Verstamilton all the way. 😁

Can’t help but feel that Mercedes have pace to spare and Verstappen will need to be lucky and good on Sunday. but I have a feeling something special could happen(disclaimer: I also generally have this feeling a couple of days before watching Ireland play anyone in football!)

Thought I wouldn’t get to watch it as I booked a weekend away in Munich with the missus for Christmas markets, but Christmas markets are closed so we’ll be in the pub for lights out. Can’t wait!

TCP/IP

Anybody know of a pub in Kildare that will be showing the race?

Does Mondello have a bar on site?

You've done well there. You get the brownie points for being willing to go the the christmas markets in Munich and you get to watch the race. Score.

Ah, Mrs McFly85, I so wish the markets were open. But while were here let's go for a pint and a schnitzel in this sports bar...

I'm in Galway so I don't know🤷‍♂️🙂, I just thought the biggest motorsport venue in Ireland might have some means of hosting a party for the biggest motorsport event in years.

Ye you would think they would alright. Could have been a great moneyspiner for them.

AMKC

Estaban Ocon getting p2 in FP2 is great. Alpine seem to be doing OK here. Hopefully they have a good race now.

Relax brah

Sainz is going to be told to go for it

I think it's also live on Sky showcase HD.

F1 is a risky sport to have a TV party for. Could be great but could also be 20 seconds of flash points and 50 laps of coronation King Hamilton commentary.

I can't see him winning this weekend, but I hope Ferrari can provide him with a winning car next year.

I will be watching on Channel 4. Stuff Sky.

I would agree but... HD though... So tempting.

lertsnim

HD on Channel 4 too and also Channel 4 will be simulcasting the Sky coverage so it makes no difference which one you watch.

You know there is both rallycross and a car show in Mondello on Sunday? I doubt sticking the F1 up on a TV somewhere will be high up on their agenda!

Be right back

Itssoeasy

I’d prefer to see max win tomorrow so that he can get his first world championship but what I want isn’t how it works. I just hope it’s not a cluster like the Saudi race and given that the world championship is on the line I doubt it will be, because I want it won on the track whether that’s Lewis winning no 8 or max winning no1.

HD channel 4 just went back onto freesat epg in the last few weeks. channel 126 is what it came up on mine.

really hope theres no crash, it would be a truly astonishing race if there wasnt

30 minutes in FP3.

Hamilton on softs 7 tenths quicker than verstappen on mediums.

Hes just extended that to 1.5 seconds.

Going to be a very underwhelming event for many.

Lip Out

Sickening to see that Hamilton's car with so much speed. Christian Horner joked yesterday that they removed all the corners that Mercedes didn't like when making the track changes for this year.

Rear wing giving trouble again on the RB.

Quick shot of what looked like Verstappen shaking his head in the car.

Hamilton will win it wont he ...... :(

ABH

GO MAX !

MadYaker

Lewis locks up and taps the wall no damage. Tsunoda is flying.

edit: ignore that he didn’t actually touch the wall

Gallant_JJ

Hamilton's tardy exit from the pits forcing Mazepin to abort a fast lap. Highly peculiar behaviour to expose himself unnecessarily like that.

It's practice.... and a practice session not representative of race conditions on top of that.

Ah, so he's not trying to drive the car before qualifying and them possibly changing the rear wing is a decoy, gotcha.
