Stroll once again sticks it in the gravel.

The car isn't good, but the drivers are not making the best of it.

Oooh, the advertising hoarding that was thumped broke the camera lens filter too.

He also nearly got run over by the car lifter!

So… Ferrari sandbagging in practice or Merc taking it easy before turning it up in Q3?

Whats with the Audio Up graphic now? Why is this needed?
Also, has anyone seen a g-meter graphic this year?

 

[Mr Jack]

Weird lap on the supers there from Lewis. Sighter for the next session?

Sighter for the next session?

Would be my guess, probably made some changes to sort out the wiggly rear end and wanted to get a feel for it.

They had this is practice. When it happens the Comms team stop talking for a lap and the boost the levels (at least when listening in 5.1).

Makes me wonder why they don't boost the track mic levels all the time. From reading about F1 TV Pro there is the FX only option for audio.

Epic marker from Hamilton.

What the..

Where did that RB pace come from?!

 

[steve45]

were ferrari on used tyres or something?

 

[RSR]

Clearly the donkey in the back of the RB is working well.

Did they stop talking in the UK? The German commentators kept talking over it.

 

[Mr Jack]

Mixed tyre strategy in final qualifying? Having seen that in a long time!

 

[Flibster]

Ricciardo, Vettel, Alonso and Raikkonen out on soft tyres, everyone else on the super softs.

Not for long enough :/

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Interesting tyre choices. Bottas needs to be on the front row.

 

[el_dazza]

Close from Bottas.

 

[steve45]

That ramped up quickly!

 

[Flibster]

And normality has returned in Spain. 2 by 2...

This imo, is why testing circuits should not be race circuits.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Come on Mercedes!!!!! Finally back on form. Mercedes front row lockout.
