"Added "Fake Gravel Traps" this year not sure what that means" - they've glued the gravel down, presumably to stop it coming back onto the track.

Looking forward to this race, will be interesting to see how the DRS through the final banked corner will work out.

Fake gravel, probably cotton wool balls painted in grey.

Ah never mind. Andrew 76 explained it.

Andrew76 · 02-09-2022 10:43am

Crap. Red flag in the first practice session, Max's car just died.

FP1 Results .

Gearbox problem for Max apparently, hope he doesn’t need a new one for the race

Jordan 199 · 02-09-2022 12:31pm

You have a great view of the track there McFly. Give us a few waves over the weekend.

It would make a race of it of he does have a penalty.

robinwing · 02-09-2022 12:41pm

Ricciardo seems quick for a change

Didn't he have sync issues in Belgium??

Do they not have practice gear boxes anymore??

Andrew76 · 02-09-2022 1:52pm

Just heard on Sky that Piastri allowed to drive for McLaren next year.

/Edit: Wrong thread.

Issue with FP2 start?

rameire · 02-09-2022 2:09pm

Red flags in other sessions between FP1 and FP2 have caused a delay of 15 minutes.

I'm solely basing this off the F1 game which is usually quite accurate, and in the game you have a practice gearbox for FP1 & FP2, and a gearbox from the actual pool must be used from FP3 on

Based on that Max should be using a practice gearbox, but perhaps there's issues with how it's integrating with the engine if he had trouble last weekend and again this weekend

Andrew76 · 02-09-2022 3:05pm

Ok so you can still beach the car even if they have glued the gravel down. 😂

Frank Bullitt · 02-09-2022 5:27pm

Looks like a closer race than last week. RB seem to be a bit slow out of the box…watch them go and win it anyway.

Sure he'd still win the race whatever position he starts

Well it’s a bit harder to overtake here compared to Spa but you’re probably right.

Andrew76 · 03-09-2022 9:49am

Nice, Button and Nico 'Equal Machinery' Rosberg on duty this weekend. 😁

Jordan 199 · 03-09-2022 12:06pm

It would be nice if Sky had an ex team owner or manager on their panel. Ron Dennis maybe?

Hijpo · 03-09-2022 12:07pm

Domenicali showed up in Croftys box. That was cool.

Andrew76 · 03-09-2022 12:29pm

Yeah that was an interesting piece.

Going to be a tight qualifying it looks like.

They used to have EJ didn’t they? Or was he always C4?

Jordan 199 · 03-09-2022 12:36pm

That was C4. I'm not sure if he's on there anymore as I just watch F1 on Sky now.

Lawlesz · 03-09-2022 1:03pm

Where has the equal machinery joke come from all of a sudden? I'm seeing it everywhere, is it something Rosberg has said or is it a pi** take at the anti Hamilton brigade for mentioning it constantly?
