice to see.

Yeah great to see, and at least he'll get to keep it today!

10 different race winners in F2 this season, that's nuts!

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Perez needs a result today as I bet his contract/s have a performance clause.

Ten different winners, and the guy leading the championship isn't one of them.

It's been a great season so far. There's barely a boring race (unlike F1!)

 

[Flibster]

Pit lane start for Albon today after changing some PU components without the FIA permission

 

[CSMonkeh]

Also Max took his last PU at this race

Any more and its grid penalties….

 

[el_dazza]

Christ, Flavio was always difficult to understand but what on earth was that

 

[Psycho Ned]

Not sure what Flav is going to bring to an F1 team in 2024 to be honest and he was giving off proper old codger vibes on that interview!

 

[KiNgPiN83]

I’m still not convinced Red Bull are caught BUT it feels like it won’t be long if the other teams continue on their upgrade trajectories. Max getting spicier on the radio over time will confirm it. Lol

 

[andy_mk3]

I feel this might be a half decent race.

 

[Flibster]

Norris, Leclerc, Sainz, Alonso, Bottas, Hulkenberg, Stroll, Zhou, Magnussenn, Tsunoda, Ricciardo, Sargeant on new soft tyres

Verstappen, Hamilton Russell, Gasly, Ocon, Piastri, Perez on used softs

Albon on new mediums

 

[Flibster]

41°C Track temperature
24°C Air temperature

Chance of rain during F1 race is 20%

 

[Flibster]

What a great start from Russell.
